My favorite restaurant?  A French cafe, of course!  I can't wait to go to Paris and eat crepes every day.  YUM!!

Day 9

I'm attempting to catch up a little bit.

Ladies, if you would like to spice up your man's scent with something uh-mazing, I highly recommend a little Calvin Klein magic.  Got some of this for my honey for Valentine's Day.  LOVE.  IT.

Let me Just Blow the Dust Off This Here Blog...

Blog FAIL.  I've been quite distracted lately, hence my lack of blogging.  Apologies, fellow bloggers.  The reason for my negligence?

I GOT ENGAGED!!  WOOOOOOT!!!

Therefore, I need to revisit Blog Challenge Day 7:  Your Dream Wedding

First of all... Ring pic!


Now on to the planning.  A date has been set:  June 25, 2011.  A venue has been chosen: Maggiano's Little Italy in Englewood, Colorado.  Colors have been picked: deep plum and ivory.  A dress has been almost acquired: think vintage lace :).  Decorations are under way.  It's all coming together so nicely!

My ultimate dream wedding?  Well.  That requires renting a castle in Ireland... which is a leetle out of my price range.  Just a wee leetle bit.

The next best thing?  Exactly what we're doing.  I am so stinkin' excited about it all!  I love the venue.  It has such a fun atmosphere - warm and inviting and vintage-y.  LOVE it.  And the food will be absolutely amazing.

I realize most people are not familiar with my lovely fiance.  His name is Erman (Air-mahn) Ercin (Urchin).  He is half Greek, half Turkish, raised in Turkey.  He came to the states about 7 years ago without knowing any English, but is now thriving in our good ol' American education system, working on his second degree.  He does quite a bit of translation work - both for the Air Force and for our church (he was just asked to start working on the D&C!).  He's quite the smarty pants.  And he's wonderfully sincere and kind and has so  much motivation.  I found me a keeper!!
