Ethan 💍
Got my wedding mani/pedi! The day is nearing so quickly. 😃 We're both beyond excited! 💃🕺
December 3, 2025 at 7:07 PM
London/Bath were fun, but I prefer the north. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ethan arrives tomorrow. 🥰 We haven't seen each other in person in 4 months. The wedding is less than two weeks away, & I'm really excited as well as pretty nervous. I hate being the center of attention. At least it's a small wedding. (15 people)

Headed to London today! 🇬🇧 When I get back, Ethan & I are getting married and I'm moving to Oklahoma. So many big changes right before the new year.

Tom Says hi from Cracker Barrel.

5 days 'til I fly to Oklahoma to spend two weeks with my honey. We're sick of the heat, so we're gonna road trip to Colorado for camping, hiking, and crisp, cool air.

Got addicted to a dress website. Now my cart has 5 dresses in it, and two are mid delivery. 😂

I keep finding myself sporadically crying. Ozzy died yesterday, and I didn't know him. I need to get a grip.
July 23, 2025 at 3:46 PM
G'night, Ozzy. 🖤

Just polished off a pot of coffee. It's a delicious appetite suppressant. 💃🦋 I have two different dresses that I've gotta rock like there's no tomorrow.

Check out the dress I'm wearing to dinner after the ceremony. I love it so freakin' much. 😍

I have said yes to the dress! It's absolutely gorgeous. 😍 I'm so excited!

Been watching Back to the Beginning all day. 🤘🏼 Sabbath is finally setting up. I'm anxious to see & hear Ozzy.

Slayer was killer, obviously. Tool did great as well, but that goes without saying.

I'm getting pretty nervous for the wedding. My family only has 5 people, including myself. 😂 Ethan's family is huge... but only the closest ones are invited. That's still a lot.

I'm working out a ton and barely eating. Yes, I'm getting skinnier, but jeez. The pressure to look 🤌🏼 is real.

Although Ethan's coming out in November and we're getting married in December, we didn't want to have to wait to see each other. I'm flying out for a couple weeks in August. 😂

In other news, I have a ticket to stream Ozzy's final show, and I'm really excited about it.

I've begun packing my stuff for the big relocation in December. 📦 Times like this, I'm really happy that I'm a minimalist.

I'm getting more and more excited about the wedding. I've been working out a lot and losing weight quicklyyy because I want to be skinnier. Better dress options & photos. 😂

I just texted my fiancé that I've done all this self care crap today, and said it's primping day.

Unfortunately, my spellcheck turned it into pimping day. 😂 Pimp Mama K at your service!

We have a wedding date and venue! 👰🏻‍♀️ 🤵🏻‍♂️ It'll be in December... which means that I'm moving to Oklahoma in December. I finally get to escape Phoenix!

Ethan asked me to marry him on May 24th at the top of a mountain during sunset. I answered, "Of course I will!" and then we hugged while crying together. It was magical.

...And to think; we met on Metal Twitter 6ish years ago, and now I'm gonna be Mrs. Walden. 🖤

Tomorrow is the day my boyfriend arrives. 😌 Meanwhile, I'm over here walking through mirrors like some kind of nerdy magician. 🪄
May 17, 2025 at 5:51 AM
15 days til Ethan gets here to spend 2 weeks with me. 🥰 Cannot wait!

The vertigo has begun to lift. Thank God. Who knew vertigo could be so debilitating?
April 28, 2025 at 3:18 PM
Been dealing with severe vertigo for 10 days now. The only time things aren't spinning like crazy is when I lay down. The doc gave me meds that are, evidently, not working.

I can't wait until all of this is a memory.

I basically use this site as a diary of events so that I have things to look back on because I'm overly sentimental.
April 13, 2025 at 7:17 PM
Been with my bf for 1 year & 1 month as of today. 🥰 He'll be here in 34 days to spend a couple weeks together. I really can't wait.
April 13, 2025 at 7:15 PM
Made it home safely, but sad.
March 27, 2025 at 9:13 PM
That was such a fun camping adventure. Unfortunately, I fly home tomorrow morning. 💔 I already miss my boyfriend and his dog SO much, and I'm still here with them.

This was one of the best months of my entire life, and I will never forget it. I can't wait to return sometime soon. Maybe for good.
