Time spent in the freezer aisle

I'm not a lucky person, I rarely win anything. However, at a Married Life Today Conference at our church this morning, J and I were chosen for a game of Deal or No Deal. We won a pretty sweet date night package."Howie Mandell" did some good improv and at one point while talking to the "banker" shouted out "Yes, I know know J's head looks better than mine!" We were rather entertained.

Today was rainy and I was planning on finally making the bedroom curtains that I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about. However, J had other plans. So he took me to lunch at a yummy little Italian place and then we went shopping. After his little spree of two hundred bucks, I'd say I get a nice free pass when I head to the outlets when Bex visits this weekend, right? Furthermore, since he bought a nice khaki suit that means that since our anniversary is in 28 days, that he should wear it, and I should play in my wedding dress, and it will be fun. That's totally a rule, right? You play in wedding clothes on your anniversary?

During our shopping I had an overwhelming sweet tooth that just would. not. go. away! J and I stopped by the grocery where I found thin mints! Well, not exactly thin mints bu the store brand of a cookie that tastes exactly like them and were only a dollar! A dollar!! I just may eat thin mints every day for the rest of my life. A dollar! The Girl Scouts should just buy and resell them, they'd make more money that way. So after I nearly tore open the package and ravaged them all right there in the cookie aisle we were on to ice cream. Sadly, the amount of time J and I spent in the ice cream aisle is most definitely more than the time we'll spend name children. After much debate he got strawberry for a milkshake with fresh strawberries at home. I finally (finally) decided on chocolate chip cookie dough. My thoughts? Well, it's kinda like the mint chocolate chip I wanted and I can eat it with the cookies. But I can also throw in in the blender with peanut butter for a peanut butter milkshake and that will be tasty too. I mean pb and chocolate chips and the cookie dough will be like pb cookies. That makes sense, yes? I know I could have totally gone for vanilla and achieved the same desired outcome, but that seemed too easy.

No, I'm not pregnant. At least, not that I know of.

Playing Wedding

Yesterday Ta Ta came to visit me so we could play wedding. We went to a few dress shops so I could dress her up like a doll and watch her prance around in front of the mirrors. I love looking at wedding dresses. I even made her try on a few she knew she'd didn't want because they were so pretty-pretty I just had to see them on. She found the elements she likes in a dress, just not "the dress" yet. I'm excited for when she does because then I can get started making the veil. Can you see how much fun I'm going to have with this?

We also browsed wedding websites and magazines and discussed invitations. I'm going to help her make them and we're going to jazz up a pre-made invite. I only wish I'd been that smart. But, oh no! I had to make them from scratch. I all but cut down the trees and made the paper. What. A. Pain. I don't recommend it.

I'm very excited for my two bestest friends getting married this summer and fall! I know this is first of many wedding entries. I'm super excited to continue helping her plan.
