Entering the Blog-o-sphere...

So I've been wanting to start a blog for quite some time now... and today is the day I will make my first official post!  I am still trying to figure out how this website works and all, so bare with me :) 

Most of the posts will most likely involve one of 5 things... 1)  My hubby  2) our new puppy, Novi!  3) our new house!!  4) fashion+design  5) my obsession with wedding design.  2011 was a crazy year and a lot of new and wonderful things have happened.  
  • One of my childhood friends, Anne, got married in April! 
  • My friend Kelly and cousin Scott moved in together after renovating their home... it's pretty much the cutest house ever!
  • My sister, Jackie, and her hubby, Bart, had their firstborn, Teddy.  (first-time auntie over here!)
    • Justin and I are now referred to as... Auntie Em and Unkie J
  • One of my other friends, Katie, got engaged - yay! 
  • My friend Andrea finished PA school in Chicago and found a great job back in STL!
  • I married the best man I know, Justin, on October 7th!
    • Planning the wedding pretty much consumed my entire life for the entire year...!
  • I bought my first car ...and I really feel like a big girl now.
  • We adopted a cute Japanese Chin/Shih Tzu mix puppy and named her Novi.
  • My husband got a great new job in the same field that he is already in... he starts on Monday.
  • My friend Anne told me she is expecting her 2nd little one!!
  • Katie asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding - so excited :)
See!?  I told you it was an eventful year!  

...And 2012 has been no different thus far.  We just bought a new house... yes...  after 1.5 years of looking, we finally found one.  And who would've thought that it would be in the exact same subdivision I grew up in for 20-some years!?!  Yep, we are moving 5 houses down from my mom and pops.  Crazy!

Yep, I'm that dork that took a picture with my new car.


Novi-bear :)  She's the cutest.

Our house! ...needs some curb appeal, but we'll get there.
That's all for now... more to come!
