so i think i should rename this blog "the life of a first-year teacher, blessed with the incredible duty of teaching 42 kindergarteners, trying to plan the wedding of a lifetime and making the most important decisions that will decide the rest of her future, in 5 short months!" yipes!
so last weekend john and i went to blacksburg to meet with lots of vendors for our wedding. we met with the wonderful bakery who will be doing our cake, our daily bread. we even got to take a yummy poundcake home with us, compliments of the wonderful owner, karen!
we also met with the caterer and made our final menu decisions for the dinner. one of the many things i am so excited for is the fact that we get to-go boxes made for us so that we can enjoy the food later in the night! how neat! (everyone says that you never get to eat at your wedding. that's fine with me, as long as we get to see all of our wonderful family and friends!) :)
next we went to rent the china for our reception. since the german club doesn't have stock china on hand, we decided to rent it to make the reception a bit more special. the print is b-e-a-utiful and i think everyone will enjoy!
on sunday, we checked out the church we were counting on. the pastor was wonderful, the people were welcoming, but it's about 75 people too small. :( bummer! so we're still busy looking for a church that will accept two students who are not members and not local. we are continuing to pray that the Lord will lead us to the perfect place and open up the heart of the pastor there so he will let us use his services/facilities. please keep us in your prayers!
now for the sad news,
no engagement photos! the freezing cold temperatures, in combination with rain and nasty clouds, pretty much surrounded the entire day we were supposed to do our engagement photos with christi austin. so we have rescheduled for march 1st. pray for good weather, please!
sorry i don't have any fun pictures. john and i are spending a weekend together and not doing a lick of wedding planning this weekend! (okay, well maybe just a little bit, but not a whole day!) have a super friday, ya'll! :)

Thanks for the info.! I think you should do a whole blog entry on what you sent that photographer - we'd LOVE to hear stuff like that!
I grew up in Roanoke. I love reading about you visiting it. Makes me a bit homesick, though.
First year teaching is exhausting. Planning a wedding is stressful. Take CARE of yourself, ok?
looks like ya'll got a lot done! can't wait to see the pictures whenever they come up- i agree with susie- lets here what you sent!
whats the guest numbers?! how small was that church?!
