In case I forgot when my wedding was, theknot.com just sent me a reminder email. Just checking to make sure you haven't forgotten it...
It hadn't really occured to me how soon this wedding is. I mean, in my head, it seems like a lifetime away. That I'll get around to planning things when it gets closer. I'm just brainstorming, right? I don't have to make any decisions.... right?
Luckily, things are fitting together like a Sudoku puzzle. It's a little complicated at first and it takes a little staring at, but once you get 4 or so numbers in, then BLAM! It all comes to you and you've got it figured out. Weddings seem to be about the same. Just look at it for awhile in your head and soon enough, all the pieces will fall perfectly together and be just want you invisioned. That makes me happy. I'm sure that other people aren't as lucky, or that even people in my own family are thinking my ideas are too unique and far-fetched, but really? Who's wedding is this anyway? As long as my future husband and I are happy, I don't know that it really matters.
So what do we have picked out? The suits, the dresses, the gifts, the colors, the date, the place (which includes food and drinks), and a myriad of other little things. I like it. A lot!
Other than that. I don't have much new news. I seem to never be able to stay in the same place for more than a couple weeks. I'm heading all over the midwest again for the holiday season. Yay for family!
In case I don't get back to the blog before the holidays,
Have A Great And Wonderful Season My Friends!

Everything You Ever Wanted To Know
Here is the list of updates:
1. The Peace Corps idea fell through. I got a call some odd number of weeks ago and basically they only thing they had to tell me was that they just aren't getting the funding they thought they would have and although I have recognizable skills, I'm just not experienced enough. They apparently want people who are more trained than I am so they don't have to spend that extra money. You know? I kinda saw it coming, but I have to admit that I was definitely a little more than disheartened. It's one thing to tell your self it might not work and set guidelines as to when to pull my application. It's completely different when they call and tell you it's over.
2. Because of the Peace Corps, I'm living at home. And fighting the other 533,000 Americans for jobs. Boo.
3. I'm ENGAGED! That's right. You heard me. ENGAGED! The love of my life, my soulmate, my dreamer, asked me to marry him. And of course I said "YES!" Ok, so there was some excited tears and lots of hugging, but I said yes and so here I sit. ENGAGED! This actually happened the Monday before Thanksgiving, but for some reason, my blogging capabilities have been lacking. My apologies.
4. Wedding planning is way fun! I'm having lots of fun getting ideas and things. I like trying on dresses, picking out colors, etc. I just kinda wish that those who say it's my wedding and therefore is only up to me and my groom to make decisions, could take their own advice. Everyone... and I seriously mean EVERYONE comes up with ideas to give you about your wedding and then just after they hound you for about 20 minutes on what you "should" do, they tell you, "... but it doesn't matter what you do, it's your wedding. I just think this is something that would be a good idea for you." Right. And how is it that EVERYONE says that? Don't they remember getting married and having the same problem? So why pay a bad tradition forward?
That may be my update for tonight. That supposably covers the last 4-7 weeks or more of my life. I know, blamed boring. I get stuff.
Enjoy!
