So much to say, so much to say...

I think I could probably find a dave matthews lyric to title every blog is I wanted to, but I will spare everyone for the simple fact that unless you are on the dave train, you simply cannot comprehend how awesome he is.

Moving on... Planning a wedding is something I hadn't thought too much about previously. I thought about little random things I may want someday but never seriously considered the whole idea of a wedding and what I wanted to have. Since the process started I have successfully, and I'm not sure exactly how we have done it, but crossed off some BIG things on our list. Like where we are getting married, the amazinggggg photographer (and when I say amazing, I mean I have been stalking her blog for 2 years now), and my dress. All of that was fairly simple for me.... But now, everything is hard. Choosing food, when all I want to do is dance and celebrate at the reception, is hard. I mean, I could eat a taco and be satisfied as long as I got to dance with all my friends and be married.

Flowers?? Like I don't even know what the different types of flowers are called. I know roses, which I know I didn't want and maybe that is because it's the only flower I know what to call. I don't know, but we have ideas and I spend hours looking at pictures online, but it's just hard to make decisions.

So in the meantime, I will just continue working and going through my pilates certification with my friend Amanda because now that process takes TIME. By level four our arm muscles are going to be insane.. so be prepared people.

yep, we're getting married.

So in the whirlwind of a summer that resulted in Kevin and I getting engaged, I thought what better way to remember this next year before we get married then to write about it.

Yep, I'm going to be a blogger for a year. Don't hold me to it though because if there is one thing that I have learned since getting engaged, it is that I barely have time to breathe, let alone play on the internet. But as a fault of mine, I'd chose facebook over laundry any day.

I'll just go ahead and in this first post tell how we got engaged on July 19th 2010. For the entire summer and last 2 years of my life, I can tell you that Kevin has NEVER let on to me that we would potentially get married ANY time soon. He has always led me to believe that when and IF we were to get married it wouldn't be until after he graduated law school (which is 2 years from now) As a girl, my patience was starting to fade I guess you can say. I mean the boy lives in FL and I only see him once a month and my heart hurts every time we leave each other, so the possibility of 2 more years like this was maybe not my favorite thing in the world, possibly yeah okay. BUT when you love someone I think that in the end none of that matters, because life with them is better than life without them.

ANYWAYS, Kevin and I had 3 weddings this past summer that we were a part of. So needless to say wedding and friends getting married were all around us. Still, I figured there was no chance of one happening to me any time soon. Per Kevin, it was not God's timing for us yet. Anyways, we went to his friends Jessica and Weston's wedding that weekend and on the way back from Maryville my mom had texted me asking me if Kevin and I would come over for lunch after church on Sunday because my sister was going to college and my brother and sister in law were coming up as well.. I told her of course and thought nothing of it. (meanwhile Kevin and I are driving 3 hours home and he is acting totally normal!) Sunday morning Kevin picked me up for church and we went as usual and I am clueless to everything. As we pulled into my neighborhood Kevin started talking about staying encouraged in our relationship as he went back to school again and all I can think is "yeah yeah I'm hungry." As we were walking to my front door he starts talking about how when I am proposed to it should be spontaneous and special and blah blah (I can't really remember because I was still thinking about food) and as we got to my front step he looked at me and got down on one knee. I HIT him, like maybe 3 or 4 times. I didn't know what was going on. I said "what are you doing? are you serious? kevin get up!" And then bless his heart he asked me to marry him and put the ring on the RIGHT hand. I thought it was a promise ring haha. But then all my family, his family, and my friends came running out of the house and the bushes and from on top of rooftops, snapping pictures and taking videos capturing so perfectly the best moment of my life thus far.

Kevin Gavigan, I love the heck of out of you. You planned everything so perfectly and made sure everyone important to me was there.

I'm so excited for this next year... Let the wedding planning of one indecisive soul begin.
