I'm Not Very Good At Keeping This Updated!!
So I am saying sorry now to all those who read my blog. It has been almost 2 weeks since I have posted. And I think according to my sister, that is some sort of cardinal sin of the blogging world. But I do have a somewhat good excuse. I am right smack dab in the middle of preseason for soccer. My life pretty much consists of sleeping, eating, and playing soccer. Although I did find time today to go home and enjoy a nice steak, bake potato, and broccoli courtesy of my little brother Scott's birthday (which was yesterday, the 10th). But anyways, there isn't really any new news on the wedding homefront. I have been watching Say Yes to the Dress recently and I can't believe some of the stuff I see on this show. Some girl wanted a dress that was $24,000. Yes, that's right. And her dad didn't want to pay that much so they sold her the dress as is (sold her the one that everyone tries on), even though the lace was ripped, for a little over $15,000. I don't know what I would do if I just had that kind of money laying around. But I can assure you I would not spend it on a dress I am going to wear once. And I apologize to anyone that spent a ridiculous amount of money on a wedding dress. I am not trying to offend you, I just don't agree with it myself. But let's be real, I think there may be one person (shout-out to my sister) that reads my blog anyways. So I think I'm in the clear! :) That's all for now, gotta rest up and get ready for practices galore tomorrow!!

Honeymooning!
I must tell you, looking for a place to honeymoon can be a bit overwhelming. And especially for us since we didn't really have a set destination in mind. My brother Andy told my to be overwhelmed at the enormous possibilities to honeymoon. And boy was he right. After a few trips to the travel agency...we have finally booked our honeymoon. We are going to this place called the Xpu-Ha Palace Resort about an hour outside Cancun, Mexico. I am pumped...and I know that Nathan is as well. We had to put down our deposit today and I had to go get a passport today. I feel like I spent a lot of money, and have nothing to show for it. lol. And we also have to buy Nathan a mattress that will eventually be ours, so being a grown-up is expensive!! But I am so happy and I cannot wait until Nathan and I can be married!!!

And so it begins...
I told myself, and a few of those whose blogs I follow, that I would create one as soon as I got engaged. Well folks, that time has come! And let me tell you, I am soooo very excited!! And I know a lot of people have heard the proposal story, but for those of you who haven't I will share it now.
So on July 6 I was up in Martin hanging out with Nathan at his parents house (his parents are in Maine for the summer). We had decided to make dinner and planned on eating around 6:15 or 6:30. Well, the chicken took a little longer than originally planned and I will be honest and say my side dishes weren't timed perfectly either. So by the time dinner is ready and we sit down to eat it is right before 7:00. And for those of you who know me, you know I am a sucker for cheesy, trashy, reality television shows. Therefore come 7:00, it is time for the Bachelorette. So me being the nice girlfriend that I am, I make Nathan turn on the tv so we can watch it during dinner. Therefore, I messed up his original plans. Oops. So later on that evening we were laying on the couch watching tv and Nathan turns to me and says, "So, you know I love you right?" And I was thinking, yeah ok. And then he says, "So, I have a question for you." At this point, I am still oblivious to everything. He then proceeds to pull out the ring and say. "WILL YOU MARRY ME???" And of course I scream, and yell OH MY GOSH, OH MY GOSH, YESSSSS!! lol. It was a great night, and it was very much Nathan and I, if that even makes sense.
Date: May 15
Time: 5:00
Place: Lambuth Chapel
Reception: Jackson Country Club
So thus concludes my very first blog. I don't really know how all this works so be patient with me and feel free to give me any useful pointers. I will be on here frequently (hopefully) updating my wedding plans.
