It's the Weekly Recap!

* Last Sunday afternoon we rearranged my bedroom to make it our bedroom. Ryan will be moving into my house after we get married, so we wanted to kind of start over and make this space ours. I've never before had help in cleaning or rearranging a room, but in a God-orchestrated kind of way, Ryan loves doing both, so we spent the afternoon together making this OURS. LOVED IT. And this is my favorite part of what is now in the bedroom:

* Monday evening we had our first premarital counseling session. I was a tiny bit nervous about it - never been to premarital counseling before! Our pastor met with us and my favorite words he said were the ones we parted with - when he said he fully expected we would get married and be married for the rest of our lives. I love knowing others see that in our relationship!

* Tuesday (brace yourself) I stayed home from work, sick. I woke up feeling like I'd been run over by a truck and my head hurt so much I couldn't even open my eyes. I knew it was slick out (thank you, Sandy!) and I didn't think I had any business being out operating a motor vehicle like that, so I called in sick. Didn't even get up until 1 p.m. I rested all day and then that night, I ventured forth because it was the night of my dress alteration appointment! Obviously can't show you a picture of that, but here's a pic to hold you over..

* Wednesday evening was date night with Ryan and we actually just stayed in and enjoyed dinner and watching TV together. I was in desperate need of a night of nothing. Ever have a day like that? We also had one very darling little (blognonymous) trick-or-treater that just melted my heart!

* Thursday night I had dinner with my friend Laurie - and check out this taco salad I ate!

Almost every bite, I'm sorry to say. (Trying to take it easy on the food before the wedding sure can make a girl hungry.) Then I had a chance to see Ryan for a bit - and we had one of the most beautiful talks I think we've ever had. I will treasure that one always.

* Friday night I went to Ryan's to do the great tear down of the kitchen at his house. We went through everything and picked out the things we planned to bring to my house for the combining of the households. It was like Christmas morning - finding new treasures!!!

* And yesterday was officially moving day for Ryan...minus Ryan, of course. He went ahead and brought over all the "big stuff" while he had a decent weather day and our friend Adam was free to help. My favorite part was when they attempted to get a king size mattress up a very narrow staircase. They did it. Uh-mazing.

Pinterest Inspiration: I've been wanting one of these for a while - for our room so we can write gross love notes to each other. (Gross for anyone else who sees. We love gooshy stuff like that.)

So I made this one. Scrapbook paper - I used a glittery blue since we're going with a beachy cottage theme in our room (well, once we move). The message was to welcome him when he moved his stuff in. :) Can't wait until HE can stay with it!
