Trying to find the motivation to finish my end of the semester projects...

I know, I know.  One of Bernie's rules was that I had to write something in this blog once a week and I'm way overdue.
First off, the Engaged Encounter retreat was really good. Bern and I went in there feeling like we knew everything there is to know about each other (which was great) but the whole purpose of the weekend is to grow closer together with God and also learn more about each other's responsibilities with home front things, like finances, children, careers, etc.  It was a lot of fun and we definitely walked out of there feeling more confident in each other and more in love and more ready than ever to get married. :)

This past week was pretty low key.  I only had 1 class on Monday and two online quizzes (Got A's on both, woot woot) However, I did have to work a bit.

We found a reception hall for our reception that's half the price of the one we originally booked!  I'm really excited about it and it's actually in an easy location from the church! April is approaching fast!

Thanksgiving with my family was AMAZING!  Bernie was with my family the whole time because his family is in Washington for his sister's second wedding reception with the grooms parents and family.
My family ate a lot at my parent's house and then we had dinner at my grandparents' house and boy, did I overeat!

Friday was the Husker's Game (GO BIG RED)  Bernie and I went to that I we beat Colorado so Nebraska is going to the Big XII Championship in Texas on Saturday Dec. 4th...We play Oklahoma.

Yesterday I went back to my parents house and we played this crazy game of Catch Phrase, Password and Charades all mixed into one game.  It was loads of fun!  Almost peed my pants from laughing so much!

Today Bernie and I put up his Christmas tree in his living room and it looks silly but like "us."  Every year Bernie and I have a thing where we each pick out the ugliest Christmas ornament we can find.  As the years go by the tree will get uglier and uglier.  It's basically so ugly it's cute.

I'm suppose to be working on a couple projects that I have to do before next week, but it's so hard to find the motivation to get these done when all I really want to do is grab a quilt, sit by the fireplace and curl up next to Bernie with two big mugs of hot cocoa.

Anyway, I best be getting to those projects!

Happy Holidays,
