moving

so greg and i are moving to france. yes, the country. it's exciting and fun but mostly it's a lot of work. work getting our stuff there (it's currently on a shipping container somewhere in the ocean), getting our work visas (took a trip to chicago last week to do that), getting a bank account, getting an apartment.... i'm not complaining. i'm just ready to be there already.

awesomeness

someone asked me today if i had a masters degree and i said yes.... in awesomeness.

invites

invites are almost done! here's a sneak peek. i had nothing to do with the design, i just gave the thumbs up. i think they're cute!

i love puzzles

this past weekend we traveled up north because it wasn't cold enough in minneapolis. we went to cove point lodge in beaver bay, mn about a hour north of duluth. it was beyond freezing, it was frigid with temperatures down to -15. the inside of my freezer was warmer. enough complaining, the weekend was great. we had 12 people in 2 cabins and we played scrabble, rinky dinky do (dice game), crainium, chess, and i found my new love. puzzles. not cross word or suduku, but plain old 550 piece puzzles. i bet we worked on puzzles for 3 hours+. I can't wait to retire now, not only because i won't have to work any longer, but because i can devote my time to all things puzzles. oh, and maybe i'll learn how to cook when i'm retired too.

wedding planning

so wedding planning has been so fun. over christmas i went shopping with mom, holly and a bunch of family, including greg's mom and sister and found a dress! i told greg it's purple with pink polka dots.

my buns hurt

my workout buddy (gina) and i are working our little buns off. we're working out 6 days a week for 3 weeks and then treating ourselves to a massage. we're working out in the mornings which requires waking up at 5:35AM and getting ready for work at the gym. we're lunging, squatting, lifting, running, sweating, and in general being hot and tired. today was day 3, so only 15 more to go. it's hard to walk up stairs and sit down. ouch. ooooooh, poor me. my buns hurt.

we're engaged!

Greg and I got engaged on Sept 20th at Toast Wine Bar in Minneapolis! It was where we had our first date almost 2 years ago. It's a very exciting time for us! We haven't set a date yet, so just go ahead and reserve every weekend next year until we figure it out.
