I will become Mrs. John Flaiz on September 22, 2012!!! Wow that sounds weird...no worries I still expect everyone to call me Terp lol. The meeting with our priest went great, we talked about all the details of what to expect that day and were given some information to help us plan our big day. Yesterday I signed the contract for our reception hall so we are all reserved at both places!! I know we have plenty of time, but we wanted to get the two biggest things done quickly so we could get the date we wanted. We (meaning I) am going to take the next few weeks to enjoy all the good things that are going on in my busy life and then I will get back to wedding planning, Next on the list is photographer, reception music and our attendants...only 424 days to go haha!!
Look at me making two posts in a week...I am trying to do better at this :-) Now back to my book because I am getting behind on that New Year's goal.

The Planning Begins...
I really need to work on posting more often so my posts are so long and full of so much information! First off the new job, well plans have changed and I will be staying at Mercantile. A stupid mistake from my past made the Salvation Army withdraw their offer for the position. Good news though, Mercantile has given me a promotion and an excellent raise. I am now the Marketing Project Manager for the bank. Most of the projects that we do are now my responsibility and my boss is to help with any problems I have and she also does the compliance check and approval.
June 11th I ran my second 5k, but did not improve my time like I wanted too. I guess that's what happens when you go from running 4 days a week to once a month. I really slacked off after I ran my first one, but I am determined to get back into it and improve my time at my next race. I think I will run the 5k Turkey Run on Thanksgiving Day?
And now onto the BIGGEST news...Flaiz and I became engaged on June 25, 2011!!!! We are so excited and I can't wait to plan our big day, but in the mean time we've been busy telling all our friends and family. Our favorite part is seeing the reaction on their faces or hearing it in their voices. Our dream date is 9/22/12, exactly 3 1/2 years after we started dating. We have our first meeting with the priest tomorrow night...how exciting! I've also been calling reception halls, getting pricing information so we can pick one. Those are our two biggest concerns right now so we can get our date set and after that we'll worry about the other details later. We've also been discussing our attendants. What a hard decision! My number I have always wanted was five, but as of now we are up to seven. Flaiz has a lot of close friends as do I and we don't want to leave anyone out of it. We think we can get it down to six if I ask one of my girls to do us another huge favor and he has one of his be an usher. So many decisions, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but I also want those that mean the most to me to be up there with me. What do you do if you have a friend that you don't feel as close to anymore or have been hurt by, but you feel you would hurt their feelings by not asking them? We've got our list made now we just need to make the final decisions. We are not going to ask anyone officially until this fall so we have some time to thing about it. We'll see how things go up until that point.
