My next adventure

I am such an undedicated blogger. I hope that changes, because I really do love it.
I haven't blogged for almost 2 months and here's the reason:
 February 22nd, 2014, the love of my life and I took a (freezing) day trip to the oregon coast. We spent the day making sandcastles, playing in the water, drawing in the sand, and adventuring. Then sunset came and my best friend got down on one knee on the beach and proposed to me.

To celebrate our engagement, we had an engagement party at claim jumper. Both of our families (minus a couple of his brothers) met each other. His mom ended up accidentally spilling sparkling cider on my dad. My dad gave a beautiful toast for me and my fiance. Almost had me in tears. Great food, even better company.
And here's one of our engagement pictures. Taken in the downtown of where I grew up. Kind of a cool tidbit: this is the same street where I got my High School Senior photos done 4 years ago.

So there you have it. A very unexpected, but totally joyful change in my life: A new adventure even. We are getting married in June. We have less than 2 months left until we get married (AHHH!!!!) and I am so excited and kind of nervous. I am going to have a husband, be married, and be a wife. I of course am aware of the fact that we are engaged, I just get sudden moments of extreme realization. And then I start grinning and smiling from ear to ear because I am so excited for this eternal adventure! :)
I think I wrote a post a few months ago about how suddenly life can change and you don't even know it's coming. I am so excited; but at the same time, like many engaged women, I'm sure... I feel inadequate. This man really has changed my life in the 4 short months we have been together. I've known that he's the one for most of our relationship. I am so grateful for him.

I have also started back at my old job at JCPenney. It is fantastic. I love this company and working for them is awesome. I may come home tired, but I love working for jcpenney.

As my wedding approaches (extremely fast), I am thinking a lot about how I am about to become a wife. Wow. A wife. Wow.  I'm the luckiest person in the world.

Yeah not sure what else to say but I am so excited and exhausted.
