Aisle Runner and Guestbook!

Well I guess I am going to have to really get on the ball since as of next Friday I only have 4 months until the big day. YAY!! As of today we have 129 days...seems like that will fly by very quickly.



I met with the rental company yesterday and I am so excited about everything they will be providing. This past weekend I finished up a project I had been working on for a little while...the aisle runner for the ceremony. I had seen this on other blogs and on etsy so I figured I would give it a shot. I personally think it came out pretty well.

I would also like to share a sneak peek of our guestbook/photo book. I really like the idea of doing this as a guestbook and having family and friends sign this like a yearbook instead of a plain book that will just get put away somewhere. I plan on keeping this on our coffee table. There are empty pages throughout for signatures.

This is the front cover!

This is the inside cover!

These are pages that they can sign!

Well I guess that is about all for now but I am sure I will have more VERY soon!

One Amazing Year!!!

On Sunday Derek and I celebrated our one year anniversary. I honestly can't believe it has been a year already, but on the other hand I feel like we have been together forever.

God knew what he was doing when he sent Derek into my life. I am so blessed and very thankful for everyday I get to spend with him. He makes me so happy all the time. I truly have found the love of my life and my soulmate. I can't imagine not spending the rest of my life with him. To top it off...in less than 5 months I get to be his wife!!!!! Yay :) it will really be the happiest day of my life.

I knew early on that I wanted to marry Derek and I know some people thought I was crazy, and still probably do , but when you know...you just know. I have had my share of heartache, but every time I would cry my mom always told me "Krystle, God is going to send you the man of your dreams and when that happens he is going to knock you off your feet." Well my mom was right (do you hear that mom, I said you were right...lol). He really did knock me off my feet and the best part is my whole family loves him! He actually has even won over my 3 year old niece that was very jealous of someone else being in Aunt Krystle's life lol.

So I truly believe it doesn't matter how long you have known someone, when it is right it will feel like you have known them for years and you can't imagine your life without them!!

I love you so much Derek Shuman!! Thank you for making me the happiest girl in the world!

Wedding Planning Craziness!

Well I know I haven't posted a blog in awhile, but between graduating and the holidays things have been very crazy.

Speaking of graduation I wanted to share a couple pics!

With the family 

My Mama and Papa, said they wouldn't miss it for the world!!

Back to wedding stuff....things are moving along, but it sure feels like a rollercoaster. One day everything it going along smoothly and things are getting done, but then BAM! A crisis hits and everything goes downhill for a few days. Being so far away from my family and bridesmaids makes it a lot harder doing all of this then I ever thought it would be. I am finally done with school now so I can focus a little more on the wedding.  

According to all the “wedding planning calendars,” it looks like we are on schedule so that is a BIG relief.

The only challenge I have right now is getting Derek to realize the big day is right around the corner and we really do have to get on the ball. He is a guy though so I guess they don’t know about all this wedding stuff lol! 

I have chosen the bridesmaid dresses and the flower girl dresses, and my dress came in on Monday! YAY!! I made my appointment today for my first fitting in February when I go back home. 

It has been a lot of fun shopping with my girls for their dresses. I have the best friends (including my sis)a girl could ask for as well as the sweetest little nieces in the world.  

I do think I have the two cutest flower girls EVER!!

Now I am trying to find shoes so I have them in time for the fitting. I want something very comfy, so I will probably end up getting some cute blingy flip flops. 

Well that is all I have for now, but I promise I will have lots more soon!!!
