B-E-A-Utiful!

The weather has been unseasonably wonderful! No rain, just sunshine and highs in the 70s! I feel so motivated to get stuff done around the apartment! It's also pretty fortunate that the weather got really nice after daylight savings time so everyone has an extra hour of light at the end of the work day in which to enjoy being outside! It just feels like everyone is in a better mood because of the nice weather. Since Pittsburgh isn't Wisconsin, I'm assuming that it isn't going to snow one more time, like it would in Wisconsin (ie the years where there was snow at Prom in April and when it snowed at UMD in May).

Taxes

I filed my taxes tonight:) It's always a satisfying feeling! I'm thankful my dad taught me how to do my taxes when I had my first job. Filing only one W-2 is MUCH easier than filing six (like I did this year)!

I can't believe that it's already February 20th!! This month is flying by! March and April are already pretty busy, we're going home to EC in May and then summer camp starts! I can't believe we're getting married in a little over five months!!

Invitations

Today I ordered our wedding invitations! July 28 is coming up so fast! I know we can get everything done but once summer camps starts I will have significantly less time to work on stuff:)

Speaking of weddings, last weekend I went home to Minnesota and went wedding dress shopping with my lovely friend Meg! She found THE dress and looks absolutely gorgeous! I'm so thankful to have been part of her shopping trip and to stand up with her at her wedding in September!

Oddly enough Matthew is going to Minnesota this weekend to work with Adam on some stuff for Wayne&Layne. People ask me if we ever fly together and the answer is usually not. If we do travel together it's usually in the car and usually when we go home to Wisconsin:)

This weekend I'm planning on doing my taxes, cleaning the apartment and getting stuff done for the Y and our upcoming STARS visit:) Should hopefully be a productive weekend!

Hope Valentine's Day was full of friends, family and loved ones:) Mine sure was!

Oh, Minnesota

How I miss thee and your accents! I also miss a lot of the things they're talking about in "Shit people from Minnesota Say". Thankfully, I'll be back in Minnesota for a few days in February! I can't wait!

Emily's visit

Emily's visit was, by far, the best thing that has happened in 2012! She was here for 3.5 days and I loved every minute of it!

She's awesome!
