Wait, I have a blog?

Oopsies. Yeah, fully neglected the blog for a couple months. I got a job here about 6 weeks ago, and life hasn't slow down since! Between working some LONG days and trying to plan my wedding on the side, life has been busy! We also got an offer on the condo a couple weeks back, so it looks like we'll be moving this summer :) Here's what's been happening, as of late...



A little wine tasting in Walla Walla







Hangin' with the adorable Owen...my nephew is seriously the cutest.









Jeff, Rikki and Baby Owen






Off to Chelan to celebrate the bride-to-be, Diggy!






Cute Ailie who was such a trooper to go wine tasting while prego!


She had a spittoon if she tasted some :)

















Our last stop (luckily)...yikes.

Hmmm, what's new...


Wow, my blogging is not quite what it used to be! To be honest, it's been kinda busy and I really don't have much to blog about! Here's what's been going on...

*I found my wedding dress, yay! I went dress shopping with most of my bridesmaids at the end of February and found my dress on a grey, drizzly Saturday afternoon at La Belle Elaines in Seattle. She's real pretty :) I'd post a pic but I have a strict no peeking rule enforced for the fiancé.

*I found my wedding photog last month as well! So happy to have that checked off the list and I couldn't be more excited to have her come down and shoot our wedding! Check out the very talented Nancy Noble in Portland, OR. We are doing our engagement pictures down there next month, can't wait!

*In other news...I am job searching, which is never much fun...but I think will be a great thing ultimately. I need to move on after 6 years at my current job & do something different. Not the world's greatest timing to be looking for a new job, but it's time for me to have a fresh start and maybe for once do something I love. Okay love is a strong word when talking about work...like, perhaps? :) Let me know if any of you have any brilliant ideas for me :)

Other than that, just wedding planning, endless amounts of job searching and hanging at home with Brad mostly. Looking forward to the weekend to celebrate Coffey & the upcoming arrival of Baby RJR tomorrow afternoon, followed by Lisa's annual birthday extravaganza "Marge Madness".

Happy almost SPRING! Who else is ready?

April 15th cannot come soon enough..

...and not because it's Tax Day, but because my favorite dreamy Coach is back.


I miss you guys, can't wait for Fright Night Lights final season airing Friday 4/15 at 8pm on NBC. I feel like Explosions in the Sky is constantly playing in the background of all my thoughts lately, I need some Dillon, TX back in my life!

Love...

...my sweet fiancé. I arrived to work & found sitting on my desk: a little mini rose bush, a card and the Toms I've had my eye on. Less than 9 months to go, cannot WAIT to be married to him! :)

Zihuatanejo trip!

Finally I am getting around to blogging our trip from January. We had such an incredible week down there! It was so relaxing and fun, and we found our wedding destination...so I'd say it was a pretty successful vacation :) So in no particular order, here are some shots from the trip...
