As we surpassed the 200 day mark, it seems as if the days are now in fast-forward motion! For people who are like me and put it into a month perspective, that's close to 6 months friends! HOLY MOLY! Six months and Kevin and I will be married! Most days, it can't get here soon enough! But, as we have watched the days countdown from 300 to 196, I know it will be here before we know it!
My dress and veil have both come in and they are beautiful! I never fathomed I could love a dress this much, but I do! As my old roommate would put it, "It's very Josie!" Kevin doesn't want to know anything about the dress, so it's been a challenge not giving details away!
Our engagement pictures are next week! Kevin and I have been stoked about our photographer since day one, and we get to fully engage in his photograpy next week! We will be heading down to Josh's territory in Oklahoma City for the shoot. Since he knows the "good spots," we will gladly make that trip! We can't wait to see the final results!
Be on the lookout for save-the-dates!
Blessings to all!

So we've now officially met with Josh last weekend. We zipped down to OKC and chatted over coffee. Super chill.
Jos did call it. Josh and I both "geeked out" for about 20 minutes upon our first meeting. Macs, cameras, Macs, Macs, cameras...etc...
I have to tell anyone reading this blog that is getting married...I've not even had Josh take one picture of us and I'd tell you to book him right now. He was very humble and reflexive about his progression as a photographer, as well as his approach to this upcoming wedding season versus last year. We were already sold, but that solidified our "right choice" mentality even further.
And to our surprise he mentioned meeting us in
his blog. He seemed to walk away with the same feeling about progression as we did. Interesting.
Save the dates are nearly finished. Yeah...you only wish we would show you a sneak peak....muahahahahah
They're coming out soon. They will go to the printer in the next week or two and should be mailed shortly after that. Yeah, we're on top of things.
Until we meet again,
Kevin

Inevitably, planning is starting to plateau.
We had a great time in KC last weekend. It was my first chance to meet some of the Miller cousins. What a blast.
Jos & I had planned on doing some tux hunting while in KC, but lunch at a mongolian barbeque will easy change your mind on that one. ;)
So after spending the day wandering around Oak Park Mall with the cousins; Jos & I headed over to the Apple Store (OF COURSE!) to do a little drooling....While we were in the area we had a flash of brilliance and decided to register at Crate & Barrel. I know, I know...if only we could register at the Apple Store.
It's funny how you go through a few different stages when registering for the first time.
1. Nervousness about finding an associate to help up set up the registry.
2. Overwhelming anxiety when they hand you the gun and say, "Have at it!"
3. Apprehension towards scanning anything over the "econo" pricing.
4. Sheer whimsy after you scan a $3,000 orange leather chair!
5. A grounded reality resumes and you move on to cups.
6. Sadness...as you return the scanner/gun/lightsaber.
7. Anticipation towards the arrival of the next registry experience!
It really was a blast and honestly the folks at C&B couldn't have been any more helpful.
Oh yeah...they handed the gun to me straight away.....guess they figured that's the only fun part for the groom. Boy, they sure don't know me. Haha. Here are a few more shots from the day.
UPCOMING:
Now are efforts are focused on finalizing the guest list and readying the "Save the dates." You'll just have to wait and see about how those will turn out! Muahahahah

The dress has been ordered and I am elated! Now it's time to work on getting all my bridesmaids togther to try on the dress I have my eye on for them. Easier said than done, since they are spread out between Kansas and Oklahoma!
The Ferstl basement has become the haven for all the wedding decoration items! Both our parenst have been great help at giving us ideas! I can't thank our parents enough for all they have done to help thus far!
All in all, the planning is going well. We both are very organized people, so it doesn't surprise me that we are on top of the planning.
Ok...off to research tux places in Kansas City!

The hunt is over.
We have officially found the photographer that will be shooting our wedding!
Josh McCullock
Check him out
here. I personally have not had a chance to chat with him, but Jos chatted him on the phone today and was totally sold on his personality and approach towards shooting our wedding. So after a bit of a scare with the couple booking Ryan, we stumbled upon Josh while actually contacting another photographer. But boy did we sure hit the lottery. He hits and exceeds all of our "must haves" for a wedding photographer.....plus a few more....
1. He shoots Nikon. Check
2. His workspace is littered with signs of the Mac-obsessed. Check.
3. Plus his email ended with @mac.com. Check
We also had our first meeting with a potential company to do our flowers. This was the one area in which neither of us had any CONCRETE ideas on just what we wanted. The meeting went well, however, we're going to check out a few more places. More on that one later.
It's about time for the latest episode of "The Office" to start! So I'm out.
