Update

Well...I was scolded by my grandmother because she had to e-mail me instead of reading my blog for an update...haha! jk! My grandma doesn't scold...seeing as I'm her favorite...haha!
Anyways. As of two weeks ago we have a photographer booked. She is out of Cameron Wisconsin and I can't wait to work with her-her style is perfect for us. Andrew and I go for formal engagement pictures next Saturday at four.
Since Wednesday we have a caterer booked. (It seems that once you get one thing in place everything else just starts to fall there too.) Our photographer, Tammy, recommended a lady that has a small privately owned catering company called Judy's in the Country. As it turns out, she is from Turtle Lake which is twenty minutes from us. How convenient. Mom is going to call in our dessert list on Monday.
We also have a tent and tables and chairs lined up for us. I guess the next thing is to get poopers lined up too. Haha!
This week we are supposed to start planting pumpkins. I think Wednesday is the 120 day mark for them. We are going to get some flowers ordered as well.
Speaking of flowers, my mom and I went to the Minneapolis Mart last Monday and we ordered some things for the wedding there. We have decided to go with fake floral (it's SUPER cheap compared to real flowers) and yes, it is just as formal as real flowers, only I will be able to keep them forever, as will the girls if they are interested.
Today, my friend, and bridesmaid, is coming from Madison to go dress shopping. I had it worked out so that all of the girls but one would be able to go today and then the fourth one we had worked out to go tomorrow, but one of the other girls forgot the date and now is working today. So it will just me me and two of my girls today, me and two different girls tomorrow, and on Monday, my mom, Mrs. Nelson, Sammy Jo, myself, and possibly my fourth girl are going to get dresses...
As for a house, which is what my grandma was wondering about...well...Andrew and I put an offer on a house last Tuesday. Our realtor sent the proposal in without the pre-approval because she is really excited for us to buy a house. It turns out the bank/lender wants us to re-word the verbage on the offer, which isn't a big deal at all and it doesn't change anything. We got the pre-approval yesterday, and when I talked to Lisa, our realtor, she sounded really optimistic and made it sound like we have a house. The bank isn't turning our offer down-they just want things to sound different. In case you are wondering why I keep saying bank, the house is a forclosure so we are not working with real people so to speak, we are just working with a lender that just wants to get the house sold to people that they won't lose money from. So...at this point, we are excited to be thinking that we have an accepted offer for the most part, but we will see what unfolds. I really belive that this is the house that God has had in store for us. I don't think we would have been able to put an offer in otherwise. So keep it in prayer!
And with that...that is basically all I know...I will probably post some pictures from today later when we get home.
Thanks All!
