One year ago today...

One year ago today Joe got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. Although he knew before he even asked that I would say yes, it was the easiest decision of my life.

If you want to read about the Proposal, you can do so here. But here we are, a year later and coming up on four months before our big day! It's crazy how far we've come in planning but at the same time how much we have left to do! In all honesty, I can't wait to share in this special day with our friends and family. However, I'm more excited to marry my best friend and take off on our honeymoon where we can relax, no more wedding planning and simply enjoy being newlyweds. Ahhh... What ever are we going to do when all this planning is done?! :)

Over the weekend Joe and I went in to look for our wedding bands and it was a lot harder than I thought it was going to be but we ended up finding perfect ones. Joe isn't a ring guy so seeing a ring on his finger was a little weird but he found one that is very simple and one he'll like to wear. I kept going back between a plain white gold band (which I liked more than I thought I would) and one with a few diamonds. Because I'm not going to sauter them together I ended up going with this one...

I chose this band because if I decide to wear just my band it will have a little "something special" to it and my engagement ring looks great with this band. Yippe!!

One year ago today I said yes and in 131 days we get to become Mr. and Mrs. Joe Shelerud!

Loving this life....
