Fill in the Blank Friday: Back in action!

I have decided to join back in with the Fill in the blank Friday routine. Yes! Thanks Lauren for keeping this up!
1.   My plans this summer include : Sorting out our new life. Finding a place to live. How to make a living. And hopefully some pretty sweet memories. Lots of dancing with Will while times are tough :)


2.  The best summer I ever had was : The summer after 8th grade. Lots of trips to the hill country with friends to play in the river and eat junk food, summer movies with big groups, and chatter about cute boys and our "big" drama. It was simple then and I am proud to say I still have most of the best friends I was with that summer. 

3.  Summer is: Too hot in Texas but filled with excitement. Hot dogs, parks, rivers, beer, and watermelon. Pretty awesome?

4.  My favorite summer food is: Anything off of the grill! Kabobs and corn? Delish! And Guacamole. Yum.

5.  The best way to quench a summer thirst is with : a margarita with all fresh juices and a tall glass of ice water. 

6.  My summer uniform consists of: sundresses and workout clothes. 

7.  The best thing about summer is : you feel like you are ready for anything.Breezy evenings for long conversations with friends and love, opportunity, and adventure all feel possible and it is so awesome. 
   
This is what I am dreaming of doing every day this summer and probably beyond. Will and I are really into the slumber party lifestyle. How about you?

Could it be, a wedding post at last?

Things have been a bit crazy on the Swain - Stan front but I am pleased to announce we are working very hard to plant some roots in our new city of Austin and pleased to announce we will be getting married next October!

Here are the pretty amazing colors Will and I have chosen.

Was it hard for you to pick your wedding colors? I usually don't have a hard time helping a bride out with this but when it's for yourself, good golly it's hard! We are pretty excited. Pretty sure I am going to go ahead and bite the bullet and make a full wedding section here on le blog. Readers beware! Just kidding!
Stay tuned for photos of the ring.

I am one lucky lady. A lucky lady who is super in love. Eee!

Side-note: I counted the word PRETTY 3 times in this post. Yikes?
