Something very cool just happened.
D and I were chosen as finalists to win a portrait session from the fabulous Corrine Krogh. We would so love to use the portrait session as a way to have some of our life in Los Angeles present at our wedding in Tennessee. I know it’s annoying but if you could take the time to vote for us, I would so appreciate it. It only take a comment.
Seeing that we were finalists seriously made me...

I got to open my birthday present early.
It was a Harry Potter Box Set! So psyched! I want to go watch all of them. Or talk about them. Or talk about how much has changed in a year.
Sadly, the fiancé gave me my gift, then promptly fell asleep. I have no one to ramble with.
I think I can hear my neighbors having sex. Awkward. And a perfect place to end this. Goodnight.
Dance Moms is back.
My gosh, this show is so damn addictive.
This day, y'all
Seriously one of the longest Mondays I can remember. It’s also one of those days that made me realize why you shouldn’t work with your partner.
In our office there is someone that D is kind of friends with. They are super friendly at work and before I never thought anything of it. But lately, I’ve had to work much closer with her. She is literally the worst person I’ve...
Bloggity Blog Blog: A year end review
I’ve been terrible about updating this blog lately. It’s not that I don’t want to post, it’s just that I haven’t had time to sort my thoughts enough to type out anything. Unless you just want to hear me wavering on weather or not I should have a wedding planner (trust me, you don’t. At this point, even I am tired of pro-con lists).
This year has been kind of...
Best part of the west coast?
I get to celebrate new years four times.
December 2011
I'm so excited to be going home!
I’ve missed my bed and my apartments and my cats. All the sets of families are wonderful in their own way, but D and I have our own life and our own ways of doing things. I like our routines.

Being in Tennessee makes everything seem right.
I love being southern. I love the politeness, even though it’s occasionally fake. I love that I can see my breath when I’m outside. I can’t wait until we are actually in my hometown on Wednesday. I’ve missed my family so much.
Ever have one of those days were you are just over...
Yeah, so there.
Having the same fights with the boyfriend all the time.
Roommate awkwardness.
An insane amount of family drama.
A cubicle mate who always hits my chair.
Budget constraints.
Seriously. I’m done. I’m going home later, standing in the shower until I get all wrinkly. Cuddling under my favorite blanket with whichever cats decides to love me and ignoring...
You know it's true love when...
He braves the rain (and resulting crazy people) to get you Starbucks.

I might be listening to Hanson.
Not at all ironically. Not at all for nostalgiac reasons.
But rather, because those three pretty boys are actually really talented and make music that I enjoy. No shame, bitches.
I wasted a lot of time yesterday looking up random facts about the Hanson brothers. Did you know that all three or currently married with at least two kids? Did you know that Issac and Taylor both got married after...
I will never again get anything done at work now... →
Wishes
D is in Jordan for a week. I wish there had been a little more time between the last trip and this one. I also wish he was a little better at remembering to tell me he was there and safe. I don’t care if a stupid text costs 20 dollars because it’s necessary so I don’t freak out. I wish I wasn’t so prone to freaking out.
I wish that they hadn’t thrown my leftovers...
Date night.
Derek and I have tickets to see Wicked and reservations at some pricey (but hopefully delicious) Hollywood restaurant. I’m vowing to not worry bout money and just enjoy my night with my boy. He leaves for Jordan tomorrow for a week, so I am going to try and stuff a week of togetherness into a few hours.
I’m excited. Yay for fancy date nights.
Tonight consists of wine and reflections.
I’m on the verge of submitting an application to be an intern for a blog that I adore. I’m excited by the process and the potential, but fairly convinced I won’t get it. It’s the curse of being a pessimist.
Just the process of updating my resume and editing things I’ve written though has made me so energized. I miss writing, putting my thoughts in words. I want to...
November 2011
WatchMemphis likes giving Evie baths when she isn’t awake to fight him.
I love the Macy's Parade.
I remember sitting on Thanksgiving mornings watching it while my mom cooked in the kitchen. When I got older, it was the background noise and images as I got ready.
Now, for the first time, I am cooking my very own Thanksgiving for D and I. That’s exactly what I wanted but the lack of family being around and the strangely warm LA weather has made it seem a little less Thanksgiving. The...
I think I might have a thai food addiction.
I’m sure I will burn myself out soon enough though.

I should be sleeping.
But I keep thinking about how in eleven months I am getting married. And 11 months is a long time… it’s almost a year. But for some reason, I feel like I am already behind in the planning process. I’m already trying to play catch up.
I have two cats to take care of and a job. I want to write more since I feel like my words are starting to get rusty. There is a laundry list of...
I had this realization last night that I will be...
As a teen, I said 22 is as old as I ever wanted to get. It still feels so old to me, despite knowing that it isn’t really old at all. I feel like I am still 16.
I definitely didn’t expect to be engaged and cohabitating at 21, but life doesn’t tend to follow plans or expectations.
