Some of My Favorite Things: My Coworkers, The Muppets, and Pumpkins

Not everyone can say this, but I love my coworkers. I work with an incredible group of talented, caring, and creative individuals who never cease to amaze me… particularly when it comes to their vocal talents.

Yesterday, my coworkers threw me a surprise send-off party complete with a video that I will NEVER stop watching.

Of course, I had a full range of emotions in reaction to this incredible video.

And the feels only got feely-er when this next surprise walked in the door…

Matt surprised me!

I closed out my last week as a single gal by hanging with my NickFam, drinking pumpkin beers, and discussing the Muppets.

I’m so lucky to be surrounded by so much love, and to spend my weekdays with people who really “get” me. Even if what’s to “get” is that I’m just a pumpkin-loving girl who’s obsessed with puppets.

The Final Countdown…

What? it’s officially TWO WEEKS out from our wedding?! What kind of crazy time machine did we get ourselves stuck in?!

Needless to say, we’ve been VERY busy these past few weeks pulling together the last-minute details. For example, we got our MARRIAGE LICENSE,

marriage license say WHAT?!

I purchased my last wedding magazine (big deal in Jordan World),

our apartment has turned into some sort of cat-inhabited box fort,

we commissioned some exquisite wedding artwork from the famous flower girl/artist known as Lily Kate,

oh, and we got some sweeeeeeeet tattoos (sorry Elaine).

So… yeah. It seems like we’re ready. Right?

T-32 and Dancing…

We booked a venue, I bought a dress, we sent some invites…. but now we’re taking DANCE LESSONS?!

Oh yeah. Shit just got real.

First dance lesson

The wedding countdown is in full swing… we’re getting married in 32 DAYS. What better way to celebrate than with our first private dance lesson?  As it turns out, we apparently picked an incredibly complicated first dance song… but that’s nothing some late night ballroom living room dance sessions can’t fix.

October 3rd, get ready for us!
