The excitement is brewing!

Its official! We are out of the three hundreds! That's right, only 299 days until Chris and I get married! I know, I sound a bit excessive and extreme, but I can't help it! I know we fight all the time, we practically drive each other insane, but everyday when I see him, whether I mad at him or not, I feel whole. There's just something about walking up to all 6'2" of him, swinging my arms around his neck and smackin' a kiss on him; he makes me so incredibly happy!

I've been practicing my new name again, I'd given it up awhile ago, but I've started doing it again. I also just bought a shirt, it says: The Future Mrs. Chris Teer, April 24,2010! I never thought I had the bride gene, but it's hitting (Thank goodness!). So after work today, I'm going to meet my mom and grandma at Davis Bridal. Mom is going to bring her Wedding Vail, we got it out yesterday to play with it, and it's GORGEOUS! It's a chapel length Vail with a headpiece (that will be removed). Anyway I am going to meet them, try on my dress with her Vail and see how it looks. I am also going to put my order in today to get my dress.

Oh my gosh! still can't believe it! I'm going to get my wedding dress TODAY!!! what an incredible feeling! My next big task will be finding a church. That has been SUCH a nightmare! I don't even want to think about it! But who cares! WEDDING DRESS TODAY!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great desire for CARBS!

Why is it that women have an overwhelming desire for carbs... That is a rhetorical question, I really know the answer, I just don't like the answer! It really is unfair all of the things us women have to go through. Not only do we get to experience the annoying feeling of craps, and the associating period. Oh no, as if that wasn't enough! We also get to deal with the 5lbs you gain right before! And that my friends is ANNOYING! And with all of that, you eat everything you see even though you know you shouldn't.

I know that God made us this way, and it's a great thing that we get to do, you know, reproduce. But at the same time I can't help but think "seriously?!" It's times like these that I really don't like Eve. She had to be on her period!! That is the only reason that legitimately explains why she did what she did. She was on her period, and she was hungry, and because you're on your period and you want to eat EVERYTHING, that is why she ate the apple! Yep, that's my theory! I just thought I would share that with you! I am now going to try and stop thinking of bread.

The End.

Adventures in Swing Dancing...

About a month ago, my parents, fiance, and I went to a big band swing dance night at The Rose Chapel . I found out about it because I was looking to have my wedding ceremony there. As it turns out, we had an AMAZING night... As can be seen by the following pictures....





A big band Buddy's Big Band was there and they played some awesome music. After this fabulous night, we learned that every Tuesday night at 8 they give swing dancing lessons there. Well the four of us have been going for about 3 weeks now, and I must say, people from the 40's were in SHAPE! Last night we learned the Balboa...

"Balboa today is commonly used as a general term for dances that come from southern California during the 1920s and 1930s, which makes the history very obscure. Most of the original Balboa dancers have passed and many of the swing dancers that followed continued to use their steps and sometimes styles to integrate into their "swing" dancing which some people today call "Bal-Swing".

Balboa is a form of swing dance that started as early as 1915 and gained in popularity in the 1930s and 1940s. It is danced primarily in close embrace, and is led with a full body connection. The art of Balboa is the subtle communication between the lead and follow, like weight shifts, that most viewers cannot see. As a result, Balboa is considered more of a "dancer's dance" than a "spectator's dance".

So Chris and I got this down pretty good I think... however, I woke up this morning SORE. My poor back and legs hurt! Granted it may have something to do with the power yoga I did with Deanna at work yesterday, but I think the dancing has something to do with it. We go back next Tuesday to learn the Bal-Swing... I'm scared. Also, on the 3rd, they are having a Big 4th of July swing dance. My sister Stephanie and her fiance Brad will be in town and they East Coast Swing, so we should have FUN!!!! I'm so excited!

Engagement Pictures!

All of these were taken by my sisters fiance Brad Whelan. He's so clever, and he did a remarkable job! Thanks Brad!
