We're legal!

We made a little trip to the courthouse last night.


One step closer - hooray!

Nostalgia

Allison here . . .

Here are a couple of really precious photos .... both sets of photos are of my grandparents on their wedding days - first up are Grandma Geri and Grandpa Sid (my mom's parents). I spent many of my young years tearing up their house in Gretna...

 


And here are my Grandma Lois and Grandpa Popo (Neil) - (my dad's parents, they live in Onawa, IA). I called him Popo when I was little and I guess it just stuck :)




The crazy thing is it made me think . . . someday I'll be showing my wedding pictures to MY grandkids. Crazy to think about . . .

So far . . . so good . . .

Hello – this is Allison, bride-to-be! So, this is my first entry. I’ve never kept a blog about anything, so we’ll see how this goes. I guess my thought was, why not blog about my wedding? It’s all I think/talk about anyway! This will be the perfect outlet for me to share anything wedding related, and really anything else that’s going on in our lives right now. And I look forward to posting lots and lots of fun photos...so stay tuned!

First, I have to share with you the coolest hanger I’ve ever seen. I got this in the mail last week from etsy.com.


So this brings up an interesting point – my name is going to be “Allison Bennett.” That has a nice ring to it, eh? I definitely need to start practicing my signature.


I leave you for now with a photo that describes my life right now – let’s just say it’s an organized mess (here I’m preparing our save the dates).
