I got some very welcome news this week that Jerad should *hopefully* be able to head back to NE soon - possibly even at the end of this week (he's been harvesting wheat in California since right after Memorial Day). Of course, I'm over the moon about getting to see him and spend time with him, but I'm also pretty excited at the thought that he can help with some more planning! The majority of my time has been spent at work lately, so I could really put him to work using his phone skills to get things lined up with vendors.
The biggest priority on my mind at the moment is choosing our photographer. We have our options narrowed down, but we haven't made any contacts beyond that. I'd love to find time for an engagement shoot, too, before harvest starts back up for Jerad here, and I have a feeling he'd love a shoot like this...
We also need to get in some time with the priest that is helping us complete our marriage prep. We knew schedules could be an issue over the summer (and possibly right up to December) with Jerad's unpredictable work schedule. We were able to meet with the priest in Kearney once before Jerad left and completed our pre-marriage inventory assessment, so we at least have a start on things.
Between Jerad heading back and his mom making a trip in a couple of weeks, I have a feeling that we'll probably make some good headway in all of our plans by the end of the month.
164 days to go!
