Well well well, long time no see!

This is how it usually goes for me. I blog for a while, then I disappear, then I try again. I fell off the 365 wagon during April. April was ca-razy for me! Our families came down for Easter, work was insane, lots going on. Life in general has gotten a lil busy, and we're not even in the full swing of wedding stuff. I'm working on a better time management schedule for myself. 1 or 2 hours a week doing wedding stuff, 1 night a week editing photos and playing in lightroom, and then working on my hybrid assignments for SSD and the other crafty things I want to do. We'll see how it goes. I did pretty well last week, we'll see how this week goes. We're working 4-10's so we can take friday off to go to Jadyn's college graduation. That cuts into "my time" every night by 2 hours, but we'll see what happens.

Anyway, I figured a good old "From Our Blog to Yours" from SSD would be a good way to get back into the swing of things. So, here you go. My Star Wars name.

Your Star Wars Name Is Colbr Mabro

Your Star Wars Title Is Ydacho of Nadroj

What Is Your Star Wars Name and Title?

We're officially less than 5 months away from the wedding, which is NUUUUUUUTS!!! The bridesmaid dresses have arrived which is SUPER exciting. I need to call the bridal store and find out when my fittings will start, but they've had my dress and veil for a few weeks now. So all that is wonderful. Jordan's mom called last night, and there is potential for a problem with the hotel block we set up, so I need to take care of that this week. I'm working on a mock-up of the favors, and will be ordering the final pieces this week as well. I have half of the pieces of the invitations put together, which is awesome. They don't take long to put together, but I think it'll be easier if I put the different pieces together, and then put the entire invitation together. I just LOVE the invitations, I'm so happy with them.

I think that's enough for now. Hopefully tonight I'll get some more photos from the last few months edited and online so I can share. :)

Have a great day!

On a lighter note

I might as well get some Sweet Rewards points while I'm blogging :) Hi Meg! Love ya!

What Your These Fireworks Say About You

You are chaotic, inspired, and very creative. You're so creative, people don't really recognize your creativity. What's expressive for you sometimes looks like a mess. But you don't really care... you enjoy making your messes!

The Fireworks Test

And Mimi wanted to know about summer jobs :)
I worked at the Gap Outlet in the huge outlet mall in our town. I started off as just a puny sales associate, but one super busy saturday when the line was insane they threw me on register. I remember loving it because I got to ring next to my girlfriend Christie, and she taught me the ropes. I picked that up pretty quickly and within a few months they made me a lead cashier. That meant that on closing nights, I had to count out 14 registers. BY MYSELF! Helloooooo responsibility! I did that all through senior year of high school too. When I came back to work after my freshman year of college, I decided to work in merchandising (cuz, you know, why not). That meant working 6am-3pm 5 or 6 days a week. Getting up early was AWFUL, but I again got to work with Christie (I love that girl), and some other awesome people, including my boyfriend that summer, Jesse, lol. We had a LOT of fun there. We had a lot of not fun times there too, but overall I have nothing but good memories of my times there :)

Have a happy hump day :)

I heart Sweet Reward Points

And because I love them so much, here are the 4 blog posts for the month of June. Sorry Meg :p

5/30 - Dream Vacation
I want to travel the whole world, but realistically I doubt that'll be possible. Instead, we're hoping to go on a ridiculous honeymoon. We're all about traveling before we have kids and can't. We're hoping to take 2 weeks or so, and go to New Zealand and Australia. We want to get our dive certs so we can dive on the great barrier reef. I think that would be SO amazing. No idea yet if that'll even be possible, but hey, a girl can dream right? :)

6/5 - Nerd Score.
This should be good :p



6/12 - Summer Activities
I love going out to western MD and heading over to Jordan's family friends place. They have a house on Deep Creek Lake, and let us use the docks anytime we want. I get to tan, Jordan can play on the jet ski's, and Tiger gets to swim swim swim! If we're headed to NY, that means a trip to the Cohen's pool is usually in order. Everyone hangs out and talks, Don floats around in the chair with his cigar, we listen to the Yankee game, and then usually eat a TON! If we're staying home, we tend not to leave the house. We end up traveling so much throughout the year that staying home means just that. I scrap, Jordan plays his video games, we watch movies, we just chill and vege out. So relaxing. Hopefully we'll get some trees planted in the backyard soon and then I can get a hammock so I can relax and read in the shade. :)

6/19 - What your fridge says about you
Not very accurate I don't think, but still interesting :p

What Your Fridge Says About You

You like to be surrounded by things you love. You aren't exactly greedy, but you can be materialistic at times. You tend to be a fairly thrifty person. You splurge occasionally, but you're mostly a saver. You don't tend to be a very adventurous person, but you do surprise everyone now and then. You have a bit of a wild side. You try to be responsible, but you don't always succeed. Your heart is in the right place though. You are likely single - and spending many nights alone at home.

What Do the Contents of Your Refrigerator Say About You?

I think that is all. Maybe I'll get my 40% off after all! :)
