Things I'm Loving Lately

The past two weeks have been filled with so many amazing times and so much love. Here are some things that make me especially happy:

*You guys! I can't thank you all enough for your sweet comments and tweets....seriously! I am over-the-moon lately (for obvious reasons!), and feel so blessed to be able to share with this amazing little community! I can't say it enough. A million trillion times thank you.

*The fortune cookie Brian and I got during our first dinner as an engaged couple (because I love signs!)
Thanks, fortune cookie! We will!

*Catching up with some of my very best friends after a much too long absence from one another...and that we accidentally matched!


*Surprise engagement pictures! I suck at blogging lately but basically, Brian scheduled engagement pictures for us (prior to our actual engagement) for while he was home on leave because he didn't know when he'd be back home again. I love love them and can't wait to see the rest! Our photographer is amazing (and I'm thrilled that it looks like she'll be doing our wedding as well)! But what I love the absolute most is that Brian knew that they were important to me and made it happen.


*The fact that Brian has practically moved into my room during his time at home. Sure, there's a bit more clutter than before, but I love every minute of it. :) (I hate that it is coming to an end, but this list is about things I'm loving, not hating.)


*Picking a ridiculous amount of blueberries and peaches...I love fruit season!


*Buying a wedding organizer and making plans. :)


*A sweet gift from Brian's mom (wedding magazines in a cute cupcake bag!) and hand-written (and drawn!) notes from amazing friends.


I'm still not quite sure how I got so lucky!

How super sweet of your boyfriend/fiancé to schedule engagement photos. They're gorgeous!! Also, love the random matching of friends. So fun/funny when that happens.

Jax said...

Those pictures are great!!! :) I want to see moooore! You guys are seriously so adorable! That's really sweet of him to have those scheduled, etc... :)

I'm loving that it's fruit season, too! I always think I eat so much better in the summer...but I really think it's mainly b/c I love fruit! And most of it goes out of season in the winter...and I'm in sweaters..so I feel like a snickers bar is the same as fruit in the winter...haha..

Brittany Ann said...

Your engagement photos turned out beautifully!

Riley/Rachel said...

Wouldn't it have been embarrassing if you said no to Brian when he already had this photography session scheduled? Then he would have had to call the photographer crying and explain to her that you said no.

Well good thing you said yes!

Where is the photo on the swings?!?!

Ams said...

How did I miss this post? I LOVE the pictures... oh my goodness they are gorgeous :)

Lulu said...

Kassie said...

These pictures are absolutely gorgeous, and what a sweet surprise!! SO happy for you!

hrb said...

Your tweets are breaking my heart! So why not just STAY in Arizona, get married earlier (or later) and transfer your school credits to there or Savannah in 6 months? Life's too short to be lonely, plus he'll get paid more if you all get married (plus free housing)! Why wait another year? (Speaking from someone who was in a similar situation)

Ambs said...

OMG you got an organizer! THIS IS SO EXCITING FOR MEEEEE lol
