Oh The Place's You'll Go

As a little girl I always thought about how great a wedding day would be, and how badly I couldn't wait for my own. There's just something about the expensive dress, the pretty hair, the cute groom, the bling but most of all, the pictures. I can't get enough of it. I'll admit, I'm a little bit of a facebook wedding stalker. I LOVE when the little heart show's up and say's so and so is "in a relationship" or "engaged to so and so". I ALWAYS click to see if there's a picture of the ring, pictures of the engagement and later I look for the engagement pictures, bridals and wedding pictures. It's my favorite thing to do! Even Jim knows. Every time on of those little red heart shows up on his news feed he always let's me click through the album (one of the many reasons why he is the greatest man in the world).
But this weekend it was my turn, and I couldn't get enough. We had my super wonderful sister-in-law Winter do our engagements (http://piperpix.blogspot.com/). I wont lie, I was a little camera shy at first (WEIRD) but when she said "Ok I think we are done!" I looked at her and was like "are you sure?" I was having sooooo much fun. Jim couldn't have been more thrilled because he missed half the Suns game (GO SUNS!)
As I've sat and thought about how much fun I've had with this whole bride thing, I found myself thinking about how much fun my life has been since I've had Jim in it!
Jim and I met at the end of October at a bonfire in the desert. Who would have thought that I, the girl who likes shopping and fashion and go on vacation to hotel's on the beach, would find the man I'm going to marry wearing plaid flannel, at a bonfire, in the middle of the freezing cold desert. I hate plaid flannel, I hate the dirt/being dirty, and I hate being cold. But what can I say, he was a stud from the beginning. I mean look how close he is sitting to me! I should have known something was up with this one.

7 months later look at us. Engaged, am I old enough for this? This question runs through my mind daily, but there's something about that boy that reassures me yes, I AM old enough for this.

Look how far we have come! You know when you hear people say "I never thought I could love you more", and then you want to vomit? Ya, I have been having one of those moments lately. After we took our engagement pictures I was amazed by Jim. Not that Jim doesn't amaze me on a regular occasion, because he does, I've just been really amazed by him lately. Maybe It's because I'm out of school and so I have way more time to focus on what he does for me, or say's to me. When we were taking our engagement's I think everything became real to me. I am really getting married. Not only am I happy about it but HE is happy about that. That alone makes him my hero, it should make him your hero to! I'm not the most easily pleased, but he does it for me no matter what! He knows how to handle me when I'm upset about something, or when I'm mad at him. This doesn't happen that often, but when it does he is a rock star! Then I become not so mad and realize how great he is, and again, I fall in love all over again. Ok I'm sorry this post was just so mushy gushy , huggy kissy face, but it's my blog, and no one is making you read it! I hope you enjoy! At least this one has some pictures on it, and a link to more pictures.

I swear it takes a master's degree to upload pictures onto this stupid blog situation. I'm still learning, forgive me people!!

Cute, Kens. I love hearing about you and Jim, seeing as how I've never really met him. I'm excited to though. He sounds so great! And amazing pictures--I love them and want to see more!
