A Pet's 10 Commandments

Every once in a while I go looking to adopt another dog. A friend for Piper Girl.
I came across this on one of the websites. I think every dog owner should read this. It's sweet and makes you take a step back and really think about your dog and how much they really do love you. So give your little girl or guy and extra hug tonight :)



Sorry it's a little fuzzy.

HOLY COLD!!

I thought I would be nice and take Piper for a quick walk this morning. I knew it was going to be cold....but not this cold (and windy). She ran all the way home. We lasted about 5 minutes.

It is currently 1 degree outside and with the windchill it is -6

BBrrrrr........

Wedding Planning...

1. Still don't have a venue; therefore, still no date
2. Ordering my dress this weekend
3. Need to figure out what shoes I want to order before I order the dress. I have a pair of shoes that I ordered, that i LOVE, but they are 4 1/4"....not sure that will be a great idea. AND they were under $100. YIPPEEEEE.....

Here are the shoes....


Maybe I can find a pair of platform flip flops?!?!?

What season is it again....?

Today was bizarre...55 degrees and POURING outside. It felt like spring aka Mud Season here in Vermont. It was gross out all day. The rain melted all of the pretty snow, so now it is ugly outside. BUT, according to the weatherman it will again get cold as the week goes on.

MIA

So yet again I have been MIA. Been busy trying to figure out WHERE to have the reception.
We have looked at several places and none of them have jumped out at us. The good news is, I found a dress! I will be ordering that soon. So at least I will have something to wear when the big day is here.

I went shopping with my mom, J's mom and my good friend Laura this weekend. Afterwards we did a little wine tasting. Great way to spend a Saturday!



Other than that I have been getting ready to head back to work. Yup, you heard right, vacation is over. I accepted a job just before Christmas and the start date is February 1st. I am pretty excited to get back to work, although, now I have tons of things to do, so I feel like I could use some more time off...8 months off, if only I was engaged when I got laid off, I could have planned the entire thing!

Exciting News...

J and I are planning a wedding!!!!
He proposed on December 30th. He caught me totally off guard.
We are very excited. Trying to shoot for a September wedding.

...and the planning begins!

Creative Gift Wrapping

I had a few bottles of wine to wrap and as we all know, when you wrap wine, it's pretty obvious about what it is. I got a little creative. Here are some pictures...


Wrap the bottles in decorative tissue paper


Place bottles in Styrofoam piece and then place into box


Put top onto box, tie and bow, and you're done!
(I had to wait to post these pics so that the receiver of the wine didn't get any clues)
