Cousin Camp

This week I watched my two cousins while my Mom, Dad and Aunt went on a cruise.

I actually had to wake up at a "normal" hour (it was too early for me) to get the girls ready for school.We had a fun week, and played lots of games, but only after ALL homework was done first.
Jolie decided we should make a banner for everyone when they got back.We spent ALL day Friday making this banner and individually decorating each letter differently.

Day 365: el Fin

Seeing as this is the last day of 365 project, I thought we'd try to do something exciting....instead we ran last minute errands, got oil changed and tires rotated, did laundry, packed, and relaxed.

Reason number 238493493918 why I love Peter Perozzi..........He went out late and bought me tampons.

I've definitely learned a LOT from the start of project 365. I think I understand photography just a little tiny bit better, I am healthier, I am marrying my best friend, and I can't believe it all happened so fast.
I am so blessed, and can't wait to see what the next year brings.
More specifically something that happens in 192 days, and then the cruise that happens in 211 days~!~

Day 364:ZzZz

Look who found a new sleeping spot....if I were a dog, I'd want to sleep there too.

Day 363: Rain

It was such a blah day filled with gloomy skies and rain. Peter and I tried to go out and find something to do. We rented Date Night and Dinner for Schmucks. Date Night was really funny and a very cute movie....we stopped watching Dinner for Schmucks about half way through because it was so painful.

For dinner we made another HP recipe....this time it's Shepherd's Pie.I had no idea what that was or what it entailed until tonight. Turns out it's delicious, and really easy to make.
Score!

Day 362: ?

...oops...

Day 361: Ikea

Peter and I venture out to Ikea and fell in love with a bedding set. And what's great, is that all of the pillows, shams, duvet, sheets, decorative pillows, and down comforter is less than the duvet cover alone that we had originally picked out at bed bath and beyond.

SCORE!I wish we could register at Ikea...one stop shopping, for real!

Day 360: Yoga

Got my emissions done, went to the eye doctor, and did P90X Yoga.

Day 359: Clean Teeth!

I love going to the dentist.

Cavity Free since 1988!
One of my most favorite achievements.

We made another recipe from the Harry Potter cook book.
Herby Roasted Chicken with garlic and onion mashed potatoes.
It turned out fabulous.Peter doing the dirty work.
We also found the invitations we're going to use...Progress!

Day 358: Home

I have a Dentist appointment tomorrow and an eye dr appointment Saturday, hopefully I can make it.

Come on Mr. Sunshine! Work your magic.We made it to Kroger and picked out some recipes from my Harry Potter Cookbook.This recipe is from the first book when Harry is taken to Diagon Alley with Hagrid and he eats a burger.
Sauteed mushrooms and onions on the burger.
I didn't put any ketchup, mustard, or mayo on the burger because it was THAT good!

Day 357: Stuck

Wanted to go back to my house today, roads are too bad, and it's colder here than in Chicago. There is something seriously wrong with this picture. Snow really loses it's appeal after about 3 days of it. This is how I can tell I'm a true southern girl....snow was fun for 2 days, now it needs to go, and the cold winter rain can come back please.

A big thank you to Andy Edwards who picked us up in his Land Rover and brought us home. We made a pit stop at Northside Hospital Forsyth and Peter got to go in to deliver medical equipment to the OR with Andy while I nervously stayed in the Land Rover with hopes that no one approached me about being illegally parked. There is no way I would have felt comfortable driving that thing around the block.But we made it home, and even did P90X. We're going to be sore tomorrow.
I really NEED to get back into shape.

Day 356: Snow Sucks

Stuck in all day.did p90x, played wii fit, played rummy cube, read Disney trivia, watched hot tub time machine, ate a delicious dinner.

Day 355: Frosty

Peter's dad made me a snowman pancake, complete with M&M's and bacon arms!

We made an awesome snowman to match the pancake and sledded some more.

Day 354: Snowpocalypse

We have SNOW!!!!!

we went out at midnight and went sledding for about 2 hours, and had way too much fun.

after coming in and thawing out, I realized that I busted up both my knees and my back hurt.

it was totally worth it.

Day 353: Pictures

Engagement pictures at Snow Mountain today!

We had so much fun with Katie (the photographer) and her husband Garth. They were absolutely great, and made the whole process relaxed and super fun. The only picture I took today was one on the way to Stone Mountain because we were so excited. We took pictures in the snow, and all around the park. I absolutely can not wait to see the pictures!

After a wonderfully fun day in the snow, we went to J. Alexander's for the biggest steak and salad I have ever seen in my life. It was delicious and such a treat.

I love my fiance, and how he loves to spoil me.

Day 352: A Package Has Arrived!

Today Peter and I received our first ever wedding present!

We were super duper excited!

Thank you!!!!!

Day 351: Homework

Today we had lots to do, but it wasn't errands. It was more like homework, because it involved calling lots of wedding stuff, making appointments, and talking to lots of people on the phone.

Picture fail, again...this is happening a lot this year.

Day 350: Semi-Annual Sale

Met up with the lovely Amanda F. and Amy G. this morning for some Victoria's Secret shopping. We had lots of fun, and got lots of goodies.

Later I made Peter watch me play Epic Mickey, because he made me watch him play Assassins Creed Brotherhood for 4 hours.

Paybacks

Day 349: Round 3

We went back to Bed Bath and Beyond today, and to Target. I think we got the bulk of our registering done. Now we are just remembering random little things, and making a list for later.

Day 348: Long, long, long, long day

Went to Lennox Mall to register at Macy's.....that didn't go to well....their selection really sucked, and it was all WAY too expensive....So, back to Bed Bath and Beyond and Target we go.

We left feeling defeated, frustrated, stressed, and really confused.

Giant Christmas tree from the top of Lennox
On a happy note, we stopped in American Eagle, and they still had winter stock out, and he was able to get all the winter clothing he wanted, and even more. That was wonderful!

I even got a cute dress on clearance.

Please explain this sale to me......(If you can't read it, the red tag says 39.95 and the regular price is 39.50)

Day 347: Brunch

Brunch with Elise and Michael.

Love them.

We got so excited about registering, that we went ahead and went to Bed Bath and Beyond tonight.

Peter was super duper excited about using the price gun.

After "decorating" the bathroom with our scanner, we started to get a bit loopy from all of the decisions.

We should have packed a snack

Day 346: It's gonna be a GREAT 2011

Happy New Year everyone!
We spent the day playing video games and napping.
