im back!

my resolution at the completion with residency is to resume normal blogging! i miss it terribly. not just documenting my own stuff, but also reading some of my favorites. i am also thinking that i may start this new phase by creating a new blog. we will see!

here are some updates from the past few months!

1. laura gave me some money for my birthday to pay for my first year of additional photo storage on the blog! im super excited to be able to share my photos with you again!

2. handsome and i bought our wedding bands! i was VERY against having diamonds to a point that i cannot even explain, but after trying on so many different bands, i ended up falling for them. that's right, i fell for the diamonds! i am a bit disgusted with myself, but i know it will match my engagement ring very well since it is being made to match. we saw the final products on february 18th and they are wonderful!

3. karen found her bridesmaid dress! it is the perfect color, the perfect fabric, the perfect texture and the perfect price! i could not have found something better. and she found great shoes too! if only i could find the perfect shoes.

4. i found my bridesmaid dress for my friends wedding in june!

5. i have almost fully completed the wording for the wedding program! the next step is my mom sewing them all together!

6. i completed the wording for the wedding invitation and rsvp card and they are ready for printing!

7. lots of ribbon has been purchased and cut to begin the construction of the wedding wands for the ceremony!

8. at this point there are no jobs on the horizon. as in no jobs open that i am interested in. i was pretty negative about this situation for the past few months, but i have recently found a surge of positivity and have decided not to worry about it. everything is going to work out exactly how it is supposed to and i have complete faith in that statement!

9. i have finally found someone to cut my hair in little rock who understands what real bangs are and is respectful of the fact that i do not want to be kim kardashian.

10. i found a dress to wear for either a shower or the welcome dinner! i havent decided which event yet.

only five months left and there are more exciting things to come!

love.
