I love my fiance. :)

He is just such a sweetheart. I got so lucky when we met and way luckier when we got engaged. Is it standard to have your love, like, triple when you get engaged?? I never thought I could love him more than I did a week ago. As it turns out, I could. I just can't wait for marriage.

Now, for the wedding planning... does anyone have advice for a complete wedding-planning-idiot?! I seriously have no clue what to do! I don't even know where to START!

Oh, facebook.

These are the ads showing up on my facebook now that I'm engaged. I wish I could say I'm annoyed about it... but any reminder that I'M ENGAGED!!!! is just too exciting to be mad about. Off to have birthday cake with my adorable FIANCE! Happy Sunday to you all!

sparkle, sparkle, sparkle

Know what happens when you have a perfectly cut diamond on a gorgeous ring? It sparkles a lot and you can't really stop looking at it. And then you can't get much done, like preparing to give a 20-minute talk in church and baking your FIANCE'S birthday cake. But that's okay because I'm ENGAGED, and I just don't really care. :)

Here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:






PS, I did get the talk written and the birthday cake + cupcakes (yes, I did both) baked. I also got groceries bought and I visited my adorable FIANCE (sorry, still trying to get used to the word) at work because I all of a sudden want to be around him way more than I used to. Funny how that goes...

best day of my life!

I. AM. ENGAGED.

I will blog later with all the amazing details and a picture of my perfect ring. For now, this is all you get. I need to go be with my FIANCEE now!!!!!!!

Back to Public

Bear with me. I'm hoping it's been long enough that the hatefuls and the creepies are gone and I can publicly blog in peace. If not, we'll go permanently back to privacy, which I hate . I'd much rather my name be on your blog rolls.

Especially since I've got slews of fun and good news to share! I need the widest audience possible!

1) I'm going to Tulsa Oklahoma in March with the Traveling Team of Trial Advocacy! I am insanely excited about this opportunity and I can't wait to go!
2) I'm going to New Orleans, Louisiana with the ADR in February for an Arbitration Competition!
3) I'm TAing for a negotiation class which I absolutely LOVE!
4) I'm running a 1L-Only Negotiation Competition this semester, and I just can't wait! It is such a blast! In two days we already have 10 teams signed up, and that is seriously awesome!
5) I start training this week to be a Kaplan Test Prep teacher!!!
6) I am almost finished with my bar application!!!! (This gets a lot of !'s because it's been a freaking HUGE chore!) Also, I'll be signing up for my bar prep course this week - I will be so glad to have all of that out of the way!!
7) I am going to San Diego, California in February for Adam's sister's wedding! And I'm going to DISNEYLAND with his siblings!!! (Have I mentioned that I LOOOOOVE Disney?!) Also, we're going to be flying down together... our first flight together in 4.5 years of dating!
8) I'm only taking ONE class this semester and it is a total blast! I should have had this relaxed of a schedule a long time ago!

That's all for now. But such good happy news!
