The Countdown Continues

Though I should be talking about how I only have 4 months left before the wedding...I wanted to share this picture of the top of a take-out box! It reminded of me of my little space here in the blog world.

So for the real talk...wedding is 4 months away and I booked my flight home to MN on 3/1 just today. I am not feeling too much pressure with the move since the way out here went pretty well, except the bed issue (see previous post). And because we will be shacking up with my big sis we won't need to immediately unpack our entire lives. That sounds like a win to me!

I have sent our invite wording to our printer and I am very excited to see the proof. I found Pistachio Press on Etsy if I remember correctly! I contacted them first with the idea of taking one of their invites and making a Save the Date to accompany the existing design. They did a great job and we received lots of positive feedback from our guests. Post wedding I will share some pictures as the stationary has been one of my favorite parts.

Other highlights...well...we have a lot of things "sorta" planned and I am not sure how I feel about that. So I will dedicate March to getting my to-do/DIY list under control as I have found some neat ideas that I want to replicate. Because I feel a little disconnected from the wedding right now I hope it will feel more real after a few craft sessions.

Well, that is all for now! Have a nice day!

Where did January go?

Well, here we are at the end of the month that came fast! I am certainly excited for some upcoming events and enjoying our final month in California.

We had started this little adventure with hopes of learning and growing together. We have definitely done that and more including getting ENGAGED!!! The economy was the downfall and was not favorable for MDK's job prospects. But, with my position it means we can live wherever it works. And of course we know MN works for us and our fam/friends!!

Before we return we were sure to pack our schedule- trip to Huntington Beach this weekend, my mom and big sis visit next week, and a capstone visit from EEH upon his return from studying in Asia.

My next work adventure will take me to Ohio and I am looking forward to a change. I am hoping to do a wedding update soon since that is coming quick and I want to talk about it!!!

Until then goodbye January and have a nice day!

Oh no....5 to GO!

I started my day like any other Monday...crabby. Then the emails started flowing in about my 5 months to go check list....ouch! Once in a while the wedding seems very far away and then those lists just make me realize all the elements that still need to happen for it to all fall into place.

One night last week when I couldn't sleep, I was obsessing in a dreamy state about how it will look and feel that day. I am going to try to avoid letting my mind go there again...because it means no sleep!! Oh and tomorrow I have to drop off my engagement ring so the jeweler can construct the wedding band to fit. The kicker is they might have to keep it for up to 6 weeks....total sadness for sure.

I will miss my favorite new accessory!

Have a nice day!
