bonne année (2009)
the year of the wedding. the year of the move. the year of the reds winning. the year of the ox. the year of incandescent lightbulbs being banned in ireland & new zealand. the year of barack. the year of a total solar eclipse.
the year of change. enjoy it.

in search of...
i am in search of the following things:
- new laptop
*this computer is from early 2003 and is SOOOOO slow
*any suggestions? - female orange kitten
*lilah needs a friend - 30+ mason jars
*centerpieces - someone to ice 400 funfetti cupcakes the week of the wedding
*i can make & freeze them ahead of time, but i am NOT going to want to ice them.
*or even, someone to make them for me...that won't charge upwards of $1.50-$2 for ONE CUPCAKE (which is what one baker told us). the entire box of funfetti doesn't cost that! - new camera
*mine is from high school and takes FOUR batteries (= cumbersome)
*i spilled applesauce on it one time at the lake and the zoom hasn't been the same since
*any suggestions?
greetings
wow. i have been neglecting my blogging duties. my november resolution is to blog more.
i have been working hard on wedding stuff for the past month. i got my dress, worked out more with the budget, started planning centerpieces, and created & ordered my save-the dates. i hope to start picking out colors soon -- so bridesmaids, when are you free?
here is a teaser from our save-the-dates
chris was in town this weekend and we had a wonderful whirlwind of a time. we visited all sorts of people and had the surprise shindig at shamrock's last night. he is already nearly to NY already. here is our schedule for the next months:
*two weeks: thanksgiving in philly w/ the andersons
*one week after that: army/navy game in philly
*two weeks after that: xmas break/xmas cabin
this is one of the best stretches of our relationship yet, in terms of getting to see each other so much. i can't wait until i get to be with my best friend and love every DAY.
okay. one post down, dozens more to go.
i resolved; therefore, i type.

upcoming travel
being in a long-distance relationship means one of us is always traveling. we have several trips lined up in the next 8 months...as well as some tentative plans for after the wedding.
sept 22: dinner in frankfort w/ erica
oct 1: BLC dinner in winchester
october 9-12: chris in town for my cousin's wedding
nov 26-30: chris and i in philly for t'giving (at one of the groomsmen's houses)
dec 5-7: army/navy game in philly
feb 7-10: reading recovery conference in columbus (teacher thing)
feb 21: 100th night @ WP
may 23: WP graduation
chris will have 30-60 days of leave after graduation. we will be going on our honeymoon and settling in together. we don't know official dates yet, but we do know this much:
*BOLC II: 6 wks in either ft sill, OK or ft benning, GA
*BOLC III: 11.5 wks in ft lee, VA
*after that, we will get our official post. we can post at many places: 3 posts in germany, 1 in italy, or any major post in the US. (not sure about asia yet)
it's crazy to think about all of this actually happening, since we've been talking about it for so long. i can't wait to be together with chris every day. it will literally be a dream come true.
