Wedding Planning Updates!

My life could easily be summarized in one word these days. Weddings. Photographing weddings, editing weddings, designing wedding albums, conducting new client wedding consultations, creating sample albums…and on top of all that, planning MY OWN wedding!!! PHEW! Putting together plans for Grant and I’s wedding has been SO fun. Despite the couple-week set back when Grant was in the hospital and recovering from surgery, I’d say we’re doing pretty well for planning a wedding in 3 months! In the midst of planning, I’ve rediscovered my love for anything artistic: creating invitations, designing centerpiece ideas, making jewelry, cakepops….and the list goes on! I’m loving this! I’m having such fun that I thought I’d share with you some of my design inspiration. =) We are getting married at Summerset Winery outdoors, so we’re doing a rustic/country-ish theme. Here are some bits of my decorations:

And my invitations! These took forever to put together, but were so fun!!
And lastly, for an update on my honey… Grant is doing really well! Thank you to all who prayed for him! After the 2nd week post-surgery he started improving a ton. His pain lessened a lot and he began physical therapy, which mainly works to stretch his muscles. After his 2nd physical therapy appointment, his grip strength in his left arm improved by 20 pounds, and after doing the stretches, he is at 80% range of motion…which is what the end goal was! Amazing! I have full confidence that he will be back to 100% someday! The main concern and frustration continues to be the numbness in his hand and arm, since his nerves were damaged. We’re praying that this comes back quickly! It will be at least 6 months until his bones heal, so he won’t be able to bear much weight with that arm until then, but we are so encouraged by his range of motion! When I photographed a wedding last Saturday, I came home to Grant playing his guitar! He’s not able to play for too long before it’s too painful, but the sound of him playing and singing is one of the sweetest sounds EVER to me!
