A - E - I - O - U
I mean things that look like this:

Yep that's what I thought CRICKETS!
I have to admit that I've been distracted from my studies. What's been distracting me?? Well, LIFE. I can't explain it, and I'm also a bit embarrassed by my "distraction situation." I fought so hard to get here. By here I mean: to get into school, and to get my "life" into some kind of order, especially from this time last year. I've made a complete 180 degree turn from last year to this year. Right now I actually have a life plan. AND I'm actually following my life plan.
I don't want to say that I'm burnt out. I know burnt out all too well, and I know for a fact this ain't that! So for now I'm comfortable saying that I am distracted.
Being engaged is a great thing, it's fun thing, but as I touch on a lot in various blog posts - - Life goes on. The rest of the world is pretty much like: "You're engaged, that's nice, did you finish that assignment?!?!"
I told myself at the beginning of this year I was going to adjust my attitude, try to take it all in, and enjoy the moment. (Remember this post: Can I have my moment please) So I've been doing that. Taking it all in. Remembering to smile. Remembering to be happy. The problem is "taking it all in" is kinda a slow process. It involves you slowing down to enjoy what's taking place as it is happening in real time and beyond. In the mean time in between time; TIME is literally passing you by. And once time is gone that's it.
So what's a girl to do? How do I live in the moment, and still manage doing well in school, re-establishing a career, wedding planning, and everyday life??!?!?
I dunno!!??!! Trial and Error. Hopefully not too much error.
At least there is some Good News!
I finally sent out my Save the Dates. For those who may not remember, my Save the Dates are magnets. They look a lot like this:
Okay well maybe not exactly like that. But pretty similar. My Save the Dates are damask print if you need an official visual.
Now that they are out I am getting feedback. People love them!!!
Some people think that the Save the Date is the actual invitation. I also order personalized stamps from zazzle.com, and I sent the Save the Dates out with the personalized stamps. Oh and the stamps are damask print as well.
It's sooo good to hear people say that they like the Save the Dates. I'm just so pleased! Really, I'm just on a high. For the very first time throughout this two year process I'm actually un-apologetically excited about this process.
I share a lot of what goes on with me on this blog. But to be honest my posts are pretty watered down compared to the actually events or feelings. I would probably get WAYY more views if I gave the uncensored raw version of every aspect that has taken place since we picked our original wedding date back in November of 2012!
But I don't!
Because I'm a Lady!

I said ALL of that to say this - - despite all of the ups and downs, the highs and lows, the doubt and highly confident moments this by far sets the precedent. There were so many times when I thought that this wedding struggle was all just a waste. For things to finally start to come around.
WARNING: Selfish Bridezilla rant in 5...4...3...2...1..
It feels so good for people to finally start to see to some degree my our vision... For them to see who I am WE ARE... and not just as a bride A BRIDE AND GROOM, but as a person A COUPLE it feels good!!!
I know some of you are thinking "it's just a freaking magnet, you're a little melodramatic." And you know what You're dayum right I'm melodramatic, and I've earned every right to be this way!
In closing, I think moving forward the closer we get to the wedding I feel like things will start to change more for the better. Man I'm look forward to it!
Sincerely,
The Anti-Bride
