Tuesday

This day of the week, Tuesday, is not a day that I really enjoy too much. I can handle Mondays because it is a shorter day, Wednesday is the middle of the week, Thursday is almost Friday, and Friday means the weekend. Tuesday means that the long week is just starting and the weekend still seems like forever away. I just thought that I would share my thoughts on Tuesday. Maybe there is someone out there that likes this day and can tell me why so I can maybe someday like it too.

Anyway, on a happier note. Tomorrow marks 4 months until the big day. Also, tomorrow, I have my first dress fitting so that should be a lot of fun. I love wearing my dress. In case you did not know, I brought my dress the day after Ryan and I got engaged. So I have not put it on in over a month. I am really excited to wear it again and even more excited for Ryan to see me in it (June 27th).

The last thing I want to share is that it is less than a month until spring. I am very ready for some nice weather. I hope for no more snow this year. Even though, I know that it is not done, I still wish for it to be done. Yea, for warm days to come!

The Ring

After being engaged for 4 weeks, finally here are pictures of Natalies ring. So for all those that have been asking, here you go!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Well, I have ever really liked Valentine's Day but this year it has been a pretty good day so far. I did not have to be at school until 10:30 this morning because of snow. It is not everyday that you get a delay in Utah for snow. Then, at school, I did not really have to teach because the kids just played all day. Also, tonight I get to spend time with the best Valentine in the world. So I guess maybe I will not be able to dislike Valentine's Day forever. Hoping for even more great Valentine's Days in the future!

Being a teacher and planning a wedding

I just needed to vent my stress. I am trying to find a balance between being a teacher and trying to plan my summer wedding. I do schoolwork on the weekdays and then planning for the wedding on the weekends. This means that I have a shorter time then I think that I do. I still have 4 1/2 months until the big day but with only Saturdays to plan things it is not a lot of time left. I am glad that I have a great guy to help me plan things or I would be going a lot more crazy then I already am. Just to let everyone know trying to teach school and plan the biggest day of your life is not an easy task. I am making it through but some days, I wish that June were already here.
My plan to do better:
RELAX and listen to Ryan!
