20. EAD

My Fiance and I recently had the pleasure of working with a friend of ours on some photos. He is actually our wedding DJ and is expanding his business to included videography and photography. Here are a few pictures and a link to the rest of his work and contact info. 

 Happy Monday everyone!

18. A New Year

2011 is now gone, and a new year has taken it's place. I think for now I'll leave last year where it belongs. In the past. So no post about my non-eventful yet fun NYE. 

Nothing can top last years anyway. Being proposed to is by far the best way to spend such a night! So major props to my Fiance for coming up with such great plans, and doing just that. For those of you not around ( and because I frankly just want to relive that day a little), I'm doing a recap of last NYE .

One year ago, on NYE...

Okay, super cheesy way to start, oh well.

So, January 31, 2010 we left for our favorite city, San Francisco. All the while I was thinking it was just a regular weekend get away, boy was I wrong. The boy had a lot planned! For some reason, the morning of this day practically slips my memory completely! I'm guessing because the rest of the day was so magical. I remember getting pizza for lunch... and that seems to be it. What I do remember is how he dropped me off to get get one of the best mani-pedi's I've ever had! Why was i not putting things together at this point?! NYE trip to my favorite place? Being pampered? Man, I am sure slow! Next we took a walk down Haight St to find Greg a beanie, where he insisted we go for a walk in Golden Gate Park next. I on the other hand was anxious to our hotel and check in so I could get dolled up for the night! So with little fight I decided the walk in the park could still fit in!

Let's just say, I'm glad I did. 

With ring in pocket, camera in hand, we set of on a little walk. After finding the perfect spot he asked me if we wanted to make a New Years video to share with our friends in family. He set up the tripod, asked me to go stand in the frame to make sure we could both be seen and joined me on the little grassy hill he had found. Needless to say, he poured his heart out, dropped to one knee, and pulled the most amazing ring out of his pocket. I cried, we laughed... and of course I said yes. I never thought I would be this lucky. Or to have it all on video! 

The rest of the night was amazing. I could hardly keep myself from crying almost the entire evening. I felt like my heart was bursting I was so happy! We went to the best bar Bourbon and Branch( you need a password to even get in!), and ate some of the most delicious french food at Bistro Central Park. Perfect in my eyes. I feel so lucky sometimes. 

 ^^^ this was the spot!!

Just a few pictures from that day! 

As for resolutions this year, planning a wedding is my top priority. I takes a lot of work! I feel like it could almost be my job! Others include :

•Becoming more fit

•Cooking more

•Sew more

•and to try and be as happy as possible!

Happy New Year !

17. Holdays

I honestly can't believe it's been virtually a month since I last posted. This may be the longest break I've ever taken. Not that it matters. I've been having fun enjoying life ! That's what really matters, right?

Thanksgiving came and went, and now it's only 10 days till Christmas. 16 days till New Years Eve, and that also happens to be the day my Fiance proposed last year! Its hard to believe that any of this is even going on. Since we were always the couple who would never get married. I guess being together for 7 years changes things. ;) Thinking of doing a post looking back on that day before the end of the month. Not only to be able to try and live it a little again, but share it on the new blog as well!

I wanted to leave you guys with some pictures of what's been going on this past month since I'm short on words and time at the moment! Greg and I threw our first Holiday Party/Birthday Party! Went To San Fransisco for 2 concerts, and got our Christmas Tree! Add work and that was our month in a nut shell! Sorry for the cheap Instagram photo's, but my phone is always the best means of documentation since its always on me.

16. If the shoe fits

I'm not sure what all of you think about knockoffs out there... but being a girl on a HUGE budget, I'm down.  I recently came across a site called GoJane. I'm going to be honest and say that the clothes are more a long the lines of Wet Seal/Contempo Casuals kind of thing. On the other hand, most of the shoes are awesome. Awesome as in I can finally get myself a pair of 'Litas'. Probably the closest I will get while planning a wedding and figuring out how to get back into school when that's over! So for a girl like me, these are beyond perfect. Looking forward to maybe adding a pair of suede ones to these so my cute shoes don't get lonely. ;)Maybe I'll get a few pairs of cute socks to throw on during these cold Winter type days we have been having around my parts of California. Brrrrrr.

15. In My Baby's Arms...

Sometimes you have to let the songs do all the talking.... or blogging in this case. I know I will never ever ever be alone... 

This song goes out to the best man I know...

My Fiance.

14. 10 Months

Well, I can't say I've been doing a great job at blogging! Nothing wrong with that. Usually means I have been enjoying my life instead of filling it with internet time!

Speaking of time, its exactly 10 months away from my WEDDING! Those are words I never thought I would type, speak or write down. Ever! Needless to say I am getting more excited each day.. and more nervous! In a good way. Planning is quiet at the moment. Hopefully I can stock pile all my energy and save it for when things start to really get crazy around March! I'm guessing sleep will no longer be in the cards about 6 months out. I get a little to anxious in any exciting situation. This being my wedding, I'm sure my ever present anxiety will be in overdrive! 

The other day I finally treated myself to a 'real' haircut! I say 'real' because for the last  years I have been cutting my own hair. Not exactly ideal. Luckily, it never look horrible. Needless to say it was great going to a salon and being pampered a tad. Doesn't hurt that my hair is finally looking healthy and has more than one layer!

And a quick pic of my hair! 

P.S. Thanks again to everyone who helped vote in the contest.We didn't win... but there was a lot of effort put in by a lot of people! Thanks Again!
