Oh heeyy

My life... in a goddamn nutshell.

Chelsey Gwyne Hicks.
Named after my nana, Gwyne.
Named after her mother Gwyndolyn.

Born on June 2nd, 1989 in Chico, CA. Yes, that makes me 23 years young.

I grew up in a small town called Corning in Northern, CA. It has about 8,000 people I believe.
I played sports, was involved in school, went to the rallies & football games and all of that jazz.

After high school I moved to Chico, CA and I've lived here for the last five years- working and going to school off and on.  In 2009, I became certified in Human Services through Butte College and I continued to take child development classes in order to become a preschool teacher- which I did in 2010.

In September of 2008 a friend introduced me to Scott Whittingham, the amazing man that I am going to marry.  We started dating in September of 2009, and will tie the knot in less than a year on September 14th, 2013. I'm sure you'll be hearing a LOT about our planning, especially as it gets closer.

This last year has been a crazy one. I spent the first half of it sick, and visiting doctors getting tests and procedures done to figure out why. During this, I ended up going on unemployment for a while, as I was too sick to work. When I started getting better, I got hired at a local gym as a front desk receptionist and in the child care center.  About a month later, Scott asked me to marry him. (Story to come). A month or two after that, I injured myself and had to get surgery on my right thumb. And then, a couple months ago I got a second job at a restaurant as a bar back, and have since began bartending.

I'm a total wino, foodie, movie buff and celebrity gossip junkie.  I enjoy going on bike rides, flowers, doing crafts around the house, cooking, and spending time with my fiance and our fur-children (our two dogs, Ajax and Pheobe).

Welcome to this blog where I will rant about my life of wedding planning, taking care of babies by day and pouring drinks by night.
