Yay, We’re Engaged!

After almost seven years of dating, Joshua and I are finally engaged to be married!

Obligatory ring picture!

If you’re a regular reader, you know that I’ve been rather absent over the last week.  We started moving into the new place on June 1st, and finally finished moving on June 6th.  Then we were expecting to have the internet set up on June 8th, but some complications with Comcast led us to not have the internet hooked up until June 10th (last Friday).  I thought I’d be blogging Friday night: apologizing for the posting delays, talking about the new place, and posting pictures of some of my food eats of the last week (like this awesome salad I made with hummus dressing–in case you didn’t know, hummus makes THE BEST salad dressing).

INSTEAD(!!), Josh proposed Friday night (yay!!!), and ever since, I’ve been enjoying our engagement weekend–going out to eat, hanging out with family, watching my dad (unintentionally) light fireworks upside down (sadly, no pictures of that one!), and celebrating our butts off :)

Unfortunately, it is Sunday, so our celebration weekend had to come to an end.  But not until we had a little bit more fun…

I suck at bowling, but hey, I look good doing it!

All you brides-to-be, newly weds, and married folk, what advice do you have for us as we start our planning??!

Moving Day #2: Eats and Fruits

Catching-Up?

Another long day, but things are really coming together!

Today’s Eats:

  • Breakfast–Josh and I each got smoothies from Caribou Coffee.  He got the Mango Orange Key Lime (good but very sweet!) and I got the Pineapple Coconut (tasted just like a Pina Colada!)
  • Lunch–Cheddar and ham sandwich with chipotle light mayo
  • Dinner–Cucumber Ginger Mojito (so good that I ate the cucumber slices in the drink!) and the Grecian pizza (Caesar dressing, mozzarella and feta cheese, kalamata olives, and fresh artichoke hearts) from Tavern on France

Today’s Fruits (of our labor):

And it’s still not over!  We’ve got another load of boxes to bring over the new place, but we’re getting close to just being down to the furniture that will be going in our U-Haul tomorrow.

This may be adios, at least for the next couple days!  Our internet at the old apartment will be cancelled tomorrow, and our internet will not be installed at the new place until Wednesday.  I’m going to take the next few days to finish moving, unpacking, and catching up on work.  Hope you all have a good weekend!
