It's coming

Well, 37 days until the DAY. Plans are coming along quite nicely. Things left to do: appointment with florist; appointment with hair dresser; final dress fitting; and some reception stuff. Amazingly, I am not terribly stressed out despite the fact that I need to start packing for the move to PANAMA, and I only have three weeks in which to do so.
Jose will be graduating in one month from today, and I will be traveling down to Arkansas to be with him for his final finals week and his graduation ceremony.
There are so many exciting things coming up that I am really looking forward to. We are going to be starting a great adventure. And that tropical weather just sounds better and better after a day like yesterday.

Our Story (Arielle's side)


Jose and I met in fall of 2003 (his freshman year, my sophomore year) at Harding University. I was working as the attendant for the weightroom because, let's face it, where better to meet guys than at the gym.
He came in on a Wednesday evening with a friend of his. I greeted them with the usual smile, and went back to doing my homework. Well, I guess he was interested, because he later told me he kept coming back every night trying to see me again. (He didn't know that I only worked on Wednesdays) He finally came in when I was working and came up to talk to me.
I could tell he was nervous. He was kind of blushing, it was so cute. He started coming every Wednesday right before I got off work, and he would carry my backpack and walk me back to my dorm. That and a million other things made me fall in love with him.
We started dating September 30, 2003 and we have been together since then. January 6, 2006, he asked me to be his wife and I gladly said "YES." We set our wedding date for May 19, 2007, one week after he graduates from college. And then we are off to start our new life together in Panama City, Panama.
