Our x-mas was uneventful, nothing all that exciting. Went to the future in-laws for the weekend. Didn't get much for gifts.
We don't have big plans for new years. I think we are going to go out for a drink with Dana and Josh. Have a feeling that we may be home before midnight. Lame-o.
Lots going on here, just nothing I can share due to the readership of this, don't need the whole world knowing my family drama. :) No big plans for this weekend. Hoping to get some dress shopping in, errands ran, and cleaning done. Craig's dad is coming up to help put a chair rail up and I've just learned his mom may come too. That means getting nothing done for Laura and having to entertain. :( Think I may be a bad fiance/DIL and just do my own thing but am willing to bet that my guiltiness will kick in and I'll entertain. blah.

Identity crisis
I think WA is mistaking that it's MN. It took me 2 hrs to make my 30 minutes drive on thursday. Here is what my backyard looks like.
In other news, Dana and I went dress shopping yesterday. It was fun but I tried on sooooo many pretty dresses. I have it narrowed down to 2 that I really like I think. Problem is one is a cafe color (kinda a light brown/tan i guess?) and I'm not sure how it would look if I ordered it in white. The cafe is pretty but I think I kinda want a white wedding dress. The other is an ivory. It sucks, I kinda look better in the ivory than white but is that just the lights in these places and that it's winter and I'm pasty? Is it weird to have an off-white wedding dress? Do I risk ordering the white and it washing me out? AGHHHH! So many decisions. It sucks that my mom and amy can't get out here to help me pick one out.

Who Knew
Who knew that about 2" of snow would shut everything down! It happens every year but is still amazes me. I have 1 patient all morning! Normally I see 8. I did see something new though, thunder and lightening with snow. Pretty crazy.
Not much new going on. Craig's out of town last night and tonight. It's the first time I've been in the house alone for more than like 30 minutes since he's always there when I get home from work. Kinda nice but at the same time a little creepy being alone in a new big house.
This weekend I think I may drag Dana along for some dress shopping. I'm excited, it's my first time trying on a wedding dress. But with all the xmas goodies I've been eating at work I think I've gained an extra 5lbs! lol.
Otherwise I think we are just going to finish up some x-mas shopping, clean, and take it easy this weekend. Will probably go out to dinner since that seems to be a pretty regualr thing for us.

Turkey Day
Sorry for the lack of posts I've just been so busy between getting ready for the holidays, painting/moving, wedding planning, etc I feel like I have no time to breathe!
House is going well. We painted the family room (still needs another coat even though we've done 1 of primer and 2 paint and some touch ups), are currently working on the office (craig and his damn 2 tone room is making it a bitch) and the living/dining room, and trying to decide on a color for the kitchen and master. I know, I need to post pictures and I will one of these days. We are trying to sell craig's couch. It's a very nice couch it just doesn't go with what we have and he doesn't have a matching loveseat or chair either. Getting adjusted to living with another person, let alone a boy. I've been living alone since my last year at tech so it's a change.
Wedding planning is going ok. We found a spot we really like but neither or us cares for the food/beverage manager who we would have to work a lot with. You ask him a question and he gives you a totally round about answer! And I'm not convinced that you can really fit the 100+ people we anticipate on the balcony for the ceremony. He says that you can only after I say about 100 and then he says "yeah that should fit out here." When you look at the picture I count about 80 chairs and it looks like a tight fit. I'm ok with if we have over 100 some having to stand but I want at least though 100 sitting, and not on top of each other!
Thanksgiving was good. We went to the in-laws of course. His family is cool and the food was good but sometimes I just run out of things to say. They sit there and talk about people they know and I have no clue who they are talking about. The ladies sit in one room and talk so I go and watch football with the men but worry that I am viewed as anti-social then. I don't know them too well and only have so much to say. It's fine when craig is in the room but when he's not I lack conversation. Plus sleeping on the floor which leads to a sore back and tiredness doesn't help much...
This next weekend we have my work x-mas party on friday and his on saturday. I think we may skip mine as last year it was super long and extremely mind numbing. HIs should be fun excact the girls he works with always give me dirty looks.
I haven't gotten too far with xmas shopping, in fact I have bought nothing. Craig and I have decided to not exchange gifts as we have no money. I keep asking my mom and sister for ideas and they have given me nothing. At this point they are going to get nothing because I have 1 day a week I can mail things and there are only 2 of those days left so without suggestions I have nothing to buy. ;)
Anyhow, I'll try to post some pictures soon. My patient is here so I better get going.
