To celebrate our future nuptials, Brian and I decided to have a special date night on October 13th! We went to dinner at Em Chama's (which Brian likes to call the "meat Christmas" restaurant) and it was delicious! After stuffing our bellys full, we embarked on the journey to find our halloween costumes. Originally we wanted to be Batman and Robin, but after a failed costume we decided on Maverick and Goose from Top Gun. I must say that we look pretty legit, especially in the aviators! Pics to come...promise! After finding our costumes we needed to waste time before our movie...so of course we wandered around Wal*Mart! While there, Brian happened to find the Farmer's Almanac for 2012....we immediately turned to October of 2012 to see what the future will hold for the weather on our special day.
It said "Oct. '12. Temperatures near normal and precipitation near normal.Temperatures should average from 59 in north to 67 in south. Coolest October 4-8, 16-20, and 29-31; warmest October 2-3, 12-15, and 23-27. The best chance for showers and thunderstorms Ocotber 3-6, 15-18, and 28-30. The storm at month's end will likely be the strongest. It turns very cool at the end of the month."
Most people aren't too concerned about the weather...but our ceremony is going to be held outside, so knowing that our date of October 13, 2012 falls into the warmest and driest category is pretty awesome and puts me at ease! A little bit anyways....haha.After exploring at Wal*Mart, Brian and I went to see "What's Your Number?", a romantic comedy of sorts. It turned out to be rather cute and really funny....so all in all, we had a great year-to-the-wedding-celebration!
Alright, well now I must brag on Brian just a little bit because he is just so incredibly good to me! I came home a couple weekends ago to find a surprise on our kitchen counter. There was a very sweet card from Bri and at the bottom it said to enjoy some chocolate flowers in the fridge. I was curious what he meant by chocolate...but at the same time, I didn't care! Who doesn't love surprise chocolate flowers!?!
He had taken oreos, kit kats, and reese's peanut butter cups and made me flowers out of them! I think he's so stinking cute...and defnitely a keeper! Oh how I love him!
The next couple of weeks are keeping us busy with work and soccer...especially for Brian. He is taking his team to Joplin, Missouri to compete at the State Tourney! I'm very proud of him and excited to see how the team plays! There is a light at the end of the tunnel...or at least at the end of this VERY busy month!
Brian and I are planning a trip to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida from November 1st through November 6th! We will be visiting Brian's Papou and will be soaking up the sun, laying on the warm beaches, reading, working out, eating, and just enjoying a slower paced life for a week. I am so looking forward to this break and the time that we'll get to spend together. With working two jobs and having Brian work and coach, we haven't gotten to see each other much. I'm very thankful for the occupations, friends, family, and opportunity for B to coach....but it's always nice to get away and re-charge your batteries, ya know? This is also a bit of an early birthday present for Brian...he'll be 27 on November 12th!!! YAY for birthdays and YAY for Florida! :)
Stay tuned for another blog post soon...we've gotten quite a bit done over the past few weeks and I can't wait to share it all with you! But for now, I'm off to catch up on my Grey's!!! Sweet Dreams Everyone!
