I warned you in the beginning that the updates would be infrequent and it turns out I was right. We haven't talked since November and a lot has happened since then! I have been looking back through my photos and couldn't believe all there is to talk about! But let's start with the wedding since that is why we are all here!
Plans for the wedding are going great! We have our caterers selected and our menu (mostly) determined. We are going with a small catering company from McKinney that will be a perfect compliment to the relaxed atmosphere we are trying to create for the wedding.
A couple months ago Travis and I went to the mall to shop for a birthday present and ended up buying our wedding bands! We are both extremely excited about having our wedding bands and we cannot wait until the day that we actually get to start wearing them! Travis keeps trying to sneak and put his on so I locked it away to keep him from being too tempted! While we were at the mall we walked by the Rainforest Cafe where they had artists out front doing caricatures. On a whim we stopped and had ours done. I LOVE IT! I wanted to save it as a surprise for everyone to see at the wedding but I couldn't resist posting it here.

We finally set up our registries! We decided to register at Target, REI, and Honeyfund. There is more information about the registries on the About tab. I've also added information about the hotel block to the About tab. The hotel is a brand new Courtyard Marriott 10 minutes from the wedding venue and we got a really good rate for the wedding.
I'm sure by now you have noticed the tree that we put on all of the wedding correspondence. That has become our logo as a couple and we plan to continue using it. As a result, we decided to make it a permanent part of us as a constant reminder of our commitment to each other. So after the New Year we went together and got matching tattoos!!
At the end of February I moved out of my apartment in Dallas that I have lived in for 2 years and moved into the apartment that will become Travis and my first home together! It was a lot of work and I couldn't have done it without all of Travis' help. I am now completely moved into our new apartment and we are rushing to get it put together so that it is presentable next weekend when our family comes into town for our wedding shower.
Saying goodbye to my last apartment as a single woman!
Those are the highlights of the last few months. There is a lot more that we could add to this post but we will save all those stories for lunches and happy hours. Thank you to everyone that is helping to keep us sane during this crazy season of our life. All of the prayers, words of encouragement and excitement about our upcoming marriage continue to remind us of all the love and support we have as we start our life together.
Only 49 more days!!!
