Time is flying!!!

So I realized that I haven't written for quite a while! It's amazing how time flies. Today is 55 days until we're married!!!
So I've gotten or we've gotten so much done in the last couple of weeks. we are finding the decorations we need for amazing prices and have borrowed things from friends. Thank goodness for Penny Lindsay. Without all the things she has let me barrow, we would never have been able to afford what we ARE going to do. The Lord is blessing us a lot.

THE GREAT INVITATION MISHAP!!! (That became a blessing )

The one thing we have been really working on a lot is the invitations. They are going to have to go out soon. But we had a crazy mishap with the printing. Becca Lindsay helped me design them. She is amazing at it. We had it exactly how we wanted it. We sent it to the printer. It was supposed to be 11 x 51/4 and they sent it to us on an 81/2 x 11. They hadn't cut it to the correct size. So We weren't sure if we were going to have to send them back or what, so Becca called them. They set up with a company near us to have them cut and they would pay for them. Which was amazing. So we got the idea that maybe we could have the red part of the invitation cut there as well. It's a bit of a funny size and cutting 500 of those by hand....... I'm sure a lot would be crooked and it would take us hours and hours. So we took the red paper with us.
Not only did we get the printing part cut correctly, but we got the red paper cut too... and scored.....all 500.......all for the price of $30. it was an amazing blessing in disguise!!! Now we don't have to spend hours cutting red paper and making sure it's straight, we can just put them together. It's amazing how things that go wrong can actually be for our benefit!!! I feel very blessed!! The Lord is truly looking out for us!!!
