So you all have probably given up on me. You thought I wasn't going to blog again, right? Yeah. Life has been a little busy lately. But I do still intend to chronicle life stuff here.
Here's a quick run-down on my life recently...
Early November we celebrated my Mom's 50th birthday. It was a really fun weekend with family in from out of town and great friends coming together to celebrate with a big party. My Mom is one of my favorite people and it was a joy to celebrate her that weekend. I didn't get any pictures of the party....but we did get this picture of us after the party...
Happy 50th Birthday Mom!
It was over that weekend that I got to meet my sister's (at that point in time) boyfriend. Since then, my sister became engaged and we have done a great deal of wedding planning (hence the lack of blogging). Mega-congrats to Brooke and Ezra!
(many thanks to Rachel McCord for capturing the engagement)
Over Thanksgiving I headed south to Medford to be with my parents and do wedding related projects. We took an hour break to eat Thanksgiving dinner at Rooster's with a good portion of the older population of Medford. Mildly un-traditional, but still very delicious. It was great to have a few days off and to spend time with my parents.
My mom is a rock star wedding planner....binder and all. This was one of the final steps of our Thanksgiving-Wedding project....
My sister came up over the first weekend in December to find THE wedding dress. Given the short engagement, we had to find a dress that weekend. I never really believed that you just "know" when you've found "THE DRESS", but I stand corrected because we could definitely tell from Brooke's face when she put the right one on.
Here she is leaving the Bridal shop with the dress....
I got a Christmas tree and decorated the apartment for Christmas....I know, so grown up of me. I've been talking about wanting a tree for a couple years....and since this year I'll be here for Christmas I decided it was time to actually get a tree. The great thing was that I was able to get a tree from a Church that was selling trees to raise money for the Beaverton Homeless Student Fund and an orphanage in Africa.
Here's my tree....in the living room....
It's been a busy, but good last month and a half. I'm looking forward to the coming month and all the big events happening!
Phew.....now I feel somewhat updated.
