I feel like I haven't really discussed any of the goings and comings of my life here lately, so today I thought I'd do a little mish mash post! :)
...I'm horrible at wedding planning, THERE I said it. I feel so unorganized and feel like somehow I'm failing and should have so many things done.
...I've started "unplugging" myself from all electronics at 8 pm and it's going quite nicely. I make myself a cup of tea, complete my Bible studies and readings, and then do some leisurely reading before bed. I've needed this quiet time for a while.
...on the wedding front, I feel super guilty about all the money I'm spending. But then again, this will be the only (and let me repeat, only) wedding I'll have. I won't go through this stress again...and that leads me to feeling less guilty. This is my dream wedding and I'll have what I want.
...I try to act not stressed about our house, because I know for a fact that it stresses Nathan out. We just need one big thing to come through for us next month and we'll be stress free.
...Nathan is starting a new business, and it worries me (a lot). I can't/won't go into specifics, but I'm nervous for him (and me).
...Nate and I cooked dinner this past weekend, and it was absolutely freaking delicious. I know that sounds odd, but I'm not a cook (at all)...and I made 50% of the meal, and it was great! Maybe this will give me the motivation to cook more often.
...it's finally cold and winterish around these parts! I'm definitely not a "winter" person by any means, but I do like our four seasons in Tennessee...and having spring weather in winter is for the birds!
...be on the lookout for a new blog design here in the coming weeks. It's a new year and definitely time for a new look!

Have you made that list yet of what you need to get done?! ;) However, I doubt you're horrible at it! I'm not a big cook either, I would like to try to be better at it this year. I'm not a winter fan either but I do love getting 4 seasons! :)
I love wedding planning and would love to help you if you need any suggestions, etc. I think I loved it so much because by the time we got married, all my friends already had and I knew what I wanted, what I needed, etc. I also set a goal to have it all done by the time I left to go out of town for my bachelorette party, which was exactly one week before the wedding. Having that goal (and meeting it) was awesome cause then I got a week to just do the little stuff and relax. I highly recommend that.
But seriously, I'd love to help if you need anything! :)
I was horrible with wedding planning. Once I had my dress, the church, and my favorite flowers picked I was done. My sister and mom did it all because I loved everything and didn't care if we did this or that. My sister is paying for a big part of her wedding, something very different from mine, and she's going through the money guilt. Don't feel bad about spending but don't spend what you're not comfortable with!
Unplugging is the best thing. I've been reading for an hour or more every night and I love how relaxing it is!
I need to start learning to unplug. I am on the computer or my phone too much before bed and then it takes me forever to wind down and fall asleep!
Praying for Nate's new business venture!
i love this list-- i had a great time wedding planning and would love to help if you need it =] one of the big things we did was think of a 3 things that we HAD to have and then went from there for everything else. you'll have a gorgeous day! xo
I'm glad that you aired all of this on the blog. I'm sure you're not as bad as you think you are with the wedding planning. It gives me anxiety just thinking about when we get engaged and all the minute details. I'm going to have to steal your unplugging idea. Maybe I'll just start one night a week though.
