countdowns.

since taylor and i started dating my life has turned into a compilation of countdowns... how many days until he leaves? how many days until he comes home? how many days until (insert really fun thing we get to do together here)?

right now i have a few countdowns going...
taylor comes home: 2 weeks, 1 day
redsox vs. orioles game: 2 weeks, 5 days
engagement photos: 6 weeks, 2 days
1 year anniversary/engagement party: 9 weeks, 1 day
move to california: 9 weeks, 6 days
fly back to virginia for sarah's wedding: 14 weeks, 6 days

i'm getting really good at keeping myself busy while he's away. he's gone for a month this time and i can't say that it's "flying by" but its certainly not dragging on like the 3 weeks he was gone in december did. i've been to my cousin's wedding, worked a shit-ton and took my favorite rugrats to king's dominion... this weekend i'm going tubing with girlfriends, next week i'm sailing on a 52 foot catamaran yacht with my best girlfriend (who i haven't seen since february!!!) and then trying on a bunch of wedding dresses i can't afford at a swanky, upscale bridal salon outside of dc :) while, poor taylor is stuck in a lonely hotel room cooking pizza in a saucepan on the stovetop becuase he bought a frozen one and forgot he has no oven... oh, to be a fly on the wall in that place...

not shaving my pits for weeks is gratifying but i miss my future hubs none the less. i'll leave with you with some pictures...

engagement party location: the marsh mansion.

i love the front lawn.

the tots. exhausted <3.
