a bunch of weddings, a new couch, and some other stuff...

Ok - so I officially win the worst blogger EVER award! I have been super busy lately with weddings, work, soccer and meetings and have totally neglected the blog!! However, I have been updating my Kimberly Conners Events blog so check that out if you want to see what I have been up to lately in the wedding world. Besides the wedding stuff, I have been slowly working on getting my apartment ready for the holidays coming up...and I don't mean decorations.

For startersm, we FINALLY ordered our new couch!!! We have been in dire need of a new couch ever since our adorable pain in the ass boston terrier, Charlee completely destroyed ours! I must admit...when I first walked in the door and saw that she had chewed through the cushion and base of the couch, I yelled "Bad Girl!!!" and sent her to a "time out" in her crate (which lasted about 2 seconds because I felt so bad for yelling at her - I know, I know...bad mommy). But after looking on the bright side, I realized I should be thanking her because she just gave me an excuse to buy a new couch. Ok, so maybe I didn't need a good reason to spend an entire paycheck on a new piece of furniture, but my husband sure did. He didn't quite take my side when I made several previous attempts to say "You know what would really compliment those pillows I just bought is a brand new grey couch!", or "You know how we always want to lay next to each other while watching a movie, but we can't because this couch sucks! We should buy a new one!?!"

It was a little easier to say "So you know how your dog (of course it's his dog when she does something wrong) chewed up our couch and now it looks like it belongs in a frat house? Maybe its time to buy a new one?" Even though I had to say that every day for 2 weeks straight, he finally agreed! So we ordered our new couch and I can hardly wait until it's gets delivered!!

We also got our new headboard for our bed delivered a few weeks ago and I'm so happy with how it looks! Our bedroom is almost finished! As soon as our apartment looks somewhat close to how I picture it looking, I will post some pics.

On a happy note, I am getting busier and busier with my wedding coordinating business and have 5 weddings booked for next year so far! I'm so excited to see how my business will continue to grow over the next few years and hope that it will one day be a full time job! I am having so much fun with all my clients and I'm also developing some great friendships with some of the vendors in the wedding industry.

As for my better half - Andrew's job continues to be a struggle. Mainly for me....The drive to El Segundo is just ridiculous and takes up so much of his week that it's hard to have dinner together or do anything at night! On top of that, my patience has been more than tested with the promotion issue. He works his butt off and still awaits the much deserved promotion to a store manager. I know it will happen eventually, but I just wish it would happen sooner than later! So Mr. Dick (actually his name is Mr. Stack) if you just so happen to follow my blog, PLEASE promote my husband already!!

On a seperate note - With Thanksgiving coming up, I am reminded of just how blessed I am to be married to such an amazing guy and to have the best friends and family a girl could ask for! I also continue to be grateful for my good health and my job. I am looking forward to the upcoming holiday festivities and spending time with everyone I love the most! I am also really looking forward to the return of the Sola kiddos and my second husband, Kristy! I cant wait to see how much the kids have grown in the past 4 months.

In the mean time, I will try to get better about posting on this blog more often so that all two of you who read this, have something new to look at! :)
