Happily After All

"Happily After All"

And no it isn't a typo. I know the normal fairy tale saying goes something along the lines of "....and they lived happily ever after." But I've always like "Happily after all" much better.

Fairytales are nice and all, but they're not realistic, nor does anyone actually get to live one, as perfect as life may be at times. That's why I favor "happily after all."

I read a book one time when I was in grade school called "Happily After All" and it was all about getting to a point in your life when you're finally happy, after all the crap that has happened to you in life.

That's really where I'm at in my life right now. I finally found the man I'm supposed to be with, that I'm going to marry and spend the rest of my life with. I'm happy now, after all the crappy boys I've dated and had to deal with. I'm finally happy with my family and get along with my parents and sister after all the fighting and bickering we did while I was growing up. After all the school I've put up with, and having to live here away from my friends and family, I'm happy that I'm almost done.

Getting the idea?? I'm living happily after all =]

My First Blog Ever!

I just set up my first blog ever. I never even knew what a blog was really a year ago, and now here I am with my own. I highly doubt I'll even pass along this information to family and friends (unless I start getting good!!).

I keep coming across all these different wedding blogs whenever I google something I'm looking for. It seems like a neat place to keep all my ideas at.

I suppose in the off chance that I actually attract some readers, I should probably tell a little about myself.

Right now I'm finishing my last semester at the University of Illinois. I've been majoring in Animal Sciences and just completed an AWESOME internship at the Animal Humane Society in St. Paul.

My life is extremely exciting right now and I don't think I've ever been happier. I got engaged on April 4th to Mr. T. He really is the love of my life and I can't wait to start our future together =] So right now I'm doing all the fun stuff planning for my wedding!!

I'm incredibly crafty (and pretty good if I do say so myself, ha!), so I'm planning on doing as many things as possible for my wedding myself. I'm going to try and do all the invitations, save the dates, favors, decorations, etc etc etc! I figure if I have a year to do things, I might as well take the time and do them myself. This way I'm saving money and doing something I love.

Blogging will probably become another outlet for me to express the boredom I constantly experience while stuck down here at school. So expect daily, if not bi-daily posts from yours truly!

Stay tuned, I'm sure it will be an interesting ride!
