Everything falling into place...

Well, I thought I'd update you on the crazy times of my life right now!

Thursday Oct 14

• Everett applies at a job in Morden
• Everett proposes and we get engaged :D

Friday Oct 15

• Call to book an appt to look at a house

Saturday Oct 16

• We go look at the house and love it!  Then we look at a few more and didn't really like them!
• Only problem is that someone has already put an offer in on the house that is subject to them selling their current house, so we have competition.
• Started the guest list

Sunday Oct 17

• Decided who we wanted as our attendants - 3 each!

Monday Oct 18

• Everett had a job interview that went quite well, but they were going to call him back.
• I met with 2 of my girls and asked them and they said yes!

Tuesday Oct 19

• Researched some photographers and did lots of other brainstorming, trying to figure out dates for wedding etc.

Wednesday Oct 20

• Book appt to look at the house again
• Ev gets the call - HE HAS THE JOB - starts in 2 weeks :)
• We meet both of our credit unions to talk about mortgages and pre-approval - we get pre-approved at both places
• Pick a photographer and contact her
• Go to look at the cute house again with my parents - they thought it was good, a small starter home
• We decide to put in an offer on the house that night, we go $5,000 less then the listing price, hoping that will work!  Subject to nothing.

Thursday Oct 21

• Offer gets accepted as is!  Yipee!  But now we have to wait 48 hrs from the time that the other couples realtor gets a hold of them! 
• 48 hr countdown begins at 11:15am
  

Friday Oct 22 - Our 2 year 2 month dating anniversary on the 22nd :) (yes I'm nerdy about those things)

• Confirm date - Feb 26
• Booked the ceremony and reception location
• Booked the Pastor
• Photographer is mostly in - just waiting for confirmation
• Talked to my other bridesmaid and she said yes

Saturday Oct 23

• We get the call at 11:15am - WE GOT THE HOUSE!   Possession Dec 6th.
• Did lots more brainstorming
• Looked/brainstormed different centrepiece options and flowers.
• Looked at tux ideas and our options, which in some ways were a bit disappointing

Sunday Oct 24

• Start trying to brainstorm where Everett will sleep/live until house possession since he starts his job Nov 8 :S  
•  Decided on bridesmaid dress style
• Decided we be having the dresses sewn

 Monday Oct 25

• Went to the fabric store, and after searching and searching, finally found "the perfect" fabric, on sale, the right colour, the right kind of fabric!!
• But...they didn't have enough for all 3 girls :(
• Met with all 3 girls and they are all for the dress style, fabric, and having them sewn :)
• Met with the caterer to discuss plans and that was really good!

Tuesday Oct 26 - 4 months exactly till the big day :D

• Called various other fabric stores to see if they had some more fabric, all I got was put on hold, hung up on or a busy signal :(
• Talked a bit about honeymoon destinations
• Booked my hair appt, trial, and a hair cut for next week :)

Wednesday Oct 27

• Finally my mom got a hold of the other fabric stores (bless her) and one has some fabric, hopefully it's the right stuff!
• Picked a lawyer and informed everyone that needed to know
• Booked appt with our bank
• Talked more with our engagement picture photographer and we are mostly set to go
• Brainstormed picture outfits!

So that's some of what's been going on!  God truly is amazing and this is all due to him!  Praise God!
