19 Days to go!

We are finally down to the teen days!!! I can't believe it! So many plans and preparation have been done and just a few more to do.

The last few weeks we have been busy... a fabulous Bridal Shower, Young Life Banquet, our 2010 Holiday Events - Lighting of The Doves, iWOW, The Ice Rink and Donoho's Jewellers Winter Wonderland, preparing for Thanksgiving, work, work and more work, and wedding plans in the middle of it all! Here are some quick photos from the last few events.

The Overbeck Girls!

You have to see this!

This is a video you have to see! This is a video of our dear friends, Brad and Skyler's engagement. Skylers best friend hid in the bushes and taped the entire thing then took photos afterwards. What a friend and how special is that.

This link is to her friends website and their video is under "Proposals".

Congrats Brad and Sklyer!!!

Congratulations Brad and Skyler!

This weekend two of our dear friends got engaged! Jay and Brad became friends at A&M and we met Skyler this past summer when they started dating. They are perfect for each other and we are so excited to see what the Lord has in store for them and their future together!

We celebrated their engagement with a little Halloween fun. Brad and Skyler were Braaa-Z and Sky-once! Jay and I weren't that creative... I was Audrey Hepburn and Jay was a cowboy!

Congratulation Brad and Skyler! We can't wait for next November!!!!

What we've been up to...

Where should I start....

Since we are only 45 days away from the BIG day things have been very busy around here... as I'm sure you could have guessed. Since my last post Jay and I have taken dance lessons, Jay's Sunday fall soccer league started, Jay sister Jessica got married, I had my last dress fitting and bridal portraits, volunteered at Kids in the Kitchen, sent out our wedding invitations, started getting responses (which is super exciting!), received our first wedding gift, finally finished the work on the house from the water leak of 2010, and even had time to start running. Well when I say start running I mean I have gone twice, but that is more than I have run in the past year! Huge progress in my opinion.

Tomorrow we are going to have our final taste testing at The Resort and we are very excited! Things are coming together so well and we are getting more and more excited everyday. Then this weekend we are going to put together our wedding favors, hopefully get the programs printed, and a few other odd jobs for the wedding. My goal is to have everything done before Thanksgiving so we can enjoy the last week or so without lots of little jobs to worry about. I know that seems crazy, but I think we can get it done!

Here are some photos from our last month...

Well, I need to cheer on the Rangers... they are in need of my help!

Happy Hump Day!

Weekend Celebrations!

The last two weekends I have been busy celebrating the upcoming wedding. First with my beautiful bridesmaids at my bachelorette weekend and this last weekend with our wonderful friends and family in Dallas for our couples shower. I feel so blessed and overwhelmed with everyones generous gifts and them giving up a weekend and Saturday evening to celebrate with Jay and I.

Here are a few photos and when I have more time I will post some stories from both weekends!

Happy Sunday!

St. Louie!!!

I am spending this week in St. Louis attending a conference for work. I arrived on Sunday evening and had a rough flight... it was so bumpy... It was terrible. But I survived and checked in the hotel and attended my 1st class yesterday. We did get out a little early then a big group of us headed to the Arch. If you ever travel to St. Louis this is a definite "have to do". It is very cool to stand under and know that you were just up in the top... very crazy. Here are a few photos from my adventure.

Labor Day Weekend

We spent our Labor Day weekend relaxing, shopping, enjoying live music, yard work, sleeping in, late night movies, college football, friends, family and lots of laughter.

We also celebrated my sisters birthday with the family and enjoyed a delicious dinner at Benihana's then went to Waterway Square to enjoy the Labor Day Live Music.

Then Monday Jay and I ran errands, did yard work and just relaxed. It was the perfect rainy day.

Happy Late Birthday Jennifer!!! Love you!!!
