10 days!

I cannot believe we are now 10 days away from the wedding! I am so excited! Time sure has flown. It seems like we skipped right from 10 months to 10 days. Everything is coming together so nicely. We’ve had a lot of great help from our parents and our bridal party and my to do list is slowly dwindling down. Although some days I seem to add something as soon as I cross something off!

Gabe’s brother, Adriel, will be our first wedding guest to arrive from out of town. He is also the one traveling the farthest! He flies in from Germany tomorrow night. Unfortunately his wife, Julia, won’t be able to make the trip out with him but I am excited to finally meet my 3rd future brother-in-law!

Then my mom arrives next Tuesday and friends and family begin trickling in on Wednesday! I feel like we say this a lot, but Gabe and I are so excited to see everyone and we really appreciate you all making the trip to Ohio to spend this special day with us. Our relationships with our family and friends are so important to us and most all of our friends are considered family in our book!

I will end with one piece of really exciting wedding news…we found out last week that we will be able to web cast the wedding ceremony! Our church does a web cast of the service every Sunday, so it is already all set up, they just have to turn the cameras on! I am working with the media director at the church to figure out the details to give to friends and family who won’t be able to attend the wedding so that anyone can watch from the comfort of their own home. Once we know all of the details on the web cast I will post them here.

Final Countdown

In less than a month Jenny and I will be man and wife. Wow!

Time has flown by since July 4th, 2008 when we got engaged. It seemed like the days just could not go by fast enough and now there is still plenty to do and we have less than a month to do it. The invitations went out a few weeks ago, and the RSVP cards are coming in at a pretty steady rate (if you haven't sent yours in yet - they're due on the 12!). I'm not sure what the final headcount will be but Jenny and I are very excited to see everyone and have everyone here to share our day with us. If you need to make any last minute hotel reservations or flight arrangements or rent a car, Jenny and I will be happy to help you with that.

We'll try to update a few more times before the wedding!
