I'm Baaaaaack

Sooo, shortly after my last post I lost my boyfriend and gained a fiance!!!! =D Then shortly after that I lost my car (in that it died *sadface*) and gained a new job!! So, yea. Lots going on this year. Wedding planning, adjusting to a new (very different!) job, and did I mention wedding planning and adjusting to that new job...?

Being a crafty, DIY kinda chica I of course want to hand-make EVERYTHING!! Though not completely realistic, I will be making A LOT of things in regards to my wedding. Starting with really crazy, intricate, handmade wedding invitations. A booklet that needs to be sewn into the pamphlet thingy and all the pages are handwritten. It looks kinda like this:

The first one was wicked easy to make! Times that by about 100... Yea. Thankfully we have a kick ass MOH (that's Maid of Honor for those of you not down with your wedding lingo) and Groomsman who came over and just showed that red cardstock who was boss! Woot! Next up will be centerpieces, then cupcakes, and all sorts of decor and other things inbetween. The next 3 months will be full on crazy pants!

My new jobby is as a group therapist in an inpatient setting. 8 hours a day. When I am done I am done. I don't take work home with me. I have a life outside of my job. I am able to relax and enjoy my nights and weekends. I am also on track to have my LMHC and ATR by Sept/Oct 2012... a few months later than I was hoping, but not that far off track. Phew.

That is more or less what I've been up to for the past 11 months. That and a shit ton of knitting! For now I am off to enjoy my air popped popcorn and Say Yes to the Dress. Here's to getting back on the blogging wagon...

(Also I'm a year and almost a half into my 30s and I'm still loving it.)
