these past few days

two days ago, i had the most relaxing day ever. i treated my brother to bahama bucks, which is this really yummy shaved ice stuff. 

in return, he treated me to chick fil-a, which i've been craving for days now. i'm obsessed with lemonade and theirs is the best. i also got my nails painted an obnoxious bright pink with these pretty sparkles because it was just that kinda day. 

also, there's just under two months until the wedding. and i still have half a million things to get done. typical bride talk. but yesterday, after shopping around for a while now, i finally found the perfect pair of shoes i wanted for the big day. exciting, right?! :) and, i went to starbucks with the girlies only to find out that they had free caramel macchiatto's which is my favorite.drink.ever. so my day = made.

the beginning

i don't know exactly what i was doing before the fiance showed up in my life. if i can remember correctly though, i spent late summer nights making a bucket list with my best friends over frozen yogurt. we swore we'd make that summer memorable. but then, that list was never finished. neither were any of the exciting things we'd written down because life came in the way. but in the best of ways.
it was early june when I talked to him for the very first time. and i swear i knew in my heart from that first phone call that this was it. he was the one i was going to marry. he was handsome and funny and kind and generous and just everything that i had always wanted. it was a little over a month later, in late july, when we made things official. when he gave me the ring and i gave him my heart.

we've been engaged almost 8 months now, but on the 25th of may, we'll tie the knot. and then i'll be off to atlanta, where we'll start our lives together. and if you want, you can join me on this journey, too. i can't wait to experience life with him, and my future in-laws who are awesome, by the way. i also can't wait to document the important things here, where i'll always have them to look back on and reminisce. i hope you'll stick around and come along for the ride. :)
