Busy weekend ahead

I think I'm finally starting to get into the Christmas spirit. It is very late into the season, but things have been so busy that I haven't had time to give Christmas much thought. This weekend will be filled with many holiday activites! Tonight, Geof took me to the Festival of Lights at a local park and it was beautiful. We took the dogs and they really enjoyed it too.
Tomorrow I have the holiday party at my ice rick (I teach figure skating part-time) and then we will be doing Chrismas shopping and getting our tree at some point. We go to a local farm/orchard and cut our own tree down. It's a tradition we just started last year and I am excited to keep it going.
Hopefully I get a lot accomplished this weekend and have more updates!

Wedding pictures!

My wonderful photographer Cindy Guessford recently posted some images from our wedding on her blog. I had to share and I cannot wait to see the rest!

Beautiful day

Legally Blonde: The Musical

Geof took me to see Legally Blonde: The Musical on Friday night and it was fantastic! I have always loved the movie and thought it would be fun to go see the musical. He was a little less than thrilled to go see something so girly, but he was a good sport and enjoyed himself. I was surprised that a lot of couples were there.
We started the night out at one of our favorite restaurants called Jones. They basically serve all different kinds of upscale comfort food. For instance, you can get baked mac ‘n cheese as an appetizer. That is definitely my kind of place. We shared the mac ‘n cheese and then I had a grilled cheese and tomato soup and he had a turkey club. We shared a side of boursin mashed potatoes, which were so good. For dessert, we shared a slice of peanut butter pie and it was heavenly.
The show was at the Academy of Music and it was high-energy from beginning to end. I thought it represented the movie very well and the music/songs were very catchy. Bruiser (Elle’s dog) was adorable and the UPS guy had everyone cracking up.
Overall we had such a nice night. This is my first show that I have gone to in a long time and I definitely wouldn’t mind seeing some more often.
Here are some pictures from the night:

Elf on the Shelf

I heard about this on the local radio show this morning and I thought it was pretty funny. There is a website for this thing called, “Elf on the Shelf”. I know in my house growing up whenever Christmas was getting close, my mom used to always say things like, “Better be careful, Santa’s watching” or “Santa knows who’s been naughty or nice”. This “Elf” takes it to a whole new level.
Basically it comes in a box from the company saying it’s from the North Pole and has an Elf, activity book, etc. You’re supposed to explain to your child that this Elf is a scout sent by Santa and he reports back every night if you’ve been good or bad.
I think it’s funny and brilliant, others might find it offensive. I don’t have children yet, but I bet this would be a great way to keep them well-behaved in the months leading up to Christmas.
Here is one more invention I wish I thought of!

Love my Curve

I got the Pink Blackberry Curve 8380 back in September and I absolutely love it. This is my first Smartphone and it is wonderful. I can go on the internet, check email and text with ease (I kind of sound like a commercial…sorry). The phone takes decent pictures and video as well. I usually have my Bluetooth hooked up to it when I’m talking, but the sound is always loud and clear.

I just thought I would pass it along in case anyone is looking for a good phone.

2 month anniversary

I cannot believe that we have been married for 2 months already! I know this is not a major milestone by any means, but the time goes by quickly and I’m so happy to be the wife of such a wonderful man. I hope to always remember our special day like it was yesterday and cherish the love and happiness we felt.

I am still waiting on the professional pictures, but here are a few that our friends and family took:

The group

Bad Girls Club

I know this is silly and I’m probably going to lose some brain cells watching, but the new season of The Bad Girls club starts tomorrow night on Oxygen. This show in the past has been a complete train wreck. For those that have never seen it before, it is 7 self-proclaimed “Bad Girls” living in a house together. You can only imagine the drama and antics that take place.
It is my guilty pleasure and I can’t wait to watch!
