A couple weeks ago I started getting strange ideas that maybe the proposal was coming sooner rather than later. Deep down though, I knew it was wishful thinking, as it did not match up with "the timeline" we had occasionally discussed earlier.A few days prior, Josh suggested he cook me a nice dinner and then we head downtown to Chocolate Cafe."Hmmm," I thought,...
A few months ago at a silent auction I bid on tickets to an IU basketball game. The timing of the game was, honestly, a little inconvenient, but Josh and I were determined to use them and enjoy them.Turns out the timing was quite perfect as the Bloomington CVB (Convention and Visitors Bureau) just started offering their wonderful winter getaway package!! I was...

A couple years ago my sister-in-law Jen and I headed south to Indy to visit Jen's sister Charissa (or Cha-Cha as I like to call her). Sunday morning we got up early for church. We were each doing our own thing getting ready for the day, brushing teeth, doing hair, getting dressed, etc. Once we were all ready, we were quite surprised to...
I like cheap! After much discussion, Josh & I decided to go to Cici's for our dinner before our last FPU class. We enjoyed a wide variety of pizzas, salads, cheesy garlic bread, and desserts - divine cinnamon rolls and brownies all for $4.99 each!Yes, FPU is over. It was a long 14 weeks! We both agree it was a good class with...
Well, since I have thus far received NO feedback, I will write about whatever I want to write about!Check out this lovely fruit & cheese platter I planned for our HOH (Holiday Open House) last week:I had never done a fruit & cheese platter before. I researched a little online, conferred with my cheese expert boyfriend, checked what was on sale, and voila!It...
I came across these pictures tonight. They were taken the day after my 30th Birthday Party. It's just me and Ava hangin' out. Savvy and skilled blog readers will recognize her from her younger days. I still love to compare the pictures. My expression in the fourth picture below still goes with the pics of younger days. ...

Oh man, it's definitely one of those nights where I don't want to go to bed. Not because I feel like I haven't accomplished enough for the day (I get those a lot, unfortunately). But because I want to relish in this moment of feeling utterly, completely, beyond-words blessed!My heart is full. So full it's overflowing. It makes me want to share those...
The wedding weekend in Texas was great. I'm still recovering from the jet lag, time changes, and lack of sleep.I leave in a couple hours again for up north to Josh's dad's family. I love being around big families, so I'm excited. But I also realize I haven't even unpacked from Texas and it's already time to pack again!I'll try to post some...
Just a quick note here while I munch on an English muffin for breakfast.Filming yesterday went great. It was very cool to experience, but I wouldn't want to do it every day. It was super exhausting.That was yesterday. Today I fly to Dallas/Fort Worth via Chicago & Denver. I always get nervous when I fly, and I always get nervous when I'm in...
