I am sitting at my desk writing you all for the last time as a single girl. *whew* it was a tough life.....and in honor of my last entry as a single girl, I'd like to repost the entry I wrote the day after my first date with Tim...back in May of 2003.

2003-05-19 11:14:00 Duck, duck, chicken.... I'd never eaten duck until last night. It was mighty tasty, not at all like I expected. But then again, it may have been the company and not the duck that was tasty. I had one of the best dates ever last night. Like i said before , no blow by blows, but suffice it to say, I woke up this morning and I couldn't stop smiling. It's exciting to connect with someone and feel like they like you just as much as you like them. And I didn't even mind about the parking ticket. ;)_______________________________
Tim is a wonderful guy, and well worth the wait. I sometimes can't believe I ended up with such a wonderful person after all is said and done. *sigh* It really is lucky... Hey, did I mention that our wedding night is a full moon? Well, I was at a work BBQ and somebody brought fortune cookies and this was my fortune...

I'm taking it as this means it won't rain on my wedding day. :P Anyhoo, I also had a visit from my dear, dear friend Sarah last night. She happened to be in Denver for one day and so her and her husband came over for dinner. It was fun and very carthartic in a way. I've been so stressed about the wedding that I almost forgot how happy I am, and I've never as happy as when I get to talk about how much I love Tim and how I can't wait to marry him.
I do think on some level, I will miss being single...the rush, the flirtation...but there is something so comforting about having someone on your side. It's not just you against the world anymore, you have someone pulling for you and helping you along the way. I guess seeing Sarah reminded me of all the partying we used to do, but also of the confusion and loneliness I used to feel all the time. God, I'm so glad that phase of my life is over.... *whew* :)
So, farewell to all the boys, this ship has sailed on to bigger and better things... and to all my single girlfriends out there...It's true that love finds you when you least expect it, but I always expected it and I thought it would never come... But it did... :) ~e

when i push you around the bedroomand you decimate my lampyour red lips purse in sorrow but your soft voice and prickly kisses make me feel like i can love you forever even if you breakI want to hold you close to meas we trip through fields of goldand quote the simpsonsmaybe we can take the time to loveforever and maybe even longer.
The wedding is almost upon us. The small things are starting to work themselves out...We've got everything we need for the ceremony, including an officiant. :o) Anyway, the R.S.V.P.'s are rolling in and relatives that I thought would not be able to make it are coming (shout out to Uncle Bill and Karen & Bud). I can't wait, I just want it to come sooner....

I really feel with the dawn of a new design that Villanovababy has been given a new lease on life. Stay tuned for lots more changes. I am going to be implementing a new blogging style starting July. It will allow for comments by readers and it will be easier for me to update, so there should be lots more entries.
I'm sorry things have been so slow, but in the summer time, real life takes on a hectic pace and unfortunately things like this fall by the wayside. The wedding is in 18 days, so preparations are taking up a lot of time. On the up side, there will be tons of new pictures. If you are one of the lucky few who received an invite, please remember to R.S.V.P. by the 18th of June.
And in other news, I did not get the job in England I was hoping for. But, it has turned out to be a blessing. Tim and I are looking forward to taking an extended honeymoon in Oregon this summer and we'll have time to enjoy our new house and our wonderful friends here in Denver.
stay tuned,

THIS PAGE IS STILL BEING BUILT OUT! Just hang on, it's gonna be good......
I'd like to dedicate my first entry in the new weblog to my friend Daniel. Here's the moment you have been waiting for. Don't smother it, just breathe it in and dance slowly with it on the porch while listening to Loretta Lynn...
And in other news...Wedding prep is going pretty well. The entire wedding industry is trying to stick it to me, but I'm soldiering through. Tim and I have got our website up and running, so everyone can check out all our wedding plans and the updated information on the possible move...
