I guess I'm in full blown planning mode these days. I'm really not sure when the switch occured but it seems as though Septemeber is stuffed full of wedding stuff.
This past weekend Gavin and I registered!The best part about having registered is that we have already recieved our first registry gift!! My mom bought us a place setting of our everyday china. She also bought us our roaster although that some how did not show up on the list of our registry. Either way, I'm thrilled to have this all feel so real!
Next on the agenda is our engagement pictures next weekend. That same day we also have a meeting with our DJ to discuss how that lay out is going to be.
My cake topper is safely sitting in a box here in my office, waiting patiently to sit on our cake. I am getting anxious to start looking for bridesmaids dresses, but I know I have plenty of time.
Our website is up and running, I will make sure to put the address to our site on our save the dates which should be going out at the beginning of October.
Hmmm... what else is there???
So far I am not stressed. It all seems to just go as it needs to go and work out as I would like for it to work out. My mom and I are taking workout classes at the rec center so I guess even that (that being my weight) is being handled.
I really am excited to be Gavin's wife! Only 9.5 months to go!!

My Last Fall as a McCall
Life seems to be trucking right along.
I'm in the rutine of working 8-3:40 and coming home, picking up, starting dinner and waiting to hang out with my love. I actually get to stay up until past ten this year since I can sleep until almost 7! I absolutely love it!!
Things are falling right into place, too. We are getting our engagement pictures taken this month and then we will send out the save the dates so that everyone will for sure remember!
I have a website on theknot.com if you search for us there. I'm excited to closer and closer to the date, but I'm kind of strangely looking forward to all these "last time as a Mccalls". My last time at the statefair as a McCall, my last thanksgiving as a McCall, my last Christmas... as the year goes through it is like I am walking through this rite of passage and I love it!!
I'm enjoying all there is so far in my last fall as a McCall...

A Castle and a Cake, too
Wow.
I am typing this on my last day of summer. I remember when all my friend's summer started before mine I joked that maybe mine would last longer because I could just not land a job. I didn't think that was true... but it was. No job this year for me. Somehow, though, it is all working out anyways. And as it turns out, I think my summer ended up being almost exactly the length of my friends if longer than only by 4 days!
So here is where summer brought me:
At the end of the school year I was unemployed. I am now a tutor for the school district in which I live. The pay is, I believe, less than 1/3 of what I was making in my district, but the commute is also 1/3 of what I used to drive. This is not the job I pictured in my head, but God was faithful and as usual, He is giving me what He has seen for me and not what I had seen for myself. I believe with all my heart that He is working on me through this experience and I am excited to see the results! Also, I'm just excited to have students again!
At the end of the school year I had only picked the church which I was going to get married in- which was really decided the moment I laid eyes on my groom. How can you meet in a church and yet not get married there?! Any ways, now we have the church, the reception location (Which includes catering), the cake, the florist, the photographer (oops, I had that one before school was out too) the DJ, and the dress is picked out and waiting on my check. I also have my ceremony musicians who are my very talented friends! So basically, I have all the big stuff reserved and can now focus on work and my house and take on little projects here and there (registering, picking bridesmaids dresses, save the dates/invites). All and all, I would say I had a very productive summer!
At the end of the school year I had just walked away from a house I was only days away from buying. I went through a summer of waiting and finally found the house I wanted, then it flooded and I had to have it redone on the inside. Now I am typing to you from my office which is light and airy and homey and perfect.
And as far as operation ripped and famished goes... well, nothing really changed there. It is still on my "to list".
God blessed me and Gavin this summer in a multitude of ways. Our relationship was strengthened by the trials life threw at us! I noticed something though, we take turns being the stressed out one and the calm one. I am finally understanding what people mean when they talk about couples that "balance" each other. I hope we can maintain this balance as we continue our adventure towards the aisle and eventually walk down it next summer! I can't wait to see where God has taken me by then!!
