This sickness will be the death of me. These last couple days have been full of laying in bed and staring at the ceiling. It has been relaxing to an extent but also boring, and I am ready to feel healthy again. 

Yesterday, while everyone was facebooking and instagraming the oh so entertaining falls they witnessed, I was wrapped in a cocoon of blankets waking up to a text from the fiance. 

"Hey babe, drive safe and slow. Lots of accidents this morning."

Call me a romantic, but this was wonderful. The littlest things mean the most in the end. This short simple text tells me I found the most lovely, caring, kind man. I am lucky to get to hold his had for the rest of our lives and after. He doesn't know how perfect he is. And I believe that is what makes him so wonderful and what makes me so lucky. 

Working out has finally become a habit. And I am starting to see results with this wedding diet and workout. I just have to keep telling myself that all of this is worth it. The diet isn't so bad after your stomach has shrunk. It fits into my lifestyle quite nicely and I am thinking of keeping it around.

3 month 0 weeks 0 days 18 hours 22 minutes and 45 second. 

{ the official count down has now begun }

another persons junk.

I spend more time decorating than I do sleeping and,

 I learned how to use a leveler it's safe to say it's my new favorite tool.

I take pride in having a clean home,

so sometimes I stay up until three in the morning doing the dishes.

My mother always told me that I hoard junk.

but I secretly knew that one day it would all come in handy.

there is a free alpaca on KSL.

my backyard is plenty big enough for her.

I'm not going to lie and say that she is not a temptation to me.

because she is.

she would be wonderful for our summer camping trips.

I got that old chair at savers,

and it was six ninety nine.

WIN.

after a handful of comparing,

chatting, admiring and weeknight meetings. 

we have officially chosen the wedding photographer.

 

 

fancy that.

decorating gives me a kind of thrill.

 I would do it all day long if everyone let me.

and if you supplied me with the funds to do so. 

this is by far my favorite part of the house right now.

I love the way the window leaks light through the curtain onto the wall.

its really quite lovely to wake up to.

this place is slowly turning from a house to a home. 

all its missing is a certain boy.

c'mon now, pull it together

1: Summer was good to us. It was my last summer as an unmarried woman, and I can't say I am sad about it. This summer will undoubtedly be the best summer of my life thus far. Bring it.

2: Kate leaves on her mission tomorrow. It will be weird not having the option to see her whenever I want. She will be a splendid missionary though. And, by the time she gets home I will be a wife {maybe even a mommy}. Kari is waiting patiently for her call right now. I am betting Europe. And if so, I may be planning a trip across the pond.

3: I am marrying such a handsome man. this could be a centerfold out of GQ. And, is it just me or are suits the best way too make a woman swoon? because believe me I am swooning.

4: Rachel and I went to the ATM last week and my truck didn't fit.  Note to self: I am too small for a truck. And a truck is too big for me. I still love my Stevie though. She's a keeper.

5: Wedding planning is in full swing. My nerves have each taken a shot of caffeine and it is keeping me from being productive. So I thought I would share a bit of the wedding jitters with you.

6: The colors and the flowers have been chosen and I am torn between two photographers. Bridesmaids dresses will be purchased in mint, and the wedding dress will soon undergo surgery. The invites have been chosen and the guest list is growing. The more it comes together the more I lose my mind. April 26th could not come fast enough.

I cant wait to be his mrs.

2012

Goodbye 2012 and good riddance. I mean you were good to me and all, but it was time for you to go. Let me give you the break down on the hardest year of my adult life. that may have been an exaggeration. But thats fine. 

2012:
Got that New Years kiss from my one and only.
Moved down to cougar city.
Worked at forever 21.
Worked at Costco.
Started planning a wedding.
Found a ring.
Bought a wedding dress.
Stopped planning a wedding.
Moved home from Provo.
Started at FFG.
Got engaged.
Got promoted.
Turned nineteen.
Moved into our teeny tiny house.
Had a merry christmas.
Burned a tree, kissed a hottie, and brought in the new year.

This year brought lots of heartache. But with all the tears shed, many more smiles were had.

 It was a good year in all and a fast one as well.

 A year later and I am still falling in love with this gentleman mine, just a couple kisses and a few laughs at a time.

Now lets talk about this new year. 

Its already January 10th. awww yeeaa

 January was and still is the dreaded month for me. Why? Because it is the only month since getting engaged that does not have had a holiday or a birthday to look forward to.

But, I can say that January has been good for something. January means that i am actually getting married this year. No more "im getting married next year"and a lot more "im getting married this year".

Guys. This is exciting stuff. 

2012 brought a lot of lasts 

but 2013 will bring a lot of firsts.

and i don't know about you but i'd rather have firsts.
