I can't wait for the FIREWORKS!!!!

I had a busy past 2 weeks! Last weekend, Chris and I went to an Engagement Encounter Retreat in Belton! After a long drive to get there, it went ok. We had times of growth, but were a little disappointed in the amount of downtime that we had! We wished they had more speakers and married couples to talk with. It was nice to see that we are very ready for marriage and have alot of the same goals and beliefs for ourselves and our marriage! We had some downtime on Saturday evening, so drove to watch the sunset over the Belton Lake! I stayed in the House of Sarah and Abraham...Abraham was a very fitting place for me to be, huh?



Chris was busy last week studying for his summer class final. He is almost done! I know he is excited, and so am I!!! Lindsey met me on Monday in The Woodlands to do some shopping and go to Sam Moon to look for a few things I needed to get for the wedding! You can get lost in that store with all of the accessories! I loved it and can't wait to go back! We enjoyed the day! The rest of my week invloved wedding planning, along with rain everyday! It had been showering every day, which makes me sad because my Dad prays for rain, but they can't get any! Please pray for rain for the crops! This weekend, Chris and I went to Cameron. We met with the priest that is going to marry us very early on Saturday morning to go over any questions and the mass for our wedding! We then traveled to Taylor, Texas to go to my family's Hyzak reunion. Hyzak is my mom's madien name! It was nice seeing family we don't see to often! Lesley was in Italy still and Lindsey had to work, so I missed having them there like usual! Chris did get to come with me and was welcomed many times to the family! It was a tiring day!


On Sunday, we met with our florist for the wedding. Chris's parents and my parents were able to be there too! Chris and I put the finishing touches on flowers and made final decisions! I would show a picture, but I want you to be surprised...haha! We are excited, because the flowers are a little of both of us! We might have different tastes in some things, but we always seem to come together and compromise! That's what marriage is right...compromise? We are really looking forward to spending the rest of our lives togehter and the closer the wedding gets the more we can't wait for it to get here! I am looking forward to Friday for so many reasons: July 4th, my Mom's birthday, Chris's grilling :), fireworks, and Lesley coming back from her six weeks in Italy! I can't wait to see her and hear about her adventure!!! Especially her trip to Paris and the Eiffel Tower...I was lucky to get a call from her as she was going up to the top. She knows I have always wanted to go there, so I was the lucky one! She looks happy to be there, huh?
