Woahhh it’s been awhile since I posted..almost 4 months to the day! As you can imagine, Tyler and I have been keeping pretty busy with wedding plans and life in general. From bridal expos to Christmas, ski trips, Gatsby parties, engagement photos, work, venue visits, DRESS SHOPPING, and lots more in between, I feel like we’re barely coming up for air. Hence, the 4 month delay in my posts. Annnndddd we just celebrated our 7 year anniversary. Jeez a lou how time flies!
I can’t think of another word, other than CRAZY, that we are getting married this year. Ok, maybe I can. Thrilled, excited, anxious (in a good way)…But I mean “crazy” in the sense that after all the years, it’s finally happening. We’re one of those few couples that make it through high school, through the first few months of college, through all the growing pains, through college graduation, through quarter(ish) life crises, and end up making their way to the altar.
Here we are though! Making plans and such…crazy I tell ya.
Let’s play catch up :)
I went to the Central Coast Bride Dridal Expo in October and ran into an old co-worker. She's getting married this year too- on my birthday actually! The expo had so many vendors that it was slightly overwhelming. I think the numbers of vendors, plus being newly engaged left me a little lost amongst all the brochures. But it was a good place to start!
Christmas was here before we knew it, and although we planned on forgoing the Christmas decorations, Tyler knew me better than that. The result was the cutest most amazing Christmas tree! I was so excited about the fluffy ornaments :)
I've also been keeping crazy busy selling bridesmaid boxes on Etsy. My thought was, I looked all over the internet trying to find the right box/kit to give my bridesmaids, there has to be others out there looking for the same thing. Sure enough, orders came flooding in. At times I had 3 orders of 6 boxes each to complete in 3 days! Phew! But it's kept me busy while Tyler was wrapped up in basketball season. Go Lakers!
This little one is going to steal my fiancé if I'm not careful!! We went to support her at her holiday Christmas program and who's arms did she jump into immediately?? I'll give you one guess...
One of our favorite things about winter is our annual trip to Tahoe. The snow was scarce but the views never get old. We made it onto the slopes one day, did some hiking, made out of this world pizza with the Stern Family, and got some puppy time.
We got a little spontaneous on our way back from Tahoe and decided to spend New Year's Eve with Tyler's freshman year roommate and his girlfriend. Trevor and Quynhly are just the sweetest. This wasn't some little New Year's Eve celebration either. We went to an awesome Gatsby themed party along the Embarcadero where all drinks were included with the ticket price. Sound dangerous? It was. Turns our a lot of out college friends got the memo about the party, so it was quite the reunion.
2013 was a great year. Tyler graduated college. We both started our careers. He put a ring on it. And topped it off with an awesome party in the city
But I have to say, sorry 2013, I have a feeling 2014 will out do you ;)
