Going to the chapel (or Newburgh Church!)

So we have decided on a church! I'm pretty excited! It's exactly the type of church I had envisioned getting married in. It's an old white church with a white steeple, so full of history! It was built in 1848 and has ties to the Civil War, which could not be more perfect given me and Zach's love for history and his interest in the Civil War. It sets the theme for the rest of the wedding. I am envisioning a simple elegance with vintage colors (light green, dusty rose, and creams). The property this church sits on contains many other old building that had been moved to this one site. Me and Zach are pretty excited about it :) Wedding planning is really fun so far. Although, I admit I haven't done all that much with school and finals coming up. But I hope to have a reception venue picked within the next couple weeks. Zach and I have narrowed it down to two places, so just waiting to make that final decision :) It's been wonderful doing this stuff with him and also my mom. She is just as excited about all of this as I am. We love to plan and we love weddings. It's amazing how similar our tastes are! She is in love with the church almost as much as I am! I am just so happy about all of this! But as I've said before, I am so much more excited about after the wedding day, where me and Zach can just enjoy the everyday things together. We don't have to say goodbye for weeks at a time. (I know it could be much worse, but there's no one I would rather be with than him. It's like he brings color to my days, without him it's like my world is just black and white. I'm just ready for the long distance to be over!)

Fleeting Moments

Sometimes I wish I could make time stand still. Special moments always pass too quickly.
