Reading, sleeping, reading

okay, i didn't actually get anything done this week except reading the Divergent series by Veronica Roth. It was ridiculously addicting and if any of the people who read this loved Hunger Games then you really really need to read this series. Thats all I wanted to tell you so I going to go back to reading :)

Update

alright, so it is official I am going to be really bad at keeping this up to date.

So after about a million visits to various places to hold wedding and receptions I have it narrowed down to two. The Tea Event Center in Tea, SD (we would get married at Tut Hill or the Tea Park) or Fox ridge golf course in Dike, IA. Okay so aside from the names (yeah could I pick two towns that have more ridiculous names, I really dont think so) I really like them both. So Im at a loss as what to do. Any advice cyber world?

Getting Married!!!!!!!

Hey all, I am happy to announce that Im getting married. Im hoping to use this blog for everyone to keep track of the wedding plans, since pretty much everyone in the wedding will be long distance.

So things have been stewing here. I and my love have been very indecisive (no really, i know many of you cant believe me, indecisive...never). We cant figure out where we are getting married. my home town or where we actually live now. But I am happy to announce that I did make a decision on one aspect of the wedding. We will be married by a justice of the peace not a catholic priest.  future Hubby is atheist, and I am for all  purposes a non-practicing catholic.  Since I am non practicing, no priest wants to marry us unless I get off my lazy butt and get practicing. I kept flip flopping on this because I really want to get married Catholic, I always thought I would, but our future will not center around faith (he doesn't have any) instead it will center on us, our family. We will make decisions that we both can live with balancing both our views. Our kids will learn about God from me, not from a priest or a sister. Not because i think i know more but because Hubby is more comfortable with that. So, that is how Ive come to the decision. I think it is the best decision for both of us. I am going to meet with a priest soon to find out how to get the marriage validated in the catholic church (i think we just have to go to classes and have a small ceremony with the priest) So thats that. Now all i need to decide is what state to get married in :)

Fun happenings in Iowa

okay so one of the nerdy things that Aaron and I have started doing this winter is reading books to each other. Now before everyone starts making fun of us for being nerdy, in our defense we live in Iowa, its winter, its a winter with no snow, and we dont like exercise. the snow and lack of exercise kinda rules out most other activities, we are left with video games, movies, and reading. Which to be honest I think we are both completely fine with at least i am, but the point is, we dont have tons of options when it comes to entertainment. I convinced him we should start reading together. We started with Grimm Fairy tales and HP Lovecraft short stories. Which were good, and there are a lot of them so it will probably take years for us to get through them all. As the Hunger Games movie quickly approaches (released on my birthday everyone so get excited), I decided he needed to read the Hunger Games before we go to the movie. SO i started reading it to him. We are now at the Victors (or the third and final portion of the book) and I must tell you it is soooooo much fun to watch someone get as excited and addicted to a story line as I am. He now travels with it so we can read it at both apartments. Its awesome. .......wait i just realized I was doing dishes......now Im blogging, and there is still hot water in my sink and dishes on the counter....I better go. Ive gotten a little distracted. Carry on everyone :)

A book and an explaination

So first off, my explanation. I took the name for my blog from some of Aaron's (my boyfriend) friends. I guess when we first started dating, they used to give him a hard time about my name and him being largely unavailable to hang out because he was with me. Trapped in a net, tangled in a net, caught in a net and so forth. Its pretty much the same punch line for all of these jokes but I think its funny because I dont recall anyone being so fond of using my name in this way, let alone 4 or 5 guys all making the same joke at roughly the same time, so anyways. that is how i got the name of my blog.

My book recommendation is the Janet Evanovich Stephanie Plum novels. I know I am late to this party but they have taken over my reading time. And in my defense I am late to the party because I think when they were first published i was reading Harry Potter books for the first time and I was most definitely at an appropriate age to be reading this particular type of adult fiction. Anyways I love them, and if you haven't tried them they are definitely worth a try. They are nice light easy reads that are exactly what people may need during Tax and budget approval time :)
Cheers.
