OK so for those of you that have been following Kasi's Facebook over the last couple of days know that we have had a little kink in the works regarding the wedding. The church that we had hoped could not come to an agreement with us using the church. So since I had some downtime on my last rotation I cruised the internet in search of another one from Jacksonville. I sent Kasi the list of churches that I found and she picked one and called them. Today we went and visited the church and liked it better than the first one. So with a deposit we have secured a church clearing the way for the last major obstacle on the wedding planning. I have updated the church information below.

For those of you who may be reading this, here are some details of the wedding:
Date: May 29, 2010
Place: North Side Christian Church; Kansas City

Bye, bye 2009; hello 2010

Well 2009 is coming to and end in about 3 hours so I figured that I would catch you up on what has happened the last year between the two of us. There is not that much so bare with me. First I finished up helicopter school in February and then quickly moved back to KC to start my flying job in March. In June I asked Kasi to marry me and she said yes but it took awhile to get the actual word cause she could not stop crying. Then Kasi quit her job and moved in KC to be with me and start her photography business. We celebrated Thanksgiving with my family and Kasi's mom came in to town to celebrate that with us as well. Christmas was also with my family and Kasi got to see how we celebrate even though it was a couple of days late because of the snow. As for tonight the two of us went out for a date since those are already getting to few. As for 2010 on what that may bring. Well the wedding is in May quickly followed by a honeymoon. I think the wedding will keep us pretty busy for the first part of the year. After the wedding I am looking forward to finishing out the year with Kasi as my wife.

Registry

We've had a lot of people asking so we thought we'd post where we are registered.

Right now we are registered at Kohl's and are partially registered (Kasi went online at night and picked a few things to start the registry) at Target and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

6 months to the Wedding!

The plans are underway and coming along nicely! Our wedding party is set and I'm SO excited! I never dreamed about my wedding day but after college, I planned who I would have stand with me on this special day. Today, that plan is finally complete and I couldn't be more excited! Hattie, Serena, Maria, Amber, and Nicole. The girls who have been the most loyal friends I could ever ask for and who have been there for me through thick and thin and helped shape me into the person I am today. I love these girls! Thank you for the honor of standing with me for the most important day of my life. WOOHOO!!!!

We are still sending out our Save-the-Date cards (we've been a little slow there.) But they are coming! It's amazing how many people are in my family. I love that! I think Kevin and I will keep our family small, however. :) As I was writing down everyone in my family, it just warmed my heart to think of how many people are out there that love me. Although they have to, we are related. :) Now we have the pleasure of bringing our families together and I CAN'T WAIT for everyone that we have known and loved over the years to be together in one room! I'm almost more excited about that and of course, our Honeymoon nights! Come on, I'm only human. :)
