Happy New Year!

Happy 2013 Everyone!

I hope everyone had a great time enjoying the holidays!
Tyler and I were able to spend a large chunk of time at home and I couldn't be more grateful. It's so nice being able to spend time with your family especially around the holidays.

As some of you may know,
Tyler and I will be getting married on May 11th, 2013!
Seriously though... that's just about 4 months away. I cannot even believe it! 

And with that being said, I will be graduating college just a week before Tyler and I are getting married. I could not be more excited for 2013!
It is truly going to be a wonderful year.

Since time is sort of wrapping up on our engagement (4 months is going to FLY by) we have started finishing up more stuff for our wedding.

One major check of the list that we did just this week was
we ordered our bridal party's flowers! (YAY/*sigh of relief)

I also surprised Tyler on Christmas and ordered him his wedding band! He picked it out a couple months ago, not knowing that I was going to surprise him on Christmas! :)

We also ordered our cake topper and

other small items that I cannot wait to see.

For the most part, we only have smaller things left to do

which is nice since I'll most likely be bogged down with school these next 4 months.

Last but definitely not least, WE FINISHED OUR INVITATIONS.
Ah, I'm so excited to check that off the list.
Now we just have to get them all printed out and sent on their way.

I hope you all are enjoying 2013 so far!

PS: One thing that we are having trouble with STILL is our honeymoon. So wish us luck while we make that decision hopefully within the month! :)

Oh, the places we'll (want to) go.

$2000/per person for airfare to Australia.

$1200/per person for airfare to New Zealand.

$900/per person for airfare to Sweden or Ireland.

$400/per person for airfare to Hawaii.

Finding a place far away from home to honeymoon inexpensively: impossible. 

So... Tyler and I have been talking about all the places that we would love to go on a honeymoon. We have both decided that we wanted to go somewhere far from home (which is proving to be an expensive task).

Ahhhhh...

I mean... Who DOESN'T want to go to Ireland?

We have actually talked about moving to Sweden & even attempted learning the language. Haha.

We want to be able to go somewhere that we know we will never be able to get the chance to after we are married and settled down. We have so many ideas but they are all so expensive! It's such a let down. I just need to keep telling myself that I will honestly have a blast no matter where I go with my future hubby. 

I honestly wouldn't even care if we didn't have a honeymoon. But, there's that part of me that really wants a lavish vacation that we can remember for the rest of our lives. Ahhhh... 

If anyone has any suggestions to where we should go or what we should do, we would love to hear them! We are open to anything, really.
