life right now

Diy projects, wedding planning, shopping, painting, packing, sick days, snowed in days, work days...so much happening. But there's only 35 more days till I'll be done with all of this and beginning my new adventure in life.

I. can. not. wait.
Being in love is the best thing ever! ♥

Listening to this over and over. My favorite right now!

loves day

Today I've been making pretty little things out of hearts...writing little love notes...getting ready for tomorrow.

One of my favorite holidays is Valentines Day...something so fun about a day that's set apart just to say "i love you" Although I think love is best demonstrated in the everyday of life, valentines day is still special. Last year I didn't like it. This year I'm thinking differently being engaged to the most incredible guy.  Gives a whole new meaning to the day.

Listening to You & Me by Penny and the Quarter while working. This song makes me smile.

leaving january

One of those days I can't get anything accomplished off my long to-do list...so many distracting things, phone calls, thoughts....seems impossible on days like this that I'll ever get anywhere! And of course, being on here wasn't in my priorities today, but who cares!

I'm so excited January is almost over. usually I don't want it to end because it is one of my favorite months, but I want it to be over because that means it will be one month closer to spring, and closer to getting married!  All the sudden time seems to crawl and I can't stand it!  Was looking through my phone pictures this morning from this past month...lots of favorite pictures...lots of special memories made. It was a good month, but I'm so ready for February!

Now about getting something done yet today.....Happy Monday ♥  

today:

Loving today despite the fact that I woke up sick. Not letting that spoil my day. Loving this winter day, loving the coziness of being inside where it's nice and warm!

Working on wedding planning today..lots of phone calling, texting, searching online...feels so unreal to be planning *my* wedding.  Enjoying every moment of it. Loving that there are only 80 days until our wedding!!!!!

Loving the fact that when I look outside my window there is snow on the ground. I love that so much!
Listening to this song today:




Happy Tuesday♥

hello 2013

This year started off so unexpectedly and so perfect.  My Jacob asked me to marry him on New Years Eve.  Happiest moment of my life and a dream come true! God has been so good to me in bringing our lives together. I love how God has written our story over the past few years and has now brought us to this. Jacob is everything and so much more then I've ever dreamed of. He's become my best friend and companion over the last few months. I love him so much, and to now think that soon I'll get to spend the rest of my life with him...that someday soon I won't have to tell him goodbye, only goodnight...that I'll get to spend my every waking hour with him.  Excited and happy doesn't say it enough. I'm the luckiest girl in the world! ♥   

Loving the newness of it all. Loving the special-ness of it. Loving the idea that someday soon I'll be his wife. Loving being so incredibly happy! ♥

Oh..did i mention that it snowed New Years Eve?!!

This year is going to be the best year ever!

the most wonderful time of the year

And just like that the Christmas season is over! Such a wonderful time of the year though....i have so many special memories to treasure from it. I know I didn't finish up all my photos from each day of December, but they're all in here...all my favorites from the last week of Christmas.  time spent with family, snow, delicious food, lots of special dates with my guy, pretty sights, warm drinks...so so much. I love looking through all the photos taken over and over again. It really was a magical christmas! ♥   Hope yours was too!

And now it's on the the New year!

this weekend

12.15.12 - 12.17.12

Yup, spent the whole weekend sick in bed. And when you're sick in bed, there's not much take a picture of. Still not completely over what ever it is I have but at least I'm not stuck in bed now, and that thought alone makes me feel so much better!

12.18.12

Paper whites - flowers my mum grows around Christmas. I think they're so pretty..and it's so nice to see a blooming flower in December!

Only 6 more days till Christmas!!
