Rachel's big move

I'm writing this since Rachel doesn't have internet yet.

It was a hectic weekend for all, but Rachel is now in her apartment in Chesterton! It's so good to have her close by...plus it's an easier commute for her to work. It should be easier to plan things too. I've been helping her unpack things and make the new apartment more of a home.

I bought my dress!

Yeah! I bought my dress tonight! It's so pretty and I can't wait to wear it - it's a good thing the dress shop owner is keeping the dress at her shop or else I'd be trying it on all the time! :) Sorry, can't describe it any more than that - but if anyone (other than Brandon) is really curious about it, I do have a few pictures I could share.

It's really fun to plan a wedding - maybe I should have considered becoming a wedding planner when I decided to switch careers.... :)

More Updates

Hi everyone!

I only have nine more days of commuting from Elkhart to Michigan City - because I am moving to my new apartment in Chesterton on August 18th. Yeah! I'm excited to have found an apartment in Chesterton (although I will miss having my own washer and dryer in my apartment).

So, onto the wedding update...

This past weekend we visited our reception hall which is in Wakarusa, Indiana and then I went to Nappanee where I may have found a dress (but I can't write about that b/c Brandon can't know anything about it). :) Visiting the hall on Saturday was nice because it was set-up for a reception already, so we got some additional decorating ideas (although the hall has some decorations that are already set-up too). The hall coordinator was very friendly and helpful and not high-pressure, so the meeting was very nice. I'm excited to be getting items checked off our list.

No wedding things will be going on over the next two weekends because I have to pack this weekend and then the movers come on the next Saturday (the 18th) - so unless we can talk to a photographer during the week, we probably won't have any major updates over the next few days. But we'll keep you all posted as we keep planning. :)

We've got a DJ



We've decided to hire my friend's DJ service for our wedding. Tim has some really good equipment needed for DJing and he is really excited about his work. Here's a quick link to his information: Agape DJ Service.
