update on our house
So, today Jerrod went in to get information on our house...come to find out we are getting one in the brand new housing development on base! The house we have been assigned to hasn't even been finished yet! AND we have 3 bedrooms! I have no idea why we are going to need 3 bed rooms....but at least we can have all our family and friends come visit us from home and not lack space :-) Just thought id share some really great news.

WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!
As of monday Jerrod had put us on the housing list on base...we were told we could have one in a month or so....today Jerrod got a call and we have a house already!!!! We have it on September 20th...which means we will have it to move right into when we get to Arizona! :-D I am sooo excited.
WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!!
That is the biggest news to update everyone on.
However, last Sunday i had my bridal shower thrown by my mom and sister-it was beautiful and wonderful. There was a great turn out and i enjoyed seeing everyone who could make it. My aunt Mary made the cake-it was gorgeous and so super yummy. I got some really amazing gifts and lots of things to help start my home with Jerrod. Thank you to everyone! I couldn't have asked for a better day or a more beautiful party.
We are 3 weeks and 1 day away from the wedding-i cant believe it!!!
OH and i found someone to play piano at the ceremony. She is a wonderful sweet woman who i have waited on all summer at the restaurant and during a conversation a few weeks ago i found out she plays piano and she told me to give her a call if i got stuck. welllll i got stuck, gave her a call and met with her yesterday at the church. She played through tons and tons of music and we planned out the whole ceremony! I am so excited and SO happy :-)
Just one more thing i don't have to worry about!
Yesterday i had my first dress fitting! my mom, sister and me headed to Lewiston and did that...i cant wait for Jerrod to see me in it, i LOVE it soooo much...i don't ever want to take it off every time i put it on.

Only one more month!
Well, not too much has happened, but enough that i feel like i am slacking at keeping up with this whole blog thing.
Last week me and my sister headed to Aunt Julies and we had my hair run through...went so well and so relieved we were able to come up with something that i love and that looks great :-)
I met with the DJ as well last week...theres so much that i didn't realize i needed to do at the reception! geesh. I meet with her again Wednesday to make sure i have done my 'homework' and completed our playlist (or at least cut down from 10 hrs of music to 5!)
Well, Jenn's tickets were purchased a week or two ago, so that's a relief as well. It's good to know one of my bridesmaids is all taken care of in transportation now (she's coming in from NC)
Speaking of girls, i got to spend the weekend with my girl Sam and see her in her dress and shoes-it was nice because the only one i had seen was my sisters and that's different than the others. It was GORGEOUS and she really seemed to love it since she was dancing around in the house in it...I'm very happy with the color that it ended up being!
Tux shop switch happened as well - and thank god. They were giving me the run around at mens wearhouse in portland and not accommodating for my guys at ALL. Not to mention stressing me out so much that both times i had been in to order and pick out i left with a migraine and practically in tears because they wouldn't help me or anything...I canceled them and now I'm going through the Brunswick Flower Shop-and thank god for that.
The menu is set for the reception...If you did not know or were wondering we are not having a bar-it is BYOB. We will have some wine provided for early reception but that is it. The closest store that sells any alcohol is 20 minutes away so keep that in mind and bring what you would like/need for the evening. If you are planning on drinking please have a DD or plan on staying at one of the local hotels/motels on the island.
Its really getting down there...I'm getting anxious already...mostly i just want to see Jerrod. Im counting the days till he steps foot off the plane rather than the wedding day to be honest.
