fifty-five

55 used to be my lucky number...but today 55 is the amount of days until we get hitched and for real that number is way too high. I don't mean to whine but I won't lie to you there is 1 thing glamorous about being engaged showing off your soon to be hubby & your bling....other than that everything else can just be here already!
can't wait to start being mrs forrest brett gillette yayyyyyyyyyy!

going crazyyyy

dear {drama}...
the past few days no weeks no months and unfortunately a few more to come are making me a crazy person.
I thought june 23rd was our day. meaning the 2 of us. me. &. forrest. the one time when my style & choices and any quirky or crazy thing I like, my personal style it's okay because it's my day. everyone else got the memo why can't you open your eyes and see your way isn't the only way.
I've tried to be endearing, including, appreciating, understanding but I'm about at my wits end.
any thing I may say or do over the next oh 7O days will be classified as bridezilla.
