Today is the first day house hunting with the future Husband as well as the first day of this blog. We are looking to move into a place the beginning of July. It is a pretty exciting time for us...well really for myself. We will be getting married in 95 days -- that is on August 21, 2010. I am quiting my shitty job as a paralegal on June 23, 2010 -- otherwise known as 25 more working days. My lovely cousin will be getting married on June 26th (our one year dating anniversary) in Helena, Montana. So in the matter of three months, give or take, I will be quiting my job, taking my future Husband to meet most if not all of my extended family for what will be for most of them the first time, moving into a new home, and settling into a life (for the time being) of voluntary unemployment.
My future Husband and I are both vegetarian. I think the one thing I am most excited for when I get my month and a half sabbatical before the wedding is all the lovely vegetarian recipes I am going to try out. Well, that and all the little DIY projects I have thought up for the wedding. I have plenty to keep me busy and happy.
Currently, I am dividing my time between my parents as well as that of my future Husband. It is quite the feat, I must say. My parents, my future Husband, and work all rest on an even 20 mile triangle. Meaning to travel to all three locations requires 60 miles. It is difficult to divide my time evenly, however. My future Husband lives with three other grown men who really enjoy playing computer games. They are definite "gamers." It is such a turn off for me...and when my future Husband gets sucked into a game, I have to leave; it is just too unappealing to me. There is plenty I cannot stand about "his" house. The other people living there. The location (the middle of bumfuck nowhere). The fact that I can't find ANYTHING in the kitchen. The fact that there is not a SINGLE sharp knife...I mean...I can't even cut a tomato! (This is the reason I am excited to get my own kitchen.) The fact that the house has bad energy. I could go on. The only positive is my Soulmate lives there. Well, that and I have my own walk-in closet. My parents house on the other hand has all the rest of my clothes and shoes, my comfy bed, and my puppy Bella. I am also really attached to my family and actually enjoy being with them. My future Husband does as well, so this is not a problem. Oh! And my mom is a spectacular cook...so I have gourmet meals nearly every night when I'm home. It really has just been logistics. He moved into his house with his buddies about 3 weeks after we met, so he has been locked into a lease until the beginning of July.
This blog is meant to chronicle this exciting period of my life...all the ups and downs of planning a wedding, the escapades in the kitchen, DIY projects, decorating on a budget, learning to live with a future spouse, and anything else that might and will probably come up in my life.
Currently on my to do list is to create organza flower packets for my bridesmaids. I have found a great tutorial on how to make organza flowers, and one of my bridesmaid suggested that I make packets of the materials with instructions and send a packet to each bridesmaid, along with a sample.
Another thing on my list is making some recipes out of my vegetarian recipe collection. First up is Hawaiian Style Sweet and Sour Roasted Pineapple. Yum!
