I can't believe it! 2013 is flying by!
I am so excited to see how it all comes together!
I am also excited to hear Jeff's vows. (We are writing our own)
I can't wait to try the cake, and I am hoping it only goes in my mouth. *Fingers crossed*
I am thrilled to have a good reason for Jeff to dance with me!
I am ahead of myself and already looking forward to making our wedding album on Shutterfly.
I met our photographer/videographer on Friday. He took my Bridal photos. It was so great! We did them at the capitol building. I am ashamed to say I had never been there. It was gorgeous and I am anxiously waiting to see how they turned out! I really like the photographer. He has a LOT of experience and was super nice. You could definitely tell he knew what he was doing; he was adjusting things on his camera that I didn't even know existed.
I will be sending out invitations next week! Eeeek!! Seriously?! That makes it so super real... Like now, most people don't know when or where to show up and so if the day came, well it wouldn't really happen. I'm very excited to send them out for that reason; and because, they are home-designed using photoshop and the skills of one of my good friends, Amber. We saved so much money doing it this way AND got the exact invitations we wanted. The wedding invitation companies just can't compete. It was literally 40 cents each with envelopes. The companies were charging $4.00 each withOUT envelopes.
For reals though, I am just super STOKED about the honeymoon. I. CANNOT. WAIT. But I guess I will.

Holidays!
The holiday break was so wonderful! It was great to just relax and have fun! It was much needed and long anticipated!
Christmas:
First we went to the Patterson Christmas Party! So much fun! We had a sandwich bar and homemade gifts! It is so fun seeing what everyone made. We made inspirational picture frames for everyone. :) Homemade Christmas is a recently added tradition and I think it makes Christmas much more fun for adults. Plus, that eliminates SO much Christmas shopping!
Then we went to the Andreason Christmas Party! Always a good time! We had drinks and sandwiches (apparently great families think alike!) and Santa came to visit like always. Good food and even better company - you can't go wrong!
Next we went to an Ugly Sweater/White Elephant/Housewarming Party hosted by our good friends Brad and Leah. They put on such a fun night! We played ping pong. We ate pizza, cookies, brownies (yummmm) and exchanged hilarious white elephant gifts! Leah and Brad gifted the leg lamp - so awesome. We gifted a stuffed football remote and it sounded like whoever got it was going to put it to great use!
And last but not least, we went to a Christmas Cocktail Party. Chris and Tracy were amazing hosts! We had homemade bread (best I've ever had!), cheese, cookies, fruit, pigs in a blanket (they even made blankets without pigs just for me!) and of course COCKTAILS! Delicious cocktails too! I can't remember the names of any of the ones I had, but they were all so good. We played a riveting game of catch phrase at the end of the night! I love that game.
New Year's:
We hosted a New Year's Party! We played Minute-to-Win-it style games. It was a ping-pong ball booty shakin', cup stackin', paper bag bitin' good time. Hahaha! I made cake batter muddy buddies and OMG... they are so good and addictive! It was great to ring in 2013 with some of our favorite people. I danced for the first 5 minutes of the new year! You should try it next year - it was phenomenal.
**Clearly, blogger is malfunctioning because it will not allow me to upload photos this morning. Sooo... boring old paragraphs for now, I suppose.**
