Exciting news to explain my uncalled for absence…

I am getting married!!! Can you believe it?! As you can garner from all of the exclamation points, I am pretty excited about this new engagement. I am probably more excited than my first engagement and on par excited with my second engagement. At this point (approximately one and a half weeks of engagementhood), I am feeling 95% sure that I will actually walk down the aisle this time. I leave 5% doubt, so in the rare chance that I call it off, I will have a cushion to fall back on.

My fiance and I have been dating for close to 3 months. I feel like we have known each other a lifetime. We’ve already seen breathtaking highs and several frightening lows (most of which have involved his choice of footwear). However, we have cleared up all of those issues. I know I have been a little negative about men in the past, but I have a good feeling about this one. We never, ever fight (except for that one time, but he totally didn’t mean it). Anyhow, here is the ring. Isn’t is unbelievably gorgeous??? I’m so lucky!

I’ve also made a big personal decision. I am ready for babies! For a long time, I felt really driven in my career and wasn’t so concerned about motherhood. Now, I’m really, super ready. I just graduated, work is kind of boring, and I hear the maternity vitamins make your hair super shiny. So I’ll probably start trying sooner rather than later, cause my hair has been looking pretty dull lately.

So that is the update. I’ll be blogging more frequently about my upcoming nuptials (I’m thinking little sharpie markers for the favors that say “make it permanent”…isn’t that ridiculously cute?!…so many plans, so little time). I’ll also be blogging about the status of my impregnation plan – sexy time!

Finally, I’m lying and not engaged or baby crazy (just in case that wasn’t blatantly obvious), I just didn’t have an excuse for being a bad blogger.

Anyone who knows me (even remotely) knows I can’t take care of a plant let alone another human being. Plus, I get the shakes just helping to plan my best friend’s wedding (what up, BFF!). I thought this small white lie was much more interesting than the truth (i.e. laziness + fanfrickingtastic = 0 blog posts). Great, now that we have that covered…I’ll be back to blogging on a normal schedule!
