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.

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*

Cadeau (Gift)

So I have this adorable, sweet friend. She has decided that she is going to bless Max and I with free engagement photos. What in the world? What have I done to deserve this???? I keep praying that Max and I get blessed with gifts for our wedding especially in the financial area and I keep getting shocked and what God is doing. Thank you soo much friend.

These photos are from one of my favorite websites right now. I love am completely obsessed this site.

These are some of me and Max's favorites:

adieu jolie.

Quiet time from 6/5/2010

Here's a little tid bit from my quiet time today:

"My goodness do I feel like I'm growing so much in Christ lately! I got an unexpected and wonderful message from a new friend today. I can't wait for us to grow closer and to have fun girl times together. No one can and will EVER replace Nicole and Jess from my life once they move away, but I feel like God is being faithful in my prayer request and is setting it up so that I won't be as lonely as I thought I would be once they move...

(Just a side note: I totally plan on having like a million ba-jillion phone dates and doing a TON of road trips to come see you  ladies and I know it won't feel that different but the truth is my love language is quality time and when I don't get that I feel as if something is lacking =P so I'm just a little nervous right now, but it's something I'm definately praying about )

...Thank you for mentors in my life. I think I might be one pathetic excuse for a woman and future wife without them. Thank you again for answering my prayer for major spiriual growth during this time of being engaged just so that Max and I can  really start our marriage off well and be completely devoted to You. Help us to grow closer to becoming more like You everday.

Titus 2:3-5

"Older women teach what is good... that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind being subject to their own husbands..."

Thank you so much Chelsea for the advice ;)

Lingerie Obsession

So can I just admit that I am obsessed with lingerie right now? Like to the point where I am considering selling all of my clothes on eBay and replacing them with super cute lingerie that I have found over the last couple of months. If I didn't have to worry about old man creepers or judgment I would walk around all day, everyday in whatever outfit I wanted. Oh wouldn't that be nice?? I'm gonna be so excited to prance around the house in cute stuff for Max once were married.




Here are some of my favs that I have been staring at incessantly since I have found them:

Loop-de-loop set

Anthropologie- on SALE

very angelic for Victoria Secret, right?

sorry if this was way too personal or you think it's inappropriate, but I'm just soo excited for a number of reasons to get married (this is just one of them).
