Bridesmaid dinner! :)

Bridesmaid Dinner

Finally! February 6,2010 came. It seems like time has flown by since I sent out the invitations for my party. It was really exciting to see all of my favorite girls, minus one, Jennifer, for my bridesmaid dinner. Saturday was insanely busy and I am super exhausted now. It started at 5am studying with my sister for our Sociology test, then we had to take the test, then off to the Augusta Care Pregnancy Center to volunteer, followed by lunch, getting flowers, heading home, getting everything ready, taking a shower, off to David's Bridal...and then the dinner. It did not take long to pick out the dresses... I already kind of knew what I wanted. Below are the colors.

My Sister and Rose
These are not the dresses they will be wearing, but those are the colors. My sisters will be wearing the lighter blue with the navy sash and my bridesmaids will be wearing the navy with the light blue sash. It is crazy to see how fast time is going by...but I am super eager and excited for my wedding day in less than 7 months.

The cake table, sherbert bowls, and the cookies Kim made!
I am just really glad to have the friends that I do! My Maid of Honor Rose really went above and beyond! She made the cake (picture above), which was beautiful and yummy, the orange sherbert bowls, my mother and my bows, dealt with the florist for me, and helped with setup. Kim was also a big help! She brought the chair covers, made the adorable cookies (pictured above), and took pictures for the evening! My mom was also super awesome! She went above and beyond with the cleaning and the food preparation and purchase. It really was a wonderful day and I am so glad my friends could spend it with me. It could not have been more beautiful and memorable! What a good start to the wedding festivities! Also, I was really sad Jen could not be there...but her mom helped me out a lot with some of the serving plates.
The Lord has really blessed me with such wonderful friends and a wonderful family! I am so glad that people really did care about me and want to be there for me. It helped keep my mind off of "the real world." I just really enjoyed seeing my girls. Life has been so busy that I feel like it has been harder to find the time...but I know I need to. I am glad they are supportive and understanding.

I got to speak to Tim this weekend. He is in need of your prayers. Things are looking pretty bleak and he is just ready to come home. He had to go to the ER last night because he has gotten pretty sick. He should be ok soon though. He had about 5 guys at his Bible Study yesterday (Praise the Lord) and he went over some scriptures in John, what it means to be saved, and the bridge diagram. Please pray for these men there. Overall, life is good! Cannot wait to see what else the Lord is going to do!
