It’s October! October!! The beginning of the holiday season…I swear it feels like I was just at the beach for the Fourth of July! There’s a crispness in the air when I head to work in the morning and the sun is not shining as brightly because it’s still sorta dark outside. I hate that my favorite season is moving upon us so quickly because I know it will be over soon! I’m trying to slow down and enjoy it!
The Last few weeks have been filled with thoughts of my wedding day! Today we have officially 330 days till the big day. I’ve been going to the gym here and there, though not as much as I should. I’ve been scheduling appointments, searching for bridesmaid dresses, and buying little things for the big day. On another note I FINALLY got my engagement ring fixed!! Lee surprised me and tricked me! He told me I wasn’t going to be able to have it fixed until next week and I was really bummed because I have several wedding-ish appointments this weekend and didn’t want to show up ring-less. I came home last night and reminded Lee that he needed to try to keep the house as clean as possible this weekend…He said “Look, I already cleaned the counter..” and he pointed to it. I said “No, you didn’t!” He said “Yes, I did!!” I looked over at the stove and my ring was sitting in the soup ladle thingy all shiny and beautiful! I’m so happy..my finger has been without ring for almost two months. I feel like a newly engaged woman again!
Last weekend, Hope and Bobby came to stay with us! I needed my Hopey. I needed a girlfriend. I have Julie and Brandy, but I needed my Hope. Friday night we drank a few beers and dove DEEPLY into Apples to Apples. I got my fix of board games for the weekend..I love them. Saturday, Lee and Bobby went fishing on the pier and Hope and I went in search of bridesmaid dresses. I found the dress that I’ve been in love with for over a year. Longer than Lee and I have been engaged. I’ll blog more about that on my wedding blog. Saturday night we took them to Lucky Oyster for some O-SO-YUMMO She-crab soup! Amongst other things…it was SO good. We were going to go to the haunted hay-ride but we were all so exhausted we decided to head home instead. But, not before stopping off at Target. Hope bought Lee and I a lamp! Are you kidding me?? Our cats had broken our other lamp so when you walk into the house its pitch black and you have to walk to the kitchen or the staircase to turn on a light. This bothered Hope, so she bought us a Swanky new lamp! Woop! Thanks, girl! Sunday, Hope and Bobby got an early start. I was sad to see them go but I will be seeing Hope all weekend..as I am headed to Roanoke in t-2 hours! Yay!
One thing I’m really bummed about lately is not having a camera. I’m going to have to just buy one. I’m just going to do it. I’m having a hard time living without it. This weekend I’m going to go back to old faithful..and the Kodak disposable cameras. They get the job done..most of the time. We will see. Everyone have a safe and happy weekend!!
