Engagement Pics

We had engagements taken on Saturday. Our photographer was Mary Clark and I loved her!! She's great and easy to work with and told us exactly what to do, even if we were chewing 2 wads of bubble gum or holding a rooster! Here is the link to her blog. Go check them out. She's put up a good selection from our shoot. The weather was wonderful and we had fun taking them in clown shoes and all. And I have my almost real ring on! The band is what mine will look like but my diamond is different. 4 more weeks for that to come and I don't get green rings around my finger!!

The Wedding Planner

Guess what......I'm engaged!!!! Yahoo for being engaged. It still doesn't seem real to me some days, Ben asks me often if it seems real yet and I usually reply, "kinda." It sinks in more and more each day and I can't wait to exchange my little green mark (which the fake ring to nicely leaves) on my ring finger for my real ring and hopefully I can seal the dress today (p.s. it's beautiful). I feel like I've got alot done in a week and a half of being engaged. I don't feel too stressed but one day when I was reading through the check list of this bridal guide book I got at one of the dress stores and it lists things you should have done 4 to 9 months ahead (ok don't have that time) and then it has a list for 3 to 4 months ahead (I don't even have that much time). Ben and I went through the check list and marked off things that were in progress and things that we have finished. So according to the lists we've checked off 6 things as complete, 6 are in progress and 18 boxes are incomplete, blank (aahhhhh) and I should be working on the 1 to 3 months ahead list (which has 9 more things). BIG BREATH.......ok it takes baby steps. I can't just pop out and start walking, it takes a little time I have to learn to crawl and then I'll be able to walk. So I'm crawling around right now getting my dress and ideas together. Soon I will be able to walk but not without the help of Benjamin Joseph Sycamore of course.

P.S. Ben is great!! I delegate things for him to do and he's on top of it. I love planning with him, it's great!

P.S.S. I'm sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo glad I'm not in school right now. It would not be a pretty sight.

Fungus Amungus

At work today we were talking about foot fungus and I'm cautious with used shoes and what not. But I did make a purchase at DI that involved shoes and the 1st thing I thought of was ew I hope this person didn't have a foot fungus. The shoes look nice and I'm very happy with the purchase, I have forgotten about the fungus.

I am also one of those germy people. I'm actually not that bad I'll share my food, I'll drink out of someones cup, sharing toothbrushes is gross, I'm a no go for food that has fallen on the ground, and clean kitchen/cooking habits are a MUST (no licking a spoon and using it again to stir the soup, ew). Some day when I get to be a mom I won't worry about my kids being all sanitary I'll let them play in the dirt (I loved that when I was a kid) but I can guarantee you I won't be letting them play with raw chicken!
