Private to Herself.
This is ridiculous. I keep thinking about when I thought I was pregnant. I was kind of disappointed that I wasn't. How stupid is that? Mom would have flipped out. She would have ranted up a storm and gloated about how she was right and how I'd thrown my life away by marrying David.

But I was disappointed. I blame Daddy and Ashleigh and everyone else having babies. I mean, who could help wanting one of their very own when Allen and Catrena are so perfect?

I really need to stop this, though. We're still in college. We're not remotely ready to be parents.

Private to David.
I was thinking about going by my Dad's later. Do you want to come with me? We can play with my adorable little brother.

Spring Break was amazing. We went to Hawaii, to the same beach where he proposed. It was just as gorgeous as I remembered. I really didn't want to come home. Unfortunately, classes are starting again tomorrow. Is it time for summer vacation, yet?

Completely Private.
I'm late.

NO NO NO this can NOT be happening.

It has to be a fluke. There's no way. We're SO careful. I can't be pregnant.

It has to be nothing.

I'm really glad the weekend is here. It's been a really long week.

Why is this class so boring? I mean, normally I like school, but this class? The professor talks in a complete monotone. No, I swear, it's like Professor Binns is teaching the class.

That reference makes me a dork, doesn't it?

At least it's almost over. Which is good. I am definitely ready to take a break and get something to eat!

It still feels a little surreal to know that I am married, but it's definitely not in a bad way. Some would probably say that we are still in the honeymoon stage, but I couldn't be happier sharing a home with David. I kind of like him a little. It's nice having him around. ;)

private to ashleigh.
I really hate that you had to go back home. I miss you so much! Promise to visit again soon? I hear babies grow fast and you definitely won't want to miss a second of Allan's infancy, right? I swear, he gets cuter every time I see him!

I can't believe it'll be Thanksgiving in a few short weeks. I really love this time of year!

I'm getting married in less than two weeks.

I'm nervous excited.

Private to Ashleigh
Tell me it's going to be fine and I shouldn't be freaking out and it doesn't hurt at all. Lie to me, really. I've heard too many horror stories and my mother is NO help because she still doesn't believe I'm not pregnant or something.

I can't wait. I love you.

It's July.

July.

I'm getting married next month.

Private to David.
I can't wait.

I'm glad school is finally out, at least. It's a lot easier to focus on planning a wedding when you're not also stressing over finals.

Planning a wedding is hard work! Actually, it hasn't been that bad. David and I went to New York a couple of weeks ago and I did some shopping with Ash. We found the perfect dress and some dresses for my bridesmaids that should work nicely, too.

David and I have settled on a location. We're getting married at this gorgeous place in Venice. Venice. I think I might need to pinch myself to make sure I am not dreaming, because I never thought I'd be getting married period in such a beautiful place. It's called The Santavenere and we are absolutely in love with it. I can hardly wait.

I can't believe it's May already, though! That means that in a little over 3 months, I will be Mrs. David Pitt. I thought it would be impossible to plan a wedding so quickly, but I'm actually amazed by how much we've gotten done. It's like I'm living in a fairy tale

[David]
Maybe we could take a break from seating charts and do something fun this weekend?

Hawaii was amazing! Going back to class after a week at the beach is difficult, though.

Also, for those who haven't heard, I'M ENGAGED! :D

Edit: No, Mother, I am not pregnant. No, I am not going to pee on a stick to prove it to you. :| I love my mom, but sometimes I want to hit her.

You would think after years of living here, I would be used to the winters. I mean, I am, but I am also beyond ready for a little warmth! It's 32 degrees outside right now! I can honestly call it freezing and not be exaggerating. Right now, I'm cuddled under my blankets, but it's still cold in my dorm room. The insulation at the UChicago dorms leaves a little to be desired. It's warmed when David is next to me

In other, sort of related news, David and I have decided we're going to go someplace warm for spring break. Someplace tropical and beachy, maybe Hawaii or some other island. I think we're pretty settled on Hawaii. There are other places, of course, but Hawaii is.. Hawaii! Doesn't it sound exciting?

My mother is, as usual, trying to put a damper on my excitement. She told me, once again, that I'm going to end up knocked up and tried to give me the safe sex talk. I tried to tell her that we're not even doing it and I doubt he even wants to, but that didn't stop her from trying to show me how to properly use a condom or asking once again if I've seen a doctor about birth control. Then she went on to say I should insist my boyfriend get tested, because he's a Pitt and the entire city knows how they get around.

And she wonders why I insisted on getting a dorm room instead of continuing to live in her home. Is it any wonder I am now too wired up with irritation to sleep?

Things with David have been getting more... intense. We've been.. I don't even know how to describe it. We've been making out and it's just.. it feels like.. and then he stops. I really don't know what to think. Does he not like it? Am I doing it wrong?

I know I should ask him, but I can't even seem to wrap my brain around it. I mean, it's not like we're not making out at all. I don't know.

And this morning. I fell asleep in his dorm last night. This morning, when we woke up, we kind of.. he kissed me and it was really, really nice and then all of a sudden he pulled away and said he was going to go shower. There's something wrong with me, isn't there?

And I was all.. warm and I felt like I couldn't breathe and now I feel all.. strange

So... Thanksgiving. Ash, you're coming home, right?

School starts in about two weeks and I could not be any more excited. Mom is driving me crazy! She keeps asking me fifty million questions about Venice and David and our plans. Plans! It's only my second year of college and she acts like we're meant to get marrie next week or something!

Also? I think she thinks we're having sex, because she's hinted several times that she wants me to start taking birth control and when I try to tell her that most certainly is not necessary, she gets this concerned look and asks if we're at least being safe. Yes, Mother, the last I checked it was considered perfectly safe to, you know, not be having sex.

Ugh. Seriously. Are all parents like this? I thought they were supposed to all think their babies were innocent and virginal forever! Not assume we're doing things that we most certainly are NOT doing!

I really need to get out of this house.

Venice was AMAZING! David and I had the best time. Everything was so beautiful and so perfect. The hotel we staying in was SO beautiful and I really just can't even describe how wonderful the experience was. I'm really glad Mom let me go!

It's kind of strange to be back in Chicago and to be sleeping apart from David. I really got used to sleeping next to him every night, but there's been so much to do since I've been home. There's just over a month to go before classes start back up, so I've been working some extra shifts here at the B&B and trying to save up a little money. I won't really have the time for it once I have classes to worry about again, after all.

[Private to close friends/Ashleigh]
Did I mention there was only one bed? It was a little awkward at first, but I have to admit it was nice. Nothing really happened, of course. I mean he was a perfect gentleman, but it was nice sleeping next to him. I'm definitely a fan.

What a day I've had. Mom and I did some shopping earlier and we were going to make dinner, but a can of cooking spray exploded all over our kitchen. I didn't even know cooking spray could do that!

It got all over everything, of course, and it took us hours to get everything clean, so we ended up just ordering a pizza and I am now exhausted and sore in places I wasn't really sure I had.

[Private to Ashleigh]
Do you think it's weird that David doesn't.. you know.. I mean guys are supposed to want to have sex, right? The kissing is great and all, but he doesn't act like he.. wants to do anything. Am I being totally crazy?
