9 days to go...Weather Update & Work Shower

9 days to go and we are almost ready to jump in the car and drive!

Last night tornadoes were all over Dallas. All I could think of was my family and hope they were ok. One even touched down across the street from my grandma's high rise. Luckily my aunt was there to help her move to safety. I'm so thankful that no one was hurt! I hope Hermine moves along and there is a lot less rain.

Today our co-workers thru us a lovely wedding shower. It was very thoughtful and we feel honored they put so much effort into making us feel special. Everyone pitched in and gave us a beautiful card and gift certificate to Bed, Bath & Beyond! We also received a set of champagne flutes, and flutes for our toast at the wedding, a set of wine glasses, a gift card to Target (Thanks Jason W.)and even a trip contribution to our wedding (Thank you so much Jarrian James).

We also had food (special thanks to the managers Teresa Rogers & Cindy McMillan) and a beautiful wedding cake designed to look like a present (Thank you Christine Payne) from Meringue Bakery. So yummy. She was suppose to order a standard cake, but splurged for the wedding flavor for us. Seriously the sweetest person we know! <3>

What a wonderful way to start our afternoon, it has put us in such an amazing mood.

Special thanks also needs to be sent to Aunt Carol & Uncle Ed Heinrich for the lovely cooking set we received yesterday!! And to Aunt Marcelline & Uncle Gaylord for the check they sent. We couldn't be more excited and thankful for these gifts. Please look forward to a special note in your mailboxes soon.

MOOD: BEYOND THANKFUL, SO HAPPY and SO IN LOVE!

See you all in 9...8.. 7...

Keep the countdown going!

Love,

Connie & Justin

10 days to go....What is love?

Wow, weather in Dallas has been a bit on the wet side. Hermine has brought us some much needed rain; on the downside lots of flooding and bad drivers. But what else should we expect...it is Texas after all!

As I sit here at my desk pondering a conversation with a co-worker, I can't help but think about her question...What is love to you? This instantly made me think of the classic newspaper comic strips, Love is...

What is love to you?

To me:

Love is knowing when not to let that special person get away.

Love is never going to bed angry

Love is always telling each other you love one another before you leave

Love is being patient, kind and understanding..even if things aren't going "your way"

Love is looking back and realizing how far our relationship & love has grown for each other

Love is accepting every flaw without notice

Love is knowing you can count on each other

Love is not worrying about time when you are together

Now, please comment on this post and let us know what love is to you?

I leave you with a few Love is... comics! Enjoy!!

Love is

the reason we are here on earth!

Love is

walking the dog together

Love is

two hearts beating as one!

11 days to go!

Only 11 more days to go...

We hope everyone had a wonderful labor day and extended weekend. While we had three days off work, it seems like the weekend flew by us. Friday night was the first time in awhile that Justin and I were able to spend alone. We went out to eat and had a nice relaxing evening in afterwards, much needed.

Saturday was so much fun! I took all my DIY crafts to my grandma's and we had a craft party to help me finish up some items for the wedding. It was a major fun and a great success. With the assistance of my wonderful mother, Franny, Grandma Gonzalez, JoAnne, Vanessa, Asaia, Arnetha & Breeya; we were able to knock out the favors, programs, treat bags and some of my photo booth art! I can't thank you all enough for dedicating a few hours of your time to help out! It's much appreciated.

We were so happy that we were able to see Justin's uncle Steve before he left Texas. We had a wonderful breakfast at JoAnne's on Sunday morning. The eggs, ham and cheese mix was so yummy. I've been thinking about it every morning since....

Monday was busy day too, we started packing and making sure the house was clean. Checking off our list as we go!

The days keep trickling past us, as we grow closer to the wedding. We are counting down the days, hours, minutes and seconds til we are out of here!

Colorado weather is looking great. We are looking at a high of 80 and evening lows about 47! So be sure to dress accordingly. I'll be updating the blog and wedding website daily for the next few days to alert everyone of any weather changes.

XOXOXO

Connie & Justin
