Cake Walk

So I can't/haven't/won't decide what kind of cake(s) to do for the wedding! My mom is making them and she's spending the week before the wedding up at the farm with me so the nice thing is, I have some time to decide....but I'll share a few images with my fan base (of 6) and see if anyone has any thoughts/suggestions. Enjoy.

This one "takes the cake" - maybe not so outdoorsy?
But repetition is the way to my heart. Especially clever repetition.

Like I said...repetition is the way to my heart...
I'm thinking 3-4 totally different shape/heights but all really simple.

Simple - also the way to my heart.
And Justin actually said he liked this one instead of saying
those three little, magical words, "I don't ca
re."

This is a piece of ART...and probably not fair to spring on my mom.
Plus I think I like the repetition better but....howwww bee-utiful!



IS IT MARCH YET!?

The things you learn.

So Justin and I started pre-marital counseling and going into it, it was just another thing to check off of our to-do list...but now that we are immersed in it, it has surely become my favorite part of getting married. We are getting to know a side of eachother that we knew was there, just hadn't explored together.

I think the reason I even want to write this down is to document one important thing we've both learned and hope to cling tightly to: try to love your spouse as God loved them.

Right now, our love for each other is so overwhelming and consuming; I can't imagine not loving him with all of my heart. But as we've learned, we know there will be seasons of change and we want to prepare ourselves to love each other with God's support, not just our own.

I highly recommend pre-marital, marital, therapy...any kind of counseling. I love knowing there's another couple in the world and they have a vested interest in our lives together.

Anyway, there's my soap box for the day.
