6 months down, 1 to go!

*phew*

The last few weeks have been a liiiittle bit crazy, but not too bad. Though, I know it's only going to get worse. I say, bring it on. ;)

My roommates found an apartment this week. That is exciting for many MANY reasons. But mainly because they will be living in the house next door to us. HEHE! :) NOt next door like I'm used to, but next door as in the next complete house over. It was a total God thing. They were getting a little concerned, and then all of the sudden, 2 houses went up for rent on our court! And TADAH! They got approved and are signing the lease tonight. So YIPPEEE for them!

We were planning on going to the Dublin Irish Festival tomorrow, but sadly it costs money...and we don't have any of that. It's aaaaallllll going toward the wedding at the moment.

On the upside, I found a new starbucks drink I would like to try next time I can get one for free. It is basically an Iced Double Shot with 1 pump white mocha, and 1 pump peppermint. Sounds yummy, right?? I found it online today, and I can't wait to try it :).

I have a list of things I have left to do for the wedding. It's mainly buying a few things, and putting them together (which I have tons of help for! :) ), but we have run into 1 snag. A bridesmaid dress I ordered online came to me in the complete wrong color. Everyone else thought it was a total nightmare, and until I asked an opinion I didn't think it was that bad. But, alas, it didn't even fit my bridesmaid correctly. Boo. SO, I talked to her about it and we decided I would send it back and we would just go shopping around here. Hopefully we can find something inexpensive before time runs out. I know wedding dress places are a pain when it comes to ordering so we are going to try and buy off the rack. But that is hopefully soon to be over and done with.

SO. Other than that things are good. I've been taking a lot of pictures, and messing with some old ones, and loving every minute of it. :) You can check them out at www.flickr.com/alishaskeel.

Not much more to update on. See ya!

Thoughts for the day + New Pictures

Hey everyone! Things are really good right now. :) Everything is coming together for the wedding, and I can't believe it's in a month and a half! WHOA!. So yes. Brian's been fantastic, and things have been really great between us. It is very encouraging that we have made it through our entire engagement process without stressing eachother out too much, or fighting too much. It's overall been a very enjoyable process, and I'm going to miss it once it's over. But I'm sure I'll be enjoying my new life with him enough to not miss it too much ;).

I recently started a photography account on a website called Flickr. There are tons of photographers on there, and I was really excited to join. I really wanted to get out and go take pictures while just driving around yesterday, but I ran into some phone problems and had to get that taken care of instead. So I ended up staying home and taking some pictures of my cat :). He's a fantastic model. I honestly think he loves my camera, because he literally poses for me. It's helarious to watch. :)

Enjoy!

I also just wanted to post a little about Derek Webb. He is an INCREDIBLE Christian singer who sings about issues that no Christian really wants to talk about. He has some really interesting views on what's going on in the world of Christianity today, and I would HIGHLY reccommend a listen. If you want any of him music, let me know. :)

sick sick, sick sick sick. yup.

Basically, I'm sick. My fatigue is awful, and my head feels like it's imploding. My nose is stuffy, and I'm super achy everywhere. BUT it's been okay because I've been sick with Brian, and now Rebecca. And it's nice having company. :)

So yes, I'm still not sure if work is going happen tomorrow, because I have a fever and don't want to give it to anyone else. The three of us think we got it from the Hospital (how ironic, right?). But we all visited Brian's mom there around the same time, and we all got sick around the same time...so that may be what it's from.

But overall, I'm good. I've been working on wedding stuff like mad, and it's been a blast. I have almost all of my addresses, and I am having a small craft party this weekend to work on invitations. I can't believe how close it's getting! I'm incredibly excited.

Other than that, nothing has really been going on. Things are good in my world!

Much love!
