Mr. and Mrs. Blackwelder

More to come....I stole this pic from Sara's MySpace page.

The countdown begins.....

Wow, we are six days away from our wedding! May I panic now? Just kidding, I haven't hit panic mode yet, but I am getting nervous about having so many people looking at me. I am so surprised at how nervous I am to be in front of people. I was a dancer most of my life and also I played sports in High School and was in the choir. I have had many, many, people watching me before. I even danced in college in front of hundreds, so why am I so nervous about my family and friends? Maybe because it's the most important day of my life thus far and I'm just a bit terrified I may trip or fall of the stage? Oh well, Im not the first bride to do this and I won't be the last. If everyone else can manage I guess I can too...:) On a different note, Justin's house sold! Wooohooo! Which means we got our dream house! double woohoo! I've said this before, but I just can't get over what God is doing in our lives right now. I am so overwhelmed with his glory that I can barely sit still! I can hardly wait to see what the rest of our lives together has in store.

My mom and sister are coming up on Tuesday and will stay until the big day. I'm looking forward to doing some wedding things with my mom. Because she lives so far away from me, we haven't really had the opportunity to do the mother daughter pre-wedding things and I've found myself the last week or two really wishing she were here to keep me calm. Anyway, she'll be here soon enough and before I know it I'll be walking down the aisle, moving into our new house and then we're off to Mexico for two weeks! Yippi! I must go now and do some house work, don't be jealous.

Bachelorette Party

My last big night out as a single girl happened this weekend. I was fortunate enough to celebrate with all of my friends (high school, college and work). It was so much fun to have them all together in one place. We started the evening with a personal shower at the hotel and then had dinner and the Melting Pot followed by dancing at the XO lounge. Great times were had by all and I was left with lots of "pretty things" and an overwhelming feeling of how lucky I am to have such amazing friends. Thank you girls for giving me the best party ever, the next time I have a night out with you all I'll be a Mrs.!
