bridesmaids dresses...check! and my ladies look amazing...such awesome dresses to fit each person's individual personality/style.
My dress is finally here!!! I've been waiting for it since February. Trying to get a girls day together with mom and sister face to see/fit my dress and go shop!
**HOPEFULLY** sending the the STDs this week. So keep on the lookout for those.
After today's 12 hour shift (7 more hrs to go!) I have 2 days off, then a 12hr and 8hr, then 4 days off! Which includes Tahoe for a wedding and hiking for Tiff's bday. Can't wait to have some days off and to get away.

It's been so long since I've posted something that I had to look back at my blog and see when I wrote and what I wrote about. ha.
Obviously we are in the new house now. It's still crazy to believe that I am a homeOWNER. It's been so much fun slowly getting the place together, adding new furniture. When you drop a downpayment, it's tough to completely furnish your place the way you want to. But we're getting there. We brought Kee's pitbull, Rosie, to the house a few weeks ago and her and Nilo are getting along well. The commute from here to work isn't bad either. I actually enjoy the drive sometimes because it's the only hour and (at the most) 30 mins that I get completely to myself do think, sing, or just enjoy the silence.
Work is going well. Still on day shifts since February and loving it. I definitely like the overall vibe on days better. People are awake, a little more upbeat, which totally makes me feel like a normal person. Plus some of my favorites are on days, so it's awesome to be able to work with them. I ALWAYS look forward to our Friday margarita nights after a hectic day of work.
Wedding planning is going well. We booked our photographer. Her name is Brittany Dewester and is a friend of my co-worker. As soon as I met her, I felt so at ease and felt like I was talking to a good friend. We decided what better person to capture our most intimate and special moments of our day than someone we felt extremely comfortable with. We booked our DJ, Jeff of Amos Productions. Fun, energetic wedding specialist. I am all about having a big dancy party and he will deliver that. YES!
Had a meeting with a florist on Monday. Shoooooot...flowers are expensive! I want to stick with my vision, but I think I may need to reel myself back in and do some trimming. I am meeting with another florist just to compare, we we'll see what we come up with and hopefully will book that this month.
Cake appointment is on May 15th. CAN'T WAIT FOR THAT! The food tasting we did back a while back was sooooo fun, so I can't imagine how fun cake will be! Hopefully they'll be able to do the cake design that I want. Then after eating cake I get to head to SF for Bay to Breakers with the girls. This should be interesting. ha.
June will be pretty busy as well. Dress shopping on June 19th! Still trying to figure out exactly what look we will go for. Just know the dresses will be brown. Another engagement photo shoot will be done in June. Not to mention A's vs Giants on the 11th followed by Plate to Plate 5k on the 12th. And then a wedding in Tahoe the 25-27th. I'm tired just thinking of this.
Side note: So so so happy I got to see Mary & Caroline last week. Thanks for driving out, seeing the house, my wonderful gifts, and for just being you. Love you both times infinity.

Picked up the keys yesterday! Starting moving whatever I could fit into my car. Little Nilo loooooves the house...especially the stairs! It was so nice....Kee and I laying on the family room floor in front of the fire. Still can't believe we are homeowners.
So I'm at work today, while the boys do all the moving. Ha. Gonna spend the night in the house tonight and drive to work tomorrow. Gotta get used to it and might as well start now.
Can't wait to have everyone over! =)

House Update!
We signed our escrow documents yesterday so yes it is officially...Keenan and I are homeowners. The whole deal closes tomorrow. Plus, the bank ended up covering all of our closing costs, so the final costs needed were only the balance of our downpayment! We were supposed to pick up our keys today, but are instead picking them up Friday evening. Sooo excited!
Kee and I started packing up the condo today. It's amazing how much stuff I've accumulated in the little over 4 years I've been living here. Besides my parents house, this has been the place I've lived the longest after moving out of their house when I was 18. It's kind of sad in a way, but the whole thing is very exciting. Can't wait to build our little love nest!
AAAANNND Kee and I got a puppy on Saturday. His name is Nilo, and no not like "KNEE-LOW" b/c he's so small and comes up to your knees (that's for my buddy Wes haha). He's so precious. He's a 3 month Lhasa Apso mix, has the best personality, and is a goofball. We love him so much already and can't wait to bring him to our house and start our little family! =)

Talked to the realtor last night. Estimated date of closing...first or second week of March. Didn't think it was going to be that quick! Kee and I are soo excited. Everyone MUST come to our house as soon as we get settled. Our little nest of love is soo cute.
I BOUGHT MY WEDDING DRESS TODAY! It was the second one I tried on. I tried on 5 more after it but they just didn't compare. I'm adding an ivory crystal belt, maybe a crystal headband, chunky earrings, a chunky bracelet, and maybe a veil. I can't wait for the BMs to see it come all together at the final fitting. I absolutely heart this dress. Momma and sister cried. haha
Funny convo:
ME: So what will be my something old?
Mom: You. You're old.
ME: Thanks. How about something borrowed?
Mom: You can borrow my underwear.
ME: Eww.
We found the BM dresses and my mom's dress too. Gotta love Trudys!

Just got informed last night that the bank approved our short sale offer! OMG does this mean that Kee and I are homeowners?! SOOO stoked. We are now getting all the loan/downpayment stuff taken care of. Also need to find a contractor to inspect the house. This is nuts. We could potentially be in our new home by March/April. So thrilled.
I'm feeling quite ill this morning. Good thing Car didn't partake in the patron with me and Ashley. Patron + Pizza = all bad. Mare, I cannot wait until you are home to join us.
Going wedding dress shopping on Saturday with mom and Joc. Exciiiited. I'm going to try on the dress I decided on before, but definitely want to try on others. You never know. And Joc and I are going to see if they have the BM dresses that I like from JLM Couture. Gorgeous dresses. If I like them in real life, I will send them out to the rest of the BMs to look at.
Speaking of weddings, Joc is the best MOH anyone could ask for. She has the fab idea for all of the bridal party and some close gfs to take a pole dancing class in a couple months as a bridal activity. I've already let everyone know and they love love love the idea. Woooooo. And we are thinking Vegas for a bachlorette? Watch out now!
Mare & Car, if you two have any other fun ideas, let me know! <3
