Stresses of a Stressed Bride

I have officially gotten lost from the blogging world. Ok online interactions in general have pretty much sucked. I dont post new blogs, i dont read blogs, and even facebook activity has declined greatly. I have had way too many other things on my to do list. But i am happy to report i have really attacked my to do list! I have my dress ready. My invitations sent out, the arrangements for food and other things done, and i even have my first Bridal shower tomorrow. its been such a crazy stressful road even though i am trying to keep it simple and cheap. I just want to celebrate with people that i love!

Hopefully we both make it through this experience to actually enjoy being married!!! Any advice on staying calm??

Back to school!

Well a full week of the new school year has passed.... It went pretty good considering all the crazy schedule changes we went through. They are now officially changing the start time of our school, so that made everything else shift all about. It will be nice to have it all settle down so we can get to know our students better. But so far it's been great. I am pretty sure i think every year that i wont like these kids as much as i liked my last group of kids, but sometime after Christmas i end up loving them anyway.... SO i cant stress too much that they dont know how to do the things i need them to do. I know it will come.. I am just ready to be done stressing about school, so i can focus on things for the wedding and Mikel... that's more fun to stress about!!! BUT now that we got our engagement pictures back from Kristal i am SO excited to pick some and make an invitation. It's going to be GREAT because Kristal took such AMAZING pictures!!! AHHH i love it!! But its definitely time for things to be not so crazy anymore!

Officially Engaged!!!!

Yep it's official! I am getting MARRIED!!! wow! Yes i know i know miracle do come true! Well let me answer all your questions now. Me and Mikel have been dating for 15 months now, we met because my Best Friend Kristen, is married to his best friend Eric. They set us up on a blind date over a year ago, neither of us wanted to go. And it was the first blind date either of us had been on. And look where it brought us? How did he ask you might want to know?? Well one of the first "recreational" things we did together was go 4-wheeling with Kristen and Eric.. SO naturally we went to spend a weekend up at Kristen's cabin this last weekend (the 7th and 8th) and we were out 4-wheeling and Eric stopped and said this looks like a great place to take pictures. So they took pictures, then Jordan and shelby took pictures, it was our turn. We got all set up to say Cheese, and he got down on one knee and said "Alisha i want to do this right, you are so important to me and you are my everything, i'd be so happy if you just said yes to one question.... will you marry me!~?" then he gave me a ring and of course i said yes. I knew it possibly was coming, because when i was in chicago he picked my dad up at the airport and when he was dropping him off he asked both of my parents permission to marry me. He was so excited he had to tell me after it happened! Then he went looking for rings while i was in chicago. He had his bro and sister go out multiple times to find the "perfect one" he did it all by himself. He even got the size by himself. He had played with my CTR ring in church one day and measured where it came on his pinky finger and used that as a guide... Creative kid. SO this is it the journey and planning begins! We are getting married NOVEMEBER 20th in the bountiful temple!!! Can't wait!! I am ready to try again for a happily ever after!
