i know i know...

i'm seriously horrible at this blogging thing. lets recap on what our lives have consisted of these past few weeks!

1. i broke my camera it was a sad sad day! thats when i decided i was taking a break from blogging hoping if my fit lasted long enough jakeb would give in and let me get another one.... final verdict: STILL NO CAMERA! :(

2. we are officially ALL moved in! it feels amazing to come home everyday to a place we can call our own!

3. jake has finally finished his internship... thank goodness! i was beginning to think i was gonna have to give john, his boss, a piece of my mind! its so nice to have my fiance around again :)

4. my parents took in a foreign exchange student. his name is samuel and he's from Sweden! he would melt your heart he is so sweet! i love having him here not only to show him how americans live but also to learn all about his culture! the number one difference is the woman here & back home he said is that they are much much healthier back in Sweden! hmmm that sounds like a nice way of putting that us americans are fat.... haha we love sam! jake is so great with him, we've decided that in the future we would LOVE to be apart of the exchange program and bring in other cultures to our family.

5. wait for it... wait for it... NOVEMBER 27TH... hmmm... sound like a good day to get married to me! jake and i have officially decided that waiting till may to say our vows sounds ridiculous, therefore we've decided to move our wedding day up to thanksgiving weekend while all the family will be in town! we couldn't be happier right now! its been a whirl wind of events trying to get organized we only have like 3 months but i have faith that we will make it happen!

6. jake & i spent the ENTIRE day out registering.... oh my does it feel good to be done with that?! it was so much fun spending the day planning out everything we wanted to get our lives started. now if you see on our registry anything random please thank jakeb for that! after 4 hours in bed bath & beyond he was getting a bit delirious.

7. sadly jakeb is leaving one week from tomorrow morning! it's a bitter sweet... i'm sad that i wont get to hear his laugh or see his smile everyday, but at the same time we'll know that the very next time we get to see each other will be thanksgiving & we'll be preparing to walk down the aisle and promise ourselves to each other forever and all eternity! i love him more than words can describe :) we've decided to write our own vows for our ceremony. we figure we have had alot of time together and plenty of memories to build off of! now if only i can get all my feelings & thoughts to come out on paper as pretty as they are in my head!

well thats it for now... i'll keep you posted on how the rest of the wedding planning goes! next week we'll be designing our wedding cake and figuring out the final details!

LOVE LOVE
