for one second,

lets pretend I probably shouldn't be eating too many sugary sweet things in preparation for fitting into that big white dress in the (somewhat) near future.

But I am really craving one of these babies right now:

peach italian soda

+ a little cream

yes

PLEASE

But instead I just had canned pears and cottage cheese,

not exactly what I was looking for, but I guess it'll have to do.

the best laid plans of mice & carly

So, by complete and utter happenstance, David and I have had classes at the same time every day this past winter semester:

Monday: 8 AM

Tuesday: 9:30 AM

Wednesday: 8 AM

Thursday: 9:30 AM

Friday: no class

I promise we figured this out after we had both set up our schedules for the semester and it was purely coincidental that our class times coincided.  

Alright, spring semester.

We both set up our schedule (tentative in my case) and AGAIN we both start class at the same blessed 8 AM hour every Tuesday/ Thursday.

So far this has been the drill:
he drives to my place in the morning and parks by my apartment

(he lives too far away to walk and would drive anyway, and I live 2 blocks from campus)

and then we walk together to the Tanner 

(where we both have all our classes, 

him for being a legit Accounting student 

and me for being the red headed stepchild of the Marriot School as a Rec. Management student).

Well this whole walking to class together has been a fine and dandy routine, and I've really grown rather fond of it.

So now I'm setting up my fall classes for next year.

(Ya know, when we'll be married!)

And this time I'm actually trying to set up my schedule to match his.

And I'm failing miserably.

The irony of it all.

dear all,

I thought you'd all be very proud and happy to know that we have

(finally)

set a date for our wedding!

Whew!

It only took a month after he popped the question to iron out all the kinks,

but, due to incredible perseverance and a group effort,

we finally did it!

Who knew choosing a date for this shindig would be so much work? 

So without further ado,

feel free to circle,

put a gold star by

it's gunna be a great day

p.s. today was also that last day of classes for winter semester - time to celebrate!

the whole world

is it just me or is everyone getting engaged**???

I think at least 10 Facebook updates have popped up on my news feed within the last 3 days and I've read countless numbers of engagement story blog posts/
stalked facebook albums of engagement pictures recently.

the whole world is falling in love,

and here I was thinking it was just me

but here's the kicker:

all these darling couples who are planning to tie the knot only days
(okay, almost a month)
after i got a ring on my finger...are planning to get married in
JUNE.

how come we decided to do this whole wedding thing at the end of the summer?
August feels oh so far away at the moment.

oh yeah, we've got internships and stuff.

lame. 


** or going on a mission - I'm up to at least 15 girlfriends who just got their calls to everywhere from Japan to Indiana

another gem

"a happy future wife, 

makes a happy future life."

he's a fast learner ;)
