The Wooden Anniversary

Our 5th anniversary seemed like a big mile marker so we wanted to do something big to celebrate. For our first anniversary we got a dog, so we had to top that for sure. I consulted the traditional wedding gift list and it cited "wood" as the appropriate gift for 5 years. Wood? I don't see Chris excited about me buying an indoor tree as the last one was left with Dad when we moved to Florida along with my childhood cat. An outdoor tree wouldn't go over well with our HOA.....what's a girl to do? So you go all out or go home.................we bought a house! I waited to post this today as we finally closed on it this afternoon. It's exciting and scary as we are now officially responsible adults (I don't care, I still LOVE the Disney Channel). :) Chris' dad and his wife are here helping us fix up the house so I'll post pics once it's all fabulous.

The Big 05!

This is a week late, but I've always been a little bit late to life in general. Unless you want to take the stance that I am a princess and to quote the movie Princess Diaries, "A queen is never late. Everyone else is simply early." Not sure if I can use that excuse at work, but we'll see when the time comes.

Anyway, back on task, last week was Chris and my 5th Wedding Anniversary. So I thought I would do a then and now shot along with some fun wedding facts you never knew!
1. I absolutely HATE winter more than anything, but we were having a hard time finding a time when Chris was in town from golf tournaments, my dad wasn't out consulting, and Chris' family could come from Canada so we picked March 21 which happens to be the first day of Spring. While it wasn't super springy in Utah yet, it was officially NOT winter.

2. Our wedding rings both have cool stories. I never wanted a wedding band since I have such small fingers (for the record- really hard to find gloves without Hannah Montana on them now- glad I live in Florida), but I didn't want the same ring that everyone else had. So Chris picked a ring out all by himself and even convinced my parents to use a diamond from my great-grandmother in the ring so it is very special to me.
Chris on the other hand did not want a ring at all. This of course did not go over very well. I finally found a "hammered" titanium (for the record- this metal truly is indestructible! I can't even begin to tell you what all that poor ring has been through) ring that looks like dimples on a golf ball.

3. Chris was over an hour late. Yep. For any single guy readers out there, this is not a good rule to go by. I never thought he stood my up, but I was a little worried he was lying in a ditch somewhere (insert dramatic sigh here). I will give you all 3 guesses where he was and the first 2 don't count. You guessed it! Golfing! But he got there and to this day refuses to wear a watch. It's okay, he's pretty.

Jenna's Jeans Cake

My friend Jenna from work decided to take another job and move to Vegas to be closer to her sister. So we had her going away party the other night and of course I wanted to make the cake. Now, Jillian and I were wracking our brains trying to figure out what to make this cake out of as Jenna loves to shop. We toyed with the idea of a credit card, a Prada purse (while this is a challenge I might want to undertake one day, I was not up for it this weekend), and other things, we finally thought, what does she own more than anything? The girl must own close to 70 pairs of jeans. So she got a jeans cake.

We will miss her, but she promises to keep in touch and is already planning on coming back to visit this summer.

What has Chris been up to?

You can also find this on You Tube! Chris shot and edited this video himself, so I'm a little biased when I say I'm proud!

Me in Pony Form...

This past Monday I was able to start my new position at the Village in Development (fundraising, corporate alliances, etc). And would you believe that one of the accounts I am supposed to work on is My Little Pony?!? I remember my cousin Elisa and I playing with these like crazy when we were little. Well, believe it or not, as part of my job (you are about to feel really bad for me) I had to attend the My Little Pony Live! stage show and then escort Pinkie Pie herself at the Village during our Candy Land party. During the show, she even sang a song called "Think Pink" which is honestly the only way I know how to think!

An all new height of laziness...


Did you notice the rollerblades?

For Sale!

Sorry to blog readers, if there are any left as I am SUCH A FREAKING SLACKER! Things have been busy for us with house hunting and parental visits. So we are still here, but just haven't been blogging. :)

As we are trying to find a house, our townhouse is also for sale. That has been a huge undertaking. But if anyone knows anyone or if you are looking for a 2/2 townhouse for sale in Orlando, I can help!
