But things are really falling into place for sweet Emily's wedding in February. She has picked out our dresses, the church, the minister, the organist, the florist, the reception site. Almost everything. I am so excited for her!
We will be having her bachelorette party here in town, but doing it in style! We have rooms at a swanky hotel (thank goodness we have a friend that works there! ;)), nice dinners and plenty of time built in for bachelorette type shenanigans. It will be a welcome break from everything football related, so I am really looking forward to it.
I realize I haven't posted in a while, so some updates for you will be required:
1. The season ended with a loss to the no. 11 team in the country and while it was a blow out, we did score a touchdown! RZ has decreed that we never talk about that game again... I can't argue.
2. Savannah was great... for the 24 hours we got to stay and enjoy ourselves. Unfortunately, RZ's grandmother passed away while we were down there. Incredibly sad. So we came back on Sunday morning so he could head to Ohio on Monday.
3. Thanksgiving was incredibly uneventful. Quality time with MAC and the family. Lots of sleeping in, enjoyed every minute of it. Though I did miss RZ while he was away.
4. Recruiting is the devil and might be the death of me. I have been working every day for the past 3 weeks straight. Not kidding, up at 6:30 or 7, everyday. No weekends, Sunday afternoons are my only relief. Party planning and decorating are delightful, but I prefer to do it on my terms. The men in my life have no clue that formal arrangements of red roses would be completely inappropriate for a barbecue lunch with checkered picnic table cloths. Lord, help me.
5. The Nutcracker has swiftly become one of my favorite holiday traditions. Fluffy, Tater and I attended the ballet on Saturday night (I got out of a recruiting meal for one night!) and it was amazing. Second row seats are so close it is almost disconcerting. I have decided that professional ballet dancers' legs frighten me. They could seriously injure/ kill someone. Seriously. Moving on, we added a new part to the tradition though, a pre-ballet Melting Pot extravaganza. The first and last courses were obviously my favorites, a course of entirely bread and cheese and then stuff dipped in chocolate?? Okay, twist my arm, I'm in!
6. More parties than even I know what to do with. I love a good Christmas party, but sweet Mary, this is A LOT. I had to write up a calendar for SOME PEOPLE to be able to keep up... not even kidding.
7. Giant possibility I will be going to Greece and Italy this summer with some girlfriends. Like 99% happening. So stoked.
That's all I've got for now. You have been sufficiently caught up now. I know you feel better now! ;)
Best wishes and blessings,
B
P.S. I still want these for Christmas... just sayin...
