Well, well, well (three holes in the ground). Turns out I'm not a very good blogger when I'm not sitting in class not paying attention to lecture. I'm gonna have to work on this.
The closer and closer graduation gets to me, the more I want to not walk. I'm going to, of course, because my mom and TC would both have words for me if I didn't, but I'm, just typically lazy and don't want to. I just want to go to Disney World, to be honest with you.
The weekend after we get back from Miami, I'm going wedding dress shopping for the first time. I hate trying things on. You know what would be perfect? If I found the dress on my very first shopping trip. Heck, the very first dress I put on. That happens, right?
I happen to be feeling exceptionally lazy lately.

I hope you're the last words I ever utter.
I both love and loathe today.
Why do I love it?
Well, I booked my wedding today! The date will be Saturday, February 8, 2014. The ceremony and reception will both be held at the same place, a small plantation not far from TC's parents' house and where we went to high school. It's going to be lovely. I also love today because I got my fingernails and toenails all polished up real pretty for some friends' wedding this weekend. I went with TC's best friend's fiancee. We joke that those boys always have to do everything together, including, apparently, get married. (Side: As much as I love getting complimented on my ring, I suppose I'll forever have to answer the question, "Is that a YELLOW diamond?" Oh well. First world problems.) Also, TC comes home tomorrow, and I get him for an extra couple of days this time around.
Who do I loathe it?
I need to clean the house, and I know I won't have time unless I practically kill myself tonight. I still have to write my Louisiana history essay, our final exam in the class. And I'm pretty sure I'll have a to read a lot before doing so. I just cannot bring myself to do it. I sat in traffic on Essen Lane today. It made me want to take my car off-road and/or smash it into every other car on the road (oh, except you actually have to be GOING at some speed to do that).
(I feel super annoying when I blog nowadays. Maybe once school is over I'll have more interesting things to talk about.)

Goin' to the chapel, and we're gonna get ma-a-a-ried!
I'm engaged, you guys! I'm going to be Mrs. The Captain!
He did a phenomenal job on my ring. The only tips I ever gave him were that I really love yellow diamonds and that pear shape is my favorite.
He had asked me a month or so ago about rings, but the way he asked made it seem like it was just a passing thought. I thought maybe it could happen some time this year, but I've gotten into the habit of not getting my hopes up about anything, so he completely caught me off guard.
He was really sneaky about it. I was out running errands on my lunch break yesterday, and he decided we should go get lunch and use one of our coupons that have been piling up. So we went to Bay Leaf, one of our new favorite places. After lunch, he told me I should follow him to his parents' house so that we could put his grandfather's old ironing board, which is to be ours now, into my car. I suggested we just switch vehicles, but he insisted he needed to put some wood in the back of his truck so we both needed to go. So off we went. When we got there, he told me to go to the front door because that's the only door his key works on. Once he met me up there, he got his keys out to unlock the door, and conveniently dropped them on the ground. Just as I was turning to him to make a smarty pants comment about him being clumsy, he's kneeling there with a ring asking me to marry him. I think I just stared at him confused for about 30 seconds. That is truly a moment I will never forget for as long as I live. The way his voice sounded, the nervous/excited look on his face, everything. It wasn't anything elaborate, but it was just so perfect.
He tells me he was planning to wait until my graduation. He had just picked up the ring yesterday morning, and obviously it was burning a hole in his pocket.
I'm just thrilled. Also, I'm completely terrified and stressed out, and I feel so rushed. Uuuuggggghhhhhh.
