HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Last night, my fantabulous MOH, my BFF, Jenn came over. We had a little holiday celebration of our own with some champagne, Snowtinis, and yummy-licious pupus. We had jalapeno popper spread, cocktail meatballs, sangria skrimps (heehee), and fresh mozarella and avocado stuffed mushrooms... oh dear god, those were heaven. Little does Jenn know, she has to make those for the wedding... hahaha j/k! But they really were delicious and I can't wait to get the recipe. Jenn also gave us a few Christmas gifts, and much to our pleasant surprise, one of the gifts was something off of our wedding registry. WE GOT OUR FIRST WEDDING GIFT! I was so excited, that I actually looked up the registry today to see "fulfilled" next to the item. Cuh-ray-zee, I know, but HEY, it's our first registry gift, SO THERE! But, we just want to send an extremely heartfelt THANK YOU HUG to Jenn. Gifts aside, she has been a phenomenal Maid of Honor... I love you Jenn - now hurry up and buy a ticket out to NY and hang with us! =)

So, before flying off to the frozen tundra, we just want to wish everyone a Happy Holidays and a FABULOUS 2009! I don't know about you, but we certainly cannot wait for 2009. After the new year, it's only four short months til the big day, and we are both so excited... we really can't stop talking about it. I have to say that I am the luckiest bride-to-be to have a groom-to-be who is as much into the wedding, the planning, the details as much as I am... maybe even more! Haha! No new updates as of yet. We have to meet with the cake people and we are scheduled to take our engagement photos next month, so we are stoked on that. We didn't want to do the typical beach pictures that most engaged couples do. We have a few ideas... mostly revolving around the Newport Back Bay area... should be fun! After that, my dress should come in, then the bridesmaids dresses, then all the chaos begins. Really, I'm not freaking out at all...

Anyhoo, again... wish you all WARMTH and happiness this holiday season and into the new year. We love you all!

Cya in 2009!

A little message from Cory:
