happy new year (OMG we're getting married in 2014)

i promise i will be back with a better post soon. historically i have always really liked taking advantage of the new year to reflect, regroup, and reassess and i know this year will be no exception. in the meantime, here's a bit of fun from one of my stocking stuffers: the fortune telling book for brides.

according to this knower-of-all, here's a little bit of what is in store for steve and i based on details of our proposal and our wedding plans:

if your proposal was on bended knee: "if your husband to be got down on one knee and proposed, it is likely that you will be parents tot three or more children."

if you got engaged by trees: "trees are symbols of life and the soul. becoming engaged under a tree symbolizes that you and your future husband will shelter each other all your lives, and serve as a grounding influence for each other."

if your wedding is between september 1-15: "you will be blessed with many opportunities throughout your life. don't hesitate: reach out to them as they are offered to you. chances you pass up may not come again."

aries / sagittarius: "this high-octane pairing will be full of laughter and adventure."

orchids as your wedding flower: "you and your husband will always be passionate about each other, and you will live in great luxury."

well fortune-tellers... there's a look into steve's and my future ;) see you all in 2014!

doubt truth to be a liar; but never doubt i love [hamlet]

happy friday everyone!!

a huge thank you to all the guest bloggers who gave me a chance to sit and take a breather this week. as it happens, however, i'm still trying to catch my breath.

the instagramaholics among you may have already caught wind, but today i am here to announce some very big, exciting news on loose from the zoo. steve and becky, as in the adventures thereof, as in me and that handsome bearded scoundrel, the stevedore, are getting married!!!

that's right, steve has decided to make me an honest woman. and, in case you don't follow me on instagram and haven't seen the bombardment of ring photos (apologies to those of you who DO follow), we are excited with a capital E. and a capital X-C-I-T-E-D.

it's times like this i wish i could just press pause on life and sit back to soak up all the wonderful things i have to be thankful for. between this, my trip to san diego (which was absolutely off the chain... come back next week to see pictures, i'll post about that once i've calmed down a little) my three day work week, and our new apartment together (again, expect posts about this one later) it's kind of hard to remember if / when life has ever been better.
