March Goals.

I can't even believe February is over.

I don't know if the beginning part of the year moves quickly for everyone,

but I feel like it's flying by.

At the end of January, I said that I wasn't making goals for February because it was too cold to do anything.

I can't even believe that was 4 weeks ago.

The temperature was close to 50 degrees today,

so I thought I should probably make some goals for March.

They're broad and achievable. 

Just how I like them.

Some random thoughts:

- I'm so excited and thankful for everybody's suggestions about TV shows that I should watch. I have time coming up and I'm definitely going to invest in a few of them.
- I haven't been sleeping. Which is strange because I'm usually such an amazing sleeper. Last night, I woke up at 2:30, couldn't fall back to sleep so I decided to clean and do the dishes. So annoying but conveniently organized for the morning. :)
- I realized that I still haven't taken pictures of our extra room to show as part of the home tour (from back in January). So, I'll be trying to do that in the next couple days. Here is our kitchen, dining/living room, bedroom, and bathroom if you're interested.
- I'm going back to watch DVR.
- Goodnight!

Happy June!

I'm really going to try to do this:

I hope it's not a major fail.

Here's Day One:

Recapping 2011!

It's that time of year again -- and honestly, I feel like I just wrote a recap of 2010? But apparently, 2011 is over, too!

So here we go...

January

The first of January meant that it was a big year for us because it was the year of our wedding! I bought my wedding shoes and reserved the boys tuxes. In non-wedding related news, we moved into Sean's parents house to save money for a house the wedding, it snowed an awful lot, and we celebrated my dad's birthday!

February

In February, I received something in the mail that was so special, Sean's band had their first show at the Palladium, we started our dance classes, went to our cake tasting & our food tasting, and spent a weekend in New York City.    

March

In March, I had my first hair trial, finally made some decisions and booked our honeymoon, had my amazing bridal shower & was featured on Jacin's Lovely Little Details blog, our invitations arrived in the mail, and we celebrated Sean's birthday. 

 April

In April, I realized I didn't love our wedding invitations, made our table numbers & love banner, traveled to Maine for Easter, took a countless amount of pictures with our table numbers in Maine for our seating cards, went away to New Hampshire for scrapbook weekend, and celebrated my cousin, Lizzie's, birthday.    

May

In May, I revealed what I did during my scrapbook weekend in April, continued having wedding nightmares, "ran" my first 5K and assembled my wedding invitations, mailed out those invitations, received some RSVPs, created my 101 in 1001 list and accomplished the first thing: hiking a mountain.  

June

In June, I found my something old, was obsessed with these socks, attended the Bruins parade, had so many to-do lists, got my something blue, tried not to get tan lines, did so many DIY projects, celebrated our anniversary, started my Montessori training and filed for our marriage license!  

 

July

In July, all the work and planning and time fell exactly into place and our wedding day arrived, I spent weeks recapping the wedding on this here blog, we bought our first large purchase together - a new car, celebrated my mom's birthday, my garden produced many zucchinis, spent a weekend in Maine, spent time with friends, and I finally started thinking about things other than the wedding.

 August

In August, we traveled to Ireland for our honeymoon, threw a ladies luncheon for my cousin Lindsey, celebrated our one month anniversary, I went back to work, Hurricane Irene took away our electricity for 3 days, and I spent the entire month recapping the wedding & the honeymoon. 

 September

In September, I recapped our summer, turned 25, saw my cousin Lindsey get married, got an acoustic guitar, was very excited about new Fall t.v. & clothes, saw Sean's friend get married, and spent lots of time with the dachshunds. 

October

In October, I was a bad blogger, went to the Cape for a girls weekend, carved pumpkins & finished my wedding album, got the new iPhone, got really excited for the new Twilight movie, started grad school, mother nature gave us our first Halloween blizzard (we had a snow day!) and gave out candy with the dachshunds.    

 November

In November, I was a realllly bad blogger, my husband surprised me with something terrific on a day that wasn't so terrific, I realized I don't take enough pictures, saw the new Twilight movie (twice!), Sean grew out his beard and was in the newspaper, celebrated Thanksgiving as a wife and had a marathon shopping event on Black Friday. 

 December

In December, we took pictures for our first Christmas card ever, had weekends filled with Taco Bell and gossip magazines, saw my friend get married, participated in my first ever blog link-up, hosted our annual cookie exchange, saw the Patriots play on Christmas Eve, spent lots of time with friends and family, and put a deposit down for a new apartment!  

I guess we had a busy year! How about you?

September's Gone.

Well, September is long gone. 

Luckily, we had a great month. :)

I attended a good friend's bridal shower, saw my cousin get married, received an acoustic guitar as a birthday gift, was able to reunite with MOST of my cousins at the wedding, got our wedding rings in the mail from Ireland, had Redsox tickets handed to me (before they went completely downhill), got ready for the fall with my new Patriots shirt and Uggs, took pictures in a photobooth, and celebrated turning twenty-five. Woah.

I'm excited for October. It's going to be busy! I have a girls weekend over Columbus Day weekend, we're going to Fright Night at 6 Flags on the 14th, Sean has a show in NY on the 15th, I have a 3-day seminar starting the 21st PLUS I start grad school on the 6th, plan on finishing my wedding scrapbook, need to go apple picking, carve a pumpkin, find a Halloween costume, watch tons of scary movies, finally change my last name, and complete our loan application so we can formally begin the process of house hunting. Busy, busy!
