Almost Done

The last of the arrangements have been made and I can breath a little easier! Thank God! I was beginning to lose my sanity. Minor details need to be taken care of now and it will be a piece of cake to accomplish. This weekend we traveled to Mission to see my beautiful Aunt Lisa, she and my Aunt Cindy, are in charge of my cake. So, I have this obsession with Italian Cream Cakes...she brought me one that was to die for! Needless to say we ordered it. I wanted something traditional looking but contemporary. I decided on the simple 4 tier cake, no columns but on top of each other with a simple design. I want to place stargazers on it too. They are my other obsession!  This weekend all my girlfriends that are in the Wedding Party will be flying down for my first Bridal Shower thrown my Great-Aunt Helen and her lovely daughters. I am very grateful for her generosity and all the help she has given my Mother and I during this stressful time. I am so very excited! I have not seen my girlfriends in months and it is going to be awesome seeing them and hanging out with them again. I will also be around numerous friends and family. I am so blessed.

Busy Bride

I'm back! Sorry for the delay again, time is flying by and leading me into nervousness that is driving me crazy! Time has really flown by and I feel if I blink August 4^th will be here already. I have been a busy bride these past couple of weeks. I have accomplished so much with the help of my wonderful mother. All I have left is to pick out a tasty cake. Picking out the formal wear was a feat of its own. My brother and fiancé are extremely silly and it was a task to get them to pick out a tux that was suitable for the Wedding. After rolled eyes and some pleading they picked one out. It is nice but not exactly what I wanted. Oh well, I guess I can't have everything I want, well yes I can but I let that one go haha! We found a wonderful seamstress here in Harlingen….she is the absolute best! She makes Cotillion, Algodon, Wedding dresses, etc. you name it….she does it! I may add that she does it exquisitely. She is awesome! At the end of the month, (April 29^th to be precise) will be a year that Steven and I have been engaged! I swear it has flown by. In less than 4 months I will be a bride and a wife. WOW! When I said "Yes" I knew that I would one day be Steven's wife but now it is truly sinking in and honestly a little scary. I won't be Liz Banda anymore I will be Elizabeth Ritter…an adult. Sometimes I wish I was still a little kid with no worries in the world. I know that my life with Steven is going to be an adventure full of wonderful surprises but, it is always a little scary when you start a new chapter in your life. I think, who is going to take care of me, who is going to pay for me, or when I get sick again or who is going to feed me…my parents do that but now Steven and I are a family. YIKES haha! Oh no, I have to do it! I don't want you to think I am a baby. I can take care of myself. I did it in college, I am capable but I always knew Mommy and Daddy were there in the backburner ready to catch me if I fell. I know it is just jitters and when I say "I do" and look into Steven's beautiful blue eyes I will know that I am home again.
