in case anyone is still reading...

i'm still alive.
i know it's been insanely long since i last posted. i guess this is what happens when you start living life as an adult? everything you used to do seems to fall by the wayside.

anyhoo...
still working at the da's office. my boss unfortunately lost his reelection bid. FORTUNATELY for me, there's no talk of restructuring the office. yet.
so i'm still where i am, doing the same work.

paul's still chugging away at the research.

wedding planning's moving along beautifully. my save the date cards (fondly called std's in "the knot" world...) have gone out at this point, and i'm very excited about them. made them myself! took lots of hours and several papercuts, but i have to say, they look pretty darn good. (pat myself on the back)
now if the invitations turn out to look like that, i'll be happy.
veil's ordered and being made by an amazing woman. took engagement pics last weekend (i LOVE my photographers - they're so totally amazing people), and we're scheduled to do our tastings next month. honeymoon is booked, registry is done, and now i just have to sweat out the little details and stay sane until june!

i realized that i have a love-hate relationship with my wedding. one minute, i'm on a high... the next, i'm aggravated by all the work. i just want to get married. how is hardly an issue. but of course, since i AM having a wedding, now i'm obsessing over it. classic case of bridal insanity, i think.
but this weekend, i felt very calm about the whole thing. why? i'm getting married!!! and to someone who makes me all pitter-patter giddy goofy delirious happy. how lucky am i.

getting ready for christmas. that's always a challenge. i grew up in a family where christmas really wasn't that big of a deal. contrast with my new family. they go NUTS over christmas. i'm beginning to relish in the festivities, though. i helped trim the tree in lansdale over the weekend, and paul and i are getting to trim our very own christmas tree (our first one!). i'll have to take pictures and post them up once that's done.
we did hang a wreath on our door already. it's so festive, i'm loving it.

been sick for over a week. i'm so tired of it. my chest hurts from coughing, and i have to sit on a jury trial helping out tomorrow. hope i don't start on a coughing fit and annoy the jurors. that would be bad.
slept from 8pm to 2am, with every intention of STAY sleeping. my body didn't like that. hence, i'm up. in front of the computer.

okay... enough is enough. i'm rolling back into bed.
it's cold here alone. *brr*

ciao. let me know how y'alls are doing.
