Well, we closed on the house and have moved in... well, Joel has moved in! The beds are set up, his clothes, Charlie's toys, and the kitchen are unpacked, but the rest is still waiting for us to figure out where it all is going to go. We are putting up blinds as we can buy them, slowly getting all the bathroom hardware, such as towel racks, up as we have time and motivation, and then the decoration will come with time, money and gifts. I never realized how much goes into a new home, but I am really loving the process. Joel got our mailbox up, too, so that is fun!
We are pretty sure September 5 is the wedding day. We were told the approval from the First Presidency showed up on my church records, but I have to have the letter to be able to get the recommend and get sealed, so we are eagerly checking the mail everyday. My bridal shower is this Thursday which is making it so real and fun. Lots of friends and family gathering for a true celebration. I am so excited! Less than 3 weeks, so it's about time for this all to seem real. Picking up my dress and his suit this week, and hopefully will find a little suit for Charlie, too. I really need to send announcement for the reception, too, since I realized they were still in my car. I am a nerd like that!
So other than that things are pretty much the same. My sister had her third child on Wednesday, a little girl named Peyton Elise, and she is so beautiful. My mom is now back in Iowa after a month in Mississippi. It's nice to have her close again, but I know she misses it there. My brother, Nathan, just hit his 1 year mark on his mission in Ghana. Everyone is growing, changing, becoming more amazing... and for once I feel like I am in the move forward!
