BUMP IN THE ROAD/ BELIEVING FOR INTERVENTION

Thing have been going great. Jeff and I had our first pre-marriage counseling session and Brandon only wants to see us one more time before the wedding. My wedding dress came in and is amazing. My Dad paid for my dress ( such a blessing). We were scheduled to sign papers on a new/used car this weekend ( most know I have been without a car for a year now, my boss has been letting me use the company truck,She has been a big blessing), we have lined out everything to set down and order all the wedding stuff. Then .......................Big bump in the road.
The IRS is a week behind in sending out returns ( I can handle this) Then Jeff calls, he has been laid off from his job along with several others. He was able to find something part time, but without a full time job there is no way we can handle the car payment. So I feel like I have to make a choice. See I can buy a used car ( cheap) which I a have to or I can have a wedding, but for now there is no way we can afford both. I know what I need to do but my heart breaks at the thought of calling off my wedding but we can always go to the JP and get married the wedding was just for me. I PRAY for divine intervention and that GOD provide a way for my needs and my desires to both be met. I hope all of you will pray with me and believe this will happen.

60 DAYS

Well we are 60 days away from the wedding. And starting to feel a little overwhelmed. We have made a lot of progress in planning. We have a place to get married, We have picked the flowers, the wedding dress, found someone to make the cakes. I have the room decorations all laid out in my mind. We start our counseling with Brandon on the 25Th.( Just pray there are no bumps in the road with that). Now we are just waiting on the money. And I am starting to get impatient. I need to file my taxes to get the money to pay for everything and my boss hasn't even started the w-2's yet. I hate having to wait on someone else to get what I need, and my boss gets in no hurry to do anything, if she knows she has till the 31st she will wait till the 30Th to start.
On a happier note we had Mom take our engagement pic Sunday and I think the are going to be great.

OK we have made a few decisions on the wedding and I thought I would get some feed back on the choices that we have made. First is the date March 14Th 2009. Next is location, KLF downtown ( I am calling tomorrow to make sure we can have it on that date). Then the colors tangerine and yellow.


Then we have the flowers:

The cake:

Bridesmaid dress:

bridesmaid in tangerine and maid-of-honor in yellow

Jeff's ring:

The wedding dress:

There are still a million things to do and plan but we are making head way.
