367 days...

I have ordered a few paper samples from a paper company because I'm hoping to have my Save-The-Dates ready to go soon.  At first, I thought that something close to a year in advance would be too soon, but I'm excited to get the word out!  I'm also excited to get these creative juices flowing, and I also realize that a DIY wedding also requires a more forgiving time table.

I've also decided to crack down on watching what I eat and being an all-around healthier person.  In January of 2008, I joined Weight Watchers and dropped a total of 27 lbs. within 7 months.  Unfortunately, when you take 1-part of moving in friends, mixed in with 2-parts of a busy schedule and you sprinkle some old habits on top of that and allow to simmer, you get 7 pounds that make their way back.  Since signing up for the program, I've definitely been making better choices and I'm certainly better off than I was in December 2007 but it would be nice to make more progress. 

I think that's all for now!  We're quickly approaching that one-year mark!

more inspiration strikes:




I'm looking at more mid-century roadtrip items and the photos, images and subsequent ideas have really started to flow.   I was doing a little research on teardrop campers in relation to our possible Roadtrip Honeymoon and I was reunited with my love, the Airstream Trailer.

This was the first weekend in a while where we didn't have any venue appointments or meetings.  Of course, I've still got wedding planning on the brain, but some much needed playtime was in order:

Alright, the photo is from last year but you get the point.  On Saturday, we had some quality Szczypkowski family time and then we spent some time at Disneyland with friends on Sunday and soaked in the Halloween spirit.  Do you realize that by next Halloween season, we're going to be married?! (eee!)

Before Disney time, we stopped by Home Depot so that I could pick up some paint chips and get crackin' on my idears.  With the inspiration still fresh and exciting, I figured that now would be the best time to tackle the minutia while I'm still fairly calm.  Here's to driving the roommates crazy!!  (I'm sorry Clair, Paul and Luis...mostly Paul. You brought this upon yourself for being Maid of Honor worthy!)
