I just visited the Christian board thanks to Rhoyal's post to you. lol. And I saw your post to me:
I'm so late, but hopefully you will revisit this thread.
I enjoyed learning more about you. We both post on another board together, but this goes to show that we can always get to know each other better. I didn't know that your FI was a minister. Awesome! I am a PK (preacher's kid) so from talks with my mom, I know that there are a unique set of challenges, but she has shared many times that it is so rewarding knowing that she is married to a true man of God and journeying with him as he works to bring people closer. Hang in there!
I love your colors...my dad's god-mother has offered to throw a shower, but closer to time, she'd like to know if there are any special requests. Knowing her, she will plan a kitchen or recipe shower so my one request is that she use aqua and red...it would give that type of shower a 50's housewife type of feel.
If she never asks, I plan to throw a shower with those colors and that theme for the next close friend or family member of mine that gets engaged. Can you tell that I love your colors?
Kudos to paying for things in cash also! That is our plan also and we really hope to stick to it although it is so tempting to "swipe it" sometimes!
IN REPLY:
Yes maam, he's a minister. I didn't sign up for Knottie of the Day over on this board because I wanted to wait for my "official" proposal since one of the questions is about the proposal. So, there's a lot of missing Knottie info on me. lol. I didn't know you were a PK. God bless you! I know that in church, all eyes are always on the pastor/preacher and his family. So, I know that can be rough!
I love love love red and aqua, too. Everytime I'd say it to someone, though, they really couldn't grasp it. Have you seen the inspiration boards for it on Perfect Pallette {sp?}? I see you are going to use red and aqua for ANYTHING! lol. We decided on different colors, though, as I'm sure you know.
THOU SHALT NOT SWIPE! lol. That should be everyone on this board's 11th Commandment! We actually still haven't put our initial deposit at the venue because we want to do it in cash. {And the lady at the venue knows we'll be making that payment next month.} So, we're anti-swipe! {We're anti-swipe for everything in life these days!}
