Mid-Engagement Craziness!!!

I know, I know. It's been two whole months since I have blogged and I feel really bad about that. I'm telling you, this blogging thing still overwhelms me, but then I get such kind people telling me how much they like to read my blogs and that makes me feel so good that I keep writing...except when I don't write like I've been doing lately and then I feel bad...
So, I'm just gonna break the cycle and no longer justify my lack of writing b/c of my engagement (which has been AMAZING), thank you for asking!

But, I'm afraid I am going to talk predominantly wedding jargon, so forgive me... or enjoy,   whichever you prefer!

So, yes, I have had the most chill, stess-free, fun, enjoyable engagement than anyone I have ever encountered. After my last post, where I was having panic attacks and freaking out about everything, I have been GREAT! Oh, but I just realized that was the last thing I wrote about, so now I'm doubly sorry! Don't worry, I haven't gone and done something to myself, or Matthew, or the wedding.
I have my head on straight again.

Just kinda planning this event every second of every day and then thinking about it when I'm not actively planning it. All I have to say is, "Thank God I am an organized planner kind of person or else this would be a nightmare!"
I just finished addressing all the invitations myself, and although Matthew offered to host an "envelope-stuffing party" I asked him if I could just do it myself because I enjoyed it so much!
Am I crazy?!

But I did, I really enjoyed it. And I met with the band yesterday. And Dad's building all sorts of fun platforms and stands and things for the reception, and I picked out the music, and on and on and on. It really is endless, but I thoroughly enjoy it. And having a fiancee that actually has an opinion doesn't hurt either. And then I have a mother who is just beside herself with excitement and denial and all that goes with that...
We had a grand 'ole time last Sunday drinking cheap wine, stuffing hostess gifts and trying on my hugely uncomfrotable wedding gown. Is that normal? Are you not supposed to breathe in them? How about walking? I mean, is that important, or do you just kinda throw all that out the window with these crazy things? OK, just wondering.
So, I shall conclude by posting some of my favorite engagement pictures by the lovely Betsy Lackey. Our session and more of her work can be found at: photobybetsy.blogspot.com

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of

Official Proposal Story!!!

So, finally, I will be telling you the wonderful story of how a regular date night turned into the most wonderful night of my life... Buckle in! It's a tear-jerker! Matt had told me earlier in the week that we were going to have Date Night Thursday night. He said he had been grumpy from his cutback on dipping and wanted to make it up to me. (I didn't think he'd been that grumpy, but I love date night, so I didn't argue.) I looked forward to it all week, and then Thursday came around and he sent me a text asking me to wear his favorite B/W sleeved dress. (Oddity #1) He's never asked me to where something before, and I might have complained a bit since it had sleeves and it was a scorching 102 that day! But, I conceded. Then, he said he'd pick me up at 5:45 (Oddity #2). I figured that was a bit early, but I was just happy that Matt was planning our date night out so nicely. So, I had been wanting to get off work a bit early that day, but it just wasn't so. The
