Young, broke & fabulous.

Tonight, Rick and I celebrate, along with all of our friends, the engagement of my best friend Brigitte and her amazing fiance, Wisang.

It’s pretty special getting to be apart of such a loving and exciting time in someones life. I know what it feels like to be inlove, to be engaged, to be planning our special day. But seeing how happy it makes someone else to be in the same position? Gets me all teary just thinkin’ about it. I guess I’m a sucker for love.

Congratulations again guys, I couldn’t imagine a nicer fellow to sweep my home gurl off her feet. You two are adorable and I can’t wait to go Wedding planning crazy with Brigitte. (What’s better than being engaged at the same time as your BFF? Nothing! Heck, if we fall pregnant around the same time in the future my head might pop off with eternal excitement!)

Today I have been engaged for one year. This time last Christmas Eve, I was at work, waiting to finish for the day to come home and watch cheesy Christmas movies with Rick. I had no idea he had another plan in mind, and normally I’m a bit fussy about plans changing, but I was pretty happy with this one, so I let it slide.

The year has gone incredibly quickly. It feels strange knowing we’ve been engaged for 12 months already, and will soon be jumping into Wedding planning mode. It just doesn’t feel like it’s gone that fast? And it seems insane that I’m planning my own Wedding? I’m getting married soon? What? Huh?!

I think it comes down to the fact that I never thought I’d be lucky enough to fall in love with someone who happens to be my best friend, and some how, who happened to love me back. At least not this early in life. But I did, and words can’t describe how happy and grateful I am that that is how my life worked out. I will spend our future together trying to make that boy as happy as he makes me.

I’m sure glad you proposed a year ago Rick, and I can’t wait to start planning and booking and saving for the day I become Mrs Lavers.

Happy Engagement Anniversary :)

It’s nearly been a whole year since this boy proposed to me. I can’t believe how quickly it’s gone, or that very soon I will be able to say “I get married in 12 months!” …before I know it I’ll be Mrs Lavers.

Woah!

(In a good “woah” way of course!)
