Countdown: 117 Days - Carmichael Shower

I have A LOT to update you on! Our Christmas "break" was filled with wedding planning. We covered cake tasting, reception dinner tasting, floral and tabletop viewings, rehearsal dinner reservations, hair & make up trial, ceremony music and more! This means some of you (Laura Korbecki) will be happy to hear I have a lot of content for the blog!

First up, our wedding shower hosted by Matt's Mom's side of the family, and it was so much fun to celebrate with all the Carmichael's in Muncie, IN.

Two of my bridesmaids who live in Indy also made the drive up to celebrate with us!

We also celebrated the upcoming arrival of our niece Caroline! Baby stuff is so much fun!

Thanks to everyone who was able to make the shower - we had a blast and can't wait to see you all in St. Louis!!

Countdown: 290 Days – El Paso Trip & Our First Shower!

Matt and I spent the 4^th of July holiday with my family in El Paso, TX. I was so excited to FINALLY take Matt there to show him where my Dad grew up and where I spent the best summers of my childhood. It was HOT, but we managed to get in all the necessary stops - including Chico’s Tacos, Good Luck and the Acosta Center - and spend some quality time with the family.



Matt's first Chico's experience!

My Aunts (Dad’s sisters) and a couple of my cousins threw a wedding shower for me and Matt over the weekend too. It was so much fun and the first “official” celebration of our upcoming nuptials. It was clear how much time and love the party planners put into the fiesta, from the delicious food to the beautiful – and handmade – decorations.

We had such a great turnout, and it was so fun to be able to see and catch up with some family members I hadn’t seen in years. Plus, I was able to introduce Matt to some family he hadn’t met yet.

Thank you to GG, Aunt Alice, Aunt Bertha, Aunt Sylvia, Aunt Shelly, Missy and Shanan for putting the special evening together. And thank you to all of our family who came out to celebrate with us. We are so lucky to have families that are just as excited for our big day as we are!
