Halloween!!!

So here is a picture of our adorable pumpkin family.



I like that white one that looks like a pac man ghost and also the siamese twin pumpkins to the left of the big pumpkin. But of course, no one saw them but us because we didn't have ANY trick or treaters. Lame. So now we have a whole big basket of candy. Since I will probably eat the whole thing, I will bring it to the office instead.

Also, we got 2 new cars yesterday. Yes, I got rid of the Mini. Yes, it is sad. Everyone say a prayer for Daisy and hope she gets a nice new owner. I got a RAV4. Its shiny and has lots of nifty features (that even the Mini didn't have - like built in bluetooth). Justin got another Highlander. His is also shiny. We are both happy. Now I can fit things in my trunk, so that's pretty great. AND I can drive me and 3 whole other people (and a small child) around with me, though that is unlikely to happen.

Scott and Gina bought a house in West Philly, they move in this weekend. Justin and I are going to be moving things in my parents storage space with them. YAY stuff. And there is so much stuff in that storage space.

Ok, back to work...

This is the funniest thing I have seen in a while

Hi.

So, I've been bored at work today and I stumbled across this wonderful clip on YouTube.

The actual video is funny (and I actually feel bad for the model), but its the commentary that makes me giggle.

YOU MUST WATCH IT!

Now honestly...who put her in those shoes? and a watering can? Dumb.

Hey there!

So here's what's happened since I last posted.

Justin graduated from Med School. YAY!!! He's a real doctor now!

We got married the weekend after that. The wedding was lovely. Everything went exactly as we planned. It was pretty awesome...though it is a complete blur. And I had the bestest bridesmaids in the whole world!

We went to NYC for our honeymoon for 3 days. We hung out, saw Spamalot and Avenue Q, had some good dinners. It was great but WAY too short. Maybe we'll take another one in a few years.

The day we got back from our honeymoon we finished packing up our lives (and presents) and moved to Delaware. We have a nice townhouse and a bunch of room which is a nice step up from the apartment. Though I do miss Conshohocken a lot.

I went to the Bahamas for a business conference. I also managed to get a tan. We went to Atlantis - good family resort but it wasn't for me. If I had kids aged 6-12, it would have been pretty awesome. It was beyond expensive. Mind you, I have been a lot of places and I have never felt so ripped off for what I got ( Example: Buffet Breakfast that cost $27 per person. Yeah, I spent $27 for an english muffin and a bowl of grits. They were pretty good grits though). I went shopping there, too. Got 3 pairs of shoes. Mmmmm Versace and Ferragamo.

Justin is now in his internship year - working for Christiana Care. Think early seasons of Scrubs. He works a lot of hours.

I still have my same old job. Woo. I work in Exton, PA; Cherry Hill, NJ and home. Its a pretty lengthy commute for the few days a week I do go to the office. I personally prefer to work in comfy clothes - at home.

So Delaware has me bored out of my skull. There isn't a whole lot to do - nor do I seem to have a lot of time to do a whole lot. It would be nicer if Target and Bed, Bath & Beyond were closer. Oh well. I have started to cook a lot more, so thats good. This is primarily because Justin doesn't really like chains and the non-chains have been less than stellar. Though we did find a really good sushi place down the street.

So Tim is coming over tonight for a few days. Justin's (and Tim and Lauren's) parents (and Aunt Mel) went to Alaska for a cruise. We figured Tim should come hang out with us.

Funny story...I was on the phone with Danielle yesterday and she was telling me how her boyfriend Mike was going to Alaska for a week or so. I though it was a weird coincidence that they were going near the same time (the parents left 2 days before Danielle's boyfriend). Turns out they're all on the same cruise boat. How random is that? What are the odds?

I go to Colorado for a conference and a due diligence meeting. I go to Colorado Springs and Denver. Wooo Boring!!! It would be nice to see the lovliness of Colorado Springs but I doubt that is going to happen. At least not during daylight hours...

Oh! We got our wedding pictures back. This is one of my favorites...





Well thats all for now...I'm sure I'll be back in a few months!

A lot going on but not much to say

Hi.

Its been pretty busy for me lately. Work, wedding, moving, other crap...takes up a lot of time.

Justin got his internship in Delaware, so we're (more than likely) going to move to Delaware the week after the wedding. We're going to start packing shortly.

I had one of my bridal showers a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome, though I am not used to having that many people looking at me at once. We got lots of super gifts and it was really fun to see everyone outside of work.

We're sort of almost done with wedding stuff. I guess it never really ends until the day of the wedding, but we're getting there. Limos/tuxedos/flowers/programs/blah blah blah. Who would have thought it was so time consuming!

Anyway, work has been crazy. I have a lot of new responsibilities, which is good...and bad. I'm here a lot more then I used to be, which has been making the wedding planning/moving hard to figure out.

Well that's my update...nothing earth shattering to report and I doubt there will be any time soon.
