Her Smile

If you're my friend on my personal Facebook you probably saw that I posted a picture of me and my older sister on Sunday during our visit. I keep finding myself going back and looking at the picture and all I can do is smile.

She looks so healthy and so happy; it reminds me of her beautiful spirit that was missing for so long.

My oldest sister and I have never been the best of sisters, in fact we fought a lot growing up, and once we grew up and moved out my parents house, we could only stand each other for so long. I knew she loved me and I loved her too but there was always that weird relationship between us.

It wasn't until a few years ago when she found herself in horrible situations that we bonded and we were able to relate in a lot of ways. Just recently we have really started to build a bond and a relationship that is near to my heart.

Going to see her on Sunday's is something that I look forward to and helps both of us get through our week. For her, having someone visit her in rehab is a very special occasion and helps remind her that she has a support team rooting for her. 

I know there is still a long road ahead and a lot of relationships she still needs to fix, but to see her smile the way she does and to hear her talk the way she does, I know the road isn't that long anymore.

Wordless Wednesday - Scentsy Spring Sprint

This weekend I got to meet the owners of Scentsy! Orville grew up in the same town I did, remembers my family and rode the bus with my mom. So cool!

The Date

The countdown officially starts, as of right now, this second there are 491 days, 23 hours and 30 minutes until I become The Mrs. and I can not wait!

We had a few dates picked out but once we sat down with the owner of our venue (which we put a deposit on) we finally decided on June 15th 2013. We wanted a Spring/Summer wedding, but we didn't want it to be too hot and we didn't want a high chance of rain. We though June was perfect, and The Mr. liked the fact that it was right in the middle of the year and right in the middle of month, easier for him to remember; he's such a man!

I love seeing our to do list get smaller, even if its little things like picking a date. We have also found our photographer and engagement pictures are in the works.

I love this wedding planning stuff!
