A very busy time

Jerry and I are in a very busy time in our lives. We are starting to plan our wedding, which is next summer on July 11. I cannot wait! We have decided to get married in at a place called Victory Art's Center. This building used to be a convent and boarding school for young women and has recentely been renovated into apartments. I love that we are getting married at a place that is a part of history.

Jerry and I also are about to purchase our first house! We found a house in North Arlington that is everything we were looking for and more. It was the very first house we looked at and we counldn't help but compare every single house back to that one. I cannot wait to begin decorating! We close on August 22 and move in August 29.

About 2 weeks ago, Jerry and I were in a terrible accident that we were truly lucky to walk away from. I still cannot believe we made it out with only bumps and bruises. This accident has really made me realize how fast your life can change. I really don't know what I would have done if something happened to Jerry. I am cannot stress how grateful and fortunate we are. As of right now, I am driving a rental car, avoiding highways, and waiting on insurance.

Rowdy Hank Peterson is the newest addition to the Peterson family. About a month ago I finally convinced Jerry to get a yellow Lab. He is precious and Lucy and him are best friends. He does keep me busy, but I don't mind one bit!

This is such an amazing time for Jerry and I and I am so grateful that we have such great families and friends. We have great parents that are so supportive of our dreams and hopes for the future and have continually cheered throughout the years. Our friends mean everything to us and we cannot wait to "grow up" with them.
