Hello there! It was so nice to wear a short dress out last night, with a light coat over it, and not be totally freezing! Although, by the time we left the resaturant/bar, I was pretty cold when we walked back to the car. When we got to Brew Works, we were told it would be between 45 minutes and an hour wait for a table. I was already hungry, so that didn't make me happy. But, Bob found a high top table by the bar, and we asked if we could sit there, and luckily we could. (Turns out it's a self-seating section by the bar.) So, that worked out well. I had what I always have there: soft pretzels and beer cheese soup dip. Soooo amazing!
After some drinks and food, we went to the downstairs bar area. That was pretty crowded, too. More so than usual when we've been there. So, we couldn't sit at the bar. But, we sat on ottomans in the same room, and after a little while some people got up, and left a couch, so we moved to the couch. We don't go out by ourselves much, for dinner and/or drinks. So, it was nice to do that. Four months from this past Friday is our wedding! And four months from today we leave for the honeymoon. I'm just so excited for the honeymoon! And to be off of work for two and a half weeks. It'll be MUCH needed.
Yesterday I took some pictures outside, it was way too beautiful out to miss that opportunity. I'll be taking more pictures outside today, as well. It's also beautiful out today! In the pictures below I'm wearing a Modcloth dress. It has U.S. states/cities all over it. I love the print so much. It's very appropriate for me, since I'm a big traveler. It also matches quite well with my orange/redish colour B.A.I.T. Footwear spectators, that I received a week ago. (Got them half off!!)

Hello there! I'm so excited that this is a three day weekend, and I have off tomorrow as well! Bob doesn't have off tomorrow. The next time we get off of work is for Memorial Day, over three months away! That's the longest gap between work holidays, for the whole year. (Trust me, I've analyzed this, ha.)
Well, today it's NOT supposed to snow, so that is a much needed reprieve! But, it it supposed to snow/rain Tuesday. By Friday though, it's supposed to be 50 degrees! I am soooo looking forward to that!
Today Bob and I are mostly just hanging out here. I'm going to work out and read, and maybe go to Panera later on. We're going to watch "Dallas Buyer's Club." I really wanted to
see it when it was in theaters, but we didn't end up going. It just became availabe
On Demand, so I'm happy about that! Also my mom is stopping by later. I believe she's bringing my veil, she just finished making it yesterday. But, she did she thinks the colour may be wrong...so, *fingers crossed* that the colour will be okay!! If it's not an exact match, I'm okay with that.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my very first Modcloth dress. I got it a year ago, back when the obsession with Modcloth dresses was just a little seed....now it's grown into a tree! Ha. I still love it so. Love the rainbow colours, the quirky print, and of course the fit & flare shape of it. Perfection. So many accessories, cropped cardigans/shrugs, and shoes match with it, which is also a bonus!

Hello there! Ahh the lovely weekend has come back around again, this time it's a three day one, which makes me VERYYY happy! Last night I had some drinks at the apartment, and watched "The Office" with Bob. His friend came over for for awhile, and he worked on our computer. It's been running slowly for a long time, and his friend is really good with fixing computers. I can see a difference today.That was really nice of him to do that for us.
Yesterday my veil pattern came in! My mom's going to make my veil next month. I'm so lucky that she's very helpful, and a talented seamstress! Also a pair of heels came in yesterday. I ordered them as my possible wedding shoes...and, I LOVE them! They seem like they'll be comfortable, which is very important. They got a lot of good reviews online: a lot of people said they were comfortable. I think they're really cute too. I sent pictures of them to my bridesmaids, and they all liked them. So, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping them! I might look at heels a little bit tomorrow at the mall, in the off chance I see anything I really love, but I doubt I'll find better ones, and at a good price.
I hope we find our wedding rings tomorrow, as well as a bra for my wedding dress. I want to get those two things out of the way. I want to get as many items out of the way now as I possibly can. I don't want to be stressing at the last minute! I know the time is going to go really fast, the closer we get. It even sounds pretty close now, to say it's five months away.
Today I don't have many plans. Bob is going to his parents later on, to work on brewing beer with his brother. I'm going to clean the aparment, do laundry, work out, and call my grandmother. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, to go to the mall and movies with Bob. We're seeing "Nebraska."
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my favourite casual outfits. I love the pairing of this shade of bright blue with lime green. And I adore this necklace! I wish I had more to wear it with. The colours are so exceptional in it, so nice and bright.

Hello there! Ugh, we had more snow today! All day, it started early in the morning. Luckily, the drive to work was fine. But, we got out a little early today because of the weather, and when I turned out of the parking lot onto the road, I started sliding already. I got really scared, and ended up going back to my work parking lot, and calling Bob to come pick me up. The road that runs in front of my work was still slippery when he picked me up, and he was driving a big truck. The main roads ended up being alright, and since he does drive a big, heavy truck, he is less likely to slide than I am in my car. I can't believe it's not even winter yet, and we've had 3 snowfalls in a week! This is so awful.
Tonight I'm not doing much at all. Bob will be plowing for hours. I'm just going to relax- read, watch TV.
Christmas is SO close now! I can't wait until next week. This Friday is the company work party, and Saturday Bob and I are going to my parent's for their Christmas party for their friends. My sister is coming home on Friday, and will be here for a few days.
I have worn the dress in the pictures below several times on my blog. It's one of my favourites. It's the first dress I ever got from Modcloth, last February. I love it paired with this bright blue cropped cardigan and thick red belt.

Hello there! Tonight I'm going to do laundry, watch a Christmas movie I took out of the library, and bake Funfetti cookies. Bob does not like watching Christmas movies, ha. He better get used to it though!
So,
this week Bob and I started thinking about going to New Orleans on our
honeymoon. He's never been, and I only went once, when I was fourteen. I
loved it, even though I didn't get to see a whole lot. We've been looking up prices for roundtrip airfare and hotel, and it's quite reasonable. We've mainly been looking at a particular hotel, which seems to be very close to lots of places. (It's in the French Quarter.) I think we'll be booking the trip within the next couple weeks.
My only real concern is how hot & humid it'll be when we're there. I looked it up online to see the average high temperature for June, and also see what people said about the humidity. The average high is 89, and I read mixed responses about the humidity...but, I think we'll be alright. Obviously there'll be plenty of places we can step inside to cool off. And the hotel has a rooftop pool & bar, which sounds awesome! When I went at the end of July, I remember it was hot, but it wasn't unbearable or anything.
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my favourite dresses. This is actually the first dress I ordered from Modcloth. I love pairing it with that super bright rainbow necklace! And yet again, I found an outfit to pair my fruit flats with. Yay!

Hello there! Today I'm not doing too much. It'll be a typical Sunday. Bob and I are just hanging at the apartment. I'm going to do some laundry and work out. Yesterday my mom and I had a great time going Christmas decoration shopping in Pennsylvania. She was very generous, and bought me a few items. At the first shop she bought me a gorgeous little hand made feather tree, and a handmade pumpkin. These items are pictured below. The people who run the shop have a workshop there too, and make all the items in it. They are very talented!
She also bought me a couple Christmas ornaments. I actually only spent a dollar, when I bought a pumpkin beanie baby.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Halloween costume. I hadn't bought a costume in five years. I really love this one! It's so perfect for me, since I love bright colours, and sweets! I wore it last night when Bob and I went to his friend's costume party. The only problem was, after a little while I had to put on my coat and keep it on, because his friend doesn't have heat! I even left the party early because I was so cold.
The lollipop accessory I happened to find yesterday, at Party City. It looks like it came with the outfit, because they match so well! It was only $6, too. I can't wait to wear this outfit again. I'll be wearing it to work on Hallowen.
Bob was bad/hippie Santa again, ha. He's been that several other times. He carries around a trash bag full of little wrapped "gifts." The "gifts" are hilarious. Everyone gets a kick out of it! For example he wrapped hemorrhoid cream, enemas, pennies, etc. He hits up the clearance bin at Wal*mart.
At least at the party I got to hang out with a tiny kitten for a little bit! His friend (the one who lived there) had recently gotten her. She was so adorable and sweet! I got to hold her, too. There's nothing cuter than kittens!
