I'm Back...

I knew it would happen and it did. I neglected you, brand-new baby blog. I loved you soooo much for a couple of days and then, as life got in the way, I forgot to pay you the attention you deserve. I thought about you daily and knew that you wanted me to come visit....but I didn't. This is my promise to you: I will not neglect you again. I will visit and update you a few times a week. I promise. Really. (hugs)

So...I'm back! The reason for this new dedication to my blog? I have LOTS to say these days. By now I'm sure you've all heard the BIG NEWS that Augusto has declared his insanity and asked to be with me forever. I, of course, accepted. This has resulted in new-found left-handedness (I can't stop staring at my sparkly ring) and sleepless nights spent thinking about wedding dresses, invitations, centerpieces, etc.

I spent a couple of weeks in denial about how excited I actually am to plan a wedding. I'm a no-frills kind of girl and I always knew that I wanted a really simple affair...but that doesn't mean that I won't obsess over the details. I just can't help myself. I started out by calling my mom every few days with new updates and saying at least two or three times in the conversation, "I don't really care...whatever you want to do is fine with me." What? Are you kidding me? I DO CARE. For reals. And I'm SUPER excited to plan such an exciting day.

Lucky you blog world...you get to read about my new obsession! I still want this to be avenue for keeping in touch with far-way friends and family. But let's be honest...this is what I'm thinking about these days so this is probably what I'll be posting about most. Are you ready for the ride?
Stay tuned..this is going to be fun.

Next up: learn how a wedding starts out to be a private, very simple celebration with just immediate family and turns into a full-blown affair with a "real" wedding dress and everything.

Much love,
