It's a Crazy Life, but a Good Life

So wow. In the 3 months since I last updated I have gotten engaged, graduated from college and started a new job. And those are just the huge things. That doesn't include the canoe trip to Augusta, celebrating 4th of July at the river house or the everyday monotony of cleaning, cooking, laundry and starting my wedding workout program!
So big things first. The engagement. Cory and I got engaged on April 25th when we went to Biltmore for the day. I absolutely love it there. It reminds me of all the grand houses I visited in England and it makes me feel a little like Lizzie Bennett traipsing about the country side. We've been several times but I had the inkling that this was THE time. After one foiled attempt in the gardens, he asked me in a little alcove in front of the house. He was so nervous that there wasn't going to be a time to ask and he was ready. He said he felt like Frodo carrying around THE RING. haha. So of course I said yes and have been constantly answering my moms many questions with "yes" "no" or "I like that one best" ever since. She has very easily taken the role of wedding planner and I am glad to let her do it. She is so talented and much more creative than I ever hope to be. So now I mostly just wait for December 5th to get here and plan the honeymoon down to every small detail. We are going to Disney World and ever since I booked it I have been slightly obsessed. We are super excited about it though!
About three weeks after I graduated I found out I had gotten a job at the Department of Transportation as a GIS Analyst. Basically, I make maps which is a great job for a geography major. It is exactly what I wanted to do and I love it! I feel so blessed to have gotten such a wonderful job at such a hard economic time. I work with some really great people and get off at 4 every day which I absolutely love. And I will have exactly the number of vacation days I will need saved up in time for the wedding!
Right now I am just trying to get all the small details of getting married taken care of. I booked the temple on Wednesday and did not stop smiling for about 2 hours afterwards. Something about that just made it seem more real somehow. Right now Cory and I are in the process of looking for a house. We have been approved for a loan so now all we have to do is find our house! It is a very exciting but draining process! We have also started registering places and it is so much fun! It will be even more fun when we have a house to picture all these things in! Well, that is a very quick and dirty update on my life! Now that I am sort of caught up with everything I will hopefully be better about posting consistently on here! I will definitely have a lot going on to write about! :)
