And back to the grind.....

What a weekend! I feel like so much happened, yet it was so relaxing, and I'm not sure how that ended up happening, especially since I seem to find it particularly difficult to just do nothing nowadays.

The biggest news, the news that has me smiling and giggling incessantly every time I think about it, is that we bought our wedding rings! You'd think that just knowing we were getting married would be enough to send me into a fit of overwhelming joy, and it is, but with every wedding thing we check off, it just gets more real, and the rings are probably the most symbolic part of the whole thing. It's only fair that buying them and having them to look at over and over (and over) again.
The fiance's ring is awesome; I love it. It's so him. My ring is obviously pretty simple (and much less yellow than this picture), but that's ok because it really looks good with my great-aunt's antique engagement ring. I literally cannot wait for the fiance to put that ring on my finger and vice versa. Yay for getting married!!

I also bought a new car! Ok, so under normal circumstances this would be THE big news, but frankly, weding rings trump a new car any day. It is still exciting, thought. Say hello to my new sapphire blue Nissan Sentra 1.8 S w/ Special Edition Package! I love it, I love it, I love it. And I have to say that it is so much
more fun to buy a car when I have a.) the fiance and b.) my future brother-in-law (and ex-car saleman) with me. I'm sure those boys at the Nissan dealer hated us by the time we left, but I also feel confident that we got a really good deal and I didn't get screwed. Sorry to all feminists who now hate me for being such a girl.

And the final word about my wonderful holiday weeked: go see Superman Returns. Right now. If I ever have a celebrity affair, I hope it's with Brandon Routh.
