Distance Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

WOW! It's been so long since I've updated this! Where to start?

First -- WE SET A DATE!!! I know I posted this in my most recent post, but just in case you missed it: Nate and I will be getting married November 5th, 2010. I cannot wait! I have so much planning to do, but welcome it with open arms.

Second of all -- As of this past Saturday, I am a graduate of Michigan State University! It seems like it took forever to get to this point, but I finally made it! I am taking a few months off of school and hope to start the MSW program at GVSU next fall. It will be a much needed academic break!

Third -- We got a puppy! She is the cutest little thing ever and soo cuddly. I love her to death. Her name is Roxy and she is a miniature Dachshund.

Well that is all for now! So many big announcements in one post! I hope to keep this up now that I won't be bombarded with school work.

Happy Holidays!

The date has been set!!

I don't have much time right now, but I figured it has been a little while since I've been on here and figured I would update everyone on the latest in my life...

WE HAVE FINALLY SET A DATE!!!!!

On November 5th, 2011, I will become Mrs. Nate Morton! <3

I cannot wait for the year of planning I have ahead of me! I have started so much already but have so much left to do (naturally, as it is still over a year away!).

Our reception will be held at Harbourfront Grand Hall, downtown Grand Haven. We are still determining where we will hold the ceremony.

I cannot wait to share our special day with all our families and friends!!

Why Wait?

In the words of Rascal Flatts,

"The stars can’t line up any straighter
Let’s do it now and think about it later
Why wait another minute
For somethin’ we should’a done yesterday?
I know a little church
With a preacher who could hook us up right away
Love don’t need a reason
Baby I don’t see how I could love you anymore than I do today
So why wait?"

This is exactly how I feel. Sometimes I get so frustrated that we haven't set a date yet. I know that it's not Nate's fault, or even my fault for that matter. We just simply don't have the money to plan a wedding. I've priced so many venues and for the wedding we want, it is going to cost $7,000-$10,000. That is just ridiculous. We are both in school now and it is going to take us so long to save up this much money. I just want a wedding. I just want a marraige. I just want to be married to Nate, and live together, (or even just in the same city), and plan things together, and think about having kids. Sometimes I think about eloping...but that is not what I truly want and I know I would regret it down the road.

In case anyone is interested, here is the wedding website I started when I thought we would be getting married next year. www.mywedding.com/NateandJayme Obviously it doesn't have very much info since we don't have anything set. But in case you want to look.

Ugh. Why are weddings soo expensive!!
