Update on married life

I know, I know. I am not a diligent blogger. It's not that I don't have good intentions or even good ideas, it's just that there are about a thousand things that come first on my to-do list. Oh well. I wanted to write an update on our lives for the friends and family that I don't get to talk to very often or that live far away (I miss you,...

Flashback to the WORST DAY OF VACATION EVER

Long time no blog! This semester has been really busy with school and wedding-planning and frankly, I haven't felt like my life has been all that interesting aside from those things so I haven't had much I felt like saying. I was looking through my FB pictures recently when I stumbled upon photographic evidence of the worst vacation ever...

Musings on "engagement"

While here at Supercamp, I made a friend who is fairly recently married. The advice that she gave me was to really take the time to enjoy the engagement period, because it's a very special time in your relationship that is unlike both dating and being married. The first time that she said it, I was not sure exactly what she was talking about. I mean, we're planning a wedding. That's different. We're planning on moving in together....

Wedding planning all day, err'day

Unfortunately there will be few pictures on this post because I don't want to give away things! When Joe and I got engaged, we knew that we wanted a short engagement.

We were really excited to have a weekend to get away together before I leave for camp and since we haven't gotten to go on a vacation together in a long time. We left at six in the morning on Saturday (yikes!) so that we could...

Apparently I caught on fire and didn't know it.

I was not planning on updating this again until after this weekend. Joe and I are going on an anniversary trip to Chicago for the weekend, which will be super fun. I was intending for that to be my next post, but as I was packing for said trip, I discovered something horrible. Flashback to last month. Semi-formal was the first weekend in...

Why Joe and I will never own a bakery

About a month ago, I asked Joe if he would make brownies for a party we were going to while I got ready. He begrudgingly agreed to make them and I went to my room to get ready. Once I was ready, I came out to cut the brownies and found that they looked really... strange. I wish I had taken a picture because it's hard to explain what they...
