February and March were full of wedding plans, Valentine's Day, a surprise trip for Mike and a spring break trip to Branson, Missouri. As soon as Mike proposed I started thinking about the wedding and started making wedding plans. Mike accepted a job offer at Rolls Royce in Indiana with a start date in late June so I knew we needed to get things moving for the wedding. The last weekend in January my parents came to town so the entire family could go wedding dress shopping. I had two appointments in Houston to try and find the perfect dress. We went to the first place and it was pretty fancy. They didn't have a ton of dresses, but I did find one I liked. I didn't LOVE it, but it was nice. It was $2,900 though... So we headed to the second store and it had a few more dresses and I found one I liked there too, but I couldn't see myself in it. We left feeling defeated, but planned to go back in a couple of weeks. That next week in College Station I told my sisters that I wanted to stop by David's Bridal just to see if they had anything that would work. I tried on about 10 dresses until I tried on the one that I liked more than any other one. It wasn't that crying, 100% sure type of thing, but I really really liked it. I wanted a sweetheart neckline, and it didn't have it, but I knew I could take it to the seamstress and have it fixed. I wished my mom could have been there, but I was just relieved that I had found and bought the dress.
The next week was Valentine's Day and Mike said he wanted to cook me dinner for it. I went over to his house and we had a nice romantic dinner. I brought a red velvet cake because I knew that was his favorite. I think he was excited.
Dinner was great and the cake was pretty good too. :) I am SO thankful to have this wonderful man in my life. He is so loving, kind and caring. I can't wait to marry him!
A couple of weekends after Valentine's Day I surprised Mike with a trip to The Houston Museum of Natural Science and to a Movie Grill to have dinner and watch The Lego Movie. He didn't have a clue of where we were going and he was presently surprised when we got there. We wondered around the museum for a couple of hours, picked up a couple of souvenirs and walked around outside for a little bit. After that we headed to the Movie Grill to eat and watch The Lego Movie. Mike loved it! :) It was a great day.
A couple weeks later it was Spring Break and Mike's friend, Jeremiah, invited us to spend it with his family in Branson, Missouri. It was such a good time! Jeremiah's family was so kind to us and paid for food and entertainment while we were there. We got to ride go karts, play mini golf, eat great food, play poker and relax. It was such a great break from life!
