And that's because I decided it would be a good idea to get (another) dog, a house, host Christmas, and plan a wedding all during the holiday season.
Yeah, yeah. I know!
Needless to say, I think I've survived it all and come out on the other side realizing in 18 days I'll be married.
Let me fill you in on what's developed in wedding plans since we last spoke.
The plan for paying for the wedding took an unexpected turn and we found out we'd be paying for the whole thing ourselves.
Which, while super terrifying and unexpected, just meant we had to change a few details.
NBD.
(Shout out to my fiance who decided to be an engineer instead of an artist.)
Anyway, in the midst of wedding chaos we found a new addition to our family.
Cue Butterball, the worlds most precious, scraggly pup next to our Jackson.
We adore her, and even though we were fifth in line to get her...we still managed and brought her home right before Thanksgiving.
We quickly realized that our zoo was now too large to remaining in our cool-kid loft downtown and it was time to find somewhere with a yard and real people space.
Look at them. LOOK AT THEM.
The next day my brother showed up to spend Christmas with us, bringing along his beautiful lady and their ADORABLE PRECIOUS PRINCESS daughter.
We're basically BFF's already.
We saved the world from destruction.
Christmas was insane and wore us all out, and this past Sunday was the first moment we had to breathe since before Thanksgiving.
There was lots of napping.
In the quiet of our new, empty house it started hitting us that in less than a month we'd be married. In a house. With our little family.
It wasn't a panicked realization, it was more like a calm. Like it was all coming together and we'd be starting a new adventure that we (for once) were completely ready to embark on.
We're so ready for the next year, and for the rest of our lives.
Let's do this!
