Random Thoughts from the Engaged Brain

I have so many small thoughts rushing through my head...not enough to each merit their own post, but perhaps if I brain-dump them all into this post, that will create some free space in my head. So I suppose that means...welcome to life in Bekah's brain. I'd wear a hard hat if I were you.

* THANK YOU, thank you, thank you for all your ideas (and effort in that direction for those of you...ahem...Julie...who found yourself with Friday brain) toward my something old. Y'all are CREATIVE! Thanks for the comments and emails...you've given me some great inspiration. I love it. There were so many good ideas, I'll probably have 12 "something old's." LOL!!

* WHAT is this new bridal show called "Bada bling." Seriously? These dresses are um...a lot of dress. (AKA I think the dress I posted yesterday would fit well on some of these brides.) I just think it's in poor taste for the dress to weigh more than the bride. But that's just me.

* It's still fun to run into someone in the store that I've not seen since I got engaged...and hear them say, "Did I hear that you're...." (Almost as if finishing the sentence would negate the engagement.) (Actually it might be kind of funny to fill in the sentence with something totally unrelated and watch their reaction.) (Why do I not think of these things while I'm in the store?)

* Ryan had a long day yesterday and it was such a joy to come home and make dinner for him and spend the evening spoiling him. I'm sorry his day was rough but I was so glad that spending the evening together made it better.

*Braeya is obsessed with this new bed. Ryan moved his bed over last weekend (leaving him stuck at home on a couch for the next three weeks - BLECH!) and Braeya is IN LOVE.
This is where you'll find her most of the time. Curled up watching I Love Lucy.

* Believe it or not, we have almost everything done for the wedding. I have about 2 craft projects left to do - both pretty minor - and I think that is extraordinary for a wedding that had only 8 weeks to be planned. To be 3 weeks away and not be scrambling has to be some sort of Bekah-record.

* Curiosity question - for those of you who are married - how long did it take you to sort of figure out a regular schedule together after you got married? Ryan and I talk often about the things we need to prioritize into each day but I know the meshing of schedules and commutes will take an adjustment. Just curious how long it took some of you to settle in.

* So excited that my best friend is here this weekend! She came in for my bridal shower and bachelorette party. So excited to see her! Welcome to weddingland, Lynnette!

Bekah,
I have been thinking since yesterday about your something old. I was thinking that you could get one of those locket's and put old pictures of both of your parents in one. You could wear the locket or carry it. It would be like "this is where we came from".

Schedule?? Um, we've been married almost 9 years and we don't have one. :) I used to have a schedule when I worked outside the home, but Frog's always been flexible with his hours. Sometimes it drives me nuts, and sometimes I'm very grateful that he can be around if I need him. I've been working on making a cleaning schedule and planning meals, because even with being home all day, it's hard to stay on top of everything!

A routine won't take that long to settle into.

Be grateful that you have two full bathrooms though, that way you don't have to get up earlier to be ready on time.

Jenna - Well you know how I am about schedules.... :)

Kristin - GOOD POINT!!!
