Ohhh I Wanna Take You To Jamaica...

This was me attempting to sing the Beach Boys song. If you have not guessed it, I shall tell you. Bryan and I have booked out honeymoon to Tower Isle, Jamaica! We are going to be staying at the lovely Couple's Resort where not only are they going to be able to accommodate to my gluten-free diet, but they offer a wide variety of activities including the Dunn's River Fall tour, a catamaran cruise, a couple's massage, trip to Margaritaville, horseback riding, and all the water sports you can think of! You can only imagine the excitement Bryan and I are already feeling. Our travel agent, Denise is a peach! She is going to make our life simpler by taking care of our honeymoon for us. Enjoy some of the pictures below of the Couple's Resort in Tower Isle.

September is giving me a lot to look forward to. We are going to Chicago with my parents to browse through some Indian stores and show Bryan the best parts of the Windy City. Not to mention my first Cardinal's game at the new Busch stadium (sad, I know) for my 25th birthday, a trip to Raleigh, North Carolina to see some of my best gals, and a family fun-filled weekend with Bryan's family for their big family reunion! Oh, how I love September! Be on the lookout for many more pictures and updates! Love.

Good Bye Double Digits.

You guessed right if you are thinking what I am thinking. Today marks 9 months and so many days until Bryan and I get married. No more double digits for our countdown. So much has been going on in both of our lives that I keep forgetting we are still in the wedding planning process and have so much to look forward to in 9 months and so many days. We are working right now on getting the little things accomplished. This week we hope to settle on a honeymoon destination and resort as well as transportation. We are meeting with the sweetest travel agent this Friday and discussing our options for our honeymoon! We will reveal next week where we are planning on going so stay tuned! The next big thing is to start working on our centerpiece idea and acquiring all the pieces we need for it. Besides wedding planning, we hope to have another weekend of fun and relaxation mixed in with reading and more photography! I have been feeling a bit sick lately, so hopefully some rest will cure it. I still can't believe how fast the months are going by until we are Mr. and Mrs. Lindsey! We cannot wait!

P.S. I told Bryan about yesterday being 10 months until our wedding day. Here is how our conversation went.

Bryan: "Should we celebrate the countdown like we celebrate the countdown for St. Pat's?"

Me: "What do you mean?"

Bryan: "You know...by going to the bar."

Me: "Oh dear. Maybe a wine bar?"

Bryan: "Sweet."

Haha. Ladies and gentlemen, this is why we are so great together! I love you, B! Love.

Girls Weekend.

I wish I was still at the Lake. For the three days I was there, I forgot about everything that has been going on in our lives. The calm voice of the Lake, the laughter heard from every woman there, and the cute faces of the girls that I couldn't get enough of. What a great weekend it was. For the first time, Bryan's mom's side of the family decided to have our first annual "Girls Weekend." I cannot express how much fun it was to get away and spend some time with all the wonderful gals. There were aunts, nieces, granddaughters, daughter-in-laws, a future daughter-in-law, and mothers. Most of what I will always remember from this weekend is the laughter. It makes me smile every time when I think of how much we laughed that weekend. I don't remember the last time I laughed so hard that tears were strolling down my face. I've said it once, and I will say it again, but I am one lucky gal to get to marry into one heck of a family! Enjoy the pictures. Much love.

Blog Makeover.

Wow, I need to get back in the swing of writing here more!

In other news, I am sure you have recognized a little blog makeover. I really like the black background and colors. I hope you all noticed that pictures (oh the fabulous pictures) were added as well. I know what you are wondering, and you are correct. We got our engagement pictures in yesterday, and we love them! Kelly Manno is pretty spectacular, and I highly suggest her to any of our friends and families. I don't know if there was a picture I disliked even slightly. She captured Bryan and I's personalities not to mention our style very well. She basically rocks! If you have a Facebook account, they are posted on my profile. Check it out!

I have pictures and a recap to post sometime this week of the first annual "Girls Weekend" with Bryan's mom's side of the family. 14 gals + yummy food + delicious drinks + one lake side house = a blast. Stay tuned. Love.

Sneak Peak.

I cannot believe I have forgotten to write a post on this. For now, I will leave you all with a little teaser or I shall call it, a "Sneak Peak." Our AMAZING (that is an understatement) photographer, Kelly Manno, took our engagement pictures a few weeks ago. She posted some of her favorites from our session on her blog a week ago. Bryan and I don't even have a word to describe how in LOVE we are with them so far. We will be getting the rest sometime soon. Enjoy!

Engagement Pictures.

As for the weekend, hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I am starting my weekend early by going to see "The Ugly Truth" with a friend, and then I'm off to the Lake of the Ozarks with all the women on Bryan's mom's side of the family for a Girls Weekend. I am so excited! I have a feeling we are going to laugh a LOT and do some relaxing! I hope to catch up on reading my really good book "Belong to Me" and taking some more pictures! Catch you all next week where I will have some pictures up from the weekend! Lots of love.
