~We have secret sisters at church and I am loving giving all the cards and presents and am ready to get to know my pal better when it's no longer a secret haha
~We are going to College Station this weekend for Halloween and am so excited to see all my friends I miss so so much
~Loving my job at the flowers shop. I'm slowly building up my flower knowledge and trying to get comfortable making arrangements!
~Have a friend of mine coming to bible class with me tonight! I'm excited that she is showing interest
~We are all settled into our apartment and it feels like Home. I'm enjoying getting seasonal decorations and making it ours :)

    Sounds like things are going great for you! I've never done a secret sisters thing, but that sounds really neat. :) That's so awesome that you are planning Andy Pettitte's son's birthday party?!?!!!! My husband would be so jealous! He is the hugest Yankees fan! How did you come into contact with such an opportunity?

Working 9 to 5

Well ....I GOT A JOB!!! I am back working for the people that I interned with last summer, TAD AKERS Event Facility. They recently bought a florist down the street so we are all working at both locations. I split my time up between the 2 M-Th and am off on Fridays! I will have to work some Saturdays when there is an event to work but other than that yay for long weekends. It's going to be great since I already know and love the ladies I work with and have a good understanding already of how everything works at TAD AKERS. Now the flower shop is a totally different story. We have to learn the computer system and how to place orders and things. But...we get to learn floral design and help with the arrangements. I'm super duper excited about this since I love working with flowers and have been wanting to learn more about it. I will be working on marketing the flower shop and meeting with potential clients and vendors. I'm kinnda nervous about this part since I get nervous talking to people and selling things...like a business..yikes! But I know I will get the hang of it and it will all be ok.

I love it so far except that now I get home after Heath. It was nice before I started working to have dinner pretty much ready by the time he got home. Now I'll have to get started later but oh well I guess.

That's all for now

Good Ole Married Life

Well I LOVE it !!! I had so much fun at the rehearsal and wedding and everything was just perfect. It was sooo good to see so many of my friends that I haven't seen in a while. I miss them so much already :(

Me and Heath are doing great!! We had a blast on the honeymoon and loved Napa Valley and San Francisco! Everything was so pretty and we saw lots of cool places. The food was awesome too! We moved into our apartment and already have everything all settled and in place. Well...everything but hanging some things on the wall. We usually wait until around 10 when we decide to hang stuff and it made our neighbor above us pretty mad last night haha. When I was unpacking I was overwhelmed by the love and generosity that everyone has shown us. We were so well taken care of and we were blessed with such nice things.

I LOVE being married and we are doing so good. It seems so normal to be married and it's hard for me to remember not being with each other all the time. I picked a winner :)

Still no job for me but that's because I haven't started looking yet. Heath told me he wanted me to get everything in order at the house so that's what I've been doing. I have to tell you I LOVE IT!! But I know this won't last much longer so I'm starting to look today. I'm a little confused about what exactly I want to do. I love event planning and really wanted to get into that field but I really don't like having to work during the week AND weekends which is what happens with event planners. I think right now I'm looking for any 8-5 M-F job until I really decide what I want to do. SO...If anyone hears about anything pass it my way.

Well all's well here and I hope everything is going good with y'all!!
Love you
~~kbf :)

    So glad to hear that you are loving married life!! You are such a wonderful couple. So sad we had to miss your blessed day but hope that we will get to see you guys again, before too much time passes. Good luck with hanging stuff on the walls. We still have stuff in boxes and not a thing on the walls.:-P So, when you figure yours out and want to come and do ours....haha! Love you and miss you!

So ready for Ever Ever After

Well ladies and gents in just 3 days I will become Mrs. Heath Ford!!! After almost 8 long years of dating we get to be man and wife. The 2 of us are so so so excited and ready. I tried my best to get all of my wedding things done before this last week and I have succeeded! The past few days have been wonderful! I got to read, lay out in the pool,. watch movies, and spend time with friends and family. I had no idea how many of the "little" things there would be to take care of. Man do they take up a lot of your time and energy. I still loved the planning process but am so glad to be done with it and so excited to see the finished product.

I love wedding because I always think it is so neat to see all the ways the bride brings he own creativity to make her day just like she imagined. I thought long and hard about how I wanted things but the closer it got the more excited I got about being married and the less I cared about the planning...but that's how it should be right??

Me and Heath have had so much fun together this summer and especially here lately. It has been a really long time since we got to spend this much time together since he was always so busy with architecture while we were in school. I have felt so blessed to have my best friend back. We are really goofy together and have learned what each other will do next over the past 8 years. I can only imagine how much this will change and after we get married. I found all of the old notes and things that Heath had written me during high school and I loved reading them. They were so silly and hilarious they brought a big smile to my face. I showed them to him and he told me he knew exactly what he was doing the whole time...hahah.

I am looking forward to seeing everyone and sharing in this special occasion with us, although all we keep hearing is that the wedding is such a blur you don't really remember anything. This kinnda makes me sad to think about since you put so much into it but this only goes to show that all the effort that we put in doesn't compare to the wonderful blessing that comes from the relationship that God created. The marriage is what we will remember! SO...just in case I don't get to speak with you on Friday or if I seem as if I'm struggling to take it all in I just want to say thank you from me and Heath ahead of time. You have all been such a blessing in our lives and taught us so much about living a Christian life as God intended. We love you all!!

Storybook endings fairy tales coming true...Ever Ever After!!!
~~kbb soon to be kbf

    I am so happy for you and Heath. You make a beautiful couple and will make an even more beautiful married couple. I wish, so badly, I could be there. I am truly sad about that. I will be thinking of you on your special day as I bring a new life into this world. Just know that you are very special to me and to Clay, we both think a lot of you and hope that the two of you will keep in touch with us as you begin your new journey in life. I pray God will bless you both, greatly. Love you!

    So happy that things have finally come together. All the stress over the past few months will be so worth it! And yes, the day will be a blur to some degree, but that's what pictures and videos are for. And it will be fun years from now to see which of you remembers certain things. We can't wait to see and hear all about it. Enjoy every minute! Hopefully this will only happen once in your lifetime, so make it count. Love you KB!

    have fun! and my sister told Will and I to write down all our memories soon after the wedding before we could forget stuff, so now all the moments are recorded to trigger our memories if we start forgetting stuff :)
