Date Night (number two)



Date night this week was almost canceled on account of being swamped with midterms and papers. But Bryan insisted that he would go crazy if we didn't see each other for a whole week (man, I love him!). So we did! We had a date in the library. I came over with yummy fixin's to make shish-kabobs (a lovely idea from my dear friend, Sara). After grilling, we packed them up (along with our homework) and studied at the library. It was lots of fun! I'm pretty sure we looked like dorks to everyone else considering we brought a table cloth, vase, and flowers to make our library date complete. Sometime you gotta do what you gotta do.

Busy Little Bees

I know we haven't written here in awhile. That is because our lives are crazy at the moment. And if we had to chose between blogging or going outside and enjoying the beautiful weather--we will always pick the latter. But we will try our best to keep friends and family updated.

Last weekend was Picnic Day--a favorite in Davis. Bryan's grandparents came up and it is always such a joy to hang out with them. They have been together for over 50 years! Definitely, something to aspire to! We also hung out with some aunts, uncles, and cousins. I'm kinda excited that in three months my family size will double.

A few changes have happened in the past couple of weeks. First, Bryan and I have been so busy that we have hardly been seeing each other, so we made Mondays our date night (and soon enough it will be our premarital counseling night also!) Last Monday, we went to dinner at Cool Hand Lukes. My parents gave us gift cards to different restaurants for date (so awesome!) so this was one of them. We've never been there. Pros--water served in wide mouth mason jars, sweet potato fries, and country music. Cons--everything is cooked with bacon, small appetizers, and dark lighting.

The second change is that I have moved up to Summit, the highschool youth group. About a year ago, I started working with junior high kids at our church. Soon enough Bryan joined in too! We love love love doing ministry together and even more so we have fallen in love with the kids. My girls are going into highschool next year, so with that I moved up to the high school ministry with them. Our kids have been one of the biggest blessings and if you come to our wedding you will sure meet all of them!

Bryan is feeling a bit better so we did some thrift storing this weekend. We've been searching for plates, vases, and mason jars for the wedding. And this weekend, we found just that! We also found a bread pan, circular saw, and a cool beach blanket! All for super cheap!

I went over to Bryan's house today and he has a 102 degree fever...the week before finals! And right now he is writing a 16 page essay. So many times I am just utterly impressed with him. Today is one of those days. That is all for now. Good dreams!

Engaged life!

Being engaged is awesome, but also not awesome. Bryan is currently in the busiest quarter of his life! We have hardly had time to hang out. But ALAS! In about a week and a half, he will be on spring break and we can hang out again! (And finally talk about wedding stuff!) We have figured out a few things though...
  • We found the place we want to get married! (Farm on Putah Creek)
  • We got a photographer! Denise Bovee (google her! She's great!)
  • I found a dress! And for only $140!
  • We made Save the Dates from scratch and are eager to send them out in the next couple of days!
  • We finished our wedding website!
  • And currently, some friends and I are collecting old plates, vases, and mason jars.
Also in the past month, I have really enjoyed using the pronoun "we"!
