Engagement
Sparklers for Engagement Pictures
As I have already mentioned, we are having engagement pictures taken the weekend of June 8th! So excited!!!!
Last week, I ordered some sparklers for our night time session that we plan to do downtown. I thought it would be cool to try and capture a heart or do something cool with them! I am just a little nervous and excited for them to get here! I had to send them to my offic address because I was afraid they would not fit into my tiny apartment mailbox! I hope they come soon! It seems like they are taking an eternity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

21 Month Anniversary!
Today is our 21st month anniversay of being together. In order to celebrate today, I will share with you the story of what brought us together...
It was August 15th, 2010 and Taylor had been working/helping my dad and grandpa finish up the wheat harvest. I had only rode in the tractor with him once since he started on August 12th. However, about 3 months earlier, we just had graduated high school together from the small town of Gackle, North Dakota. There was only 12 in our graduating class, so we were all like brothers and sisters, and we agreed that we would never date one another, because it would "just be weird". (Not to mention we all had known each other since kindergarten.) Little did I know, I would end up marrying one! We started texting a lot that summer. We talked about going out a couple of times, but it never evolved into anything and usually never worked out since he was always busy farming. However on August 15th, we planned to go out. He was being sort of strange that day and he canceled once on me, but then changed his mind as said that we can go to a movie (he now claims that was his nerves talking). We ended up going to the movie "The Expendables". I honestly, had no idea what was going to happen or what he had in mind or if he even liked me. During the middle of the movie, he offered to hold my hand, which completely shocked me, since I thought this date was only supposed to be two friends going out, although, secretly I hoped for more. After we got back to my farm, we drank sparkling water and took a short walk outside where he kissed me under the stars on that warm August 15th night. Normally, I never kiss on a first date, but I guess it was worth it! And the rest is history! Happy Tuesday everyone! xoxo |

Wedding & Honeymoon
Found a place to stay for wedding and honeymoon
We plan on staying at the Kauai Palms Hotel in Lihue, Kauai. It looks like a decent place. It is definetely not fanciest place, but it is very afforadable for Hawaii. For $105 per night, you get a king sized bed, kitchenette, and the regular hotel ammenities. I think it is a great price. We can even save money by cooking our own meals with the kitchenette, because eating out every night gets expensive, espically over there! From the pictures, it looks cute, clean, and like it would be a great place for honeymooners and couples on a budget!
Here is the link for the hotel: http://www.kauaipalmshotel.com/ Have any of you ever stayed here?? Was it a nice place? |

Ask a Question
DRAMA!!!!!
In December (the 22nd) of 2011, my fiance asked me to marry him and everything was going great. Until he exploded infront of my parents. I was so embarrassed. My dad stood up and said the wedding was off and I was so confused over who to stand up for. It was over religion because my family and I go to church on Saturday and he on Sunday. He and I had things pretty nailed down to a tee, but I keeped ragging on him and so did my parents. He felt pressured. Plus, I keep on bugging him about what I was going to do after college. (I didn't have a job lined up yet however, I am currently working at a wonderful place now). BUT... he should have been more mature about the whole situation, I feel. (He is almost a year younger than I). My FH and I even broke it off for awhile in early January, but got back together a week later.
Now, my parents are willing to let him come over again and start over. On the other hand, my fiance, is not willing to come back over to my parent's house, no matter how much I beg him. I just cried on the phone to him last night, begging him that he should try, at least for me. We are now planning on getting married in Hawaii, in November/December of 2013 just the two of us. He feels that it is too far away and wants to get married sooner, Now that I have an awesome job in my career feild and living about 100 miles away, and have a year lease on an apartment until next April (2013). He also farms so I was thinking of him and his less busy time which would be November/December. I also want to save up money for wedding and married life. I would also like his and my parent's relationship to be a little more mended. What to do?!?!?! HELP!!! So depressed about this situation. I really don't want to dump him and forget about everything. I love him so much! |

Wedding Shoes!!!
Shoes!!
Yesterday, I made one of our first purchases..... MY SHOES!!! Even though we are getting married on the beach and I probaby wont be wearing my shoes all that much. I wanted a pair of pretty shoes with a few eyecatching "bling" on them. Something that would be fun for pictures and that I could wear again, most likely at our reception once we return and probably a few times on date nights.
I saw these shoes (similar) at Herbergers yesterday when looking for a college graduation dress and shoes for this weekend. When I saw these I instantly thought WEDDING!!! :) And I knew that I would be making the $49.00 purchase. But, what a great buy! So excited now to start planning more and making more of my wedding purchases and start booking things!!! This is not the exact picture of them, but close! Mine are more white to a cream color! |

Kids???
Baby Fever?!
My fiance are still very young and planning on tying the knot in late 2013 in Hawaii (just the two of us). Anyway, I go to church on Saturday and he on Sunday. We have talked about religion quite a bit and have come to an understanding that we will each go to our own churches. However, he has been having "baby fever" lately!!
A girl that we went to high school with (who was a couple years older than us), recently had a baby, so I think ever since then, he has gotten the urge to want kids. I on the other hand, have always been a bit undecided about having little ones running around. I am good with kids, but at the end of the day, it is always nice to go home in peace and quiet. (No offence to you ladies that have kids). At first, I was thinking maybe a baby wouldn't be so bad, later on, Be happily married for awhile, then kids later. Now that I know that my FH and I will not be attending the same church together, I think that it is best not to bother raising kids in a "divided" home like that. Personally, I think that not having kids this day and age is not so taboo anymore. Things are expensive already. I went to Target this week to get groceries and for about three bags, it was well over 100 bucks. Try adding three or two or even one kid(s) to that. Not to mention school, clothes, vacations, and so much more. I guess for me, I can wait. Never know, maybe in another 10 years, I might change my mind... What do you ladies think?? Are you and yours waiting to have kids or starting to plan for them right after the big day? |

52 Reasons I Love You
A few weekends ago, was my fiance's birthday. I had gotten him a bunch of new clothes including some new shorts for summer, a leather belt, some v-necks, and some button-up shirts. However, I wanted to do something more special being this was his first birthday of us being engaged, so I saw and copied this cute idea from Pinterest.com (yes, I am a Pinterest addict) :)
It was a little time consuming to make, but totally worth it :) I think he loved it almost more than his new clothes. Then, about a week later, he surprised me and emailed me 52 reasons. It was adorable! I even teared up!!! Materials: 1 deck of cards glue markers (I used a silver sharpie) construction paper (I used one color, black) hole puncher binder ring scissors ruler Instructions: Take out extra cards such as the jokers. However, you need to save one to make the cover out of! Make a list of 52 things you love about your man. Measure and cut out what size of paper you need to use to cover a majority of the playing card. Then glue all 53 pieces onto the 53 playing cards, including the cover card. Then write all the 52 things on the glued paper. Punch holes in all corners and put on binder ring. Don't forget to decorate the cover card!!! Have fun! He will love it, guaranteed!! :) Have a happy weekend, ladies!!! xoxo |

Engagement
Engagement Picture Idea: Ferris Wheel
So this morning (thanks to Pinterest), I found yet another fabulous idea for our engagement pictures on the weekend of June 8th. We have a local fun park that is open all summer, that includes a ferris wheel. The ferris wheel is not the biggest or the most glamorous, but still, how romantic would it be to be caught on camera, kissing at the top of a ferris wheel?! I think it is something every girl dreams of...
I am hoping and praying for wonderful weather that entire weekend.. :) |
