what's up

Cello blog world -- haven't updated in awhile! I keep going back and forth of whether or not I want to continue doing this, but I guess I'll just keep it and enter posts sporadically... here goes:

1. My sister is in SPAIN!! Studying abroad for the semester in Sevilla, Kansas City's "sister" city. I am so proud of her, she went all by herself...something I could probably never, ever do. Her blog is www.amymccue.blogspot.com - and she's doing a great job of keeping us uncultured folk, well, cultured. ...AND....drumroll...my mom and I are going to visit her March 26-April 3!! SO so excited. We're definitely hitting up Sevilla and Barcelona, and might make a quick stop in Malaga as well. Can't say enough about how stoked I am. 

2. Taylor and I went to the Super Bowl! Our team won! Nuff said. 

3. Semester is well under way, taking a class called "Gender and Justice" and am unable to watch a commercial without assessing how it's reinforcing gender stereotypes in our culture. yikes.

4. We sent out our Save the Dates!! It was quite the process to figure out how to get those puppies lookin right, but I'm really pleased. It's all starting!! Invitations are on the docket right now, as well as just generally working on consolidating my overall wedding vision into something more cohesive. While I do not love dealing with the stress of narrowing down 2million vendors to one, nor the stress of THE BUDGET and the robbery the entire industry is able to commit, I do love planning this wedding. I cannot wait for July 23. It still doesn't seem real. But it's been a super positive experience, I have found some wonderful vendors, and it's all just WAY too much up my alley. In almost every meeting I go to I am asked why exactly I am in law school and not a wedding planner. I'm sure a lot of brides get that though. I don't think it's that hard to be super excited about the kick ass party you're planning.

5. Jillian Michaels is currently "shredding" my bod. Ha. Kinda. Been doing this for about 4 weeks (skipping a few days here and there)....and I feel super strong, and see a huge difference. Will let ya know after 30 days whether or not "shredded" is the word that comes to mind.

...until next time.
