2012 is off to a great start

The Mister and I are adopting a mini goldendoodle, and I'm beyond thrilled!  Every year since I was a little girl, I'd ask Santa for a puppy for Christmas.  As a grown up that's the one thing that's always remained on my list.  Albeit it's slipped from the no. 1 spot to further down the list, as I realized the responsibility of walking, housebreaking, and picking up after it, would all fall on me.  But yesterday the mister and I became our own Santa and adopted this little amazing fur ball, meet Parker!!  We get to pick him up in 6 weeks, which trust me, feels like a life time away.  Beyond excited to start this chapter in our lives and it's a fantastic start to 2012!

Other fabulous things I'm looking forward to in 2012!
~ 7 weddings (4 friends, 2 family, and 1 coordinated by the{little}details)
~ 1 engagement
~ 3 bachelorette parties
~ celebrating 3 yrs of marriage
~ celebrating my 30th birthday
~ arrival of 2 babies that we know about 

This Week I Believe In...

 .... preparation.  Stamping, cutting, and gluing for the mister's birthday.  Admittedly this party might be more for me, woops.
.... scales. Especially when it tells me I've lost 7 lbs :)
.... addiction.  In the form of Crystal Light lemon aid water.  Is it sad that I only want water with a Crystal Light packet in it?
.... giving.  Putting together a DIY 'Congrats, your engaged!' package for 2 lovlies. Because being engaged is the best part
.... walking.  Late night walks through our rain soaked neighborhood always seem to yield the best ideas and hand holding, swoon.
.... drinking.  Finally ending my month long detox this weekend, just in time for the Mister's birthday celebration.  What are the odds that i'll be drunk off of a beer or a glass of SkinnyGirl Margarita?

Happy Friday

It's almost the weekend, although it looks like it'll be a rainy weekend (perfect for cleaning out the closet and a Harry Potter movie date).  A few things I've been crushing on this week...

So glad this TV show is back, and the Mister loves it too, although I presume not for the same reason as I do {via}
