So after some careful consideration- Sam and I have decided to push back the wedding a year. There are several reasons but the driving factor was that I am applying for grad school at A&M. The program I'm looking at is 18 months long and starts in the Spring of 2011. If I get in- I will finish school and be able to look for a job wherever Sam is stationed after I graduate in May of 2012.
We would actually get to be newlyweds that live TOGETHER. No more living on separate continents!!!
I think this makes the most sense in the long run and although I'm not entirely happy that its going to be a bit longer until I get to become Mrs. Morris- waiting will make the whole process less stressful on us and our families.
Also Sam gets to come home for Christmas! So I'm looking forward to that AND actually getting to take engagement pictures!!
Oh, and in case you were wondering- we are thinking May 25th, 2012 for the date. Its long enough after graduation but not too close to Sam's birthday and not so late that it will be too hot outside for the ceremony.
Until next time : )

Bridal Extravaganza
So today was the Austin Bridal Extravaganza! My mom, Keeley and I went and walked around looking at the hundreds of booths they had. It was a little overwhelming but we got a few good deals! The first was that we got a deal on tuxes from Al's- we get Sam's tux free and the other men in our party get $40 off their rentals! We also signed up to go see this resort and we're supposed to get a free weekend vacation- we'll see how that goes... We also got a lot of information on several different types of vendors.
We ran into a few entertainment companies (like DJs) and there were 2 I really liked and their prices aren't too bad- so that looks promising! We talked to a lot of photographers too and now I'm even more confused about that than before. My problem is that I want a photographer who's style I really like but i'm not sure how much I should spend on photography because i'm not 100% sure how much money I'm working with. Its a little frustrating- especially because this is almost more important to me than the dress ; )
We also got to sample a lot of cakes and I am in LOVE with Krissy's Cakes- there was a pink champagne cake that was like heaven in my mouth! There were a lot of other really tasty ones too but that was by far my favorite!
Another big thing we looked at was photobooths- I REALLY want one of these and we found a couple that are more cost effective than the ones we'd originally been looking at so I'm crossing my fingerst that we can make that happen! lol
Overall it was a lot of fun and I just got a call that I won some cookware for this drawing I entered. So I will be going to get that in a few days! Now I really need to focus on getting my aesthetic down and figuring out what kind of look we want to go with- it just really hard because there are so many options and things I like! I feel like I have enough ideas for at least 3 different weddings-- I need help... : )
