Comfort before Glamour

And our eternity is already flying by...but Lets edit that previous post by saying... the chapel could have fit 20 ppl- believe me not him!!!

Here I stand a future Mormon blog wife. Me, a year ago, would be shaking my head in disgust. Shame, shame on my hip-hop life style. But mark my words, If I ever, I said EVER bring jello to an event of any kind- buy me some stilettos and take me out! :)
The one thing I wouldn't ever shake my head at, however, is the amazing man that chose me to be his wife. I thought I was happy! But I have reached a whole new level of lucky. This man has made me realize what I need to fix in my life, what I enjoy, where I am going, and who my Savior really is. I didn't think that what I really wanted would ever really happen- every girl thinks she'll have to settle. But boy, I didn't.

On to the juicy stuff....We're making our own rings! A few weeks ago we went downtown to look at the old estate rings and a few jewelers. We got all dressed up and walked around acting like grown ups. Zach had his planner that he takes everywhere- so we were lookin' legit. (We were going to look another day- but Zach was wearing cut off jeans so....I said no.) We soon stumbled upon a hole in the wall place that had a -We sell gold- sign flashing...ehh...I was excited so we went in. It was just what we wanted! The guy had been making custom rings for 35 years and he knew just what we wanted. I wanted the ring experience to be just that- something that we would remember and a true work of art on my finger. Once he found out I was an art major he gave us tools and wax to take home to practice designing. So we have been sketching for weeks and think we know what we want. But until then people will be asking - is that it?- to my band and I will make them feel bad by saying- yes. :)..enough with the glamour...on to the comfort.

We bought our couches yesterday after he called me at 2am to tell me we should get them..and I don't remember saying yes...but he waited til I was conscious to make sure it was still ok.They're beautiful leather and we are sitting on them right now! They're in a corner of the basement- but they still need our butt lovin'! mmmmm butt lovin'.
So we're engaged and everything. Now, what??? Now we get the take pictures in fancy clothes and shoot electronic guns at expensive stuff, think of colors we like that go with flowers we like to show people that we like what we like, and strangers are happy for us. But the best part is that when all of that fancy stuff is done I get my Zach for forever.
