What do I do now? What comes next?

My first blog post! Yay! 

I've been contemplating starting a blog for a while and didn't feel the time was right. However, I've recently had a big life moment that has begun a brand new chapter in my life and what better way to capture all the feelings, thoughts, and rises and falls than a blog! :) 

My Lovey and I just celebrated our 5th anniversary on June 6th. We always go back and relive our first date each year at the Naples Zoo. However, this year was extra special! We arrived in Naples a little behind schedule thanks to ME! (Which is typical! To know this, is to love me!) 

When we reached the corner that we first met on... (side note: it was a blind internet date.) Freddy stopped me and began reminiscing and got serious. It took me a minute to realize what was happening, but the tremors going through his body made it very apparent and SWEET! So, right on that very corner where it all began, our forever also began! He did so good! He even had my mom across the street, with a good friend of mine, recording and snapping pictures the whole time. It was a fantastically wonderful day! I still haven't stopped smiling and gazing at my ring since then! 

And so begins the planning! :) :) :) :) :) 

Pintrest and I are already Besties... But we will be joined at the hip for real! 

I think we are deciding on a New Year's Wedding. So, we have unofficially decided on Dec. 31st, 2017. 

I know it seems like a long ways off, however, we are both teachers and anyone who is anyone knows the pay isn't that great. So, we'll have ample time to figure the dollars out! 

So, here begins my blog adventure! I'm thinking this will combine wedding planning, documenting my crafting (wedding related and not wedding related), documenting my classroom adventures (I suppose I should have started this last school year because I just survived my most trying year - but the rewards and growth were REAL!), and just living life in general! 

Thanks for stopping by and reading! I'm looking forward to sharing more with you very soon! :)
