5 months til "I do"

Five.

That's how many months are left until the day.

When I get a HUSBAND.

And a new last name.

And more family.

As of January 1, 2013, I can finally say Matt & I are getting married THIS. YEAR. 

About time, right? haha. I remember January 1, 2012 telling mom we were getting married NEXT year...seems so long ago now!

So, you can betcha that on the eighth of every month, between now and June, I'll be reminding anyone who reads my blog that we're another month closer!!

Since today we are five months away from getting married, I'm going to share Five Facts about Matt & Me!

1. We went to five (hmm...5...coincidence?) high school dances together. Prom 2007, Homecoming 2007, Prom 2008, Homecoming 2008, and Prom 2009.

2. We are both Greek. haha.  If you know Matt, you probably know he's in Phi Mu Delta, a social fraternity at Longwood.  Since freshman year, I've also been in a Greek organization - Phi Epsilon Kappa, the honors fraternity for my major.

Thank you, Lindsey, for this picture!! :)

3. We're both pretty competitive.  Yep, even me.  You just don't even know! I'm so glad that Jordan got this shot of us during Color Wars 2011, because it just goes to show we were definitely going to make sure that the other was wearing our class color by the time it was over..

4. We've apparently always loved the Ruffner stairs at Longwood...I don't hate it--it makes for great pictures ;)

thank you Lindsey for the pic on the left, and Jesse for the pic on the right.

 

5. We're on the same volleyball team for church, and we're now typically a lot more aware of where the other is during a game, unlike in this picture last Spring. haha.

thank you Lindsey Perotti for this pic! :)

Christmas Trees

You didn't really think I was done talking about Christmas, did you??

So, here's that post that you were supposed to get last Thursday, but we were interrupted by Fun Run. haha.  Matt continues giving me a hard time about how much I play ;) and also sent me my stats on how many games I've played, how many kills, how many suicides...haha.  (No, it's not really as violet as it sounds!)

I've been wanting to share some pictures of our Christmas trees, since we put up so many! (And one didn't even get put up this year....it usually makes an appearance like every other year.)

I could honestly probably take pictures allll day of Christmas trees and the ornaments & lights.  It's just so pretty! I especially loved colored lights :)

So, here ya go...pictures of our trees, in the following order:

Pin It Friday : New Years Quotes

Last February I started doing Pin It Friday every week, or as close to every week as I could.  Each Friday, I would pick five pins from 5 different boards on my Pinterest account and shared them on my blog.  I tried to vary which boards I chose from to keep everything different, but that didn't always happen. 

To not feel like I'm not keeping up with Pin It Friday this year, I still want to do it, but I'm going to change it up a little bit.
