huge milestone....

In my frenzy to try to check items off my to-do list, I realized I failed to let everyone know that our wedding party is complete!

Bridal Party:

Maid of Honor:
My sister, Stephanie.

Bridsemaid:
My best friend from growing up, Dana.

Groom's Party:

Best Man:
Zack's brother, Ben.

Groomsmen:
2 of Zack's best friends from growing up and soccer, Chris and Kevin.

One more thing I can cross off my checklist.

wow- the countdown!

I can't believe we're under 100 days away from our wedding day. Time is flying by and the tasks are piling up but I can't wait for us to start our lives together.

We're looking forward to sharing this day with our family and close friends.

2 more steps....

just a quick update:

1) church counseling is complete. yeah! now we're on to planning the ceremony in the coming months.

2) wedding party is complete!
- Becky's side: MOH (my sister, Stephanie)/Bridesmaid (my best friend froom growing up, Dana). I'm honored they're going to be a major part of our special day
- Zack's side: Best Man (Zack's brother, Ben)/Groomsmen (Chris and Kevin- Zack's friends from soccer and Jesuit High School).

cake, cake and more cake?

This past Saturday I got to spend some quality time with Zack and we actually did something related to the wedding: cake tasting!

We tasted at 2 places in Beaverton- the typical Beaverton Bakery and the Dessert Tray. The Dessert Tray gave us a slice of each that we wanted to try. We were respectful of their kindness and did not taste as many as I would have liked.... we'll save those other ones for next time.

No decisions so far- I think we both realized we're not big into cake. There are so many options though, so it may be that it's all a little overwhelming too. Hopefully we'll have a decision by the end of the month. We're only 4 months away from our wedding- time is flying by!

Other than that, we spent some quality time Saturday afternoon, relaxing on the deck in the sun, margaritas in hand. Thanks Zack. Hopefully we will have more days like this as the weather gets better.

and sorry for the lack of pics. i'm trying to get better.

Yeah, we passed!

Zack and I are happy to inform you that we received our certificate of completion for our couples' retreat this weekend. We are glad to check yet another item off the to-do-list.

All the Little Things

A picture from last Xmas for those of you who complain that I need more pics. :)

I'm now realizing how many details make up a wedding! Now that the major items are taken care of, I have started making a to-do list for all the smaller items. So far I have 22 items on my new list! I'm definitely starting to pay more attention to time.

To-do this week (all church related):

-order baptismal certificates for both of us for OLL requirements
-church couples counseling Friday morning
-church couples retreat Friday and Saturday

A Break From Planning

This past weekend we enjoyed the break from wedding planning. We met both sets of parents up at the winery to check out the site again. It was a great reason to enjoy the sun and some WINE on a beautiful day.

I can't wait for September, when the vines are full of grapes!
