4 Months And Counting...

I can't believe how much time is flying by, and it is about to go even quicker with many details to sort out. This past weekend we picked out our cake design, ordered invitations & looked at tuxedos. Slowly things are starting to come together, but I'm very glad Reid and I decided to get things done a little at a time and in advanced. It is making the whole planning process not stressful (knock on wood).

We both have some adventures to look forward to this next weekend. Reid is heading to Chicago for an engi-nerd, I mean engineering conference while I'm heading to sunny southern California to visit a friend/bridesmaids.

What a boring post...but our lives are really just consumed with wedding planning right now!

Overall we both had a wonderful Christmas. We found plenty of time to spend with both of our families and even some time to visit my relatives in Texas! This is our best take of a Christmas photo...


Of the 7 years we have been dating, this is only our 3rd New Years Eve that we have spent together. We stayed in Manhattan, hung out with friends, and headed down to Aggieville to watch the Apple drop. Eve 6 was also there playing before the ringing in of the new year.

I think it is safe to say we are both very much looking forward to the year 2009. These first 6 months are going to me the most exciting none the less with an acceptance (cross our fingers) into law school, a wedding, and a big move. But just some highlights of 2008, Tara graduated from Kansas State with a degree in Mass Communications and found a job after 1 1/2 months of searching with a legal research company. We took a trip to Colorado to check out CU Law School which led to Reid narrowing down his school choices and after a very long process turned in his applications, and last but not least we bought our first car together!!


As for new year resolutions, I told Reid that he should be more willing to let me help out in the kitchen. So we woke up New Year's Day and made breakfast together. I got to cut the peppers and make the eggs all without Reids help...a major accomplishment!!


I hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year and best wishes for 2009.
