more fotos!

sorry. . . i'm writing a lot at work and at home for wedding stuff, so i'm a little drained and/or blocked. and i still haven't done any more new year's resolutiony things or anything. or photos of christmas presents. okokOK! sorry!

anyway, for some viewing pleasure:

this is william and i dancing at our friend em and ben's wedding:


this is when it started to kick in that we were engaged:


here too:


RETRO TIME: here's a christmas picture, in keeping with the season. it's my mom and me, and my uncle jim, who dressed up like santa one year at my grandma's. as a child i was unnecessarily terrifed of jim and would hide under the kitchen table if he was at my grandma's. but. . . here he's santa, so we're friends. (I wrote a story about this for a newspaper I worked for a few years ago).

engageaversary

today marks the day we got engaged in hawaii! we have already been engaged a year. it's actually a little hard to believe, but also very cool. or v. cool as i have been tending to say lately.
lots of stuff rocking and rolling over here so forgive the short post. i have a bachelorette to pull off on saturday and a shower and snow emergencies to dance around. . .not to mention a headache.
lastly, i have to mention the six degrees of separation to the mall shooting in omaha yesterday--william's aunt works in the store and was there when it happened. she hid in a dressing room. we have been thinking about her and that awful situation.
that's a lot of facts and not a lot of writing, but i must run.
happy engageaversary to us!
