Wow I feel vain

So I woke up in a panic this morning at 7:30 because I felt like I had nothing to wear to my engagement party today! I went shopping yesterday and found a dress (and other things that I may or may not have needed) but then this morning I felt like it was too short. So at 7:30 on the day I could have slept in,  I am trying on the dress! I decided it is too short and I am going to take it back but now I am thinking about what I have that I can wear. This is so silly to be freating over what to wear but I am and I can't help it. I need my roommates to wake up so they can help me decide! The thing is I don't have to be there until 4:30, so I don't know why I am worrying about it now!  

Wedding Plans

I feel like Monica from Friends when she yells "I'm Engaged!" over and over again! I just want to keep shouting it!!! Now I am the worst person at making decisions but I am sure that is about to change. I am going to have to get better at making decisions. I have made 4 decisions so far: the ceremony location, the reception location, the minister marrying me, and the date. I think those are some good decisions! I am getting married at Northeast Christian Church and having the reception at Four Points Sheraton. I have left messages for 3 photographers to meet with them. Then I am going to work on a Deejay. I have no idea what colors or anything yet. I finally took my ring to get it sized, but now my hand feels empty! The jewelry store gave me another diamond ring to wear until I get mine back! I wore it one day, but then decided I didn't want to wear it because it wasn't my ring. Here are some pictures Gayla took of the ring!

Florida Day 1

I left on Thursday July 31st with my family for our family vacation to Florida. We drove through the night, actually my dad and my brother drove through the night. At one point my dad pulled off at the Florida welcome center to nap for 2 hours. We arrived in Daytona around 10:30. We picked up my youngest brother in Daytona, he was there with church, and we headed to get food and then to the beach. I haven't been to the beach in 3 years so it was really nice to hang out there. My dad rented an umbrella and a beach chair and slept for hours on the chair! Here are some pictures of our day on the beach!

Derek and I buried ourselves in the sand!
