June 30, 2012: Matt proposed! Obviously Jenna said yes :) It was an incredibly happy day, and we felt so blessed to have our families there to celebrate with us.
Summer 2012: Begin the wedding planning! We started planning, and planning, and planning... Being a teacher, Jenna wanted to take advantage of her time off. Potential wedding date: June 15, 2013.
September 2012: Speed bump! Jenna's sister, Erin - also the MOH, found out that she would be taking some of her students on a trip to Spain and France from June 12 - 18. Which made the June 15 date a big impossibility unless Jenna wanted to get married without her MOH! Don't think so... This started the period known as: Wedding Planning Take 2. Matt & Jenna tossed around several ideas, and narrowed it down to March 10 or August 3. Nothing set in stone yet.
January 3, 2013: SURPRISE! Something told Jenna that taking a pregnancy test would answer a lot of symptoms she'd been experiencing lately... and there it was - Matt & Jenna were expecting! This solidified the wedding date choice: March 10 it is! Now there are 3 months to cram it all in.
March, 10, 2013: WEDDING! They did it. Not only pulled off a fabulous and classy wedding, but were able to do it in just 3 months. Fortunately, there had been the whole previous summer of 2012 - which a lot was able to carry over from. Happiest day of our lives!
April 7, 2013: Gender Reveal Party! And baby Truitt is..... A GIRL!! Parker Lucille Truitt.
Later in April 2013: Start the house hunt! Living in Matt's apartment (which was a lofted apartment on the 3rd floor without an elevator) ... was not going to last much longer as the Texas heat began to increase.
May 25, 2013: CLOSING DAY! Perfect house found: check! Closed on a fabulous 3-2 with a playset in the backyard for baby!
AND NOW....
We're in our new house in Carrollton, we are MOSTLY unpacked (still a few boxes here and there), we have started setting up Parker's nursery, and Jenna is back on summer vacation, trying to take advantage of this time to plan, plan, plan!
AUGUST 23, 2013: is our Estimated Due Date for Baby Parker! We can't wait to meet her and continue with this whirlwind of our life!
