46. Sugar Bullets

chris and i have been venturing away from our normal routine of sitting on the couch watching the history channel or playing cribbage and have actually left the house in pursuit of fun activities. these have included (but have not been blogged about yet due to lack of being able to upload pictures into our dying computer) - the state fair, the science museum 'star wars' exhibit and a stuart davis show.


don't know stuart davis? if not, you should. when chris and i first started dating he told me that davis was one of his favorite musicians and that if we were going to last i'd have to like him as well. (he didn't really say it in those words but it was strongly implied...) he played a few tracks for me and at first...well...i wasn't getting it. not wanting to jeopardize our new relationship though i said i really liked it! :)


a few months ago he bought davis's newest cd and it turns out i loved it! the guy is hysterical! so - we found out he'd be playing at bryant lake bowl this weekend and went to see him. it was a short show (chris said he usually played a lot longer normally) but i loved it anyway. it was great to actually see him after hearing so much about him for almost two years now.


so - i highly recommend that you check him out. great stuff.




p.s. now i only need to see jack white perform at a venue that intimate and i would die happy :)

45. TGIF

it's friday - it's a long weekend - i'm excited! :)

27.Golden

we joined a gym!


after checking out a few establishments we decided on Gold's Gym. i was really impressed with their staff, the equipment, the class options (super excited to do yoga and pilates) - they also have a private section for woman only! that was a huge plus for me - it's just more comfortable for me. it's right off the woman's locker room and the equipment is really nice! the locker rooms were also a bonus - no mass row of showers - very private. chris was impressed with the pool - he's missed it since we moved from our last place that had one.


so yeah - we are going to get rid of that "happy/nesting" fat that we accumulated after we started dating!


and now we're going to enjoy a relaxing evening at home (chris is on squad). make some dinner. watch Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, research our honeymoon to Greece...etc....

14. Story of the Ring (Part 2)

i've been trying to get a good picture of it but they all turn out pretty blurry (crappy camera's...or crappy operators i suppose...). i was looking through my recently uploaded photos and saw this - a decent picture of the ring! normally i wouldn't post such a flattering picture of myself but.....

i'm hoping i can get some better pictures soon - but until that time here is a glimpse! i'm super happy with it (a bit suprised at how big it turned out but still super happy!)

p.s. if you're new to the blog and want to know the full story of the ring check this out.

10. It's Here (too)!!

the jeweler called chris yesterday - my ring is finally finished! (only took seven weeks...)


tonight after work we're going to go pick it up!! i am SO excited! (hopefully i can get some good pictures of it with my camera :))

9. It's Here!!

my wedding gown has arrived!!!


i just got the notice in the mail today and cannot wait to go look at it :) it'll be awhile before i start any alterations though - gotta get in shape!


and just in case you were wondering - i was torn between these two dresses before - but i ultimately decided to go with this little number. i know i called it a gown but..oh well. what do you all think?

p.s. totally kidding on that. i wouldn't wear that even if i did have the body - good god.
