Tying the Knot

I would like to say that I've been so busy and I just didn't have time to blog, but I simply got out of the habit. I've been blessed this last semester of my college year with a very flexible and open schedule! I've taken only two exams this semester (aced them both), and can say with pleasure that I only have two more exams before graduating. These will be sign language and deaf cultures, and are final exams. With my free time, I've struggled with productivity. I can say that this semester so far I have accomplished the following...

-Watched the entire season of The Mindy Project in 3 days

-Gained enough sleep for about a year

-Eaten about a hundred lean cuisine pepperoni pizzas

-Worked on homework an average of only 3 days per week

-Started the Insanity workout regimen (hopefully will complete)

-Spent lots of time imagining my married life and wedding :) 

(Typical date night with Brent)

Just in case you were all wondering, I'm going to be a wife in 86 days! I cannot wait for all of the festivities! I've already received some gifts, and it's so exciting! You all may not be thrilled about receiving kitchen tools and towels as gifts, but they symbolize my new adult life with Brent! These things will belong to us, and will assist us in the new exciting daily routines that we will be able to experience together for the first time! These kitchen tools will allow me to cook for my husband, and for he and I to bond over our love for food. The throw pillows and candles will create the ambiance in the new place that we will both call home. It's exciting to me that we will come home to the same place and will make our first married memories together with these belongings! 

Some of the many things I'm looking forward to in marriage!
