-these are a few of my favorite things-

1. Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes

Last night we got our first big snow! Last time the weather man promised white flakes, he missed it. But this time he was right on!

The girls all bundled up (despite the plague of sickness among us) and headed out to PLAY!
The roads were so icy and we knew that only meant one thing!---> Canceled Classes! and we were right :) No school today!

I laughed so hard last night when I heard someone say, "It just takes a little snow and all the Morons come out" It was not a just a few moments later when I heard "how was it?" "EPIC, I almost got a concussion!" "Sweet!" <---moron material I love to see people sledding, making snow angels, snowball fights and couples under lamp posts trying to hold on to the romance that snow so easily creates. Snow is definitely a community creator.
Some of the guys at our school announced that they were going to make hot chocolate for anyone that wanted some. My friends and I trekked across campus to get a hold of the chocolate gold. We stepped into a warm blazing fireplace and before we could take off our jackets and mittens, we were offered a hot cup of coco. I love snow days!

{weekend recap}

Future Hubby arrived earlier than expected on Friday afternoon to surprise me :)
*love when he does that*
He picked me up and we preceded to the hotel so he could check in. I helped him move his teacher stuff to the room (he thought he was going to get away with grading papers while I did wedding stuff...Not a chance!)
We decided on dinner and ended up a at little bistro in the town where I go to school in. It was nice and especially nice for him to be sitting across the table from me!

We went to the grocery store after dinner because I was DETERMINED to get the 100 calorie pack of Oreo Cakesters. Of course they were all out so I settled for the grasshopper (choco&mint) instead. We made our way back and tried to decide what to do first. We decided to address all of the Save-The-Dates...Never Imagined how overwhelming that could have been... but he was such a wonderful help. he stuffed and looked up addresses while my hand cramped from addressing all of the envelopes.
-we are pretty independent people, so of course we are doing all of this ourselves!-
FYI - my wishlist now includes a return label stamp for us to use in the future!
Its nice to say that the savethedates are sent!

Saturday we met with friends (actually my boss and her husband) for Breakfast. They have the most adorable child and it was so fun for us to be around young married people together.
We were honored that they would think of us.

Later that morning we made our way to town and picked up some pottery(happy birthday hGB!) and then went CAKE TASTING!
We had an appointment with The Bake Shoppe . A tiny 'hole in the wall' type place but excellent serive and a precious owner.
We decided on Almond flavor for the cake and buttercream icing with fondant ribbons around each layer.

Example of the look I am going for:Ours is a 4-tier that is very similar to this one.
So we are excited to have that decided and checked off the list.


Well sadly my dear Fiance had to leave to head back home, and what a coincidence that I would get sick. SO...I was sick on a saturday night and all day sunday and for the superbowl.

Lots of fun this weekend (minus the sickness) and got lots done!
I'm always glad to have him here :)

Happy Monday (my fav day this semester)!
