5 things I love about Kevin

1. He is super aware of people around him so is always looking for ways to make people happy.

2. He has the most beautiful eyes this world has ever seen. Truly. I love the color and his eye lashes are to die for. (I hope he passes his eyelash gene down to our kids.)

3. He'll spontaneously go limp like a wet noodle so I have to catch him and hold him up. It makes me laugh every time.

4. He cries a lot. Every cute movie makes him cry.

5. He hates 3D movies.

puff

This isn't a post about smoking or a magic dragon. It's about my puff. It's been my puff for a little over two years now. "Puff" is just a cuter way of saying muscular hernia.

Once, I got in a big sledding accident. Yes, sledding. It's more dangerous than people realize. I broke my tibia and fibula (this is just a side note-- but I get really bugged when people say fibia.) Both breaks were compound, which means they sliced through my skin and were sticking out. Gross I know.

Because of that, in a little area on my leg, the bottom layer of skin that holds everything in tight is gone. So... my muscle pushes forward and sort of bulges out. That is my puff.

It's annoying.

It's ugly.

It is painful.

It looks like an alien is going to pop out of my shin at any second.

It freaks people out.

It is tricky to shave over.

BUT

..it has one really good perk, which inspired this post.

It holds up my boot perfectly!

I have this pair of grey boots that are quite handy in the winter months. They are comfy and they are warm. They go a little passed mid-calf. They have cute buckles on the back that I love. The only problem is.. they fall down sometimes. Well only the left one does because my puff doesn't let the right one slip.

I do NOT want another puff on my left leg. But I am trying to think off how to get a puff equivelant for my boot. Any ideas that don't involve my bones??

3% in 25% = 97% in 75%

I am a very date oriented person. I like to count days and point out "marks."

For example--

-I like to celebrate my half birthday and other peoples half birthdays.

-I love to point out the month marks of how long Kev and I have been dating.

-I even remember my fourth grade teacher's birthday for Pete's sake.

-For no reason, I know that the day Kelso and I had our epic rain fest was June 11.

-I just don't forget birthdays or anniversaries of people who are important to me because the date sticks out to me!

Those are just a few examples of weird random dates that I notice. Unfortunately, this skill never kicked in when I took AP US history. But anyway... "Why is she telling us this?" you may be asking yourself. Well because in five days.. [I was going to blog this in five days, but I'm too bored today so I'm doing it now instead] ..marks January 11th. Which in and of itself is not an important day BUT it is the day my engagement is 1/4 of the way over.

25% of the time period that people say goes so slow. Yes, there are days it feels like a century. But overall this has been the fastest month and a half! And I say this because I probably have about 3% of my wedding planned and I just don't know where the time has gone....

Truly, I have hardly ANYTHING done. I gather ideas on Pinterest and stuff but I haven't actually done anything about it. It's crazy because I have been 'planning my wedding' since I was seven. But now that it is actually here, I have no idea where to start! I'm overwhelmed and I feel inadequate to plan something this big.

It's not that I don't have motivation.. hello, I'm marrying the love of my life. I just truly do not know how best to go about everything. I thought by having a long engagement I wouldn't be nearly as stressed in planning. But it actually just made me way too cavalier at the beginning because I had so much time. And now I am stressed.

So.. smart, efficient, grown up people-- help me know what to do..
