After we got engaged, the next few months were a whirlwind! We set the wedding date for August 29, only 19 weeks from our engagement. Chris was going to Iraq for 10 weeks that summer and we knew our time together before he left the country was limited. So we got busy!
In May...
I graduated with my Bachelor's of Science in Nursing
I moved to College Station into what would be 'our' place in August
we took a trip to Disneyworld with Leisha's family
In June...
had to say goodbye for 10 weeks. very sad day :(
took my NCLEX (and PASSED!) and started my first real job
(only pictures I have of 'work' are ones I sent Chris of me in my scrubs)
went wedding dress shopping and found the perfect one
sent out a ton of wedding invitations
we did a LOT of this while trying to plan a wedding being 7200 miles apart
I picked out wedding cake (with my parents' help!)
{just a side note...cake/icing tasting is AWESOME for this sweets lover!!}
In July...
Chris was a hot shot over in Iraq
I got to open lots of wedding presents! Usually Chris and I would iChat when we would get one in the mail and open it together
