We have been busy little bees the past few months!
Its is all finally coming together! All those small little details are being finalized and things are shaping up quite nicely. We have picked out the tuxes for the guys - they will be looking super handsome come November 13th! We also, decided on a honeymoon. We'll be vactioning in Antigua at the Sandal's resort!
I was extremely impressed with the invitations done by Desgins for Life. They should be arriving any day now, and I hope you love them just as much as we did! Cristy did an amazing job!
We are taking engagement/ bridal portraits this weekend! Fingers crossed its not 100+ degrees and we don't run into any rain! For pictures, my hair and makeup will be doen by Andrea Schutter of Fabulous and Flawless Hair and Makeup. We did a trial run a few weeks ago and she's amazing, I'm so excited about having her fix me up for pictures!
Speaking of a few weeks ago... For my bachelorette party, all the bridesmaids and I went to New Branfels, TX. We rented a house right on the Guadalupe River! We all went tubing on Saturday, it was a lot of fun. We all made it back in one piece, with very few bruises and gashes! The guys had their bachelor party the same weekend in Austin. I don't know much about it other than there was lots of drinking! I'm sure all evidence was burned at some point before they headed back home!
This past weekend was one of my bridal showers/ luncheon given by a few of my aunts. It was amazing. We drank lots of wine and laughed a lot! It was catered by Berryhill, which has amazing food. I also got some pretty cool gifts. I'm so glad all my friends go to come! Here are a few pictures from the shower:

A HUGE thank you to all 3 of these ladies!!

Wedding things still to come... Of course pictures are this coming weekend. Next weekend is my bridal shower in Lake Charles! That should be tons of fun with lots of family and friends from my home town!
In non-wedding news. Patrick's brother and family have officially moved to Houston! They moved into their new house at the end of July! We also celebrated Patrick's birthday in August. We went to the Astros/ Braves game! We had a blast! I got to spend 2 and a half weeks in Anchorage, Alaska! Mom and BriAnne came up with me and spent a few days. Although it was coldy and rainy most of the time, it was a wonderful experience. I'm hoping to go back after the first of the year! Also, on september 15th, I had back surgery. I had pins put into my L2 and L3 vertebra to finally fix a problem I've been fighting since high school. I'm slowly but surely recoverying! Every day I get a little stronger and seem to be in less pain. By the wedding, I hope to be 100+%!
