This past weekend was so much fun! On Saturday afternoon, we gathered at Heather’s parents’ house for her baby gender reveal. I won’t steal her blogging thunder by giving away all the details but I am SO excited for her and Adam and can’t wait to meet baby girl Fite!

Saturday night was our engagement party. C and I are so blessed with the best family and friends that love and support us! Brittany, Heather, Stephanie, Rebecca, Debbie, and Elaine (who already had plans to go out of town and was missed!) hosted the party and it was a blast! It was at the Back Porch Grill in Hot Springs which I definitely recommend.

After everyone ate, some people told stories about us. My favorite story was about C wrecking his mom’s car since he has always told me that he has never had a wreck. Heather’s mom told a story about me and Heather sneaking out of Heather’s room one night and leaving our muddy shoes on the windowsill which I thought was hilarious since I had just been thinking about that night at Heather’s reveal and wondering how many times she will catch her daughter sneaking out.
We also announced our date and location plans for the wedding which have subsequently fallen completely apart. My parents, C and I went down to Florida a couple weeks ago and I fell in love with a house in Navarre Beach. It was perfect and actually in our price range. I found the house on VRBO which is usually a fantastic place to find great deals but the owner of this house is a total liar. We originally just wanted to rent the house for 5 nights but he wanted us to do 7. We agreed to rent it for 7 nights but it had to be Sunday to Sunday. Well he demanded that we rent it Saturday to Saturday or rent it for 2 full weeks! Long story short, I told him that was not happening and either we got it for the dates we wanted or we would look somewhere else to which he won’t respond.
So we are back at the beginning when it comes to houses. I promise I have seen every house on the Alabama and Florida Gulf Coast. I’m so frustrated and exhausted; I really thought we would have a house booked by now. I’m pretty much stuck until we book the house and we are having a much harder time than I thought finding what we want.
We are still planning on May 4, 2013. I am hoping that we can have the house, photographer and planner booked by the end of this month and at that point it’s just working out the details. I realize that this is still a year away so it seems like I should have plenty of time but doing a destination wedding means everything has to be done a few months earlier than usual.
I’ll keep you updated on the progress but for now here is my favorite contestant and performance from this years’ The Voice. I loooourve her!
