Since the proposal.....

Well now that I have announced the exciting news, it's time to catch up on everything that has taken place since then......

Besides all the planning, Evan and I went on a fun long weekend trip to Miami. Yes, it was hot and humid, but it was also beautiful, relaxing, and fun!! :)

I honestly thought he might propose in Miami when we first planned the trip, but am glad he didn't wait that long. It surely turned out to be a relaxing time together, all wedding planning aside for a few days, and sun, sand, and water were on the agenda. I will post a few pictures at the end, but it was a most enjoyable trip. We had great dinners, including one night at Barton G's. If you have never been, it is a MUST go in South Beach. Great drinks, great food, and AMAZING presentation!! We slept in each day, had a late breakfast, spent the early half of the day on the beach and by the pool, then late afternoon walked around to see what else was going on besides at our resort. There was great people watching, great places to eat, and oil-free beaches to be enjoyed! :)

We even made a stop by DASH to see if the Kardashians were there.... sadly they were not, and even more sadly, the store didn't seem to be all that exciting, so we made it a quick stop. It was a fun time and I was sad to come back to Atlanta and to reality, but there are wedding plans to be made! :)

The following weekend Evan and I went home to Mobile to see some venues. We had a fun weekend with mom, but missed dad being there too! Dad was in Chicago moving baby bro into the windy city, but we will see him again in a few weeks! We got alot done and had a fun time. It all started to settle in what a fun time these next 10 months are going to be, and how much fun the end result will be as we get married under the chupah, and party down with the band all night afterwards! :) It was fun to start seeing things as they will be on the special day. In a few weeks Dick and Betti will come to Mobile for the first time and we will start to tie even more details down. This weekend we finally get to see Evan's family since getting engaged and celebrate with his family for his cousin Ben's Bar Mitzvah. So on that note, I will leave you with some pictures from our Miami trip, and go finish some packing before leaving for Omaha tomorrow afternoon!!!

PS, since my FIANCE decided to call me out on spelling mistakes in my last post, I will even go as far as do spell check on this one...... oh my!

Here comes the bride ........ and it's ME!!!!

Well, I officially take back everything I said in the last post about life being boring, and not enjoying being an adult...... life the several past weeks has proven me wrong!!! Life as an adult has most definitely been kicked up a notch, and I am officially the luckiest girl in the world, getting to marry my best friend!!! On July 8th Evan shocked me, suprised me, and made my day, week, month, year, and took the "boring" out of life!!! It's wedding planning time!! What a whirlwind of emotion and excitement this has been. I never realized how hectic and busy this really could be. Evan had PERFECT timing, and suprised me with an engagement the night before we were heading home to see my entire family. In conversation a few months ago I told him that if we ever got married, I wanted my engagement to be an absolute suprise, and oh boy it was!! I told him I am nearly impossibly to suprise, but want that one day of my life to be a complete suprise - mission accomplished!! I had also mentioned i would love for my family to either be in town or get to see them soon after, because this momma and daddy's girl couldn't go long without seeing her parents after a big moment like that, and again, he succeded in that goal!! The actual engagement I will not share with, if you haven't heard it already, let me know and I would be happy to share, but im not going to blog about it! :) I truly am such a lucky girl, and can not to begin the rest of our lives together as husband and wife in several months. I am joining another wonderful and close family just like my own, and I could not be more excited to soon be a Robinson!! In addition to the family I have always had and been so close to and love so much, I am marrying into another wonderful family, and am so excited!! I even get two precious nieces and one handsome nephew out of the deal!! :) So all in all, i would say this summer has turned into QUITE the busy time. I will not share wedding details here, because i don't think the entire world wide web needs ot know them, however, soon we will have a wedding website to share all the details with our family and friends!! In the meantime, its planning, planning planning.... bands, venues, florists, caterers, colors, dresses, and cakes, oh my!!! In the end, I get the best prize of all.... spending the rest of my life with my best friend!
