Today, November 9th, marks one year together for us!
One year ago tonight, I returned his phone call and said "yes" to starting a relationship,
little dreaming that in exactly one year from that same day I would be mailing out the last of our wedding invitations, chatting with florists, and finalizing registries,
to name a few of today's activities!
What a year it has been. The past 365 days have absolutely flown by,
each one leaving behind it new memories, new lessons, + new adventures.
It has been the sweetest journey, and that journey is really just beginning!
More coming soon. =)

It can take your breath away when you think about how time flies.
ReplyDelete13 years ago I was in the same position you are now.
So much has happened since then... BUT we still talk about and reminisce on our whirlwind year.
Congrats and blessings to you!

SO MUCH LOVE FOR YOU TWO. (Source of excited capital letters primarily caused by a certain happy envelope in the mail today containing an even more beautiful invite :))
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sight, seeing you so in love with your man! You have been such a shining beacon of light and hope to young ladies who struggle with waiting for their perfect man to come into their lives. I feel honored that you're willing to share some of this part of your life with us! Looking forward to seeing what I'm sure will be a beautiful wedding! <3

ReplyDeleteAm I invited?
ReplyDeleteYes you are! =) I have an invite sitting here for you and I have been searching high and low for your address but to no avail. =( I believe we lost it when we transferred to our new email server; I had it saved in old emails but lost those. Could you email it to me? chelsyrenee91@gmail.com
DeleteOk
DeleteI would love to come but not sure I could make it. We are still doing harvest at my new job and working 7 days a week yet.
ReplyDeleteTotally understand either way, but hope you can make it!

ReplyDeleteLOVE this, sis! God answers prayers and you and John are perfect together.
ReplyDeleteYou two just look like you were always meant to be together. The next step of the journey will be a wild roller coaster ride. Hang on tight and you will have an amazing journey!
ReplyDeleteYes it will, and already is! Thankfully we are both a little on the wild side anyhow so we love the adventure. =) Thanks!
DeleteChels, we are so excited for you! We can't wait for your big day!! May the Lord continue to bless you in your new adventures!

Hey girl! Aww, I'm SO EXCITED to see y'all! So thrilled that you are coming!
DeleteI am so happy for you two ! You are beautiful couple ! And by the way, you have pretty outfit on this picture. May I ask you where did you buy it ? May son's weeding is coming and I am looking for something beautiful and modest. Thank you !
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I can't be much help-the skirt was borrowed from my sister + the top I got at a consignment store!
DeleteI get most of my dresses used. But a few stores that I love are Neesees Dresses, Dainty Jewells, Mikarose, and The Skirt Outlet. Check them out! Also Amazon can be a great resource!
