the most special weekend...ever

Last weekend our dear friends from NY came all the way down to help us celebrate our engagement. apparently the 'surprise' had been in the works for quite some time. i cannot express how special seth and i felt the entire weekend. i am not very good at people fussing over me but it doesn't get any better than spending time with close friends all weekend.

we danced our tooshes off, ate mexican food, drank margaritas. the weekend was magical (minus seth getting sick during the party).thank you to katie, elliott & julie for making the trip here. thanks to jarod, liz & jordan for coordinating the whole thing.

lunch hour is like a curse...

you sort of look forward to it all morning...then you leave for lunch, the minutes tic away and you just have to go back. i think the weather today (despite the wind) is only encouraging my resistance to go back to work...

perk of today's lunch hour: today i ate an american cheese oozing, pesto doused turkey panini on rye bread. hmmm mmm good!

going to the chapel...

Lately my life has been slightly consumed with wedding plans. i love planning and events (weddings would be my obvious favorite) and everything that comes along with it. i am extremely excited to be planning my own wedding but decisions are hard to make. planning a birthday party or shower or work function is all easy because you know at some point in your life you will plan another. weddings. yes. hopefully at some point i will help people plan these all the time. but. this is the only wedding i will plan that is a reflection of my life (my life with seth!) and decision making is hard. i think we are checking things off our list rather nicely but then i always start to second guess myself. mostly when it comes to things that cost a pretty penny :) sometimes i get embarrassed that i love [wedding] planning so much...it seems like that is what every [snotty] girl wants to do at some point in their life but snotty or not i have decided to embrace one of the things that makes me happy so sorry if i talk about weddings or get a little too excited if you have an occasion in your life that calls for a celebration!

exciting (!) wedding details that are set:
Location: The Marler residence (Seth's high school counselor---i for one love that detail) - a great piece of land in Norman with a pond and some other cool stuff.
Caterer: Big Truck Tacos
Photographer: 207 Photocoop
Flowers: Birdie

yay!

as a result for my love of planning and all things pretty i have neglected pistachio. today is the day pistachio and I rekindle our love.

the rest of my life

seth asked me to spend the rest of my life with him 2 weeks ago today. i haven't posted about it because - well - i feel like anything i post isn't worthy. i will say there is nothing like the knowledge that you are in the presence of the person who will be your better half for the rest of your life. i am so excited that that person for me is mr. joshua seth scott.



seth proposed on february 8th - seth says he got a fiance for his birthday (which i love). we were in griffith park for a picnic where seth gave me flowers, a shot of tequila (cheers! to the rest of our lives) and a gorgeous ring!

s: will you marry me?
d: yes!
s: you want to me my wife...?
d: duh!







the whole day was magical! we both love to throw parties...and now we get to plan what will be the best party our lives...our wedding!

happy valentine's day.

my home

the lovely erica smith featured my house on her blog yesterday. i love erica. she is so sweet and always so genuine in everything she does. i told her that she makes our house look so much cooler than it actually it is (i think she has a knack for photography) but i can also credit it to all my years of obsessive thrift shopping...the house is like my mini museum of amazing finds.

check out her blog: a funny girl.

happenings

1. oklahoma has officially experienced either a) winter storm #2 -or- b) winter storm #1 2010. the ice and snow are so beautiful it is funny how they can cause such distress. i secretly love being stranded though.

2. i am making some fun valentiney things. a) some actual valentines that incorporate...yep...you guessed it mustaches -and- b) some messages in a bottle. if any boys actually read this you should try and get one for your honey. they are miniature little messages of love and due to their miniatureness they are super cute.

3. seth and i go to los angeles in less than a week. if anyone has any suggestions like a) the best restaurant you've ever eaten at b) a place to get a killer dessert c) your favorite place to purchase cool things or d) all of the above --- we would to have your secret intel so please send your knowledge our way.
