I'm so blessed! Praise God!

I am so thankful for my MOH (my sister) and my mother! They have been an amazing help through this whole process. Though my parents were in no way able to provide and help financially for the wedding, my mom is still so involved and always coming up with great ideas.

We are getting married in October in a beautiful skylight room and I originally wanted to do lanterns with candles in them for centerpieces but it was going to be really expensive to put together etc. Instead we planned to go with centerpieces from our florist with 3 different height pillar cylindars with water and floating candles. This was going to cost around $85-100 per table. And we are guestimating around 20 tables.... Thats A LOT of money.

Well, yesterday my mom called me and told me that Lowes (the home improvement store) is selling beautiful lanterns for only $8 each. I googled candles wholesale and I can get more than enough for only $20. This means that I can do all 20 tables for $200 or so. We will be saving around $600-800 AND I get the centerpieces that I really wanted from the start!!

I'm so thankful for the financial blessing and for my mom for always thinking of me!

Just figured I'd share. What are you girls thankful for today?

    That's wonderful! I'm so happy that you'll be able to get what you want!

    I'm thankful for being able to go work at youth camp this year. It will be such a blessing to work the little ones. I'm really excited!

    He always does!!  Maybe not like WE think He should or on our time table but He always does!!  Yay for Martin!!

    I'm blessed in general lol.  We're almost done building the house that my grandpa basically paid for (before he died he left everyone bonds, I saved mine for a house) and Clint's Papa has built a lot of it (with help from FIL and Clint).  I'm so blessed!!

    Those centerpieces will be beautiful!!

    Monica - awesome praise for Martin!!

    My blessings are that (hopefully) next week I'll be able to walk again without crutches and hopefully I'll be able to drive and shower.  I've been taking baths but I really miss the shower!  And I go on vacation next Saturday so only one more week of work and then 10 days off!!

    Genao- your venue is beautiful! Your wedding will be amazing. 

    Monica- congrats to Martin! That is wonderful news! 

    I am blessed in so many ways. Today I am feeling especially thankful for FI. He has been so supportive and understanding lately because he knows I am a bit stressed trying to get lots done for the wedding. He has offered to help in any way he can. He is such a blessing and I feel so honored to become his wife soon!
