Nine Weeks!

So...I got a text from my momma today that said
"9 weeks until the BIG DAY!!!! Oh my!!!"  :)

And then I got to thinking..... oh. my. goodness.

I am getting married in 9 weeks and I still have TONS to get done!

Everything will fall into place and I am very excited.  Trey and I are very excited and we are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!  Some of my dads family hosted a bridal shower for Trey and I yesterday and it was so pretty!  Some of my grandmother's very best friends were there, as well as lots of family and friends.  For those who do not know, my dad is from Kosciusko - born and raised.  And my 83 year old grandmother still lives there.  When we were driving home, my mom said "you know, I was just thinking about the shower.  A lot of the women who were there this afternoon, are the same women who hosted showers for your dad and I when we were engaged."

How special. 

If you don't know by now, my family is a huge part of my life! 

And both my family and Trey's family are going to be a big part of our wedding day.

Here are a few pictures I snapped...

My granny and two of her best friends.
These ladies hosted showers for my parents when they were engaged!

My momma always seems to want to talk when it's time for a picture!

Sweet ladies!

Our Wedding Quilt!

The last picture is of momma, me and granny holding my wedding quilt.

My granny made this quilt in 1995 with plans to give it to me when I got married....and now that time has come!  I have known about it, but I had never seen it until the shower Sunday.  It is absolutely beautiful!  I like to call it the "love bird" quilt, because it has pretty little birds all over it....and pink hearts!  It is gorgeous and Trey and I will treasure it forever!

In other news, I said goodbye to all of my kids today!  I cannot believe that I just finished my 5th year of teaching.  I am so proud of my students and how much they accomplished this year!  I told them that I would be back to West Point to check on them and make sure they are acting right in Kindergarten...and their eyes got HUGE!!  They know I will pop in at any time and make sure they are on their best behavior!  :)  Now I only have 2 more days and I am no longer a West Point School District employee.  I always knew this day would come, but I didn't think it would be this soon.  And I didn't think it would be this hard.  I mean it when I say this - I work with THE BEST people on earth.  Everyone helps everyone and it's like we are a big family.  I will probably have to come and check on them too and make sure they are on their "best behavior" also!!! 
(you know how us teachers are!)

Please keep Trey and I in your prayers.  We have a lot going on.  We both have grandmothers who are ill and need prayers for good health. 
We are still looking for our first home. 
We are extremely blessed and know that everything will work out in His timing.  We just need to slow down and enjoy these last 9 weeks before we are husband and wife.

Have a blessed week!
