Things that have happened since my last post

Well, some things have clearly changed.

Ahem..

Then, there was quite a bit of settling down in our new home.  I can honestly say that pretty much everything has been unpacked, arranged, and re-arranged a number of times.

My dad asked me in the middle of summer if I was still in love with my sweet hubby, and my response surprised me.  It may sound schmooozy, but I'm even more in love with him than before.  Almost as if the love I felt on our wedding day wasn't even love at all.

We both are continually overwhelmed that God would pour out so much blessing upon us.

So handsome :)

new things

really quickly - a summary of the things that have happened since my last post in July:

• the wedding invitations arrived and they look simply gorgeous
• we put a deposit down for an apartment - I love it!
• flowers are ordered and I am able to get the flowers I was hoping for (they aren't in season, so I was worried that I couldn't)
• we got the cake and I am very pleased to say that it will not only have RED VELVET but also some other yummy combinations.  (This particular company allows for us to serve the top layer at the reception and in a year, we simply call and order our one year anniversary cake.  We can choose the flavor and they'll send us a 6-inch cake in the same decoration as the wedding cake.  I have no idea which flavor to choose!!)

 Ok that's about it! :)

Red Velvet Yummyness

For as long as I can remember, it has been a large desire of mine to have red velvet cake at my wedding.  It is my absolutely favorite cake of all time because, well, it's RED.  And on the most wonderful day of the year, I want to have a bit of my favorite cake.  Plus, it is usually frosted with a light cream cheese frosting, and everyone who knows me knows that cream cheese is one of my great loves in life.  So now that it is time to choose my wedding cake, red velvet is a natural choice.  This choice has been debated a few times with my mother, whose valid concerns included the fact that a large number of people don't necessarily like ingesting that much food coloring.  Understandably so, it reduced my initial design of having the entire cake be red velvet, to just one tier being red velvet, to simply having my top layer-one year anniversary layer be red velvet, and after sampling many bakers wares, have now concluded that we will not be having red velvet cake at all.

Read:  No one in this area of the country knows how to make a proper red velvet cake.

I am vexed people.  Vexed.

A proper red velvet cake always contains some buttermilk.  It is not simply chocolate cake with red food coloring, and don't let anyone fool you into thinking that it is, because its not.  Ok?  Ok.

Harumph.

wedding shoes!

I bought my shoes for my wedding dress today!!  This past week I've been a little nervous that the store would be out of my size or color, so this morning I got online quick as a flash and ordered them...in the wrong size, no less.  But never fear, I called customer service and they changed the order for me.  Keep your fingers crossed that it worked!

Much love,
