Loveeee it!!!

Engagement session # 1 of 3 are done! Yes, we are ridiculous. We are having pictures done at lots of places that have been important to us. All of our pictures from this past session turned out amazinggg.....I'm in love with them. :)

Randomness...

**I've been sick for two days. Yuck. I don't like being sick. My roomies have bronchitis and I'm hoping it doesn't turn into that....
**I have my next dress fitting tomorrow! Yay! :)
**Having a girls night tomorrow night and sooo looking forward to it. Going to Bar Louie and Valentine's Day. :)
**Ends up that I'm moving into our house sooner than we anticipated. Moving there in a week.....I'm more than ready. I'm ready for the next step and I'm excited about making this house ours and working even more to become established and situated in a new community and give me some time to transition to the commute. I only have a week left of the glorious 5 minute commute and I'm going to enjoy everything about it because I won't have it again at least for a long time. The painting will hopefully be done soon. Then come the next set of decisions--hardwood, tile, carpet, fridge. I want to wave my magic wand and it to be done. :) HA. :)
**I'm breathing major sighs of relief over a decision that we made this week. We decided that it's time for me to slow down on grad school and by slow down I really mean stop until August. I can't keep up with everything that's going on in my life plus that program. I want to enjoy the rest of our engagement because we are only engaged once. I'm tired of not getting any sleep and always being stressed out about it. I just got done with a class and was supposed to start another class in two weeks but I dropped it and then won't take anymore classes till August. I'm grateful....really really grateful. I'm glad that I can just focus on work, transitioning to a new season of life, all the home remodeling, planning a wedding, and to start enjoying more time with family again.

Ebay!

So today I was perplexed by the amount of 'stuff' that we have and had an epiphany moment! To start selling stuff on Ebay....we have tons of stuff that is worth money but has no sentimental value so I started listing stuff on Ebay....we'll see if we have results or not!

Too weird...

So a year ago (to the day!) my painting contractors started working on painting the interior of my home in Warsaw. Tonight exactly one year later our painting contractor and friend is going to start working on our home. Too weird!

I love you snow day :)

Awww.....snow day. While I'm not a fan of inclement weather I was desperately in need of a random day of rest and catching up! I definitely slept the longest this morning that I have in a long time...my body was starting to get really worn out and I have been on the verge of getting sick all week so this time has been wonderful! The rest of my day will be spent on grad school, grading, doing student midterms, taxes, and then the start of high school basketball sectionals! I doubt I'll get all that done but I'll give it my best shot! :)

One final transition! :)

If I could describe engagement in one word I would say "transition". It most certainly has been a time of major transition thus far! Pat and I have decided on one final transition that should allow things to be so smooth from there on out. Pat has decided that it will be way better for us financially and transitionally for me to move into our house at spring break and he will move out into his grandparents house. We decided on spring break because then the weather will be back to normal and the commute won't be bad. This will give us so much time to save money, give me time to adjust to living to the commute, setting up the house, etc. I will be sad to leave living with the girls because they have been so awesome to have me come join their house! But at the same time, I will be glad to start establishing more permanent routines! :)
