Here Goes Nothing...

Ty and I on the Zac Brown Cruise

I've been wanting to start a blog for sometime now, but I really didn't know where to start. Now that I'm engaged, I feel like now is the perfect time to begin. This has been such a fun experience so far and I figure that I might as well document it. The more I put in writing, the less I need to stress about it, and the less I will talk in my sleep about it (that's for a different post).

So, let's start from the beginning. I graduated from Kansas State a few years back and I'm a HUGE K-State sports fan (EMAW.) I absolutely loved college. I made some great, life-long friends and had more fun that I care to admit. Another perk was that I met my fiance, Tyler. We met my sophomore year and his freshman year (yes, I am 6 months older and he looks forward to half of the year when he can call me his cougar.) Ty and I became good friends and started dating at the start of my senior year. I finished in 4 years and Tyler took the victory lap which meant that he had two years in Manhappiness (also known as Manhattan) after I graduated. That led to a LOT of miles on my car and many fun nights where I could continue to act like a college student. In May he graduated and moved back to Kansas City. 3 years, 5 months and 10 days after our first date, Tyler proposed. I will save the details for another post as I was VERY impressed by his proposal. Now I plan to blog about life, wedding planning, house projects, and cooking, among other very compelling things. :) Also, the countdown is on - 234 days til I become Mrs. Shepherd!

Until next time...
