Just Maybe..

We may have found our wedding venue! I took Ty to look at the Norton Building in Ruston today. He liked it too. I think that's where we will decide to have it. At this point, I hardly care anymore to be completely honest. I just want to reserve it and get on with our planning, ya know?
I really like that this place is in Ruston because well...I love Ruston. I go to college there, and it's just such an adorable little old Louisiana town. I love it.

So that's that.

On a non wedding related note...

I'm so excited Halloween is coming, because that gives me another excuse to bake cupcakes! I can't wait!

Day Off.

Today is Wednesday..Wednesday is my "day off". I put quotation marks there because it's rarely ever a true day off. Everything I need to get done that week has to get done in one day!

So today, I came home from school and got to searching for more wedding venues. I had been told about a place in Ruston called the Norton Building that was and outside/inside venue, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to go look. My mom and I went to Ruston to check it out, and I must say, it's a pretty neat place. It's not Austin's..but I think it's 2nd best. I'm taking Ty back there with me tomorrow (hopefully) to look at it again. If he's for it I'll put down a deposit while we're there...I can't handle losing a second venue.

Whyyy must I have an outside wedding? Something in me just won't let me not! It's just what I've always wanted!

So, pray this works out for us. I'm ready to move on with our plans.

New blog theme!

So it's been quite a while since I've posted on here, and I've narrowed down the reason why: the range of things of which i can post about is just too large and I can never decide!!

Therefore..
Behold!
My engagement blog!

And..
here we go!


As of right now, Ty and I are a little over 5 months away from being married, and let me just say..I'm seriously impatient!

The planning is stressing me out..it wouldn't be as bad if things would just work out. The venue I fell in love with got double booked, so we lost it. I cried my eyes out! So once we can find something we actually like... I imagine the rest won't be as hard..knock on wood.

I need more outside wedding venues in Northeast Louisiana...
more specifically, I'd like the wedding outside, but a reception area inside. And besides the previous venue i'd picked out, I don't know where that would be.

sighh....

Help me Jesus! :)

Metal Flavored Gum.

For real, this gum is supposed to be Spearmint, but I swear, it tastes very much like metal. I don't even know why I'm still chewing it!

I've had a zombie-esque personality as of late, i dont know why so much, but caring so much about anyone and everything kind of makes me tired! So i get in these stages where I just "turn off" my emotions, so to speak. And I do this completely sub consciously, and don't even realize it until Ty points it out (because he can't stand when i don't communicate well!).

Wedding plans never stop. I don't want to elope, but probably only because i'm stubborn as an ox. Seriously. I dislike all the planning very much, but there's no way i'm going to get married and everyone and their mom not be there to see it.haha...

I'm just ready to be married already!

Dreams

..I'm talking serious, "what do you want to do with your life?" dreams..i'm talking literal, sleeping dreams.

Every single night since I got engaged I have had a dream about either getting married or playing music. This probably because I got engaged on the stage I had played worship on all week long before, and because all I can think about is wedding plans!
I want a normal dream again!

ok wait..
i fibbed. I did have ONE dream not pertaining to weddings or music..
and it was WEIRD.

It was about me racing the world's fastest octopus, supposedly called the "great santa fe", across the English Channel. I absolutely have NO idea where that came from! It was so nutty!

Anybody else have any crazy dreams lately?

Engaged :)

Yes!
Ty asked me to spend the rest of my life with him a week ago today!
That guy...man! He did better than I could have ever imagined.

We were both leaders (and he the worship leader) at a camp we took our youth to last week. We first fell for each other at that very camp, over 2 years ago. It would take me an incredibly long blog post to tell our story...so I'll just post the link to the video of his proposal instead :)

Our Love Story!

All the stuff he was telling me that you can't hear, i don't really remember that much of it either...only because I was just so shocked and excited..haha.

I can't say that I've ever seen a better proposal. He did it perfect (and EXACTLY the way I've always wanted).

I can't wait to get on with the rest of our life!!!

P.S.
Ty's 24th birthday was Wednesday, Happy Birthday Handsome!

Just dropping in to Say..

My laptop is broken, which I haven't updated in so long.
The dc jack in it (charging port) broke on the inside, so I have to send it off to get repaired :(.
I'm borrowing my co workers laptop while she's on her lunch break ;)


I got a new kitten, named Clark, for my 19th birthday. He's adorable.



Also, my sweet heart, Ty, just had lapband surgery today in Dallas. I so wish I could be there with him!! The surgery went well, but he's hurting pretty bad! I miss him and can't wait for him to be home and feeling better!
