Many of you may not know this but I started this blog two years ago under a different name, with the intention of it being a wedding planning blog. Things obviously changed and while I have a ton to be grateful for now, I can't help but think that today we would be coming back from our honeymoon. I would be Mrs. C. I would still be on a wedding high over our super fun outdoor wedding last Saturday, 11-5-11. It was the perfect date to me and I often prayed the weather would allow for us to be outdoors and as it turns out, the weather was perfect.
It's silly to dwell on this type of thing but being in blog world has introduced me to so many of you wonderful ladies, some of who have had gorgeous weddings recently or are getting married soon and it's a reminder that I would've been part of that Fall wedding club too. But I know the reasons why our wedding was postponed and I'm actually grateful we postponed it or else we'd be in a stressful situation right now. AND I'd be getting married 6 months pregnant. Not drinking at my own wedding? Um no. That was my entire reason for having a huge blow out. ha!
So now that the wedding date and honeymoon dates are behind us, it gives me the opportunity to have a new focus on what life is like NOW. And my life right now makes me ridiculously happy. We're still happily in love, we're buying a house and we get a baby girl soon. I do believe everything happens for a reason. (Maybe that reason was to give me a built in little flower girl since I could never decide on one? ;) I can also say I'm grateful that I got my perfect proposal back in 2009 and at least got to go through the craziness of wedding planning for a bit. But things are perfect as is and I know our wedding will come at a much better time!
P.S. If you're signed up for me and Ashlee's Fall swap, the package deadline has been pushed to Monday since the Post Office is closed for Veteran's Day. So don't stress, you still have time! :)

Everything always happens for a reason :-)
Isn't it funny how life works out? :-) You sure have a lot to look forward to! What an exciting time in your life.
It's amazing how one minute we think our life is heading in one direction and all of a sudden it U-Turns on us! I feel everything happens for a reason! You have so much to look forward too!
Awww, what a sweet post. You have such a great attitude and you don't take anything for granted. I love that about you!
Glad to see you are seeing the positive side of things! :) You're going to have an amazing wedding!!
Great post! Everything happens just the way it was meant to be...and when your wedding day arrives, it will be PERFECT!!
Longer engagement = more time for planning one awesome party!!
*hugs* I can relate. Matt and I have been engaged since May '10, and it's been a long wait.
That's great that you're optimistic about the situation. Now that the date is literally in the past, you can focus on now -- your growing family.

i truly believe things happen for a reason!
i am glad the swap was pushed back a bit...i blanked and was going to send it friday when i realized that is was veterans day and i couldn't!
Things do happen the way they are meant to.. I'm so happy you are seeing the bright side! :)
Yep, you have some AMAZING things happening right now of which to be thankful. <3
You're so positive! I know it's cheesy and everybody already said it, but I definitely things happen as they are meant to! I'm sure one day you'll look back and you and Ronnie will be able to say, "How perfect did it end up being that we didn't get married in Nov. '11? The time and way we ended up really doing it was so perfect..." :)
