  • The Good Life

    The Good Life

    Holy crap. I’m getting married this weekend. Repeatedly people have asked me if I’m “nervous” or “excited” yet. At first, these kind of bugged me because 1) for some reason I resent girly excitement over such matters and 2) I’m so ridiculously sure that this is right that I have no worries. But as we…

  • Plant the Yard.

    Plant the Yard.

    We’re making some progress on the house! We planted azaleas in the front and strawberries, roses, and a crepe myrtle on the side, so we’re getting closer to our dream yard 🙂 If you’re curious, here’s what the house looked like when we bought it: And here’s what we want it to look like: And…

  • Meditation

    Meditation

    I’ve made a new blog. It’s called Something Styled and it’s supposed to guide me and keep me focused and accountable and all of those other good things. Feel free to check it out. I feel clearer today than I have in a really long time. Last night, after eating too much pizza and not…

  • Wedding is in Full Bloom

    We got our first wedding gift in the mail yesterday! A much-needed and long awaited crock pot, courtesy of Mr. & Mrs. Don & Gene Autry. Daniel’s already prepped a couple of recipes for the next weeks worth of food. 🙂 We also went yesterday to shop for props for the bridal portraits I’m having…

  • On Fire!

    On Fire!

    Feeling pretty relaxed. The invites are out, my Citrix Cert exam is over (and passed), and all that’s left is to coast on through the wedding.. Right? So I’ve been struggling lately with this urge to do something big. And I don’t just mean change the world, become a CEO, or mother 10 children, although those are…

  • I’ve missed you.

    Okay, Diary. To say I’ve been scarce lately would be the understatement of the century, I realize. And to say that this was out of my control would be a complete and utter lie. In fact, on more than one occasion I’ve thought to myself, “Self, we should write in our blog,” and then, in…

  • What is the world coming to?

    An end, that’s what. Today was an interesting day for the news. First, there was a story about a homeless vampire. Then, I found out there was life discovered on Mercury. Then, they discovered unicorn caves in Korea. And now, there’s a deadly super-bug that’s basically going to kill us all. I need to stay…

  • 6 months to go!

    Actually, less than. It occurred to me yesterday that Monday was the 6 months and counting mark. Panic has not quite ensued, but it’s getting close. The dress is bought and now at the tailors being nipped and tucked as we speak. The venue is booked with the half-way deposit down (and my dad got…

  • Energy

    So let’s talk about high-energy versus low energy people. Whether this is a real concept or not, I have no idea, but it seems to be a reoccurring theme in my life so I thought I’d tap on it for a moment. Now, “energy” here I believe doesn’t refer to actual energy levels, although I…

  • Fall is here! and we’re hitting it hard. :)

    Alright, so there’s been a lot going on in my life as of late, and a lot of things have been put on the back-burner. One major thing? My wedding. So, lately, things have been slowing down and all of a sudden I’m a wedding fanatic. “What is that?” you ask? That’s someone who spends…
