So many changes have happened in the last few months:

1. I dyed my hair! 

My lovely blond locks are now a dark auburn brown color and I love it. Emma Stone is my hair idol and if she can go from blond to auburn, then so can I.

2. It’s finally warm enough to be outside and not want to cry! 

I am LOVING this weather. Highs in the mid-70s is my ideal temperature. [cue “Sunny with a High of 75” by RelientK] Cool enough in the evenings for me to open my window; warm enough during the day for me to go without a cardigan. Keep it coming, Spring. I love you. 

3. I GOT ENGAGED! 

That’s right. I am now betrothed, affianced, intended to be married! I never expected this next step in my relationship to feel so natural, but it does. It feels perfectly normal to have a ring on the fourth finger of my left hand. It all feels natural, yet at the same time I feel like I’m living in a dream. Am I really engaged? Am I really planning a wedding (for real this time! not just an imaginary, hypothetical wedding)?! Am I really going to spend the rest of my life with this guy?? YES! I AM! AHHHHH!!!!

4. I bought my wedding dress!

FOR $145!!!!!! WHAT UP?! I am awesome, that’s what. Thanks to Pinterest, Buzzfeed, and DressilyMe I found my dream dress for less than $200. It arrived yesterday in a box, I tried it on, and it fit like a glove (as it should, since I gave them my measurements). So happy!

Keep your eyes peeled for some wedding planning posts and some super fun summer stuff! Keep being awesome, people!
