A note to my readers: I've decided that this blog will not only be about my adventures as a bride-to-be, but I will continue to keep blogging on this site after we are married. Future blog posts will probably include topics like:
How to NOT kill your husband 101
I'm not your mommy
Don't make me choose between you and the cat
Why "House Hunters" is a giant lie
How being a twin prepared me for marriage
My struggles with my new name/identity
Etc.
***************************************
I'm very excited about this prospect of blogging from this new point of view, and I hope you'll continue to read/follow/adore/stalk, whatever you want to do!
There have been some really funny things that have happened since my last entry. And no, I'm not referring to the conversation I had with a man in Office Depot this morning while I was trying to make business cards, "Here's MY card. Made it free. Vistaprint. (As if I'm the one person on the planet who hasn't heard of vistaprint... gee thanks, Mister!) It's brown. Keep it. No, really. (After I said, "Wow, love the swirls. Very nice." and tried to hand it back.) I wanted yellow and black (He was a bee farmer, I'm not kidding) but hey, the bees can't tell the difference!" Me: "Thanks!" (As I'm running outside.) Nice..... but just a little creepy.
Anyways..
TRUCKS
Kevin's always had really nice trucks.
(Girls, if your man has a truck, refrain from using words like "pretty", because apparently...... they don't like that. Weird, because I personally love that word!! You should approach with extreme admiration using words like "macho", "studly", and of course, "date me, now." You'll thank me later.)
He decided to buy a truck, or in his words, a "grocery getter". Not that he actually buys groceries.... but something to help him save some gas money during the week. Wow, responsible, right?? He shows up with this little stick shift.... contraption. It's so rusted that I decided I might need to get a new tetanus shot. Well, it's fine as long as it's just his back and forth truck, right?
Imagine my surprise when this truck became our date night transportation. Yep, nothing cooler than the ol' rust bucket.

It's probably the most hilarious truck you've ever seen, and guess what. He loves it. He reminds me of a high-schooler who just got their first truck. His enthusiasm (and sound effects) when he's driving make me laugh. The other night, he let me drive it. (It's a stick shift...)
I only stalled out 3 times!
(This was while trying to start it. It's not as easy as it looks in the movies!)

DATES
Our most recent date was a trip to go cosmic bowling. We met up with Steven & Stephanie (Kevin's brother & his bro's girlfriend) and Jason & Heather (Kev's cousin and his wife). It was super fun, even though I am a horrible bowler. I chuck the bowling ball, get it perfectly straight, and manage to knock down two pins. I did get some strikes the other night, which was very exciting! I like triple/double/group dating because it's a fun time and you can vent about your boyfriends/fiances/husbands/girlfriends/fiancees/wives and trade stories! Believe me, we always have a good time because the boys are always giving us new material!!
Bowling is fun, but it's awkward when you go bowling as a group for the first time and find out everyone else was in a league together. (Oh, did we forget to tell you that? Giggle giggle... Was that another gutter ball? Do you need the bumpers? Giggle.) Thanks, guys! Had a blast, because this time I was prepared, with my super sweet & extremely distracting dance moves. Take that, last place! (For the record, I was still in last place, but I was TIED for last place, so there.)
I'm enjoying this time with Kevin, because life is just too short to be annoyed at every little thing... so I'll update with some more funny pictures/stories soon!
From top to bottom, clockwise: Kevin & Lulu, Going Venue shopping, Kevin driving and being excited, and Kevin driving like a ghost! (Like in the movie Bridesmaids, "Hey, Who's driving that car?")
