15 Day Challenge [Day 9 & 10]

[Day 9] Describe the best day of your life to date 

& 

[Day 10] What's your most embarrassing moment

I decided today to do two days in one with this 15 Day Challenge. Partly because I'm super behind and partly because I don't have much to say for [Day 10] 

But moving on. 

The happiest day of my life is by far the day that J asked me to be his wife. I wrote in detail about our proposal here and I still sometimes can't believe how perfect that day was. I'm so happy that J's sister was sneaky enough to be able to video the whole thing without me catching on and I sometimes get teary eyed watching it even now. 

J and I have been on an amazing journey together, both moving in Southern California from Colorado, graduating at the same time, getting great jobs in our fields, owning our first home and I can't wait to be his wife. According to The Knot . com we have 168 days until our wedding which seems like a lot still but we're really getting there. We're closer to our wedding now than we are to our engagement and I am absolutely thrilled. 

As for my embarrassing moment... I'm not typically one who gets embarrassed about things or who is extra clumsy or accident prone or gullible so I don't have many moments to pick from. However, there was J, down on his knee with my amazing ring. I was crying, so in love and so happy and all I wanted to do was have him close to me. Well it turns out that I forgot about actually having to verbally say "yes!" because I was so wrapped up in the moment. We hugged and kissed to tears of joy from everyone in the room until I finally sat back down to admire my ring and someone said "is that a yes!?!" 

Oops, sorry babe. I figured it was obvious that I'd say yes but I should have been more clear!

15 Day Challenge [Day 3]

[Day 3] Tell about an article of clothing that you're deeply attached to

I wouldn't say that I am deeply attached to this piece of clothing in the sense that I would cry if I lost it and would never be able to replace it but.... it is something that holds a special place in my heart. 

This cream lace dress is definitely important to me. Yes, I like important rather than deeply attached. I bought it from Moriah @ Moriah Makes when she was having a sale on her blog of things she no longer wanted. I loved it as soon as I got it and knew I'd wear it often. 

Well as life would have it, I was wearing this dress on Christmas Day 2011 when J asked me to be his wife. This day will forever be one of the most significant days of my life and I'll always see this dress when I look back on the pictures and video of that day. (Yes I swear that's what I'm wearing even though it's hard to tell.)

Then I decided to wear it again for half of our engagement photos. I didn't want our outfits to be too bold and distract from the amazing site where we had the pictures taken and thought this was the perfect choice. So again, I'll always look back on these pictures (which I've also used in our Save The Dates and guest book) and see this dress. 

More than a deep attachment to this specific dress, I'd say I have a deep attachment to these few moments that forever changed my life when I happened to be wearing this dress.
