It's been a LONG time since I last updated my blog. A lot has happened since then, that's for sure!
Holiday Update:
I had a great Holiday Season. We went to Nebraska to visit Ben's family and I have to say it was a little hard for me to be away from my family at Christmas. I did have a good time visiting and getting to spend time with my soon to be in-laws.
And, I got to spend some good, quality time with my sister and brother-in-law after we got back. We went on an awesome sleigh ride in Estes Park and went ice skating as well.
This was the second year in a row we spent New Years Eve together. We went to a friend's house party and rang in the new year with our friends.
I also asked my sister to be my matron of honor. I bought her a little custom cookie that said "Will you be my matron of honor?" I thought it was the cutest thing ever and couldn't wait to give it to her! Now if only she would move home and help with all of the planning....

Wedding Update:
Ben and I have set a date and picked a venue. We're getting married in Estes Park at Della Terra Mountain Chateau. It's absolutely gorgeous!! We both fell in love with it when we took a tour. We're getting married on October 4th, which is a Monday, kinda crazy I know, but we're really excited about it. Not only are saving a ton of money by doing it on a Monday, but we'll also get to spend more time with our out of town family and friends.
And, I already have my dress! I feel beautiful in it. I went dress shopping while my sister was in town over Christmas. I only tried on 7 dresses before I found the perfect one! I can't post any pictures... occasionally Ben will check my blog and I don't want him to see it before the big day. And I ordered purple shoes to go with it!
We've already started checking out caterers and photographers.
I never knew planning a wedding would be so busy and so stressful!!
