So I lied...

So I lied! Yeah, yeah, I said was going to rededicate myself to blogging but the second half of 2011 posed to be much busier than I anticipated. Between taking a few classes, work, wedding planning and LOTS of traveling it seems that I haven't had much time for anything else.

Happy New Year by the way! Although very cliche, I've made couple resolutions this year...
  1. Blog more - No promises though!
  2. Tone up for the wedding and maybe shed just a few pounds ;)
  3. Learn to crochet and/or knit. Something I've been wanting to do for awhile. In general I just want to be a bit craftier. From what I've gathered so far this is quite time consuming but also fun.
  4. Eat a little healthier and get familiar with my new juicer!!
It's 2012 and our wedding is about 10 months away!!! Ahhh!!!!!! Kris and I are getting married in the Chicago area in November. Wedding planning thus far has been lots of fun. Molly and I took a wedding planning class awhile back so I feel very equipped and excited to finally be planning my own! I look forward to all the events to come this year and hopefully seeing all my family and close friends on our big day!

You might be wondering how we are adjusting to our move to Columbia. Well, moving to Columbia has been fun, exciting and a learning experience for me. I've never really been "out of my element" before and I was truly interested to see how I would fair in a different place. Growing up and going to college in the Chicagoland area my entire life hasn't exactly exposed me to having to live far away from my family and friends. Although it is very difficult moving away from family and friends, I have to say that I don't regret moving at all. Kris and I have established a really great group of friends down here and Columbia surprisingly has lots to offer. I've always been a believer that situation is what you make it of it. Of course, I have my days where I miss my family and friends and miss being able to just hop in the car and drive over to see them. On the other hand, we have really made some great friendships down here and it's a home that Kris and I will always share. I'm sure that will be plenty ore about Columbia in posts to come...
