Two more weeks!!!

I have two more weeks to go until I become Mrs. Megan Nicole Guevara. Things are coming together. I am just a little nervous. Not about marrying John. I love him more then I have ever known I could feel but more about everything going right. I am not a planner so all of these wedding plans are a little scary but I will survive. Then we will be off on our honeymoon.

This feels so surreal. I never thought that I would ever get married. I will say that John has been asking to marry me since a year or so after we got married. I just wasn’t ready. Now five years later we are going to be joined together forever.

We met with the pastor yesterday and went over the ceremony. I love his words. He even managed to include John’s parents in it who have both passed. I still have the programs to do and to everything organized but they will get done.

Anyways, wish me luck.

My cake is done. I got it at beaverton bakery. I am very excited. It should be good.

New pics of the church

So I went to the church on Sunday and thought that I would get some pics of what it looked like. Here are three pics that I took.

This is where I am getting married. And just so everyone understands, yes the roof and the carpet on the inside are the same color. I will say this wasn't my frist choice. But it was a good choice. I am not happy about some things but I will live.

This other picture is of the old church. In one of my previous blogs I have one of the original pictures of it. I would have loved to have gotten married there but I don't think that everyone would fit. But isn't it beautiful. I remember going to early servous there. My mom says she used to have Sunday school there in a building that used to be off to the side.

The last picture is of the gazebo that is inbetween both buildings. You can't see it from this picture but inside is a bell. I rang it after I was baptized and confermed into the church. After youth group we all used to meet there to talk until either our parents came and picked us up or we got tired and went home.

Invites are done for now and cake was a bust

Friday went well. Most of the invitations are in the mail. I still need a few address but after that I am done. It went a lot faster then I thought. I had my mom and grandma there to help and Joanne was there for a little bit. Anyways, it was fun. I really enjoyed being out with grandma and mom. I hope soon that I can get a decent place to live and have them over for tea or something.

We were going to check out cakes yesterday but Beaverton Bakery wasn't open and I didn't want to drive all the way to Larson's to just find out they were closed as well. Anyways, I am going to make some appointments this weekend as we will see from there.

Invites

Today I start addressing and mailing the invitations. What a fun process. My mom has them all folded and hopefully we can get some help with the addressing.

I agree with my cousin. It would be easier just to print out labels but I also know that is tacky. So handwritten we go. Hopefully I will not have to do any because I have terrible handwritting.

Anyways. I start that tonight. Wish me luck.

Wonderful shower

On Saturday I had my bridal shower. My cousin, my maid-of-honer, hosted the most wonderful shower I have been to. It reminded me of when I was little and I used to have tea parties only this was more grown up. There was three different kinds of tea and all of them were decaf and specialty teas. We all had different tea cups and we had tea sandwiches, mini-cupcakes and lemon bars to eat. I am amazed at all the work Heather and her mother put into the shower.

We played many different games and lots of fun gifts. She also did favors for everyone that came and everything revolved around the tea party theme. The favors were individual tea spoons. You put loose leaf tea into the spoon and it makes a personal cup of tea.

I received a lot of fun gifts but best of all I had the company of my friends and family there. A few people couldn't make it which made me sad but it was a wonderful shower anyways.

Thanks to all that came and to my cousin who will continue to awe and amaze me.

5 am

It is 5 am and I can't sleep. My bridal shower it today and I am truly excited about it. However that isn't why I am awake. Actually I do not know why I am awake right now. Maybe it is just that I can't sleep. That happens from time to time. It is raining out and we have all of the windows open. It really is calming. The cat is driving me crazy though but I love her anyways. Anyway, those are some of my random thoughts at 5 am.
