This Is...

Jeremy.
He is my brother.

And he

has just left to go to college

in Virginia.
(that's far away)

He is following his dreams

and going to play football for Southern Virginia University.

He is one of the best men I know.
He can charm anyone with his smile.
Play the piano like no one I've ever heard.
Has one of the strongest testimonies.
And maybe I cried like a baby when he left.

I could not be more proud of him for taking this leap.

I love you J!

Ohhh Yeaaahhh

We.
Are.
MARRIED!

*more to follow soon*

my apologies

world of bloggers.

You may have been thinking that I have dropped off the face of the earth.
And you would be right.

I am currently residing in a place called Wedding Land. Right past Engaged Lane and if you've hit Baby Boulevard you've gone too far. (way way too far)
It's totally awesome.
And kind of stressful.

And sometimes I get caught up in the little stressors and forget the big picture.
That I just need to chill out.
And be happy.
Because I am getting married to the love of my life.
And we are going to have the ultimate marriage.

Some things that have been accomplished since our last visit:

took my bridals
had two showers
wrote thank you notes
made and sent out invitations
picked out tables, chairs, sashes, flowers, centerpieces, napkins, food, etc. etc. etc.

Picnic Lovin'

Last week we took charge of that one day of warm weather,

took a little scooter ride

and had ourselves a little picnic.

Registering

is the BOMB.

You get to point your laser gun and zap things
that you want other people to buy for you.

(a Wii may or may not have been the first thing we zapped. we know what's important.)

Whether by Accident or Fate

Last night I got a text telling me to check my email.

He had written me a poem.

He reminded me of how he felt when he met me.

He reminded me of the thoughts he had.

He even reminded me of that night in the beginning we stayed up all night talking - just the
two of us.

I was bawling.

It was perfect.

He had written it three years before he met me.
