I have to admit once again that I am horrible at keeping up with a blog. I like to read other people's and get upset when they don't update them and then I think of mine and feel bad. With only 33 more days to go, all of the wedding plans are finally coming together. The dress is altered and ready to wear, the cake is ordered, flowers are picked out and ordered and wedding rings have been purchased. Tyler's came in already but mine is yet to be completed. The menu and reception site are done and invitations were sent two weeks ago so if you haven't gotten one then you aren't invited. So far I have only received two can't make it's and all the rest are going to be there. Deciding on who to invite to this wedding was hard and in the end I just had to make some difficult choices. I hope everyone understands. I wanted to keep this wedding small, intimate and celebrate with the people whom I care about and have kept in close contact with me during the years.
In other news, we have decided on where we are going for our honeymoon. ..........FLORIDA!!!! Yes, that's right. In the end, I really just want to go to the beach and swim in an ocean and go fishing so this was cheap and since the oil spill tickets are affordable. I am super excited to go and hope to make a detour to Disney World for a couple of days.
So, with only a month away till the big day I will make some concluding thoughts about my reign as a single lady in my twenties. It was the best and I wouldn't change any of it for the world!!! I am so happy that I was able to experience everything that I did and become the person who I am today. Thinking back to all the dumb guys that I thought would be great to be married to back when I was 21 and 22 yrs old I now can see that I would have never tapped into my true potential. Moving to Seattle and going to graduate school at 25 yrs old was a huge turning point in my life. I was living over a thousand miles away from anyone I knew and studying to become something that many my age aren't even considering. I made some great friends and many memories in Seattle and gained confidence in myself that I would have never had if I had married at such a young age. Looking back on my twenties I can say without a doubt that I have no regrets. Besides, had I not moved to Seattle I would have never met Tyler. He is my best friend and I wouldn't change that for anything. Now that I am 29 I am now ready to be married and ready to allow someone else in my life. Though I believe I have integrated him into my life over the past two and half years and am now ready to go all the way. I am excitedly looking forward to this new phase in my life and I know that it will be hard and that there will be many challenges but at least this time I won't be going in alone. I will have Tyler and all of my experience from my twenties to draw from to overcome anything.

Amen, sister! I don't think my marriage would be nearly as wonderful if I'd gotten married earlier and missed out on my "life experiences". Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Hope your wedding day is beautiful & fun!
Thanks Courtney!
Julia what a sweet post! I'm so sad I can't make it but we both know I will be there in "spirit" and thinking about you. I totally agree about the great single years and all the things I learned about myself. We had some fun times amid the crappy situations. I couldn't have done it without you. Love you Julia!!
