We're sick and in love. We're lovesick.
Today marks a special moment for the future Mr. and Mrs. Lipscomb... we printed our invitations!! It was a very difficult task. Basically we did a test page, hit print two hundred, put more invitations in when the paper ran out, and watched Juno. Tough I know. As the title hints, we are both feeling slightly under the weather this evening while we are waiting for the two hundredth invitation to finish up. Amanda has mono and I have allergies. No fun at all to be honest. She is ready to sleep and I am ready to plug my nose with tissues. My brain is pretty fuzzy now and I can't really think of anything else to say. We are ready to get married and live together! Four months to go!

Light at the End of the Tunnel
So, we're getting married in 133 days! It is such an exciting feeling to count down the days until I am a wife!
Wednesday we got our tattoos and they are pretty amazing. We went in thinking they would be fairly small and on one side of our bodies. Billy Joe told us that he would not be able to do the verse because the font was too small. We had decided that the verse was the most important part of the tattoo so we went big! I went first because we had a wedding planning meeting with CJ at 2:00. Man, it was painful! I freaked a little bit and almost fainted! After a few breaks, I decided that I was going to buck up and just finish. I'm sure it sounded like I was going into labor because I was screaming! :) Mr. Billy Joe was extremely patient with me and even took the time to pray with us as he was finishing my tattoo. He prayed for prosperity and a wonderful marriage. I don't think we could have asked for more. DJ, on the other hand, took it like a man and didn't take any breaks. They are a little shocking at first glance, but both beautiful representations of how we see our upcoming marriage.
CJ had everything basically planned out so we are seriously almost finished! Woo hoo! At this point, I could care less what kind of flower I will hold or what type of china we need for dinner. I just want to marry my man!
Also, I accepted a new position at Suntrust and it has been a really cool experience. I'm technically still training for the next week, a total of 3 exhausting weeks of policy, regulations and tests. We have health insurance. !!!!!!!!!! I couldn't ask for more. We have unbelievable benefits that I truly believe God has provided for us.
Honestly, every day it gets a little more difficult for DJ to go home. I just want to live together already. It gets so old sometimes. I want to wake up next to my husband and know that he will come back home that night. I am learning to be patient and enjoy everything that engagement offers. We are learning so much about each other. It is a cool thing to know that God has brought us together and he created us to love one another.
I will never get over that.

Exciting Week!
Why you might ask is this such an exciting week? First of all, we are getting tattoos on Wednesday. Second of all we get to have a big planning meeting with our awesome wedding coordinator CJ. So, this is going to be an awesome week!
We had a pretty heavy week last week to be honest. A lot of crazy things happened at once. Just a reminder that life does not always go as planned..in fact very rarely does life follow your plans. Despite the rough week and strange Saturday, the rest of the weekend was very good. Sunday brought some new life and fresh air back into our lives.
I do have to say, church was over the top even slightly hilarious this week. Jamie was talking about Satan and the presence of evil in the world...but they used very cheesy key board sounds and lights to distinguish between good (blue with angels) and bad (red with dragons and some eerie minor piano thing). Anyway, despite the cheese the service was great and had Amanda and I deep in conversation the whole time (writing back and forth in my journal).
We were both thankful to just talk alllll day long, hang out, and relax. This week is going to be killer! We will have tattoo pics up Wednesday night im sure :)
