1. I really, really, really…

    …really, REALLY love being married to a home-grown rockstar :) He does his wifey proud singing his heart out for the Lord on stage!

    After a week of praying and worrying about it I finally asked Dale to forgive me of my sins prior to our wedding day… and he lovingly replied “Only if you’ll do the same for me.”  Closure. I fall in love all over again. Every. Single. Day. Eek!!
  2. This… is my sleepy (blurry, picture-in-the-dark) husband. :) He is a good boy, and actually goes to bed at a decent hour while I sit here and stare at him with the happiest, overflowing, BURSTING with love heart… Nothing makes me happier than to look at his peaceful sleeping (handsome) face and know that the shiny ring on his finger signifies that he chose ME to be his wife. EVERY DAY………I fall in love again. Mushy, sappy, overly dramatic, head over heals, squealing out LOUD love. :)  P.S. The mug above his head is actually an empty glass of Sleepytime Tea (meaning he drank it all, good boy!), which… unfortunately… has no effect on this girl. Another P.S. Maybe… probably… nobody should tell him I took/posted this pic O:)

  5. Lately I’ve been feeling…

    …more and more like a wife :)

    The closer and closer the wedding gets the more impatient I am to be married.  I feel like a wife today sitting in the ski lodge waiting for my fiance to come down the hill.  I felt like a wife this morning when I packed his lunch :)

    Is it July 3 yet!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  6. Today:

    Snow day :) Studying/breakfast with some great girls! Brain-frying exam. KIDS BOOKS!!! Bubble bath. OPERA! Mojo’s with Kate to see Steffan play the drums (and his lovely dialogue through the glass as we were leaving ;)). Catch-up, wind-down chat with Amy :) Fetch with Penguin.

    Bedtime.

    Perfect!

  7. Ahem… I have an announcement to make.

    I live with The. Best. Girls. in the whole wide world. Period. God has blessed me so much with this sassy bunch of Cherries.  They never question my random over-abundance of emotions (not so random tonight, but ya know ;)) and they are never too shy to be absolutely, crazy INSANE silly with me when I need it. I’m feeling one of those absolutely, crazy INSANE silly nights coming on tomorrow night, let’s do it up girls!

    Thanks so much for supporting me and bearing with me and loving me.  My door is always open (figuratively; silly cat).

    P.S. I praise the Lord every day for Dale for ALSO putting up with my over-abundance of emotions :) He has probably never seen/heard a girl cry so much in his entire life!

  8. Love.

    My relationship with my mom is purely and absolutely a real-life fairytale :) She is an amazing woman and I aspire to be 100% me with 99% her influence some day!

    Yesterday, she asks me for my address, so I know something is coming.

    Today, when I get home from class, there is a small package containing a set of three pairs of Valentines Day socks :) Just three sets of socks.

    My feet and my heart are SO warm right now!!!

  9. My fiance…

    ……has just begun to develop jealousy after dating me for over two years ;)

    LOVE HIM.

    147 days <3

  10. SERIOUSLY! Lauren said it all. Amy reaffirmed it :) I AM SO BLESSED!!!

    ay-me-elle:

    Seriously. God’s blessing me so much.

    lauren-elisabeth:

    hey.  i love these girls.  i guess you could call it the alternative to LOST parties, but really it was half a house of girls bonding over pink pajama pants, a hamster in a bathtub, shared procrastination, and many stories to be told with a new wonderful roomie.

    that free hat i got tonight also goes well with my gray-brown coat i wear e’rryday too.  =]
