We're Buying A House!

Jonathan and I signed the papers to put a contract on our first house tonight! We're so excited and blessed beyond belief! We've been praying since we put an offer on it last Wednesday morning, that God's will would be done, and we found out today that the seller accepted! We're planning on closing in the middle of May, only a month after the wedding :) So so so many exciting things to look forward to!

Here are some pictures of the house :)

Less than a month now :)

Well we are getting into the final weeks before the wedding! It's a little crazy to think in less than a month I'll be a married woman :) I'm counting down the days though, and I can't wait for Jonathan to be my husband!

I've realized in the past couple of weeks how much less stressed I am about the whole thing. At first I was a basket case, always trying to over analyze (it's what I do the best :)). But now, with about 4 weeks to go, I'm feeling very calm. I think one reason is all of the big details are done, and now it's down to small things that no one will even notice if I don't get to them. I'm so excited for everything! I've spent so much time, along with a couple of my bridesmaids and my mom, making sure everything is just right. The favors, the programs, the decorations, the food, the cake, the flowers, the dress! Oh I just can't wait! I know that it has been a TON of hard work, but it will all pay off here in 30 days :)

So now I'm playing the waiting game for RSVPs. I absolutely LOVE going home to check the mail every day to see how many I've gotten. Most days it's about 5-6 cards, but one day this week there were 10! Bad news is I'm terribly impatient, so waiting for another week for the rest of the RSVPs to trickle in is going to drive me insane!

30 days and counting...I can't wait to be Mrs. Coleman :)

Ready for Spring!!!

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm a little tired of the teasing. Last weekend it was sunny and 75, and now it's sptting snow and in the 40s! WHY?!? I'm so ready for sunshine, green grass, wildflowers, and springtime! How much longer will we have to put up with this crazy weather? Officially it should be spring next week, and hopefully the weather will start to feel that way soon!

Just thought I'd share my discontent. I want spring!

Getting Closer...

Well we are only 39 days away from being a married couple now :) My how the time has flown! Jonathan and I have been dating a year and a half today. I must admit, these have been the most amazing 18 months of my life :) Jonathan is so good to me, even when I don't really deserve it. I know I can be a pain sometimes (can't we all?) but he puts up with me and smiles while doing it. I'm so excited to begin our married lives together here in less than 6 weeks! I really believe God has great things in store for us in the future.

This past weekend we had our second of three couples showers. It was wonderful :) This shower was thrown by Jonathan's mom's church in Stuart. Yet again we were blessed with so many wonderful gifts! The people were just so gracious, and the shower was beautiful! I honestly don't know what we did to deserve all of this, but we are both so very thankful.

After the last shower, Jonathan and I just stacked the gifts in the middle of the living room of my apartment. Not good for someone who hates clutter! Everytime I walked in the door I would about have an anxiety attack! But on Sunday we went through every single box and displayed everything on the kitchen table. The good thing about that is now it's out of the middle of the floor and all very neat looking. The bad thing...we can't eat at the kitchen table for 6 weeks :) Haha! Oh well, at least I have my sanity back!

Here are some pictures from the shower :)

Snow!!!

This morning I woke up to approximately 10 inches of snow! It was absolutely beautiful! Of course, since I am now an "adult" I didn't get a snow day like all the students, but it was still gorgeous. If it hadn't been for Jonathan, I definitely wouldn't have made it to work this morning in the first place. My apartment sits at the top of a pretty tall hill, which of course, didn't get plowed until later in the day. I had to walk to the bottom of the hill to the main road, trudging through the snow, to meet Jonathan, who then drove me to Radford. Come to think of it, I'm sure I looked pretty funny walking through the snow with my purse and laptop bag! Here are a few pics of the snow :)
