Herein are the minute newsly details and my random thoughts of the week thus far.

Some people post nothing and get 15 comments, other people post nice things often and no one cares to comment. I never post, so I'm sure that's why I fall in neither category, really.

Being a bride can be NUTS. I'm having fun most of the time, though.

I don't like mean people. There's this mean girl at work who is almost always just so mean! Mean people usually don't look you in the eyes. Neither does she. If she did, she'd feel bad and then maybe she couldn't be so stinking MEAN all the time.





Blake got baptized on Sunday and Ben and I got to be there. That was boss. :)

I've got more to do at work than I can do.




Ben is pretty much amazing. <3 (Here's a picture of him doing a somersault at the St. Louis Arch on New Year's Day! Do you think he was getting excited about something?!) ;^)... )

Ben taught Sammy (my cat) to climb the dresser. Ahh!

So, it's been a year since my friend Katie Hartke died. :( There was an auction and a dance in her memory to raise money for music scholarships. It was pretty fun. That was just on Saturday. I should post some pics. It was great to see so many of my SAI friends.

I'm going dress shopping Saturday. Woot! (I mean, honestly... what does that mean anyway?) Pray that I find the dress of my dreams at a price I can afford. I think the dress shopping is the thing I'm most overwhelmed about. There are just SO MANY dresses to chose from. What do you do? I mean, how do you know? Oy!

Peace out!

I added some pics for your viewing pleasure.

Yes, It's true.

Hello all,

I'm so sorry it has been so long since I have updated all of you lovely people. I wanted to write when Ben and I had our amazing 6th month anniversary date, etc. but life was so busy trying to complete my basic statistics class!! I was in class two nights a week and studying like mad every other night. Weekends are always busy, too but I think if I really wanted to, I guess I could have, eh? At any rate, occasions like this come along once in a lifetime, so I suppose I better post it. In case you haven't heard...

BEN AND I ARE ENGAGED!!

Yes, it's true. He proposed late at night on a walk out at my parents house while the moon was almost full and very high in the sky. It was very romantic and I didn't see it coming that night AT ALL!! It was just Monday, January 1st, a very special and sentimental day for us. I'm beaming all the time and I have the most beautiful ring ever (of course, I'm probably biased)! Check out these pics and ask me sometime why the ring is so special:





We're looking to get married in July and I'll let you know when we set the date!

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. - Ephesians 1:3
