HERE'S HOW YOU PLAY. ONCE YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED YOU HAVE TO WRITE A BLOG OF TEN WEIRD, RANDOM THINGS, FACTS OR HABITS ABOUT YOURSELF. AT THE END, YOU CHOOSE TEN PEOPLE TO BE TAGGED, LISTING THEIR NAMES AND WHY YOU CHOSE THEM TO BE TAGGED. DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE THEM A COMMENT "YOU'RE IT" AND TO READ YOUR BLOG. YOU CAN'T TAG THE PERSON WHO TAGGED YOU. SINCE YOU CAN'T TAG THAT PERSON BACK, LET HIM OR HER KNOW WHEN YOU'VE POSTED YOUR BLOG SO HE OR SHE CAN READ YOUR ANSWERS.

1. I hate the grocery store...with a passion. It takes such a large chunck out of your day to go wandering up and down numerous aisles, dodging endless carts and attempting to avoid knocking down any displays. Not to mention the fact that I get completely distracted and end up getting more than I need...even when I have a list to work from.
2. I don't really like to talk on the phone. (Yes, I realize this a strange thing for a female to say, but I just really don't like it.)
3. I am addicted to reality television--particularly anything on Bravo.
4. I want to live in Spain. Doesn't really matter where...except Madrid. Just another big city like any other. I need something with a little more personality.
5. I have increasingly become shyer (sp?) over the past few years. I used to be really outgoing, but I have gotten to where I just enjoy quiet time spent reading, watching television, or sitting outside.
6. I love the show Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. It's completely gross, but intriguing as well.
7. I am so excited about my honeymoon coming, but I cringe everytime I think of putting on a bathing suit in front of anyone.
8. I could live the rest of my life in pajama pants and be completely thrilled about it. There is nothing better than lounging around in pajama pants.
9. I have way too many toiletry products than any one person should have. And I don't use them all. I just feel better knowing that I have them in case the need arises.
10. I love the smell of clean laundry, even though I'm not crazy about the process it takes to actually achieve that smell. If I had to choose one thing I could smell the rest of my life and nothing else, it would be clean laundry.

Anyone who wants to do this, go ahead. I am not tagging any person in particular.

Goin' to the Chapel...

So I decided I would let everyone know what is going on in the world of wedding planning. I am about 2 months away from all of this happening, and it feels like there is more and more to do every single day. This past weekend, my mom came up and we went shopping for clothes to wear to all my showers and such. We had a lot of fun and I have to say that my mom is probably one of the most efficient shoppers out there. We literally found all of my outfits in one two-hour spree. She's pretty amazing when it comes to that stuff. Besides that, it was just good to hang out with her this weekend. On Saturday we went shopping for veils. I completely forgot that it is now PROM season and all of the stores are packed with girls trying on skimpy dresses. Seriously, it's amazing what they wear now...two-piece things that show all kinds of cleavage, stomach, and other parts that should not be seen in public. After trying on what felt like 800 veils, we found one that is really pretty. I also tried on my actual dress, which feels about 10 sizes too big. Good thing the ladies that do alterations can work miracles.
I have almost completed registering, which I will say has been an interesting process. I am not very good at all the entertaining/party throwing stuff, so I naturally don't think of registering for things like trifle bowls and cake plates. Another reason my mom came in handy this weekend. She knows all about the world of parties.
So, the dress has come in, the bridesmaid dresses are in, the band has been booked, the music picked out, invitations are in and being addressed....it's all coming together. Only part I don't know too much about is where we are actually going to live and work. (At least the wedding is situated--I have to have my priorities in order! ;) Anyway, here are a few pictures of where the wedding is. I am really excited about it and think that it's going to be really pretty. Hope all is well in your world!
