a: dress nice.. we have to register.

the "official" proposal came yesterday and it will be a day i never forget. i did not think there would be a second proposal but believe me, he did it right.

if you want to hear the story, i'll tell it. or you can read the short version on my blog. john does have sweet bones in his body. and he proved it yesterday.

aside from that, the dress is chosen and purchased. i think we're making good time (at least on the things we can get out of the way ahead of time). the guest list has reached 236, and we aren't quite sure how that happened. or how we will feed them all...

at any rate, this has been by far the greatest weekend i have ever had in my life. a funny thing happened, too. i used to see scenarios of women being held up and having difficulty parting with their wedding rings. i thought it was dumb. until yesterday.

i guess that's what they call "perspective".

a: moody mooday

my mom is meeting with the sweet lady anne at the peabody... arkansas ballroom, here we come!

i absolutely LOVE the reception site. it's so classy. we are tossing ideas around now about the decorations on the table. i decided to embrace the christmas time of year and allow all white christmas lights SOMEWHERE in the decor. we'll make sure it's not tacky.

this weekend, john was in town. (hence the post.. i had to make him do it haha.) we went to benihana with some friends from our school days, kat and gary. after we left, john asked me if we're going to start hanging out with married couples now. i laughed... next weekend we're having dinner with my brother and his wife. i guess we are growing up.

i'll be 25 on wednesday. i suppose this is the inevitable.

geriatrically yours,

j: so..i was wondering what you were doing for the rest of your life.

so i finally made it..yeah..thats right..im officially "blogging". First of all let me say that I'm really excited about the things that are happening and things that are to come in the next few months :) With that being said..i guess thats all i got to say..ha..just kidding..i have a little more to add to this.. Believe it or not..im kind of excited about all the planning and the way the wedding is gonna work out. So far i agree with everything she says..(because thats the best thing to do..atleast all the married men have told me that)..but..im not a very creative person so I'm glad she has more than enough for both us. but i guess thats all for now. I'll be posting more in the days to come.

a: this is (almost) a twitter.

i am drinking a slim fast. and dressed to "walk away the pounds". is this real life?

this morning my mom and dad and i prayed together.. and they both mentioned my wedding and matrimony to sweet john watson.

i think it's becoming more real.

soon-to-be bride,
aleasa
