Merci Beaucoup, Allie & Omar!!

We had so much fun taking these pictures and are so blessed to have you in our lives!

There was just a few that I loved. Which was your favorite?

Adieu.

Surreal

This place I'm in right now feels so strange and wonderful and a little sad. These days it's as if I'm finding out everyday that one of my friends is moving. The people that have captivated my life and entertained me, and hugged me while I cry, and made
me laugh, infuriated me, and cooked with me- they're leaving. I was depressed at first but now I find that maybe I have some purpose for being the one to stay in Henderson and stick around. I guess this means I'll be turning into that "road-trip" girl. You know that one whom everytime you see has different stories to tell of her latest road trip, with pictures taken in front of some funny, little crappy diner, with a million kajillion miles on her car. But it will be worth it.

My fiancé and I have no plans of moving-ever. We'll see what's in God's will, but I really do call this place my home. It's incredible that I'm marrying the man of my dreams in 100 days!!! It feels like it creeping up on us everyday.

He continually takes my breath away and shows me so much grace and is so captivating. I couldn't have dreamt him up. I'm so excited to begin a life with him.


Why do friends have to move away right when you're beginning to appreciate how beautiful and silly and uplifting they are?


Adieu Jolie.

We're getting there...

I'm getting married in 112 days!!! Can you believe it?! Me either. This is such an exciting time in my life.

It really set in this past week when Max and I were discussing whether we would do the whole receiving line thang (unfortunately no, it takes too much time and we would rather not have our guests rip our heads off because we are making them wait for dinner lol), I was able to take my dress in to the alterationist, Marietta =D (and just so you know, my butt looked FABULOUS!!), we properly worded our invitations and I am planning on making myself useful and mailing them out while Max is at camp, and I bought very fun DIY items from JoAnn's for our table numbers and a few other surprises I have up my sleeve.

My sister, Angelica, got in town on Friday and we have been hanging out nonstop ever since.

We went to Marietta's together, bought new brake pads for my car (i know, I'm so well-rounded, right?? Pshh no. I looked around Checkers for about 10 minutes before concluding that I had absolutely NO idea what I was looking for before I asked someone for help), ate Pei Wei for lunch- if you haven't already, try their kids teriyaki bowl with a side of steamed veggies. It's so big I can't even finish it. We shopped around JoAnn's for about an hour because I thought I was being so thrifty because I had a $5 off coupon of  a purchase of $35 or more, yet to find it was an online-only coupon- JERKS!!!, and went to my favorite coffee shop, Espresso, for some Thai tea and acoustic music- gotta love it.


Max leaves for camp today =[
But I found out yesterday that I am allowed to go to Lost Canyon Sunday and Monday so I'm so stoked!


...Don't worry! I'll be sure to include some pics of our ladies' team uniforms after I get back. You will literally crap your pants when you see them, fyi.

My enemy, Summer...

I don't like that I am worried jealous when it comes to her. I sometimes think it's justified though. Everyone loves her. Except me...

I can't help it. She's bright and happy and steals Max away from me for days at a time. She forces me to have to constantly reevaluate myself into becoming a "better" person.

I am completely aware but don't care in the slightest that jealousy is unattractive and makes me seem foolish. But she's hot!

If you haven't figured it out yet, I'm not talking about a person- I'm referring to the season. Why is it so freakin hot!?

And I hate that Max always leaves me in Summer. I cry every single time. Why am
I such a baby?? The next two weeks will be spent saying hello and goodbye as he goes on three different trips- none of which I will be a part of. No memories with me or pictures with me in them or soft kisses under a different state's sky. This is something I only have the courage to write about and never say. My best friend has been enduring a long distance relationship for the past 4 1/2 years- who am I to complain? Especially around her! I'm pathetic that's what.

I still can't help it though- I'm such a worry wart! Everytime he leaves I feel like a military wife whose husband has to leave her and may not come back. How sick is that??

I wasn't built for long distance relationships and
okay with that. I just don't like summer- that's all.


Adieu.

favorite scene friday

scene from A Lot Like Love







I think you will be able to appreciate this. I know I do

I'm back

Hello! I've missed you too :)

new things I should mention:

It feels nice to be back on here. Summer school classes are kicking my butt- but one in almost done. Then just two to go!

My parents are suing eachother so communicating with them is just lovely right now.

Max's wedding band came in!!!! It's beautiful, shiny, and Titanium- it SO light!

Ive been taking spin classes with some girlfriends and I absolutely love it! I think
I'm pretty darn good at it too, which is funny because whenever anyone would say they did spin I would stare at them in utter amazement because I was pretty sure spin was as difficult as delivering a child. I'm not sure about that anymore, but if it is I just might be able to make it out alive :)

I got to sleep in today... Thank you GOD! I haven't slept in in two weeks! I wish I didn't take summers of sleeping in for granted when I was younger.

I've been HIGHLY irritable with people the last few days. Why do people think it's appropriate to ask if they are invited to my wedding when I'm not even close with them- or people asking if they can bring along their boyfriends I have NEVER met. Aren't they aware that this is very bad etiquette???

I'm doing my engagement pictures this Monday-- yay!!!!


Less than 130 days... Woo hoo!!



Adieu*
