Two months down, a lifetime to go

Last night it just hit me that Warren and I have officially been living together for a little over two months (though I started nesting much earlier). I'm all settled in and pretty much unpacked (all but one box that remains on top of the book case in the dining room--no clue what's in there). And my curling iron mysteriously disappeared sometime during the move. This is it, my home for the next 3-5 years. I love the location and how close I am to work. And on a good day I can make it to my parent's house in 10-15 minutes. Tomorrow we are getting up early and headed to Athens for the UGA vs. GA Southern game. This time last year Adam was prepping me for what was about to happen. I was about to meet the crazy UGA fan, WarrenT. A year later I'm going to the games as the crazy UGA Warren's fiance, and next year I'll go as Mrs. crazy UGA Warren. I'm ready for many more years of the crazy UGA fans, and maybe many years down the road we'll be watching one of our own become a UGA grad. How fun!

The Reason for the Season

It's football season! That's right, this Saturday UGA takes on GA Southern. I went to a small college with no football team, so when I started dating Warren, I adopted UGA as my team. I must say I was a good UGA football fan last season. I learned all the cheers, wore cute red and black outfits, drank numerous beers at the tailgates, and even ate a burger or two at Big Dawgs! This season will be just as fun I'm sure. Even though W has started law school, we still plan on going to at least two of the games (maybe 3 if I can talk him into it). Goooooooo Dawgs!

Love Note

Wanted to brag about what a wonderful fiance I have to anyone who reads this blog. This morning as I was packing up my purse for work, I found a sweet and loving note Warren wrote to me last night. He got home from the library after I had already gone to sleep. I've gotten to a point where I can sleep through basically anything including Warren coming home late at night. God forbid a fire or burglar because I would sleep right through it. I can't wait for tonight as W and I are staying in and enjoying each other's company. He's goofy, caring, serious, smart, and I love him.

Days to go: 133

The knot.com has a countdown of how many days until you get married. Today's number is 133. It's the first time I really thought about how many days until our wedding. I can't decide if that's a long time or not. I like to think of it as a little more than 4 months. Since someone posted my engagement announcement up at the bulletin board at work, random co-workers and people I don't even know have been congratulating me and asking me about the wedding planning. My answer is always "everything is pretty much taken care of". They seem shocked when I say that. I don't see how it takes some brides a year or more to plan their wedding. The only part that takes time is ordering the dress and waiting for it to be made. So, I continue to try to find little wedding planning details on a daily basis to do. Monday I printed out the DJ's list of songs and started high lighting songs I really like. Today I e-mailed the Hilton Garden Inn to make sure they know we need a shuttle to run back and forth from Villa Christina to the hotel. Planning a wedding can be stressful, but it is also lots of fun. I can't wait for the big day....just 133 days away!!!

Oh Captain, my captain!

Fearing that I would be bored when Warren was busy studying for law school, I volunteered to be the captain of my tennis team this season. Practice starts next week and I'm already freaking out about all that being captain requires. I have to attend a meeting on Saturday, collect dues and coaching fees, set up the coaching, pay the coach, see when people are out of town and come up with a line-up each week, go to each match and turn in the score card. I guess it won't be all that hard, but it's my first time. Between two tennis teams (ALTA and T2), poker nights, wedding planning, and Warren's law school, we see each other from about 10:00 p.m. until I go to bed around 10:30 p.m. It's the best half an hour of my day! We are going to try to block off Wednesday nights as an "us" night...just like when we were dating :) Thanks to Warren's sister, Tara, we are the proud owners of a Wii. I plan on having many Wednesday night Wii tournaments. If anyone wants to buy us RockBand as a wedding present, I won't mind.

It's Friday!!!

I had a nice long lunch with my fiance and wedding coordinator/friend/Warren's old co-worker also named Lindsay. I'm now waiting until I can't wait any longer to leave work and start the weekend. I'm seriously debating on going for a walk with my mom or going straight home to relax. I love walking with my mom after work, but I hate the Atlanta traffic and having to sit on I-85 to get from my parent's house to my new home. I'm also debating a much needed pedicure after the beach trip and a manicure since I will be showing off my new ring this weekend. We are headed to Cartersville for Paige Miller's engagement party. Paige is a life long friend of Warren's who will be getting married in April 2009. We haven't seen Paige or Josh since the half marathon in March. I'm also looking forward to seeing Tara (my soon to be awesome sis-in-law and one of my lovely bridesmaids). I'm really looking forward to the weekend. It's been hard being back at work this week and having to get out of bed before 10:00 a.m. I sure do miss vacation.

Back to work

I'm home from the beach and back to work :( Which means back to wedding planning :) This week we put deposits down for the ceremony music (string trio) the DJ and the get away car (1956 vintage Bentley!!!) Check it out here-- http://www.awhite-rollsroyce.com Before leaving for the beach we booked our honeymoon. I'm really looking forward to being back at the beach at Sandals Royal Caribbean in just a short 4 months from now as Mrs. Thomas. I think I may have people start calling me "LT" (similar to LC on The Hills). It has a very nice ring to it!

Vacation!

We are relaxing at the beach!!! Warren is sitting next to me on the couch playing texas hold 'em on our new I-Pod touch while I'm surfing the internet and blogging on his new Macbook. All of this with our patio overlooking the ocean....We are spoiled! This is a much needed break as the wedding planning stress was getting to me and the thought of quitting Warren's job and starting law school next week was getting to him. It's been nice to spend lots of time together as I fear that once school is in full swing we may only see each other for a short period of time each day. We are headed off to Bayman's Wharf in Sandestin tonight for some crab legs and rum runners. There's nothing like finishing the night off at the Whale's Tail right next door to our condo. We still have another full day and night ahead of us. It's been a great week, and I'm thankful that I have someone so special to enjoy it with :)
