Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We hope you all had an amazing turkey day! There are so many things to be thankful for...and knowing you is one of them!

Hello hello hello! I know it's been sooo long since I've posted...but we've also accomplished a lot. I mean A LOT! First of all, we booked the lovely Melanie as our photographer! I've loved looking at all her pictures online, and judging from the emails we've written one another, I think she'll be the perfect fit for our wedding. I'm so excited to meet with her and get the plans under way! Also...we've put our deposit down on our cake, and we got the menu all planned out with Viafore's! Yay! The next thing on our list to do is to register. We're going to register at Macy's (of course), Bed Bath and Beyond, and Crate and Barrel. We're going to go up to Seattle and do all the gun shooting (which Brian is totally excited about). I think we're planning on staying up there on a Sunday and then on Monday hit the Southcenter mall for a little Christmas shopping as well. Kinda like killing two birds with one stone. After that we'll only really have to find a dj and get someone to do our flowers. I think our flowers are going to be pink and orange gerbera daisies, stargazer lillies, and casablanca lillies. That's pretty much it for the big stuff. We'll be sending out the save the dates as soon as we finalize the guest list.

Well, not much has happened other than getting wedding stuff taken care of. Brian and I had a date night on Saturday which consisted of buying fish for his fishtank, dinner, and Heroes. He has his 55-gallon tank all set up and we just added 5 tiger barb fish to start with. We're going to add more after a week or two. We tried a new pizza place in Gig Harbor, and it was really good. It's at the new uptown center and it's a woodfire pizza place. Delicious! It's right next to Ben and Jerry's, so it'll be double delicious in the summer (B&J's closes earlier in the winter)! We had a prociutto and arugala pizza, and wow! It totally took me back to eating pizza at a little place in Rome. We ended the evening back at my house watching the first season of Heroes. We're on our last episodes and I'm totally on edge! If you've never seen the show, it's really good and totally worth buying or renting.

That's all in the lives of Brian and Chrissy. This week is kind of a bummer because we won't really get to spend time together until Thanksgiving. I close tomorrow night and Brian closes Wednesday night. I have to be at work at 4:45am Friday for all the freaks who go shopping at 5am. I'm kidding, they're not freaks...well, they're only freaks if they don't buy anthing from me :). Anyways, hope all is well with you all! And if I don't talk to you before hand...HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Oh what busy lives we lead!

Wow! I never realized just how busy I am until I sit down at the computer and realize it's been awhile since I've updated! Life is wonderful...working working working as usual. Working retail is definitely slow right now. Not a lot of people shopping in this economy. I've been trying to keep busy though, and I've had a couple trips to Seattle for work to keep me occupied. In fact, I have a manager's meeting in Seattle tomorrow...boy I'm sure glad my little Cooper gets amazing gas mileage!

We're getting more things done for the wedding! Thanks to Molly, I'm almost 100% sure we have a wonderful photographer. I'm really excited and I hope it all works out. We're going to set up a meeting with both the caterer (Viafore's...so yummy!) and the cake place. We're still in need of a good dj, so I'm keeping my eyes and ears open! I can't believe the wedding is less than 7 months away! It's going by so fast, but I feel like it's not fast enough! I guess I just can't wait to be married and to be able to come home to him every night and start our lives together. Ah! I love him so much!

I got the chance to go to a wonderful bridal shower for one of my bridesmaids. Miss Lindsay Joy, who was one of my best friend's in college, is getting married January 3. She's so happy and I'm so happy for her. Her maid of Honor, Jessie, put on the best shower. It was so fun! She gave me some really good ideas...for both the party and what to register for, which is one of the next things we're going to cross off our list.

All this writing about what we've accomplished and what we still need to do has my mind spinning. I need to put it to use and start looking stuff up, so I'll update again when I get a second! Love you guys!
