One month down!

We have officially been engaged for a whole month! It feels like it has gone by so fast, but at the same time it seems like forever ago when we were in Chicago. Since then I have busily been gathering wedding ideas (see upcoming posts), basking in the excitement of spreading the news, and then had to completely switch gears to start a new school year.

Tonight was our school's open house (I know it is July, but we have a modified year-round calendar, so we only had six weeks over the summer), and I actually had one parent come to "see my ring" because she got the whole story from her daughter who is one of my students. I was so excited at the enthusiasm of my students this year, as well as their parents, that it was less painful to spend our "month-iversary" apart while I was at work.

I came home from work and Kyle was watching The Proposal. For two reasons this was odd. 1. Kyle was watching a chick flick (and claimed he had no idea what movie it was) and 2. Because of the irony of the subject and our special day. 27 Dresses is actually on next, but I probably won't make it through that one due to an earlier wake-up call. Well, we did wind up getting to celebrate a bit together with a treat of Yoasis Frozen Yogurt and a toast to our first month. It should have been champagne, now that I think of it.

I am actually glad at this moment that I still have 13 months and then some to enjoy this time. Through all the ups and downs of being engaged and wedding planning, I am still completely overwhelmed by the excitement I feel about marrying Kyle and moving forward in our lives together.
