Once again, I am super behind on filling you in on all the juicy details of Graym and I's wedding. Wicked lame, I know. Please forgive me as I fill you in on the most recent wedding planning fun!

So, in case you couldn't tell, I'm a but ahead of the game when it comes to all this wedding stuff ;) What can I say, when I get really excited about something, I turn into the hulk of planning. Just wait til I have kids (birthdays planned 8 months in advance? A very good possibility!). This statement has definitely held true throughout our engagement so far, and things that didn't need to be done for another 3 months have already been checked off the list...

...including the HONEYMOON!

The Monday following our wedding, Graym and I will be head off to the gorgeous Turks and Caicos Island, nestled in the heart of the Caribbean. We will spend a wonderful 10 days at The Sands of Grace Bay Resort in Providenciales, in a stunning 1 bedroom suite with full kitchen, dining and living areas, and balcony overlooking the hotel's gardens.

Needless to say, Graym and I are totally stoked! 10 days of post-wedding bliss, what more could a newly wed couple want? We're hoping to jam-pack our time there with lots of snorkeling, scuba diving, horseback riding, exploring the islands on bike and jet ski, and some relaxing days on the beach of course! It's going to be so perfect, and Graym and I can't wait to start our life together as a married couple with such a great trip!

Here are some pictures of the beautiful islands!







Our hotel and it's beach!

A real man.

Last night we were watching the CMA awards when Luke Bryan came out singing "Country Girl: Shake it for Me."  If the title wasn't enough of a hint, a group of scantily clad gals came out to dance on chairs while Luke sang. This being one of my favorite country songs at the time, I bopped around in the chair while singing along. Half way through the performance though, I look over at Graym and see he is just sitting there, eyes on the floor. When I asked him why he wasn't watching, he responded: "I don't want to watch those girls dressed like that. I only have eyes for you."

Oh my gosh, make my heart melt! What a blessing it is to know that I am marrying a man who loves God so profoundly that he actively seeks purity in our relationship and demonstrates it in such a simple, sweet way.  There are few things Graym has done in our relationship that has made me feel as loved, honored, and respected as that very moment. (This isn't the first time Graym has turned his eyes away from girls that aren't "fully dressed," yet every time I am just as amazed.)

Needless to say, we spent the rest of the song looking into each others eyes as I was crooning at the incredible man before me. You can go ahead and roll your eyes 'cuz it's just so unbearably cute :)

Geez looez God, how did I become so blessed as to be marrying Graym?
