Enjoying a long weekend

We had a great long new years weekend. I was afraid I would be at work all night long on new years eve, but we actually got out at a decent time. So we got to go out and celebrate a little. We went downtown to a little irish bar in the arena district and met up with Liz, Dave, Ashley & Jesse. It was nice to get to hang out. We didn't stay out too late, we werer probably home around 1 or a little after. The next morning tony ran to the store and stocked up on snack for new years day. We had a lazy sit on the couch kind of day. We made pigs in a blanket together, and then hung out and ate breakfast and played with our new christmas presents (still). Around 4'o clock the OSU Rosebowl game came on and we made frozen pizza and watched the game. and then watched some movies. So basically all day was spent on the couch. Just a nice relaxing day!

Saturday we went out to my dads house, and hung out ate snacks and played catch phrase for a couple of hours. It started to get heated after a few rounds so we gave up eventually.  Then just visited for a little bit longer and then headed home. I was exhauseted for some reason and was in bed by 10.

We woke up sunday and had a bunch of plans to run around. Went to target (love it) and walked around for a while. Exchanged a sweater at old navy. And then had lunch at El Vaquero ( my fave). After lunch we decided to go to a movie and saw Avatar. I was a little skeptical, didn't think it would be my kind of movie and it was suppose to be 3 freaking hours! I ended up loving it though, I would even go see it again! All the hype was definantely right. it was in 3D, so we had to wear the 3D glasses the whole movie.  This has all gotten kind of rambling ... but it was a great weekend! I was so sad to see it over. That is all for now
PEACE OUT!!

These boots were made for walking.

I am seriously loving these boots. I saw a couple girls at work with them and loved them on. Yes I am guilty of being a follower in this instance. Oh well, they're cute and they're only $45 from Alloy! SERIOUSLY!

They also come in a chestnut brown and in leather whereas these are suede.

That is all, I had to get that off of my chest! :)

How time flies

I still remember celebrating the new yea of 2000. Prince's party like it's 1999! I was only 13, it's hard to believe how fast a whole 10 years can go. Obviously from 13 to 23 so much changes, too much to even recollect. The past year though was one of the most important of my life so far. I got to see one of my best friends get married to an awesome guy, and my dad remarried to a woman that I love. She treats us like we are her own! Of course I got married also. It was a stressfull year with all of the planning and it was a struggle just to make it to October. Honestly I wouldn't want to go back and do it again. hah. But that one day of 2009 was so worth it. The last 2 months of year after the wedding were hectic. Filled with holidays and family and catching up. As excited for the holidays as I was, I am happy that it's behind me and ready to begin the new year. There is so much I want to do this year that we weren't able to do last year because of trying to save money. So no better time then the new year to begin my list of "want to-do's" for 2010.

- Go tubing at mad river mountain
- play in the snow
- stay the weekend in a cabin
- go hiking
-go to a farmers market
- have people over for dinner
- visit ikea
- go canoeing
- go camping
- have a picnic
- take the dogs for more walks
- go to the zoo
- take a vacation

- go see more movies

- buy a house

- have a cookout

I am most looking most forward to summer, the long days and so much more to do! But that is all for now, I may come up with more stuff! We'll see, I have a whole year to figure it out! Hoping 2010 is a year of adventure and new experiences!

First Kiss of 2010!

Married Christmas

This year was Tony and I's first Christmas as a married couple. Not our first together, but first legit Christmas. It definantely felt different to me, I felt more like family to his family and he felt the same with mine. Christmas morning we kept waking up so finally we got up at 7:30. Went downstairs and went through our stockings.

We opened all of our presents together. I got a new laptop from Tony (which I'm on right now!) And I got him a ps3. We also got a few others smaller things. I got some boots and a bumpit (pretty exciting). A makeup kit thing, I got him 2 sweaters a couple games and a new blu ray movie for the ps3. 

When we were all done with our little Christmas we got ready to head over to spend some time with Tony's family. We had a surprise Christmas get together at his Aunt and Uncles house. We all made the food and everything turned out great! We ate and spent time together and it was great! It was nice to see everyone, we hadn't gotten to see since the wedding. It was also nice to officially be part of the family!

After this we headed to my mom's house. Where we spent time and exchanged gifts with my mom and sister. We got my sister 2 shirts and a super cute puffy vest. Which I would love for my self :) Mom got new pj's and some yankee candle stuff!

Saturday after Christmas we finally made it to my dads. It is always nice to see them and I always have such a good time! We opened gifts there and they took us out to lunch at Spaghetti Warehouse.

That was the end of our Christmas finally! It was a hectic 2 days, but we got to spend lots of time with everyone. Today we are you lounging around the house using our new Toys! I feel so blessed to have had such a great holiday and been so spoiled. Now I am just ready to start the new year!

Life after a wedding

Life after a wedding is calm. That pretty much sums it up. I thought I would be depressed when it was all over, but I think I ended up being more at ease. Don't get me wrong I am sad that this huge day in our lives is over. I've been dreaming of this day for a LONG time. So it's hard to belive that it has finally come and gone. It is nice to finally begin life after planning a wedding though. No more fighting and disagreements and stress. Now we just get to be married. Start doing all of the stuff we have been putting off because "we'll do it next year when we don't have a wedidng to pay for." I've begun making a mental list of everything I want to do in 2010. Just small things on the weekends nd maybe some places we would like to visit or people we would like to visit. I keep meaning to post pictures and a recount of the wedding on here, but I never did get around to it. I was putting of this first intial post-wedding blog post. I did begin this because of the wedding to keep everyone updated on what was going on. So hopefully you are interested in everyday boring life now! No more invitations to pick or flowers to make, or honeymoons to plan.
 Love you all. Jen-A :)

And it all came tumbling down

Last night I was awaken by a loud crash. I was half out of it and thought maybe I just dreamt it. Well we woke up this morning and those glasses we got such a great price on.... were laying on the ground broken. Half of what we bought had fallen over and broke. I was really upset about it at first. We're trying so hard to be frugal, and can't afford to have that kind of stuff happen. But we did get a good price, so I guess it's better that cheap stuff broke rather than the $230 worth of liquor bottles. Just trying to think positively. It's just inconvienent, now we have to find new glasses for the candles, or make another trip down th cinci to go to ikea. Bah! Oh well ... Could have been worse.
