I am definitely the world’s worst blogger. I love to blog (mainly because I love going back and reading my posts months and years later), but I never think about it.

I feel like this blog, one that I carelessly registered for over two years ago, is going to be a huge compilation of some of the biggest events in my life.

Reasons for a LONG engagement:-Jamie’s dad is deploying this August for a 12-month tour. Obviously his dad has to be at our wedding. -My… Keep Reading
