As I've grown up I've noticed a few things... For instance, in the church it's all about age... When do you turn 8 and get baptized? When are you 12 and able to go to Young Women's? I bet you can't wait until you are 14 and can go to dances. 16 yet?? You get the picture... So once I graduated high school it instantly became what are you going it do for a career? In all honesty I didn't know then and still kind of don't know now. I know I want to be in the health care field, but as for what I'm still not sure. I'm almost 27... After graduation it also became, when are you going to get married??? WHAT??? I seriously got so sick of hearing this question that I tried to avoid situations where I may be asked about it.
So, now that I'm getting married in 2 months (can you believe it???) it's slowly becoming another question... When are you and Rusty going to start having kids? How many?? Rusty and I are old by "Mormon Standard" to be getting married, but does that mean we can't enjoy a year or two like most married couples? We have had this conversation and have said we wouldn't be upset if we ended up getting pregnant in the first year, but it'd be nice right? Neither of us really has a set number of kids either. We just know we want some and however many the Lord will give us.
So, I guess what I'm saying is why all the questions? Why can't people just live their lives and do what they want without all the questions??? Does/did anyone else feel like this???

...
So, have I told you that I'm busy? Because if not, I guess I should... I'm kind of busy... Who would have thought that keeping a wedding simple would still be stressful?? I figured that if I kept it simple it wouldn't be as stressful, but it is... :( I'm working on this. Maybe it's just my personality. For a non-perfectionist (at least I don't think I am, others may say different) I sure have had some stress. I'm thinking that it's mostly work, ok it is all work, but working a more than full time job and planning a wedding isn't much fun. I'm not sure how people do it.
Ok enough with the ranting... On to other things! I haven't blogged in a bit so a quick update. On the Fourth Rusty's Aunt and Uncle had all his family over for a big BBQ and wedding shower. It was fun to relax and talk with his family. I had one of the biggest compliments given to me by his Uncle and I hope I can live up to his expectations! He told Rusty he wasn't sure how he did it, but I was a good one, and he should do what he can to keep me. (I've got them all tricked!! ;) just kidding) Rusty and his family all said that was a pretty big deal so I was pretty flattered by it. It was really fun talking to his Aunt and Grammie who I haven't been able to spend much time with. We received a lot of our kitchen stuff so we can cook, but would still be eating off paper plates and silverware... Less clean up I guess right? :)
Judith took our engagement pictures and did an AWESOME job... to see some of them you can check out my Facebook page or just check back... I'll get around to posting some soon!
Rusty had a few interviews this month with the Texas Department of Agriculture as well as the USDA. He was offered a job with TDA here in Austin, and is still waiting to hear one way or the other from USDA. He's hoping for an offer from USDA, but we are grateful for the job he would have at TDA if that is what we get. He's very excited about the upcoming opportunities, and the experiences he will gain from these careers.
Everything else is going well. We are figuring things out for the wedding one piece at a time, but I can say as stressful as it gets, I'm VERY grateful to have my mom and sisters and sisters-in-law to help me with it all. It's been fun at times, and stressful too, but I'm not gonna lie. I'll be VERY happy when it is all over, and I don't have to think about it anymore!
Love y'all!
PS... have I told you that I love this man???

SWAGGER WAGON
This is TOO funny... Maybe I'm a little behind with it, but I laughed. Maybe one day I'll have a Swagger Wagon too... :)

The Ring
Rusty gave me the real ring today! I'm not gonna lie, it's been weird wearing it on my left hand since I'm used to wearing the one he made me there. I'm getting used to it though. Here are a few of the actual ring he designed and had made! Love y'all!!
Showing a little of how excited I am... Rusty says I'm the only person he knows who can actually make an emoticon face... You know... one of these :)
I think this is the best picture I have of the ring he made me... I love this ring, and now wear it on my right hand... It's fun to see the two of them at the same time!
Side view of the ring. I love the little details!
He did a GREAT job, huh?? I love it! He gave it too me pretty quietly when he brought me lunch today at work, and I love that he didn't make a big deal out of it! He knows me so well! I can't wait until I am married to him, and we get to share the rest of eternity together!
