For starters- I have the MOST amazing boyfriend, best friend, and business partner IN THE WORLD!!!
so here's a little clarification...
Today is Thursday (one of my favorite days of the week because I am finished with work and classes by 3:30 and have a few hours to myself before positioning myself in front of the computer to edit pictures or finish up some homework)
So I came home today, elated to be so close to the weekend with the plans to watch an episode of Gilmore Girls before getting back to work. I guess it's just habit that I walk into my office to check my e-mail and take a peek at Facebook as soon as I walk in the door. So what's the first thing that pops up on my news feed on facebook when it opens?- "Lauren Clark has uploaded new photos" Yesssss!! I thought to myself as I headed directly for her blog to drool over the perfect pictures that awaited me there. (I visit her blog probably twice a day...every day...even when she says she's gonna be out of town-why?-who knows?!-I'm addicted or something...) So there I was, minding my own business scrolling down swiftly to find the first post-everything seemed perfectly normal to me and I almost missed it-
there's the blog header...
the new partnership with the blalocks...
the love affair workshop reminder...
and now should be the new pic...
*pause*
scroll back up
blog header...
blalocks...
love affair workshop reminder...
and OH!- they picked a new scholarship winner!- Lucky girl!!
and it read...
..."Love affair scholarship winner- We have a winner it's Lubbock's very own Casey from Aric Alan Photography!"
I totally missed it the first time... Wow it's someone from Lubbock! That's cool!!...I'm jealous. and her name is Casey!!--Casey who? I want to meet this girl!...from Aric Alan Photography...
wait.
what?!
Lubbock-Casey-Aric Alan Photography...
*shakes head, adjusts glasses...*
Lubbock-Casey-Aric Alan Photography...

THAT'S MEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So now back to the reason that I'm the darn luckiest girl on the planet. Because I get to go to the Love Affair Workshop? Yes. But mostly because the man of my dreams spent an entire week, staying up until 3 a.m. most nights with a group of his best friends and roommates to enter a contest for me. So that he could make one of my wildest dreams come true...
I'm a little overwhelmed. Excited. Speechless.
So I'll go ahead and let the pictures do the talking...Look what Aric entered into the contest...
and go to the Love Affair Workshop Blog or Lauren's Blog to see the whole story!
a giant ring...
and a sweet letter...(that I haven't yet gotten to read!)
**Thank you Dillon, Aaron, and Lindsey for helping out too!! I feel so undeserving, and I am so very thankful for this incredible opportunity!!
***and I love you Aric! it's impossible to put words to these emotions so that will just have to do for now--plus, the blog readers probably don't want to hear any of the mushy things I would have to say! :)
...now back to viewing Lauren's new pictures...
