Merry Christmas

I can't believe we are actually getting a white Christmas. The last time I saw this is when I was in Minnesota about ten years ago. It truly is beautiful and I hope there is more during the night into tomorrow. We had a wonderful Christmas with our family. Here are a few pictures:

Amber opening her gifts from us this morning. She was so excited to get some Aeropostle clothes.

Just a little smooch from my honey in the kitchen. He was such a wonderful helper while I was busy cooking and cleaning for our company that came in on Christmas Eve.

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday! xxx

Weekend fun

We have had a busy but fun weekend so far...
Friday we went to the mall with Amber and some of her friends. We actually had a great time looking at all the stores and I even scored a few deals at the Lane Bryant store. We went to Kohl's to get a wedding gift for some friends of ours that got married yesterday. Their wedding was so beautiful and so much fun. Their little wedding cake had sock monkey's on them:

Their motto is that "Monkey's make everything fun". I loved it. As the bride was saying her vows I got choked up too the emotion in her voice and quivering you could definitely feel how much she loved this man.It was so heart touching to see this.

It was a wonderful day of fun with friends. I love these two ladies so much. Jessica is my best bud and Mitzi is my friend I walk with whom I tell all my secrets to we have much needed "therapy" sessions during our lunch walk. We work together also. And now today is back to the grind yes I work on the weekends with my part time job and I need to finish my ethics memo for school. But it was nice to break up the routine of my usual weekends and have a little fun.

Fun at Tybee Island

Time to start planning

I have been a nervous wreck these past few months with so much going on in my life. My Mom's health hasn't been very good but she is starting to become stable again and I am so blessed she is still in my life. Also I just recently graduated from college with my A.S. in Health Information Technology. I plan on pursuing my bachelors in Health Information Administration after this semester. I needed a little time off. But the big thing I am starting to plan for is mine and Jeff's wedding. I don't even know where to begin! We are saving up money for expenses and a small honeymoon over a weekend but we haven't "set" a date yet. This is mainly because of financial reasons but we are thinking later in this year or early next year. I want to do something simple and very budget friendly. And I of course will be putting my creative hat on soon to think of decorations, color scheme, etc. More than likely it will be an outdoor wedding with a handful of close friends and family. I am very excited about starting this journey and will post some inspiration pictures on my blog. I miss blogging. Facebook is great but just sitting down and writing about my day or what I am feeling is something I miss. If anyone has any budget ideas for weddings please send them my way.
