What a weekend! It was so nice just to get away with friends, relax, and not have a plan. The downside? I think I ate more over the weekend than I did in the whole month of January!!! Oh well, I guess that is what spin class is for! :-) All in all, I would say that Kyle had a pretty good birthday. We did get to taste our wines... and there was not even one gay sweater in sight! Lindsey made the cutest birthday cake that looked like a poker table with cards and chips on the top. Might I add that it was delicious? -- Yes, I actually ate some!
For his birthday, I continued the season of How I Met Your Mother, and I even bought him a poster that was created from the show. It is one of those inspirational posters that you would typically hang in your office and it says: "AWESOMENESS- When I get sad, I stop being sad... and I start being AWESOME!" We both love it.. and he actually asked me for it for his birthday (which he forgot about until I told him I got it for him). Funny how I benefit from his birthday presents... Selfish? Probably so.
Onward and upward!
Okay, so I'm not sure if this is a sudden or gradual change that takes place in the mind/heart of every engaged lady, but I feel more and more married every day. I guess maybe it is the realization of actually getting married and not thinking of you as only one person any longer, but I consider Kyle before making ANY decisions these days. It is CRAZY! If I go to the grocery store, I'm buying 1% milk because I'm afraid that if he gets hungry while at my house, he won't put skim milk in his cereal. Then that prompts me to buy a few extra snacks for him just in case. I've already started shedding layers of my closet to make room for him when he moves in. We're not getting married for another 8 1/2 months!!! Am I nuts? I guess when you are just dating someone you think of them as your boyfriend. You're not really responsible for them, nor them you. You don't share expenses, food, or your house with each other, I suppose you are still pretty independent. But... when you get engaged (or in my case anyway), everything kind of starts to blend together without even realizing it. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE it! It feels like everything is falling right into place. I guess I just didn't realize that it could get any better; that we could get any closer. I'm starting to actually feel like I'm half of one whole if that makes sense. It's great! :)
Oh well... I suppose we'll just have to wait and see!

One Month Down, 9 More to Go!!! ... well 8 1/2 really...
So it is now February and one whole month's worth of planning is out the window. Let's recap: So far I have gotten the reception place booked, decided on the church, hair/makeup stylist, florist, caterer and photographer. I've ordered my dress, veil, and shoes. I've picked out my main colors, menu, and the majority of my decoration ideas. I would say that the biggest decisions/choices are out of the way, but it's not exactly smooth sailing from here on out. There is still so much to do!!!
I'd like to take a minute to rant about one of my least favorite things-tanning in the winter!!! Am I the only one who thinks this is the absolute worst thing EVER??? I was just explaining my theories on this to my friend Lindsey yesterday. I think it is absolutely A-Sgusting to put slimy stinky lotion all over you to get into what feels like an ice coffin in the middle of winter! I'm not sure why it feels so different as opposed to the summer... because I don't mind it in the summer! Especially after the gym (my gym and tanning bed are right beside each other). I like going to the gym, working out, and then walking next door and taking a quick nap before I go home in the summer... but in the winter, I dread it almost as much as a doctor's visit!!! Gross!!!
If boys only knew what it took!
This weekend we are going to be celebrating Kyle's birthday and the Super Bowl. We're going to one of our friend's cabin, and we are going to stay through Sunday. Kyle and Jim (our friend who owns the cabin) had a genius idea of having a wine tasting weekend where everyone brings a wine that they like, or want to try, and we will all go around and try them. Don't get me wrong, I love a good glass of Riesling or something else that tastes more like juice than wine, but the more I think about this, the more it makes me feel funny. Almost like one of those rich snobby people who like to swirl their wine around in their glass like its going to actually do something magical and then talk about the fragrance and the taste of wine like it is a flower or fruit. You know the ones; they wear gay sweaters and tell jokes that no one gets, but everyone laughs anyway because they don't want to appear dumb. Then they take weird cheese (like Gouda) that is most likely rotten because it is so old and talk about how the flavor explodes when the wine and the cheese are combined together! (okay, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit..) Good thing our friends are not like this!!! I'm sure we will have a great time, but I better pack one of those sweaters just in case! ;)
I'm hoping that it snows again this weekend. We were fortunate enough last weekend to be snowed in for almost 2 full days, and I'd love it if father Winter would grace us with his presence one more time before it starts to warm up. Maybe I'm the only one who loves snow days, but it gives you a great excuse to be lazy, drink hot chocolate, and catch up on all of your pre-recorded episodes of the shows you missed out on during the week!
Okay, so I'm running out of random thoughts for the day... later gator!
