I always seem to stumble when I am asked to tell someone about myself. To me, it feels like being handed a basket full of puzzle pieces and being asked to describe the finished puzzle. I am a 34-year old woman, but I feel like a little girl dressed up in my mom's high heels most of the time. I recently graduated from law school, where I met my fiancé, and I am licensed to practice law, but I am currently unemployed. Lucky for me, the fiancé is gainfully employed, which has given me the opportunity to take some time to figure out what I want to do with my life. (I haven't figured that out yet, but I'm getting close.) During law school, both my fiancé and I gained a bunch of weight and we have pretty much been on some sort of diet for the past two years with no success. Enter the glory of getting engaged. If you ever want to lose weight, get engaged. Nothing has given me the strength to follow a diet (currently Atkins) like the prospect of being chubby in my wedding dress. Alas, besides the weight/dress part, I have been pretty much paralyzed when it comes to making any decisions about the wedding. I have been told that I have a lot of "random requests" for the wedding, including cobblestone streets, cool, cloudy, grey weather, autumn leaves, and lanterns, but I think all those things are just pieces of the wedding puzzle that I'm collecting. I'm hopeful that I'll be able to put that puzzle together before I turn forty and barren. That's about all I've got for now. Hopefully, I'll be able to get some of these puzzles put together in the near future. I've always sucked at puzzles.
