Lets start over..

Because I suck at this lets start over.. Hi My name is Kendall. I'm 21. I'm married to the love of my life. We have a baby girl, a dog, and a cat. We bought our first home in Jan of 2013. He's in the National guard and I'm a cashier (for now). I'll be headed back to school in fall of 2013. I'll be getting my AAS for Medical assisting.

Now lets talk wedding. We were married in November 2011. This blog is me planning our November 2017 Vow renewal.

WELCOME TO MY BLOG!!!

New date.. Again

Okay last time I promise. We have changed our date. 11/3/13 :D Our 3 year! And the date looks pretty right? Maybe we'll have a baby by that point. It'll give us time to save and time to think about who we really want there. We already cut our guest list 20ish people. It was really nice to see. And I have selected my wedding party. I promise to make a post about that in a few days along with some of the DIY I have been doing. As for tomorrow, I start my new job!!

First change. Well actually change number 100000000067

Well this is my first update about the wedding planning.

We've changed the date!!! Our date is now 11/3/12. Our 2 year anniversary. :]


I get my perfect fall wedding.


Now you are probably asking yourself "Self, Why are they changing the date?" Well in an answer to your question its because of money. We weren't sure if we would have the money by January so we moved it. Better yet the date is now on a Saturday!
