One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
Things have been busy in the soon-to-be Miller household. We've been spending almost every single evening doing either something wedding related, or just out and about.
We've started dance lessons with Arthur Murray. I'm still very torn about the whole thing, but the money's been paid, so I hope it turns out to be a fun time. We're taking 7 private lessons and another 14 group type lessons. I can only hope that this really is the investment in our future that we think it is. It's just such a funny system, but I can definitely say that if anyone wants to be making some money and doesn't mind working evenings, dance lessons are definitely a racket.
I'm still working on our Ketubah with a vengeance. I'm trying hard to find one that really reflects us both, and is written on Klaf parchment. (actual animal skin). This seems really important to Matthew, so I'm trying to make it work.
We've run into some difficulties with things being slightly confusing. Lots of times where I swear that we agreed that he would do something by a certain time, but then it hasn't gotten done. It's not about the things most of the time, it's about the fact that it just seems so irrelevant to him to do them on the timeline we've agreed to. Does that make sense? It frustrates me so much because then I don't think I can believe him when he says he will do something- then he gets mad at me for not trusting him, and we go round and round with the same issues.
All the while this stuff is going on I'm enjoying life more and more. I think we've really started to hit into a nice pattern of being in love, being there for each other, and generally enjoying each others company. I'm a little miffed about how all of these things keep happening, but I certainly think that I like it.
Matt's still looking for work, so if anyone is in the Consumer products industry, let me know...
We're at about 80 days... wow...

Busy wedding, busy work= busy Izzy
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
Yes, I know, I rejected the 'busy Izzy' for many years in school, but right now... it's the truth.
The wedding is less than 4 months away. Yes, you read that right- it's the first weekend in June, so it's about 4 months out, which I totally can't believe. There are so many little details that I'm trying to plan out. If you're in the area and haven't already started to collect glass jars for me (jelly, pasta, etc), then now is the time to start! Every weekend is filled with some sort of wedding related item, from trying on shoes with the dress (FUN!) to hammering out the guest list details (not so fun)...
I'm also starting to train for a triathlon right now. I know, I'm crazy. Unfortunately the mud-run that I do every year in October has decided to move to June, and that means I won't be able to participate. It's about a week after the wedding when I plan to be lounging around Costa Rica. So my sister suggested that I take up tri's, and I've started to train. I bought a swim cap and goggles and am on day three.
Work is getting really busy- with two events this month, and our really large events coming up in April and May. My biggest event of the season is about two weeks before the wedding- that should be fun. I'm trying to get PO's done, and I'm still at that learning phase where everything is difficult and I have to ask a lot of questions to get things done...
Okay- enough about me... how are you? who's out there? anyone at all?

Over a month- Again
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
I can't believe it's been a month. And it's been a tumultuous one at that....
I'm not exactly sure what to say, except that things don't feel right. I don't want anyone getting unnecessarily worried about me, but I can say with certainty that I don't feel right.
I went to the doctor yesterday, and she tried to help me sort through some things. In the end, we determined that I'm not pregnant, I'm not depressed, but I am going through some emotional stuff.
Everyone I talk to wants to blame it all on the upcoming wedding. If it's not the wedding, then it's probably the changing of jobs... maybe the reason is the moving...
I'm just not sure. If you ask me to tell you how I feel about changing jobs, I would honestly tell you that leaving the old one sucks, but so far I'm learning a lot and am excited about the new one. If you asked me if I was blissfully happy, then clearly the answer would be no.. .however, I'm working, and trying to stay busy...
As for the wedding, if I look at it honestly from an event perspective, things are running smoothly. My parents have finally butted out, and there are answers to the biggest questions. I have food and drink, a Rabbi and flowers... I have a pretty dress to get married in...and of course, I still have the man who loves me and wants me.
So- if I mentally think that all of these things are doing fine, why do I cry about 3 times a week?
This, my friends, is the question.
I don't like to admit it, but I think that I am actually really nervous about getting married. I'm not nervous about my love, I'm not nervous about having chosen the most wonderful person I could ever be with... but I'm nervous non-the-less.
I'm not nervous about the logistics, I know that will all work out- in fact I'm still getting compliments about the things I've done and planned so far...
But then, what am I nervous about. I keep wondering about the work, the effort. About how changing me into we, but still keeping the I.
Did that make any sense?
Ramble, ramble, ramble... then cry.

I bought a DRESS!
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
That's right folks... it seems like this wedding thing might actually happen. I bought a dress while up in San Jose with my sister. It's gorgeous, and I feel so happy that I found it, and that I love it.
I think I'm going to have a cute little jacket made for me, to give me a 'different look' at the wedding (which is totally in nowadays!).
Other than that I've designed the program, I've finalized the guest list, I've written a 14 page logistics information sheet.
However, no caterer, no photographer, and no florist. Don't even ask me about the DJ or band, because that hasn't happened yet either.
UCLA is still a lot of fun, and I've started to do interviews for perspective CMUers. The holiday party season is definitely starting to get moving, so I'm really excited about that too!
I'm going to try to get back into a format of some sort while here at UCLA. I guess we'll see if that works!

The planning has started
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
On Wednesday Matt came down for his usual weekday night with me. We've been doing the Wednesday night thing for about 3 years now, it's sort of our thing. This week he was able to come down before dinner, so we went out to Sonny's in San Clemente. While we were there we took a walk on the pier and really just enjoyed the night. On a whim, we headed over to the Casa to see if we could just swing by.
Luck was in our favor, since the Casa was open that night for an open to the public poetry reading. We wandered about and discussed possible options for our wedding. I didn't remember the place being so small, but we had LOTS of great ideas as to how to make it possible.
Then we headed back home and stopped by Matt's parent's house to pick up some avocados. We sat with them and just chatted about the wedding. I can't tell you how nice it was to just sit in the living room and just start discussing things casually. His mother asked me and Matt what we were thinking about the wedding, really allowing us to have our ideas out on the table.
There are still LOTS of questions with the Casa, and Mom and Dad want Matt and I to go and look at a few other places, but we've chatted about our first possible date! YEAH!
I can't believe that it's August, and that by this time next year I will have been married for a few months.

ENGAGED!
One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me
Hi EVERYONE!
There might still be a few people out there who haven't heard, but I'M ENGAGED! Matthew proposed in the middle of the Kern River while we were tubing down the river on Sunday afternoon.
Yup, in the middle of the river. Matthew had put the ring on his pinkie finger and wore it while we floated down the river. I can't tell you how incredible the view was, and how amazing and shocked I was. I didn't even think that he had purchased it!
This photo was taken about 3 minutes after the proposal, but our lovely friend Chris Ash who was the instigator of the river floating trip.
So, we're planning a wedding. Stay tuned for future updates!
