Posting as Mrs. Dork

Why, hello. My name is Mrs. Dork.

Yeah, I haven't posted since I got married (or much before I did, due to crazy wedding stuff), and, hello self, you've been married for almost a month! 

So basically this is my Hi-I've-got-a-new-name-now and I'm-married-now-!!!! post. 

Juju and I have had very busy summers, full of weddings (fine, just mine), adventures in Belize, camp, and more adventures. I'll be honest, I'm not even sure where all Juju has been this summer, since she hasn't stopped going! And it's really hard to get by without seeing your BFF for a MONTH!

We wish we were able to blog more, but life oftentimes gets in the way. However, we have some super cool/rad/awesome ideas for the upcoming months! And since we will actually be able to see each other almost every day at school, it makes blogging so much easier.

So stay tuned for some fun new challenges! 

Hearts and cupcakes!

until now...

my life, especially in the summer, is like one giant fruit salad...  i'm a mango and my summer activities are different fruits that are all chopped up and tossed together... so far my salad is pretty full of variety and it's only the middle of july!  as jb and i have both been busy out of our wits, our posting has been a little.. well.. nonexistent i guess you could say :/ tomorrow another fruit will be added to the salad.. but fruit is a rather strange way to refer to one of the largest events in my best friend's life... a beautiful ceremony that will mark the beginning of her life as half of a greater whole, the "better half" of something beautiful.


(please note that the above portion was written the day before the wedding but, procrastinator that i am, i am just now finishing it.  by this time the happy couple is somewhere off in the Caribbean.. )


anyway.. here is a sampling of the princess and the party :)
i can't wait to see the pictures from the photographer!!

 

anyway :)

i'm in the process of travelling to florida for a sort of family vacation...

(i saw process because it's going to take us about 4 days to get there... we only live in louisiana but we have friends and relatives all in between so we have to stop and stay the night or at least for coffee...)

(i say sort of because my dad has to go anyway for a big conference...)

so i'll try to take cool pictures... somehow since i currently have no camera

(digital that is... i'm going to take some with my vintage Pentax but i'll have issues trying to upload them (; but i shall try! ) 

toodles!

Heart Day

I've come to the conclusion that only people in a relationship actually like Valentine's Day. And I totally understand it. I hated it until I found Dork (aka my future husband, Kaleb). But now I kind of like it. We go on dates pretty frequently, and he oftentimes brings me flowers/presents on a random day just because he loves me, so we like to make Valentine's extra special. Usually he likes to surprise me, which is what he did this year.

This year's surprise was a trip to a super fancy restaurant that I've been wanting to go to for years.  YEARS, I tell you! So we ate super wonderful fancy food. He even dressed up in a suit! For me! He doesn't like to wear suits unless it's for church, so I felt pretty special. 

Since we're just too cute for the world to not see...

My Future Husband

Recently, I posted about my recent (or not-so-recent) engagement and I figure that I ought to introduce to soon-to-be husband. This is Kaleb, but I call him Dork.

Isn't he a cutie? (The answer is yes.)

We've been dating for three years and we're getting married in July!

This guy knows me better than I know myself. He's my other half and my best friend. And I can't wait to spend forever with him.

Berets and Beignets (aka 4th Day of Hat Week)

It was accidentally beret day! Juju and I both wore one today. And we didn't even call each other planning to be twins! You know what they say about great minds...

I borrowed my Grampa's camera (yes, my Grampa is cooler than me with his DSLR camera, ginormous Mac, and his brand new Macbook Pro) so we decided to play around with the settings, thus resulting in some funny lighting. Watching Grampa try to figure out what happened to his settings ought to be interesting.

Isn't Juju's dachshund pin absolutely adorable?

There's something I have yet to announce to our little blog, but I suppose it's as good a time as any. 

I recently got ENGAGED!

Recent being two months ago, but still. 

Here's a picture of my gorgeous ring.

  

Didn't he do good? He picked it out all by himself. :)

Juju and I are both excited for tomorrow--we're wearing our favorite hats!

And they might be somewhat interesting.
