Day 26: My Dream Wedding

By -
This post may be brief since I need to go to bed!

Today has been filled with fun: Abby's 4th birthday, holding Micah, hott date with Ashley, and a Broadway Singalong party with friends and cool new people. I think that's my theme for this year - making new friends. I LOVE IT.

Anyways, my dream wedding...oh, how much I have thought about this!

However, rather than boring you with color schemes (I can think of about six) or venues and favor ideas and who knows what all else, I'll just sum up the things that are really important to me.

The groom is the most important, currently unknown as he may be. I have all kinds of hopes for him, but mostly that he is a strong man who will lead me closer to God through our life together and who will protect me and love me as best he can.

There will be a wonderful photographer so that I have tons of great pictures to remember every single detail by. Currently hoping that will be Daniel Kim, as I don't think I've seen a picture of his that I don't like. I know there are others out there, but he's got something special.

Our reception will be a blast, and everyone will dance and laugh and enjoy. It's a PARTY to celebrate a really exciting day of my life and I want everyone to enjoy it. I'm going to do my darndest to plan it so well that everyone is up and dancing and having fun.

I will have a princess dress. The latest incarnation of my dream dress is this one, hastily photoshopped by my sister. Chances are my mind will change six million more times, but hey, this one is pretty to look at!!

There will be flowers, too. I love flowers. What kind will depend on the color scheme, but like I said, I won't go into the many possible iterations.

There will be fantastic music - hopefully live, as I have so many musician friends hungry for work. :) A lot of it will be Disney love songs, just cause it's me. And Broadway. And swing. And country. And jazz. And...the music will be great, we'll leave it at that.

All in all, I know it's just a day, but it's gonna be a great day. I want the end result to be something like what Taryn said after hers. "I wish I could get married every day! ...to the same guy, of course." I want it to be enjoyable by all, a celebration of starting the rest of my life with my beloved other half.



If you ever do want to hear about my many actual detailed ideas, feel free to ask. Typical girly me would love to share!

Well, it's been a hot minute since we've been here, hasn't it? More like a hot almost-half-a-decade. How embarassing. Live, blog, live again! I am here to resuscitate you! And I'm impressed with myself for spelling that right on the first try, because I haven't had to type anything at all in so long. Or write. Being a mom of two tiny toddlers is a good way to make you lose all the skills you thought you'd mastered (like speaking in complete sentences and using a pencil) and making you competent in a lot of new categories, like "maintaining a soft voice and pleastant expression while repeating yourself ad nauseum" and "picking up 50 noodles one by one off the floor because the broom would just smear them everywhere." Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, blogging. I've found myself with an itch to start writing again, and I remembered that I used to write on here quite frequently, so I thought I'd give it another shot. We'll see if

Day 3: My First Love

I was home, eating dinner, and done with my homework by 8 pm tonight! Delight! This means I can actually sit down, relax, and take some time to blog before studying, and I might actually get to sleep at a decent hour. I've got my steaming mug of creamy hot cocoa and a package of ho-hos, I'm good to go! I admit that today's blogging challenge left me quite perplexed. My first love? What on earth will I write about? There are so many answers! This is largely due to the limitations of the English language (which I mentioned in point #3 a few days ago), which allows us to use "love" for all manner of things and dilute its meaning. Yes, there are more options than exist for "sorry," but culture dictates that rather than saying, "I really enjoy, delight in, like, find charming," etc, we say, "I love it!" So, I started thinking. What are my options here? Well, the Sunday School answer is always Jesus. I don't mean that in jes

My First Menu Plan

By -
I'm really rather anxious to start a new blog, now that I'm all married and stuff.  A grown up, big girl, married woman blog.  Where I talk about how great life is with my husband as we learn to smush two lives into one, and do domesticky things like post my menu plans and talk about budgeting and making my house a home and whatnot.  And occasionally still ramble on nonsensically and make up words. Really, though, JW and I are quite happy, and the point of this post is to post my menu plan.  It's a thing I'm attempting - as well as very moderate couponing.  And by that, I mean actually using coupons.  No extreme couponing here.  The only reason I'm posting this is it gives me a way to keep myself accountable by having it out there, and I can link to recipes if necessary. So, the as-yet-unapproved-by-John list is: Saturday lunch: with mom and dad (Costco samples!) dinner: lentil tacos Sunday lunch: sandwiches dinner: chili cheese tater tot casserole, John's b
