My New Baby! =)

So, Caleb and I were registering at a big-box store which shall remain nameless, and I was considering registering for a printer, since mine is on the fritz and I'm pretty sure it was free, about four years ago. As I was trying to figure out which one would be the best in the trade-off between price and quality, Caleb found this Canon that was on sale for $30 and came with all this extra stuff! IT WORKS LIKE MAGIC! I am so excited. SO excited. I cannot even tell you! So suffice it to say, our DIY invites are going to be GORGEOUS, not just good-looking!!!

Door Monograms

Um, HOW CUTE ARE THESE???

Love it! So easy too - just buy the initials at a crafts store and paint them, attach a ribbon, and voila! Trying to figure out how these could be incorporated for us...

Happy New Year!

Sorry I've been so bad about posting lately... seems like I say that all the time. Oh well, I'm here now!

I having been mulling this over for a few days now, and I'm really excited about the new year! Sad to see '08 go though, it was great!

A {brief} recap of '08:
  • WE GOT ENGAGED!
  • Meredith began student teaching
  • Caleb got his awesome new job
  • We started planning a wedding, but more importantly, our life together!!!

A {brief} teaser for '09:

  • WE WILL GET MARRIED!!! (in July)
  • Meredith will finish her student teaching and graduate in May
  • Meredith will have to make a decision about a job (yikes!)
  • Caleb will possibly take the LSAT sometime this year

I could not be more excited to be done with school and get married. There is so much that comes with being married that I cannot wait for!!! Getting our own place and not having roommates or their laundry, dishes, trash, etc. Kissing each other goodnight every night and good morning first thing every morning. Getting groceries together instead of splitting it all the time! Its all those little things that I never want to take for granted; I want to always appreciate that I can lay my head down next to his at night.

Also, can I even tell you how excited I am to GRADUATE? I cannot wait for the day when I don't have to worry about writing papers or doing research or or reading textbooks or writing up formal lesson plans.

It's gonna be a great year. Stay tuned.
