As seen by Gus.

In a month I'm getting married! And in 11 days I get to see my guy!

1,2,3, and 4: Me, and two of my best friends spent the day downtown and explored some of the coolest antique shops.

5: Its been SO hot (duh. everyone knows that) I think I've been drinking way more than eating. Its just too hot to eat. I live on iced tea and water. 

6: Same as above... the fourth of July was 110 degrees. 

7 and 8: Whatever. A blah day. And M picked me a flower. But it was the neighbors flower...

9: My obsession with glass bottles continues.

10 and 11: Car ride to my Baba's house, and the picture that has been in her front hallway for as long as I can remember. There are certain things that should never change much; grandparent's houses should be one of them.

13: Family breakfast. HUGE portions, lots of coffee, and we got to sit by the jukebox. Guess who got to pick the tunes that serenaded the whole restaurant all morning? I hope everyone liked 70's rock. 

14 and 15: My (first) wedding shower was this past weekend! It was gorgeous and a lot of fun. Afterwards me and my maids went out for coffee. 

My last day of work was last week, I have about 2 weeks till I go down to PA for a week to see Cory! So I plan on getting A LOT done between now and then. Today I (half) finished a wedding craft project, and sent out the last payment for the photographer. Go me. 

After the week in PA, Corsizzle and I will drive back up here, to finish all the wedding stuff and then get hitched!!!! :)

berry bushes.

Last weekend the neighbors invited us to pick some of their raspberries and blackberries (I snagged a couple strawberries too). They had already picked several gallons, and there definitely more then just several gallons left on all those bushes. They said we would be doing them a favor. I thought that that this was going to be the best "favor" I've done for someone in awhile.

The neighbor showed us around his beloved garden, telling us about every plant, and the work that went into it. I just kept thinking.. this is what I always pictured the garden to look like from The Secret Garden. The neighbor has been retired for awhile now, and this is how he decides to spend his time. Being outside, caring for his plants, always improving on what is already lovely. He seems pretty content to me, and I think thats cool.

I can't believe its already July. Time is flying! But its going slowly too... The day that things are going to change forever is coming closer and closer, I don't think its sunk in yet.

If you think of Cory and I you could still pray for us please. Things are still very much undecided. We're taking a huge blind jump of faith together. Some days I feel like we're just jumping into a really big hole, but other days I'm very confident that we'll land on something wonderful.

Happy new month people!
