My life has gotten so busy. "Has gotten" meaning in the last year. I used to have so much free time, but I guess that's what happens when you find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. The problem with the busyness, though, is that I really don't think much of it is blog worthy.

Like this weekend. Umm, Friday I had to work later than normal and then got some work-related emails later at night and had to take care of them. Saturday morning, I woke up and had some more work-related emails that I had to address, then went to J's 2nd cousin's 3rd birthday party. That may seem like a bit of a stretch, but she's really close to her cousin and we see the 2nd cousins (4 little girls) a lot. Actually, the 2nd oldest will be the flower girl in our wedding. And then after that we went to IKEA to look at Armoires for when we move into the new place. It actually ended up being a nice little Saturday. We wanted to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond as well, but we didn't have enough time....

And then today I did my dishes like a mad-man, and started cleaning the grout in my bathroom. Woot! Woot! Seriously.

Other than that, we've just been doing either wedding stuff or preparing to move in together. Here are some random updates:

J is now in the process of trying on dresses

Random move updates:
Basically that the money we've made from signing our new apt & selling old furniture is being used to buy new furniture that will better fit our life together. And it's a really fun process! For those of you who don't know my spending methods, when it comes to buying something big like furniture I tend to over-analyze, scrutinize, and think about it for way too long. Just like my dad. With J, we think about it for like a day or two, go over all options, and then buy it. Whamo. Just like that. Kind of fun.

And there you have it. That's the big huge update on my life.
