Happy New Year

along with welcoming in a new year, we have also welcomed some seriously cold weather - and i am not a fan. don't get me wrong, i enjoy experiencing a little of all four seasons, but when wind chills are hitting below zero it pushes the limits. luckily, i whipped up some yummy soup on sunday [recipe is from gimme some oven - and i love how she makes it healthy/skinny]  i suggest you try it! i followed her recipe exactly and it was perfect.

the past week and a half i have been in major wedding guest list mode. between getting everyone's address and making sure i have their correct full names my stress level is rising daily. and to top it off tomorrow is five months until our big day and save the dates are not labeled or mailed! [ekk] some good news on the wedding - i picked up my gown two weeks ago and i have FINALLY decided on bridesmaid dresses!!!

on top of save the date stress - i start student teaching in two weeks. i am so beyond ecstatic to finally start the last semester of my undergrad! and this has motivated me to get some of those little wedding details taken care of early!

some diy-ing coming up this weekend. i will be sure to post about it on the blog once i get it complete. the only hint - i have finally gotten a bookcase for our den!
