P.S. The date has changed again, May 15, 2010

Hilarious how I don't post anything for over two weeks and then I post again two minutes apart.

Just wanted to let everyone know that we have changed the date again, but this time hopefully for good.

I will become Mrs. Seth Colton on May 15th, 2010. We had to change the date since I had completely forgotten that my cousin is having his Bar Mitzvah on May 22nd, so obviously that wouldn't work out. What stinks is that I really love these cousins but now because the wedding and Bar Mitzvah are so close, they most likely will not be able to attend.

I am just ready to start moving forward with the planning.
This weekend, my parents are flying me down to Florida to do some shopping and planning. It is so hard to be doing this and not have my mom by my side the whole time.

My mom and I are closer than any mother and daughter can be. She is my best friend and truly my soul mate. My mom and I have been through everything together, good and bad. So it is very hard to be planning such an important time in my life without her by my side.

So for now I am learning how to balance building this wedding with Seth but yet still having my mom be apart of every moment. Although there may be bumps in the road, I am incredibly lucky to have such an amazing, supportive family, and know the family I will soon gain will only make me even luckier.

Most magical weekend

This past weekend Seth and I revisited the Homestead in Hot Springs, VA. For those of you who have never heard of the Homestead, you are not alone. The Homestead is a "diamond in the rough". Located four hours southwest(very west) of Washington, DC. Just think "Great Gatsby" meets "Dirty Dancing". Extremely old school feel, with the amenities of a luxury hotel. I took Seth there this past weekend as part of his Christmas present.

Apology ahead of time if I sound as if I am bragging, but how is it possible that even though Seth and I have been together for five years, everyday with him feels like the first. I still get butterflies in my stomach when I am near him and still wake up every morning pinching myself. This weekend was so magical. We are the very best of friends so we rarely ever get tired of one another.

Not sure what was so magical about the whole weekend, but it was. Plus this was our first time being there as an engaged couple. I can't quite explain what it feels like to be engaged other than I want to tell everyone, anyone who is willing to listen. Doesn't matter if you were the housekeeper, front desk clerk, or random waitresses, I was telling everyone this weekend that we were engaged!!!!

Overall I just feel truly blessed and hopefully this weekend when I go home to Florida I will actually have a breather to start planning.

Thank Heaven for Fairytales, because they do come true.
