So, I know it has been awhile....I haven't been very good at keeping up with this blog and it is only the second time I have posted....BUT I have good reasons, excellent reasons actually.
First, everything wedding-related was put on hold over the last month so that I could study for my re-certification exam. As a physician assistant, we are required to re-certify every 5-6 years, and this is my fifth year. I decided to take it now so I wouldn't have to worry about it after the wedding. Well....it's DONE! Well, at least I hope it is done. I did the exam this past week, and should get my results back in the next 1-2 weeks, so assuming all went well, I should be good for another 5-6 years. And now back to the wedding!!!
YAY!!! This is the fun stuff! So, we have most of the big stuff decided. What is left....the DJ (one of the most important things) and getting a ride to the reception and to the airport afterwards. We still have to taste cakes and design flowers, but our vendors are picked. We still need to get invitations, and make final decisions on the linens. But overall, everything is coming together pretty nicely, and I couldn't be happier. I have the BEST parents in the entire world who have been handling things on that end, and Brian's mom was a HUGE help in getting a lot of the things we needed for the centerpieces. Brian's parents have gone with me to look over the dress and we have another fitting coming up....!
I know there are many of you who have been asking about the dress, but it is a surprise for the wedding...what fun would it be if you already knew what it looked like?! :) I am going to try and work on the blog some this week....actually get some pictures up and get this a little more organized so it is actually fun to look at and read! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!!

So this is blog.....
Hello everyone!
This is going to be my first experience with blogging....I realize that the title is a bit "futuristic"....I am not yet a Jorrey, but I felt as long as I was going to be starting a blog, I might as well use the name that will be there for the rest of my life, rather than the one that will be there for the next 7 months....
I have to say that I am quite excited about this whole blog thing, because it means that people are going to be reading about us because they want to, because they choose to visit our blog and see what is going on with us, not because they are forced to read our status updates on facebook.
For the next few months, this is probably going to be focusing on the wedding planning, although we may occasionally through in a few updates on other random happenings in our life. Right now, wedding planning is going great...we have the date, the time, the place(s),the food, the flowers, the photographer, and have picked out our cake person. We have already registered at one place (and even received a gift!) but still have a couple more places to put in our gift requests :). We are still working on invitations and a DJ, but have some leads and will hopefully get that done in the near future.
Right now, the wedding plans are on hold, because I am currently in the process of trying, and I stress the word TRYING, to study for my boards. I swear, six years went by way too fast....so now I am at that point where I must re-certify as a physician assistant. I technically can do this at any time in the next year, but choose to try and get it done now, so that I can then focus on the wedding and on our new life together.
You will probably rarely, if ever, see a post from Brian on here....it's just not his thing. But he's doing great....he started a new job last month at a new, and better, hospital. So far, he is enjoying it and seems to be much happier at the new place. The management in general is much better, and that is definitely a plus from his last position.
Well, I am out of things to say for now....hopefully I didn't bore you too much, and I look forward to sharing our wedding plans, and our life adventures, with you all!
