Ohhh, Blogging...I remember you...

Well, I have seriously neglected blogging. We have had a lot go on in a short amount of time. The stress of it all kiiiiinda got the best of me. Okay, who are we kidding-it totally got the best of me. Let me recap for you...

In my last post, I said within the next month, I...am going to be moving into our house, planning my wedding, starting my last semester of grad school, and starting my third year teaching. All of that WAS true! However, the whole moving into our house thing...not so much. Long story short, our appraisal came back $50,000 short of our offer (No, I did not stutter nor am I exaggerating...unfortunately!). We've been looking for the last month and have found another home to attempt to buy. We are under contract and hope to close before too long! Say a prayer for us and send all your positive mojo our way! :) I'll keep everyone updated!

This weekend, we celebrated my sweet cousin-to-be, Cali, at her bridal shower! It was adorbs with a Nautical theme. I was able to make some cute decor for some aspects with my amazing Cricut :) The Bride To Be pendant banner was fairly easy to make. The cardboard-colored pendants are made in a 5x7 size, cream-colored in 4x6, and then I used the Alphalicious cartridge super Stacked at 3.5". I'm so glad I could help, even in such a small way, help make this day special for Cali! (Check out her ridiculously cute blog here!)

While I'm up to my eyeballs in school, work, wedding, and new house stuff, I've tried to make time for those crazy kids that actually choose to be my friends :) Derek and I, along with Briana (her blog is fabulous, as well!) and Phil has established a lazy Saturday. Our day consists of homework for the girls, outside projects for the guys, then cooking dinner together. I look forward to it every week!

The wedding is officially less than six months away. Holy Guacamole. I cannot even believe it. Before I know it, it'll be March and we'll be HERE!

For now, I think I've given you enough of an earfull. I'll be back soon with some new recipes and updates on life! :)
