Wedding Decoration
Nested boxes (aqua)
If anyone's looking for gift boxes for centerpieces, DIY card boxes, or any other decoration, I located these boxes on "shrink bags and more"
Unfortunately, this particular color is out of stock. At this time, I am waiting for a reply to an emai regarding if the company will stock this color anytime soon. Happy Planning!

Inspiration Board
4rm Fall to Summer Love
One life adjustment indirectly affects other aspects of our lives. With this in mind, we made a transition from a fall wedding to a simmering hot summer wedding in Houston, Texas (chocolate wedding to a burst of blue). The board represents the cool and elegant look I am seeking for that special day. I am a little disappointed regarding my recent separation from my FH. Nonetheless, when that actual date arrives, I can definitely sing "Never could have made it without you"~Driel

Disappointment
Has anyone been disappointed lately? Well, I am back at the planning phase for my wedding. Several weeks ago, my FH was told that he would be leaving to serve overseas..... Well, he left for training on November 16 and will return December 23. Then, on Dec. 26 he will accompany me to Virginia. I am scheduled to meet with my psychology department to brainstorm my dissertation topic. Soon after that he will depart for duty on Jan. 5. The sad news, is that he will not return before our scheduled wedding date. Oh my goosh, my heart simply hurts with disappointment! With this in mind, we had to postpone the wedding until 2010... I love him with all my heart. The only thing that will keep us sustain within this relationship, is the relationship we have with Christ. It will not be an easy transition for us, but staying focus on the Word of God will keep us focused and waiting to join as husband and wife. I look at our transition as a test of faith!

Inspiration Board
My Very First Board!!
i am very excited about creating my first inspiration board. The monogram "E" repesents my soon2b new name-English. Yes, those fall colors represent my earthtone personality. Guys, i do admit creating my daily blog serves as a stress relief. Through all the woes of life, the exhausted energy of being a single mother, and the stress i am feeling from my doctoral program, I need something to relax my mind.
If you do not have photoshop, here's a website that will allow you to create one free inspiration board: https://www.easyinspirationboards.com/contentpage.asp?ContentID=34 |

Not Wedding Stuff
Hurricane Gustav
Well, if you don't know by now our Gulf Coast states are waiting to see the effect of Hurricane Gustav. it's only been 3 years since the tragic event of Hurrican Katrina. How many of our brides2b community will be affected by this present hurricane?
Here's an inspiration poem for encouragement: Look For Grace When the world has just gone crazy And all our minds are numb We have to still remember Think the Best Do not succumb When we see all the images Devastation, death, more grief We have to still remember Peace and Light The world's relief When our thoughts are inundated By the sadness of these days We have to still remember Look for Grace See better ways When there's horror all around us Don't get caught up in its shadow We need to still remember Picture Peace A new tomorrow ~author unknown |

Music
Ceremony/Reception
Here's our wedding music.... it's very difficult for me to chose my
entrance song...for right now, i think the song "Alwaysness" by Yolanda Adams will be the one! "You Are God alone" by Marvin Sapp is the song i would like to hear while we lighting our unity candles... |
