I BOOKED THE CHURCH!!!!!!
I am SUCH a grown up.
Last.fm has finally figured out that when I click “Play My Recommendations,” I really mean “I want to hear some motown.” I love it.
I have had so little to type lately! Sorry for any family members out there who are looking for content or updates and not just pictures of places I thought about holding a wedding. I’ve been working at least 40 hours a week, sleeping when possible, meeting my fiancé occasionally, and trying to focus on getting this planned. I have an agenda for tomorrow, though, and provided I can drag...
Every member of my top 5 bands for the week is some kind of grouping of people. Clubs, drifters, societies, or even just a pair. Obviously, I’m going through a fear of abandonement phase. Obviously.

More pictures of the gorgeous Dairy Barn and its surrounding area (also gorgeous!) can be found at my flickr. It really is a great place, and if I hadn’t decided on a wedding in the dead heat of a South Carolina summer, I would be holding both ceremony and reception there. As it is, our other locations will be just as cool. Don’t you worry.
What could be more lame than a mall rat in the Boone, NC mall?
We have a photographer and a reception venue! We are getting married!
This morning, half-awake and still in bed, I thought of something and liked the sound of it and so do you know what I did?
I grabbed a notebook and I wrote it down.
This sounds like small potatoes, but it has been so, so, so long since I wrote anything that wasn’t work related, a diary entry recapping my day, or a list. This was none of those things. It was the best way to start my day,...

It’s a low blow using a Beach Boys song to get me excited about your movie, but the combination of “Sloop John B.” and Josh Charles delivering a pitifully honest monologue make this early footage of Brief Interviews With Hideous Men, John Krasinski’s adaptation of the late David Foster Wallace’s short story collection, look damn intriguing.

You guys! I am doing this! I am getting this wedding planned and it is going to be ok!
On Thursday, Josh and I are both off and we are driving to Charlotte. We have a meeting at noon to check out a ceremony/reception location, and we have a meeting at 3:00 to talk to a photographer. Both are available on our date. Both are fairly reasonably priced (at least compared to the other highway robbers...

Good morning! I’m going to Charlotte today to try on wedding dresses at a trunk show. I will probably also go to Target and to the Apple Store, because Boone has NEITHER of those things and I love BOTH of those things (places).
Hopefully, if the place I’m trying on isn’t too stingy, I can have lots of pictures to reference when I get back. Do places usually feel ok about...

Boone tumblr meetup?
I haven’t seen any of you in foreverrrrrr.
I need to go to the gym. I should go to the gym. The gym is so close and I’m paying them to let me go there so I should, for all intents and purposes, be walking out the door right now and going to the gym.
But do you see how cold it is in Boone? And I have a heated mattress pad! Does the gym have a heated mattress pad? I don’t think so.
Sunday. Sunday I will definitely go to the...

I have my Bachelor’s in Creative Writing. How long do you think it would take me to get my teacher liscenture for middle grades math and science?
I understand that this field of study is the almost opposite of my original major. What I need you to understand is that my favorite things are sea monsters, dinosaurs, bugs (for the most part), and calculations. I think I missed the boat the...
