Merry Christmas!

I know, I know, I said I would be better about blogging once this crazy semester is over but the truth is that even though my classes are over, nothing has slowed down! We had our christmas party the day after I finished finals and then I worked and ran around getting last minute gifts before our christmas festivities began!

Z & I have come to have several christmas traditions over the past couple years that I love so much. Christmas Eve morning we do our christmas together at home. This is the second year that Corinne has been involved and I love having her there with us that day! Christmas eve we go to Zak's parents for dinner and some fun family hang out time, then we spend the night there in the new pj's his parents get us every year! Christmas morning we open presents with them and then christmas night we head to my moms for dinner!

It's pretty crazy, especially this year since tomorrow (well, today actually) we are going to my grandma's in brea and then we are off for the night to SD to have dinner with my grandpa and then stay in a hotel on the beach and head to his uncle's house in SD for sunday christmas fun. McIntyre Style! haha And then monday morning it's back to work for me!

As you can see, things have been crazy busy and I hope to blog and post more pictures from all of our adventures once we are back to our normal daily schedules! For now I leave you with this picture of us today just leaving Z's parents on the way to my moms.



I can't believe this is our 5th Christmas together! Time seriously flies! I swear, they just keep getting better and better. I am a very lucky and blessed girl, if I do say so myself. <3

Happy Holidays Everyone!
Enjoy your families!

FOR ERIN:

At the request of my lovely friend Erin, I will update my blog. First let me apologize to the few of you who read this regularly (is there a few?!) I have been busier than a bee collecting honey lately because finals have been in full swing for like two weeks now. As I type this I am thinking in my head also about the research proposal I am almost done with that is due tomorrow that I should be working on but how I also wanted my dear friend to have something new and exciting to read at work tomorrow. (See how much I love you E?) Also at her request, this blog will be about the following one of three things: rings, weddings & cats. I was going to make it about all three but it is just too late and I have to be up too early. The next one will be better, don't you worry.


I cant remember where I got this picture from, so I hope no one tries to sue me for using it, but I love love love this bouquet! So simple and gorgeous. It feels rustic, yet sophisticated at the same time.


This dress is by Nicole Miller and it is my newest obsession. I would also like her body to go along with it, thank you.


I found this somewhere (wow, I really am bad at documentation) and obviously I had to steal it due to its complete appropriateness.

Wow, this post really isn't long, but made me feel so tired after!
I am off to bed now to finish up my work
and finally call it quits on this long ass semester tomorrow!!
Then I will be quickly getting ready for our Christmas party on friday night.
More posts & pictures to follow shortly!
