8 days
8 days until I say “I do” to the only man I will be with for the rest of my life. So generous, kind, gentle, handsome, strong, hard-working, passionate, fun, unselfish, + smart. 8 days until I marry my soul mate – the father of my children, my partner in crime, the one that I’ll grow old and gray with – and we’ll be loving every minute of it.
I’m so excited that I feel like my heart is bursting at it’s seams. 4 years has flown by so fast! Words cannot describe the love in my heart for this man…he is truly everything I could ever ask for and more. Thank you Robert Argeanton for all the warmth, love, and happiness you have brought to my life – I promise to give all of that to you for the rest of my life.
A More Perfect Union
Melissa gave me this book as a gift when I was in Dallas and I just started reading it last night. It’s totally making sigh in relief, since I think I’m reacting to being engaged just like the main character in the book. I don’t have my “perfect” day planned out in my head, I have no idea what to do in terms of flowers, dresses, budget, location and almost find it revolting altogether since I’m so busy with other things in life.
Bobby and I are from opposite sides of the country and don’t have a specific place we REALLY want to get married. We want to do something nice, but not go overboard, we do not want to be stressed but find ourselves totally stressing out when trying to make any major decisions. The wedding industry totally does that to people though – making you think you have to make it perfect and fabulous and over-the-top. I want it to be a day I remember forever, not a stress-filled day of craziness that leaves me wiped out and exhausted.
Anyway – I’m super excited to keep reading this book and find out what she decides to do with her wedding. Maybe it will put things into perspective for me and help me handle it Shellie-style. Thank you Melissa for the wonderful gift. I really needed a new book to read as well. Muah!
Missed Wedding, London, & the Vera Wang Show
I just got Lance Lalanne and his girlfriend Casie’s invite to their wedding March 29th and I’m so bummed we can’t go. We never got a save the date card and it was just too late of notice to get it now. :(
Bobby has to work 2 midnight-8AM shifts that weekend for a major website release at work. If we would’ve had more notice we would’ve tried to talk to Bobby’s manager about scheduling someone else for that weekend but now it’s kind of too late to do that. We were really looking forward to going too…the wedding is near Mandaville, LA which is where Bobby’s family lives…and it’s been TOO long since we’ve been down there to visit, so it would’ve been really nice to go see the family…I guess we’ll have to pick another weekend. This month will be hectic with the London trip.
Yes, I did say London. :)
Bobby’s getting sent to London for work the first week of March so I am going to fly over there the second weekend he’s there and meet up with him. I’ve never been to London so I’m REALLY excited!! We’ve been looking online for a couple weeks trying to figure out what we can do and where we can go in the short amount of time we’re there. I’m sure it’ll be awesome! I still have to book my flight though…
Oh and I never told you guys about my weekend…which really, the only thing to tell is about Sunday night, when I went with Jess Large to the Trump Tower for the Chicago Style Wedding Expo…it was sooo much fun. There was a Vera Wang runway show, lots of champagne and all the brides to be got enormous “swag bags” that were full of goodies from all the wedding vendors. But I’ve never seen one this big. Anyway my project manager Jill and her friend Amanda were there and bumped into us so we hung out with them all night and ended up at Howl at the Moon singing and dancing. haha. I’m sure I made a fool of myself, but I had a great time and it was good to see Jess. We live 5 minutes from each other but don’t see each other enough!
I guess I ought to go to bed it’s 1AM. Night night. Sleep tight.
