On the ball

Wow.
J and I have only been engaged a little over two weeks and I've been on the ball!
We already set a date.

I already GOT MY DRESS! (yep, you read that right. 11 days after the engagement, I got my wedding dress).

And today, I went and purchased "The Ultimate Wedding Planning Kit". I was a little taken back at the cash of the bookstore today, since this wedding kit came to $46. I had been debating whether I should just buy a notebook/journal to write my ideas down for this wedding. But the journals were $20. The nice ones anyway.
So I went with my gut and purchased the wedding planning kit.
What sold me was that the label of the box said there was a checklist in it. As well as a pocket planner.

I opened that book up tonight to take a peek. So much information! It was kind of overwhelming to think that I'll need to fill that whole book out. But I'm glad I bought it. I'd be lost otherwise.

To say that the thoughts about weddings have consumed me is a bit of an understatement. I have been mentally planning things out in my head for months now. But never really spoke of those thoughts. I think people would assume I'm crazy if I were to talk about my wedding if I wasn't engaged.

But I feel like J and I are on the ball with this thing. I have the time right now to actually think of something other than schoolwork. And the earlier we plan this thing, hopefully the less stressed we'll be around the day. (is that too naive? Maybe).
Only 14 months and 4 days to go! And I'm rearing to go.

    1. Thank you! We're excited to see how the plans come along as well, we just worked out the numbers for our budget very recently. It's all becoming real now :)

  2. I want to offer my congratulations to Jen! Very good news. I hope you and J can keep the love alive, and find it within your collective capacity to reinvent yourselves as many times as you need to in order to go the long run. BTW, I am now appearing on AFF as LaurelTreeLady, and true to your observations, I am getting way more profile looks than ever.

      J and I are ready to start our lives together, and I can't wait!

      I noticed the change in profile today as well, but noticed that it's showing up as 57M?
