Keep track of our plans on the Tab above called “Our Wedding Website”

I am getting so excited! Lots of wedding planning happening these days. We have finalized a lot, although there is still a lot to do. We have the date set, the ceremony site, the reception site and the guest list done. Now we just need to get all the little things in order, and boy there are a lot of them! Last night I think I found the florist and the bakery…not that we had a ton to choose from as Crested Butte is pretty small, but judging from their websites they look really great. We’ve opted for cupcakes instead of the traditional wedding cake, I cant wait to go for a tasting! All that’s left is finding the caterer, figuring out the table décor, and the save the dates and invitations. The little things will come together as I work on them. I created this website on theknot.com for our details.

“I’ve spent $40,000 on shoes and I have no place to live?
I will literally be the old woman who lived in her shoes!”
~ Carrie Bradshaw

What girl doesn’t like a new pair of shoes? A few months ago my friend Angela told me about this sort-of “shoe of the month club”; Kim Kardashian’s  Shoedazzle.com.  I went home and researched and was instantly hooked.  I signed up on the spot and ever since I get a shiny new pair of shoes every month!

Every month I choose a pair of shoes from the website and they arrive in style:

So cute with a pair of leggings! My first pair were little black Chinese Laundry ballet flats and I have worn them to shreds; I’m addicted to flats now. There’s just something about a new pair of heels that just makes me so happy!

The Shoedazzle idea is just so smart.  Sign up and you will get a new shoe selection every month.  If you don’t want anything from your selection you can request new selections or skip that month and they wont charge you! They make it really easy too if you want to return your selection.

This is definitely going in the category of Cool Things…I’m addicted!

Captains Log Stardate 20100426:
starving…would kill for a burger.

We bought a new house!!! 83 south Clarkson Street Denver, CO 80209 is now our permanent address…

well by “we” I mean Chris, and by “new” I mean its new for us…but anyway!   has been a very exciting couple of weeks.  We aren’t completely moved in yet but the main things are where they fit in, things are still in boxes but I know after a couple more weekends we will be completely unpacked.

We already had a couple of friends over for drinks, and plan to have a big housewarming party soon.  Of course Chris’s first big buy for the house was a barbecue grill…so there are lots of cook outs in our future. Cody is loving his new freedom in his back yard, and I am loving not having to walk him every morning and night (no more poopie bags! yay) Lots of firsts: first lawn mowing, first welcoming gift from neighbors, first cook out on the grill, and soon to be first party (you are all invited!)

We had great success with our garage sale and made over $700 on all our old crap.  I couldn’t believe it! Lots of haggling, some interesting people showed up and ironically enough after two years of living there we finally met some of our neighbors…seriously? We met more neighbors at the new house in one weekend then we did in two years at the other one.  Its really nice being out of that house, hindsight is 20/20. Oh and for all those who were wondering- yes it is illegal to post yard sale signs on street signs- and no I didn’t get a ticket.  We were responsible white trash and took down all our signs after the sale was over.  So there.

A few guys that Chris knows from rugby showed up to help with the heavy lifting, I don’t know what we would have done without them. so Thanks Rugby guys! I owe you one! We were done moving things over by early afternoon, it was great. We had our first candle lit dinner in the house that night- wine and Pizza on paper plates of course!

Its a cute little neighborhood, lots of older houses like ours, a few small apartment buildings and a couple local restaurants. I am even closer to work than I was before, its within walking distance even.  We are still close to the park so we can visit whenever we want. (I am already missing the view from the kitchen of the lake though)

Its been great so far, its only been two weeks and I still dont think it has dawned on Chris that he OWNS this.  All of this is his.  Its a really nice feeling!

You can see the yard sale and moving pictures here.
