Ryan and I filled out the applications to get our passports this past week. It's a good feeling to have that done; now we just need to go get our pictures taken for them. We are still debating on when and where to go for our honeymoon. We are thinking next fall sometime; it surprised me when Ryan agreed to go during Husker football season, but I really think it will be the best time. We were thinking St. Lucia and now Ryan has brought up Turks and Caicos. Really anywhere with warm weather, beaches and umbrella drinks is fine with me!

We also got our first gifts this past week. I had some family in town for the Kansas game this past weekend, and since they live out of state, they won't make it to any of my showers so they were thoughtful enough to bring us gifts! We got a beautiful crystal 8x10 picture frame that will be perfect for one of our favorite pictures from our wedding day. We also got gorgeous crystal champagne flutes that we will use at the reception, as well as a cake serving set that is engraved with our names and wedding date.

Receiving that gift made me realize how fast the wedding is approaching! I can't believe next week is Thanksgiving already, and then before you know it Christmas will be here, and then after the first of the year I'm sure I'll start having showers, then the bachelorette party (I'm so looking forward to that special time with my closest friends) and then the big day!

I don't at all feel stressed about what we have left to do for the wedding. We have been very proactive about booking and having all of our bases covered. We have been able to pay off some things also; it will be nice to not have such a large chunk of change due right before the wedding. I am so lucky to have a fiancé that has helped me out so much with the process,  is organized and cares about the wedding as much as I do! It sure has helped a lot!
