African American Weddings

2011 is almost here! What are you looking forward to in the new year??!!

Im sooo happy that 2011 is right around the corner. I got annoyed when people kept on saying "oh your wedding is a long time away." Now I can tell them all to shove it!!! :) In two days I can say my wedding is "this year"!!! FINALLY! We have a 24 month engagement and to finally be down in the single digits is just fantastic.

So 3 things im looking forward to:
1)Applying to grad school
2) Becoming a wifey!! :)
3) Buying our first house together!!

2011 is gonna ROCK!!!

    I'm looking forward to:

    1.  Continue to grow together spiritually - as a family unit
    2.  Making it through next week while keeping everything in perspective (So what if they run out of food!  You should've RSVPed and not brought Pookie and Junior to the wedding when you were the only one invited! So what if the music isn't perfect!  So what if the weather isn't perfect!)
    3.  Focus on executing our "family plan" - a project we worked on during pre-marital counseling.
    4.  Finding a much more fulfilling job for both FI and myself
    5.  Hopefully get FI another vehicle that he actually feels comfortable driving (the green bomber's really on its last leg)
    6.  Pay off some small loans, credit cards, etc.
    7.  Pray that FI continually to successfully complete each semester so he can graduate someday!
