Wow. It's been a long time since I've actually posted anything. I'm at work. All alone. I think there may be one other person in the entire building. But I've got my Top 40 Countdown playing, and I'm pinning like a pro.

It's graduation season, and for the past two years, and this year, it's eventful. Two years ago, Brad, and my friends in the grade above me graduated. Last year, I graduated. This year, It's Becca's turn to cross the stage, not to mention my nephew, Justin! Also, Ty's lovely cousin, Shyla, graduates from Collin's Career Center and Rock Hill this year! That's beastly.

I'm really proud of them all. I know that they've had to work hard, and put up with some not-so-awesome teachers. But they did it!

Another big announcement! Tyler and I are getting married! How exciting is that?!!? But for all the motherly types who read this, don't worry. We've set the date for September 12th. 2015. We'll both graduate that spring, and Ty might graduate a little earlier. That way, we'll hopefully both be settled in jobs (Tyler has one waiting on him) and a place to live. That's important.

I'm really not good at this wedding planning thing. We bought a wedding planning book/guide/HELP ME thing, but the tiniest things get me so worked up. I think about flowers, and a cake, and a dress, and bridesmaid dresses, and decorations, and potential help and complications, and music, and dancing, and I seriously want to pull my hair out. But then I think about the vows (write or repeat, or both?), and out first kiss, and dancing with my dad, and Tyler, and seeing Mummy cry, and Becca's speech, and I just lose it. It's like my emotions are on overdrive. I physically can't do it. I either cry because I'm totally overwhelmed, or because I'm so excited, and happy, and all that smushy-gushy, lovey-dovey stuff.

I've got some stuff ready to go. We know what general colors we want. Navy blue and silver, because that's what we were wearing on our first date. Cheesy, right? Good!
We know that we really want to get married at the church, and have Matt do it. We should maybe talk to him about that...

Anyway! We're thinking about having the reception at the rotunda here at school. Because it's big enough for everyone, we can have dancing, and it could be really pretty. Put the dance floor in the middle, the bridal party's table on the stage, and I can throw my bouquet off the balcony!
That's even if I want to throw it. I really want to have a brooch bouquet, but the START at $350. I'm thinking about maybe doing silk flowers with just a few brooches. But we'll see.

Tyler asked me the other day if I should be looking at dresses. Funny, isn't he?

Also, I have my wedding party generally ready to go. My bridesmaids will most likely be:

• Becca will be my maid of honor.
• Halie Sanders. My. Best. Friend.
• Allison Literal. Because she's amazing, and I love her dearly.
• Sarah Shope. That's Ty's darling little sister.

Ty's Groomsmen will most likely be:

• David Radcliff. Tyler's best friend in the whole world.
• Casey Steed..
• I'm not really sure who the other two will be. We've talked a bit about it, and It'll perhaps be his cousins Andrew and Jay, but that's if they're not taking pictures and doing the video. Otherwise, Probably his friends Luke and Tyler G. We call him Sir.

The rest of the party, as of now, is:

• His cousin Allie, and god-daughter Nevaeh will be our flower girls.
• His cousin Josiah will be the ring bearer
• Hopefully, his cousin Zion, and my cousin Lucas will carry a "Here comes the bride" banner before I walk down.

As for pictures and videos, I know his cousins Jay and Andrew do that sort of thing. But so does Hannah Sloas. And Kevin Hoops (Impressive Photography. He did my senior pictures, and I adore him.)
That's all I've got for now. It really is overwhelming. But I've got around three years to get everything ready and good to go. Lord help us.
