Long January

So people are getting back into the swing of things...and so are David and I. Work is definately picking up....for me with teaching and for David with learning. I had an interview last week...but yet again I didn't get the job. Frustrated? Yes.

Shannon and I are heading to the Bridal Showcase here on the 18th of Feb. Hopefully I'll get some great ideas on bridal party dresses and great prices as well as do some networking and stuff. I'm rather excited. One of my first big outings as a bride to be (next to trying on and buying the dress, of course). I'd love to have a bridal shower sometime soon to...or maybe even an engagement party. Any excuse to have people say, 'yeah, you're getting married...let us celebrate with you guys!'

David and I are going to make a list of venues and possibly do some registry stuff this weekend. I'll keep that info. up to date for those who are living vicariously (sp?) through this. (hee hee hee)

Guess that's all that's new and exciting for now.

Good-bye Christmas...hello break!

So Christmas break is over....and it's back to the old grind...and I don't think I could be happier! Odd you may say...and yes, I agree. It seems David and I didn't get a whole lot of time to sit and relax over the past few weeks. With visiting, shopping, planning, prepping, packing and celebrating, we had few days to sit and recover. We did get some wedding planning done...like going over the guest list and discussing catering options. This involved a few arguements and the creation of a new word (capooples). We also agreeded on the wedding colors ( and I hope I don't change my mind again) and perhaps a dress idea for the girls. David has been looking at tux ideas with the color scheme in mind and plotting Honeymoon destination ideas.

David did get to enjoy the traditions of my family (3 am wake up on Christmas morning, manacotti for dinner, scrabble and visiting my family). I got to meet lots of his family and play more Dutch Blitz and Cranium than you can shake a stick at.

We arrived home from Bridgewater yesterday. It was a long and eventful trip. David stayed the night at my place last night due to the weather. I brought him back to ABU today (after Thelma charged up).

I hope that helps all that current our blog for news and updates and keeps you all satisfied for now. Talk to you soon.
