Well, this has been an interesting week.  Kevin and I put together our guest list.  Yeah, a guest list. See, the way I think about it is, you can't go anywhere for planning a wedding until you figure out the guest list.  This helps you figure out how big of a venue you need.  Once you find the correct venue, then you can figure out your theme and so forth. I've been thinking a lot about this.  Apparently, we have a large bridal party.  There is 8 people on each side.  Yeah, that's a 16 person bridal party.  Normally, I'd laugh and make fun of the idea.  Come on now, pick your bestest of best friends.  Kevin, however, has lots of bestest of best friends, and I struggled to keep up.  I got my 8 ladies, though.  This is going to one...

I remember when I was 16.  I wanted to have a huge sweet 16 party.  My cousin had one that was out of this world.  It was in a fancy hall, with an outdoor patio with pillars and a trimmed garden.  I remember there being classy white walkway stones and the grass was cut so perfectly that this part of me thinks that it was fake.  The inside of the hall was huge.  The floor was a wood grain, and was as smooth as the floors on a dance studio.  The dj was loud and his lights were typical dj lights.  All the boys were in suits and ties and all of the girls didn't wear a dress that cost less than $100.  I remember wanting a party like that for me so badly.  I wanted to glide across the dance floor with my friends, and having all of the attention on...

7/31/12 How We Met

That boy.... what am I going to do with him?  I guess my job, as the future wife-to-be, is to make an honest man out of him.  I feel like if I were in a movie, a character played by Kathy Bates would say that to me.  I think we should all take advice from a character played by Kathy Bates.... wait....... I take that back....... Misery....... don't do that! I told Kevin I that yes, I'm blogging about my experiences at the moment.  I didn't want anyone to know about this blog until a ring is on my finger.  I see it now.....  Everyone I know sees that I post a blog, and they all talk about me because I'm bringing it up too soon.  It makes me look bad.  I can't think of another way to describe it other than saying I sound like a huge spoiled gold-digging...

7/29/13 My Hypothesis

Today officially marks one month until my birthday.  One more month, and I will officially be 25.  I'll be a quarter of a century old, and no longer have any awesome birthdays left.  I can rent a car, which I might just go do so I can say I have.  I'm also excited about my car insurance decreasing.  I like paying less money. This got me thinking, though.   He's going to propose.  But how?  I don't want him to tell me, but I actually don't have a clue.  I've decided, though, that I would like to document my guesses, so when it actually happens, I have written proof that says "I guessed it!" Here is what I know: 1)  He actually has the ring.  I confirmed this with him today. 2)  He...

Today, I start my blog.  I don't have a ring on my finger, but I'm starting my blog.  Why?  Because I can, that's why. I'm starting a blog about my wedding.  My future husband hasn't proposed yet.  I just want to get ahead of the game.  Unfortunately, I do this all the time.  I try to get ahead, get ahead, get ahead.  I used to do it in college.  I'd get all of my books as soon as the lists went up.  I'd start reading before I even got to school, not finish the book, then fall behind when I actually stepped foot on campus.  I'm not doing that this time.  I'm going to (hopefully) seriously think this through.  I need to start somewhere..... My name is Gen.  Yes, it's spelled with a G.  Yes, my full name is longer....
