No. 7: Simply Put

I stumbled upon a quote from a song today and found it to be simply put, well wonderful. It made me smile and think of how lucky I am.

She said what she wants is a man to be faithful
A true heart somebody willin’ and able
To stay by her side through thick and thin
A tender touch every now and then

She’s not hung up on fairy tales
Or some dream at the bottom of a wishin’ well
Fancy cars or diamond rings
What she wants most are the little things
-Brooks & Dunn

I must admit, I enjoy something "special" every now and then. A surprise, something as simple as a random I love you text message will do the trick. However, what I love most of all about being with Zach is how simple it all is. Its a no fuss relationship yet still exciting and thrilling. The fact that we can have fun while studying/watching football together makes it all worth while.

Approximately 7 months to go until the wedding day! Zach's mom asked me the other day what I was looking forward to the most and to be honest it is simply to be in the same city again. To be able to come home watch Reba or Grey's Anatomy reruns on the couch. To just be with each other for more than 30% of the time. I will be happy to just have time, simple moments to share together.

Sometimes, its the simple things that make you the happiest. And its the simple things that make you realize how lucky and happy you truly are.

Typical Sunday... Football and Studying, somethings never change.

No. 6: To Do Lists

I have a problem. I like love to make to-do lists. Needless to say I love even more checking things off those to do lists. With wedding planning, my to-do list is every growing. But I am proud to report as of the first of October, things are really starting to come together... proof, well it lies in the list.

1. Book Venue
2. Book Florist
3. Book Photographer
4. Find Wedding Dress
5. Pick out Bridesmaid dresses
6. Invitations
7. Turn in Passport Application -Procrastination is key on this :)
8. Book Caterer
9. Book DJ/Band (Almost)
10. Honeymoon
11. Book Cake Baker (Appointment Made)
....and so on.

So look-y there we are getting there! Believe it or not had we stuck to our original date we would be getting married in a week. Knowing now where we are, I am so glad God led us to push the date back. Since we are still in separate cities, that might not have worked out so well.

But we are getting there. Things are falling into place and life couldn't be better.

So there, now everyone is up to-date on my to do list love habits. And that one actually has made progress!

With love.

No. 5: Alum

Well, this past weekend really made it real. Zach and I are alumni. No doubting that fact anymore.
The realization came over the following:
1. It costs us more for 2 tickets to one game than it did for 2 season student tickets
2. We could arrive 5 minutes before the eagle flies, get in and sit comfortably before the game. No 3 hours of waiting in lines.
3. We sat next to a blaring and obnoxious South Carolina band, thus making us even prouder alumni.

And then there is this, which should make any Auburn Alum or faithful proud:

"This small town was the best of the best. Before the game, friends told us all the campus was like Clemson. Not true. This place was pristine with class. It had character. And the people had character. They even recycled."
