I am so happy that it’s Friday! I can’t believe that we have almost been engaged for a week!!! This has been such a happy, wonderful week! And guess what else today is?? Snickerdoodle’s third birthday!! I remember when I first got her she was just a tiny puffball of white hair. In some ways it feels like I have had her for longer than three years. I wonder what we should do for her big day. Of course, she’s a dog and she has no idea what I mean when I shout Happy Birthday! to her. On the other…

I can’t write much, because I have to head off to a 9 am doctor’s appointment. Yuck. On the bright side, I can show off my ring to my doctor. 🙂

An island in the Caribbean seems like the perfect place to get married. The beautiful blue waters, the white sandy beaches, temperate weather all year round, and an exotic location far away from anyone who knows you. Not that being near people that love you is bad… but we are going to get married in a ceremony that comes down to just the two of us. I adore the thought of getting married on the beach and then having the rest of the day and the rest of the week to just enjoy the resort, the island, the bed… No…

It’s amazing how quickly I’ve gone into full bridal mode! I can’t stop thinking about things like wedding location, budget, vows, pictures, everything. Hopefully my brain will calm down a bit soon and I can get back to normal life, but for now I am just too excited! Of course, it’s not the wedding that excites me so much as the marriage. In a lot of ways, nothing really changes. We already live together and share our finances. There’s no virgin anticipation of the wedding night. Sure, legally things will change. This house will be partially mine after we are…

G and I are engaged!!!!! This past weekend was one of the happiest of my entire life! On Friday, we celebrated his birthday in a casual way. I made a cake, we went to see a movie, and we hung out with his friend F who had come into town for the weekend. Despite how busy he’s been lately with this summer class he’s taking, G casually mentioned that we should go to the zoo this weekend. Now, going to a zoo is one of my favorite things in the world. I have never been to the North Carolina Zoo,…

Today is G’s birthday! It’s amazing to think that I’ve already been living here for a year and that we’ve known each other for almost 2 years now. I had no idea the day we met how important he would later become in my life, but I thank God every day for him. He isn’t big on celebrations and things, so we will probably be low-key tonight, but that will be fun too as long as we are together.So, happy birthday my love, I hope you have a wonderful day!!
