The joys of marriage :)

Jonathan and I have been married for just over 3 weeks now...and let me tell you, it has been a busy 3 weeks! I haven't hardly had time to breathe, let alone post a blog, so I figured I'd update.

The honeymoon was amazing :) I'm planning to upload some pics tonight or tomorrow. We spent half the week in Savannah, GA and half the week in Hilton Head. The weather was fantastic! We did lots and lots of fun and exciting things...bus tours, Paula Deen restaurant (AMAZING), ghost tour, putt-putt, beach relaxing, and oh so much more! Look for pictures soon :)

After the honeymoon we went back to the "real world" of working everyday. It was weird to go from seeing each other 24/7 during the honeymoon to seeing each other like 5 waking hours a day. But, we are getting used to it. Last week work was insane, and I worked approximately 60 hours...we're hoping that doesn't happen again! Two nights until 2am just doesn't agree with my need to sleep!

Now we are busy packing and organizing to make the move! We close on the house this Friday morning! Pray that there will be no issues when we do the walk through and everything will go smoothly. We are so excited! We've picked out all the paint colors for the house, and have a plan to paint before we move anything in. So we probably won't move any furniture into the house until next Monday or so. But we are SUPER excited to have a house to call our own!

I trust and pray everyone is doing well! I'll post pics soon!

3 days...WHAT?!?

So now we are down the 3 days until the wedding :) I am so excited I can't contain myself! It's ridiculous! I am working today, then off the rest of the week. We'll see much concentrating I can do today at work...I'm betting on not too much! My parents and maid of honor (aka my amazing sister) are coming tonight, and I'm so so excited to see them! I know my mom is also pretty wound up (from what I have heard from inside sources :)) so I'm sure the two of us together will be a sight to see. I am just so ready to get this show on the road...the waiting is killing me!

We are going to decorate the church tomorrow :) I'm so excited! AHHH! In 3 days I'll be married...how crazy is that?!? Then we'll be headed off for the honeymoon :) We have lots of things planned for Savannah, GA and Hilton Head, SC. It should be a fabulous week too, by the looks of the weather!

Well I should get back to trying to concentrate here at work. We'll see how long that lasts! 3 days! AHHH!

10 days... :)

Well we are getting to the home stretch before the wedding! We will be in the single digit countdown starting tomorrow! I'm so excited! Of course there are still a few things to do, but luckily, with lots of help from my mom, pretty much everything is done. I am off work this Friday, and plan to get a few last minute things done, and then start packing for the honeymoon! Yay! I can't believe 10 days from now I'll be sitting in the salon getting my hair done for the wedding...and let's be honest, I'll probably be freaking out. As crazy as it sounds I haven't gotten nervous or anxious over the whole getting married thing. It all just seems so natural, and I know God made Jonathan and I for each other. But the day of could be a little bit of a different story. I'm sure my nerves will be a mess!

Other than the wedding, things are pretty uneventful - although the wedding does take up quite a bit of my waking hours when I'm not working. We had the inspection done on our new house last Friday, and everything looks great! We're way excited to get in there and start painting and making the house a little more colorful :) We close on May 15th, so not too long after the wedding! It will be a busy couple of weeks, but I know once things "settle down" it will be nice.

Well I should get back to working :) I hope everyone enjoys their day!

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 :)
