This time next week, I will be a married woman! Woo-hoo! I will no longer be EMC but EMF. Our engagement has just flown by. I cannot believe all the planning is about to come to an end. Everybody has been saying not to wish this time by as it will fly and they were right!
We are trying to button down the last few things and then we're going to the chapel and we're gonna get MARRIED! Lots of prayers that next Saturday is a beautiful day outside. Today was very rainy & chilly and all I could think of was our outside ceremony. What will be, will be, at the end of the day...I get to marry Charlie!
Counting the days until I get to put on my dress, feel like a princess and get to marry my best friend. Each day, I discover another reason why I love him! Well this is all for now...cannot even begin to say how happy I am thinking about next weekend and our big day.
Thank you all for the love and support you've given us. A lot has transpired in our lives these past few months and we are so excited to begin our newest journey as Mr. & Mrs.

Double Digits
We are finally in the double digits of the countdown until the wedding! I cannot even believe how quickly time has gone by. Each day we are seeing the grace of God as he's pulling us more and more together in love and strength as one. Last night was our pre-marital counseling and it has been really awesome to speak with a couple with such a strong faith base that's been married for 20+ years. You can just feel how much they respect, love and value each other. We are truly enjoying their mentoring!! Can't wait for more!
So going back to the strength part of us growing...we, as most of you know, have been down to one car since September. Well it just so happens that my car (Big Red) decided she was exhausted and died on Saturday! Bummer, huh? Darn those transmissions. Cars are such a necessary evil I tell you! Thankfully we had support from my Mom & Dad and my Aunt Cindy. We are very fortunate to have family that lives very close to us and were so willing to help us. They were VERY instrumental in helping us out with transporting us, helping us look for a car and of course telling us everything is going to work out. The silver lining in this is we were able to take on the challenge together and........buy a car! Woo-Hoo! It's an Acura MDX and for both of us it's just an amazing blessing. Yes, the new car is a girl too and she's named Black Beauty. LOL! I'm such a dork I know but my Dad thought of the name and I liked it. She's a pretty one.
Happy Thursday all and looking forward to seeing you in 99 days!!!

Check!
Yay, another item to check off!! The save-the-dates are out and it sounds like people have already starting getting them. This is becoming more and more real with each passing day. I have so many butterflies in my stomach, it's so exciting!!
In case you all didn't see, we put a hyperlink to our "wedding website" to the very right titled "wedding information". This is more to outline the details of the actual wedding versus my corny updates on life as we know it. There is certainly more to come as we need to figure out where we are registering besides for our honeymoon and accommodations for our out of town guests. For now, enjoy our stories and pictures.
I used to be the girl that thought you snapped your fingers and you were married. HA! I'm sure there are things we haven't even thought of to do. I know Mom, you are saying "where is your checklist?!?!". I really need to create one, as I'm currently going by the seat of my pants. I am so my Mother's daughter...list for grocery shopping, errands, tasks around the house, you name it! Thanks Mom!
So now that people are getting our postcards, the pressure is on to make a better effort at blogging. As I told my Aunt Theresa, I'm by no means a writer. Please let this serve as my disclaimer: I write like I talk, which for all you English majors out there, be gentle with my blogs. They are really just a stress reliever for me to get rambling thoughts off my brain in a fun way. Grammer-Schmammer!
Okay what's next??? Better get that list together!

New Year, New Chapter
It's snowing like crazy today! It's hard to be motivated to be productive when it's cold and darker out. Today is a movie and PJ day in my opinion! Charlie's thinking it's more of a nap kinda day, that sounds good too. So he's fast asleep while I procrastinate by writing a new post instead of inputting the rest of the addresses for the save-the-dates to the ongoing spreadsheet. Sigh....
I'm not sure about you all but this month is flying by already. My New Year's resolution this year is to slow down and really enjoy all the blessings coming my way. I'm not going to lie...I'm so excited I get to marry Charlie in only a few more months! Hurry up and be here already. I'm ready to be introduced as his wife and Mrs. Faulhaber. What a great year this is going to be. As I mentioned in my past post, Charlie got a new job and I'm thinking bigger and better things are on the horizon for us both. It's been awesome being able to go through challenges with the other by our side and no longer facing obstacles alone. I don't know what I did before him.
As for NYE (New Years Eve), we were able to hang out with my bestie/Maid-of-Honor and her boyfriend Geoff. Those kids are so crazy, I love them both! We had a blast and need to get on planning a trip to go out and visit them. All in due time...need to get everything in line for the wedding and then we'll take on another adventure to the East Coast.
Last little side note before I try to get back on task with the "to-do" list, we are creating a website strictly for wedding details as there wasn't really a way to breakout it all out on this blog. More to follow as I will try to create a hyperlink from this blog to the other website.
Enjoy the remaining hours to your weekend all!
