Bee, Bee, Manatee!

I know every says this, but I can't believe I'm writing this! I really, really cant.
And I can prove why!

When I turned in my application about a month ago, I was usually talking Mr. Manatee's ears off about one of two things: the wedding, and getting into nursing school. More specifically,
1. Becoming a bee
2. Getting into nursing school at our current university, not somewhere in a galaxy far far away (like East Texas.)

Now I may have gotten a C in statistics, but when I saw on the website that only 5% of applicants got accepted as bees, I knew enough to know that 5% roughly translates to....

Wormhole Riders
So earlier this month, when I got accepted to nursing school at my University, which is rumored to have a 10% acceptance rate, I calculated (and I had to google the equation! Doh!) that my chances of getting in to nursing school AND getting a good email from Mrs. Pengy were....... .005%!   Good Lord! Case closed. Or so I thought!

Now that you know I'm a complete nerd, you understand my reaction when I got the news!  After stepping out of the shower and checking my mobile email on a whim, I ran to the front door in my towel to yell down the hall after Mr. Manatee, who had just stepped out. I probably scared him half to death! I'm betting my neighbors also think I'm a nutjob, for hanging my head out the door hollering "I'M A BEEEEEE".
 No lady, you are clearly not a bee, you're a soaking wet person.

Given these odds, I really should have bought a lottery ticket! Either that or I'll never win anything in my life ever, because I've used up all my impossible luck.

Anyway! We're the manatees, and we're madly in love.

At our favorite college bar :)
Mr. Manatee is finishing up his last few months as a Civil Engineering student, and I'm a newly minted Nursing student! We were born 2563 miles apart, and its crazy to think that 100 years ago we may never have met! We met in college on a forced blind date by his roommate, who insisted we were perfect for each other! We were living it up after recent breakups on both sides, and neither of us were crazy about the idea. We finally agreed to meet, and the rest was history!
We're the perfect balance! I'm a little silly and spontaneous, he can be very reserved and likes to think things through. I could get lost in a cardboard box and he can navigate his way out of anywhere. We've been through some definite ups and downs, but we always get through it together!



We've been together for over two years, and we've been engaged for a year already! We're ready to get this show on the road! We're planning a ombre/watercolor, fun and laid back celebration with around 100 of our favorite people. Its hard to put a finger on our 'theme', but we're going for fresh and fun with a variety of blues, grey and maybe even a raspberry pink! Although we're getting married at a B&B, you wont find any chalkboards or mason jars at our shindig! 

So why the manatee? Well...we spend a TON of time in and around water? Or cuz its stinkin cute, thats why! 



Cant wait to share our story with you, and get to know the hive better!
