remember that one time I got engaged...

so this wedding planning business is a tad overwhelming! I had a little cry the other night after meeting with a lady at a reception place but after that we went to another place that was fabulous and went ahead and booked that so my wedding reception will be at the Market Street in Cottonwood on September 24th and I'm super excited about it. Because A) I love the room that we are having it in, it's gorg! B) they have delish food. Delish. oh and C) they take care of most of the stuff so I don't have to worry about finding linens and napkins and silly things like that. So I'm very excited and looking forward to it...

Now something much less exciting. You guys, I have to run a half marathon in 50-something days. Yeah, about that, I have like no energy to do anything. My running has sucked lately, mainly because I hate treadmills these days, they're boring, it's usually getting dark when I get home so that means it's too cold and too dark for me to run outside. What do I do?!? I'm really glad that daylight savings is in a couple of weeks because then I will be a running machine (hopefully) and will get where I need to be in a month but that's definitely easier said than done.

My dear old dad is getting hitched next week. Kind of exciting, kind of weird... I'm glad that he found someone that makes him happy and she's super nice but it's real fast. I guess when you know, you know though... Anyway, I have to wear a fancy dress and some heels so if I see you next week please don't judge the fact that I'll probably be hobbling around after having to wear tall shoes for 6 hours. Oy! I could have worn flats, I actually bought flats but my dress shows my legs and since my legs are less than attractive I chose to go with the heels so that the legs looked better, so turns out it's my own fault... shoot.

Obsessed!

So again, it has been a long time, the internet wasn't working again so I stole my dad's laptop. (I guess technically I bought it because I had to give him some of my tax return, he just actually hadn't given it to me yet). So I figure I should entertain you with a list:

I'm currently obsessed with a few things, they are as follows-

The summer salad with grilled chicken at Target. You guys, this salad is delish! It has like a spinachy mix of salad and strawberries and blueberries, it also has goat cheese and this amazing honey mustardy/poppyseed dressing. So good! They have them over in the deli section of the target and I've had one pretty much every day this week.

Baseball (raglan) tees. You know, the shirts that are usually white and they have different colored sleeves and collar? OMG I love them. I recently purchased 4 of them (shut up, they were all on clearance at Hollister). I just think that they're so stinkin' cute and I think that they fit me in a cute way... They are like casual but I can still look like I tried... I guess...

The Valentine's Day soundtrack. It's really good! It's a lot of older love songs redone to be more up to date. Really very enjoyable...

Oh yeah, I'm also obsessed with this PRETTY RING ON MY LEFT HAND!!! Ha! That's right, it happened! I got engaged just yesterday afternoon. Amazing right? My dear sweet boyfriend (who I don't deserve) bought me a Build A Bear and put the ring in the stuffed heart that the bear was holding and when you press the bears hand it says "I love you, Happy Valentine's Day, and will you marry me?" To which I said, "are you serious" because I didn't know that the ring was in the heart. It was exciting and strange, something I didn't know would ever happen. But I'm very excited and can't wait to settle down with Greg for the long haul... Excuse me while I gush for a minute (Celina, avert your eyes) but he is pretty much amazing and more than I could have ever hoped for. He's sweet and nice and considerate and he's fun and silly and he makes me smile. I love being around him and I'm pretty sure he loves being around me... I'm really lucky guys and I couldn't ask for anything more. Yay for weddings and getting engaged!
