Twenty-one Days.

So I'm a planner maniac.

I find peace in planning out what is to come with my day, week, month, year, you name it.

This morning I have been filling in what needs to be done for the next several months.

What I am realizing is how awesome it is that I come home in exactly 21 days.

Wanna see what my life looks like until I come home? 

(Probably not. But this is my blog and I do what I want) ;]

April 20:

Mark Driscoll comes to Convocation.

(You bet it's in my planner. And you better believe we will be going NUTS when he says "Seattle!")

April 22: 

Beach Volleyball game!

(Against death from above... that's intimidating)

April 25:

Lab practical for Anatomy Lab.

April 26:

Research Paper Due.

(The one I spent literally 9 hours working on all yesterday)

April 29:

Volleyball finals!

(West Coast-Best Coast!)

May 1: 

Last day of official classes!

May 3-7:

Finals :\

May 10: 

On a flight out of Lynchburg to SeaTac at 5:30 am.

(The whole gang is flying together--Matt, Ky, Ry, myself and Sarah!)

(Sarah is all of our friend who is in both weddings!)

That's it my friends! 

How are your classes/work going?

Since I only have 21 days until I get back to good ol' Enumclaw, I am making some 21 day goals for myself! (Because like I have said in the past, 21 days makes a habit).

Here they are:

One: 

Workout every single day!

(So far this week I have awaken early so I can get in a quick work out before class... Yes, I think I deserve a high five for that one. It's actually given me tons more energy than I have when I don't do that, so I've been popping out of bed at the first sound of my alarm!)

Two:

(I have $54 in my checking account... My goal is to not dip into my savings in order to sustain my life for the next 3 weeks. Impossible you say? We'll see, I am a college kid you know? We're extra talented at finding creative ways to save money. And there is a plasma bank in town... I could always donate some plasma to make $40. Yeah, that might be going too far.)

Three:

(Note: This is not a goal by choice, but more of no other option. I only have 3 more free drink cards for the campus Starbucks and then I'm done with coffee until I get home or someone else wants to buy me coffee... Bad time to run out of coffee money right before finals!)

Four:

(ROCK my finals!)

How I love plans and how I love feeling ready for what is to come!!

Lets kill it the next 21 days!

Wedding Update.

We officially know where and what day or wedding will be!

When: Friday August 3rd, 2012.

Where?: Pickering Barn in Issaquah, WA.

The Funny little note about the Pickering Barn--that's actually where we went to prom for Matt's junior year. When he went with Mimi. HA!

Also, he took me to the town of Issaquah for dinner the night he proposed.

Also, The Pickering Barn was our very first thought when we were thinking about places, but we didn't want to fork out the dough for it. Turns out God settled everything on the financial side of it and that will be where us love birds get hitched.

Besides that, not a whole lot of planning going on.

We know our color scheme.

Gray.

Pale Yellow.

Peach/Coral.

With a hint of Navy Blue.

It sounds crazy, but don't worry. We have a vision.

Also we are looking for any vintage chandeliers, mason jars, old bird cages, funky empty picture frames I can paint,

I love the rustic vintage look, and Matt loves me, so he loves it too.

If you have any questions or suggestions, let us know!

And if you'd like to help with something feel free to jump in.

&Love,
