I think this is going to be a pretty exciting month…it actually already has proven to be. This morning, Eric found out he passed the first of two tests he needs to get his professional engineering license! Beyond proud. His hard work and big dreams constantly inspire me.
Tomorrow – I repeat tomorrow – we finally go back to Texas! I cannot wait, you guys. It’s only been a couple months since I’ve been home, but for some reason this stretch of time has seemed longer. I guess it’s because a lot has happen here and there since the last time, and that makes the weeks in between feel as thought they’ve doubled.
Anyways, this weekend we go to knock off several things on the wedding planning list: linens, florals, the color of bridesmaids’ dresses, cake flavors, engagement photos, and cake tasting. Whew. The constant indecisiveness inside me just screamed a little bit. Also, the Austin weather suddenly says rain for Saturday when we are taking pictures – prayers and good vibes the weather cooperates for a couple morning hours are greatly appreciated!
Trying to just stay positive, focused, and so thankful for all that we are even getting to do this weekend though – and not worry, I know that can help nothing (Matthew 6:25-27, 34). In the end it will work out as it should, and be wonderful no matter what.
Instead, I’m thinking of all the food I get to eat this weekend – um, hello Tex-Mex, Whataburger, breakfast tacos, Shady Grove, and post-downtown pizza. This was one of two times Whataburger has used this photo, very flattered…go mom! Spoiler alert though, I was in fact home from Chicago and not in college haha.
The rest of this month will hopefully mean progress in some other planning areas…like the honeymoon. The travel bugs in Eric and I love discussing all these possibilities. Also to come, a week long visit from Eric’s brother, birthdays, and hopefully more sunny days in The Windy City!
Before I sign off from all these thoughts that have come with greeting the new month, sharing a few links I’m loving right now – enjoy!
- Leo beaming while he gets Oscar engraved {finally!} & the thoughts Buzzfeed plugged in.
- Swooning over these Anthropologie dishes. And the serveware. And the bar accessories.
- One of my fave bloggers is Helene over at Helene in Between – I love her spunk, variety of posts, and killer blogging resources that I’m trying to work through.
- Sorry another Buzzfeed link, but hint it has a puppy + braces, I can’t.
