So, have I told you that I'm busy? Because if not, I guess I should... I'm kind of busy... Who would have thought that keeping a wedding simple would still be stressful?? I figured that if I kept it simple it wouldn't be as stressful, but it is... :( I'm working on this. Maybe it's just my personality. For a non-perfectionist (at least I don't think I am, others may say different) I sure have had some stress. I'm thinking that it's mostly work, ok it is all work, but working a more than full time job and planning a wedding isn't much fun. I'm not sure how people do it.

Ok enough with the ranting... On to other things! I haven't blogged in a bit so a quick update. On the Fourth Rusty's Aunt and Uncle had all his family over for a big BBQ and wedding shower. It was fun to relax and talk with his family. I had one of the biggest compliments given to me by his Uncle and I hope I can live up to his expectations! He told Rusty he wasn't sure how he did it, but I was a good one, and he should do what he can to keep me. (I've got them all tricked!! ;) just kidding) Rusty and his family all said that was a pretty big deal so I was pretty flattered by it. It was really fun talking to his Aunt and Grammie who I haven't been able to spend much time with. We received a lot of our kitchen stuff so we can cook, but would still be eating off paper plates and silverware... Less clean up I guess right? :)

Judith took our engagement pictures and did an AWESOME job... to see some of them you can check out my Facebook page or just check back... I'll get around to posting some soon!

Rusty had a few interviews this month with the Texas Department of Agriculture as well as the USDA. He was offered a job with TDA here in Austin, and is still waiting to hear one way or the other from USDA. He's hoping for an offer from USDA, but we are grateful for the job he would have at TDA if that is what we get. He's very excited about the upcoming opportunities, and the experiences he will gain from these careers.

Everything else is going well. We are figuring things out for the wedding one piece at a time, but I can say as stressful as it gets, I'm VERY grateful to have my mom and sisters and sisters-in-law to help me with it all. It's been fun at times, and stressful too, but I'm not gonna lie. I'll be VERY happy when it is all over, and I don't have to think about it anymore!

Love y'all!

PS... have I told you that I love this man???
