365 and Counting

Today is our negative one year anniversary. That is if everything works out for our hopeful wedding date of December 19, 2009. That makes the big day 365 days away and counting. I am sure the time will fly by.

So if you give paper on a first anniversary, cotton on the second and leather on the third, what do give your love on the negative first? Hhhmmm. I will have to think about this one. Hopefully I will have an answer by the end of the day so Matt can have the appropriate present. Not sure I will be able to figuer out an answer to that one though.

Luckily we looked at a wedding book last night and we seem to be ahead of the 12 month engagement schedule already. Who knew we were so organized. I think for 12 months ahead it said
1) to have a meeting of the families... Done! and
2) to start cutting out examples of things you like from magazines... Done, done, done.

Like I said, we are so organized. Lets hope we can keep that up for the next 365.

Happy -1, Matt. I love you!

Thanksgiving Galore

I have so much to be thankful for... My wonderful fiance, my fantastic family, great friends, an ability to work and a job to work at, my health, the list goes on and on. This past weekend I was thankful for Matt's Mum, Tanya, coming out from Michigan with Barry to meet my family. I am sure they were a little overwhelmed because us Kennedys can get a little crazy, but everyone got a long wonderfully. Even if they didn't Matt and I didn't care because they aren't the ones getting married and they live 2,000 miles from each other, but it is a total bonus to have them get along.

I loved having Matt in California for a week. He left this morning and starts his exams at the end of the week. I hate missing him, but he will be back in less than two weeks. Then we will be together for almost a full month so I just have to be productive in the mean time.

We had a little engagement party on November 28th, which was super fun. With the holiday weekend people were either in town or not. We missed having everyone around, but we were happy that Tanya and Barry got to meet a few of our California friends. Of course, my camera gave up just in time for the party, but our friends were nice enough to send us some photos.
