busy busy month

between moving into a new house, christmas shopping, & wedding planning i can't remember the last day we've had nothing to do! i guess we should probably get used to that! david's family is home from North Carolina and have been staying with us helping out with the house and getting things organized. they'll be staying with us until the wedding! here are some pics from our busy lives this month...

Our families finally decided to meet 2 weeks before the wedding...this is sarah and I at our house after dinner



here is David & I in chicago at Millenium Park before we went to see "It's A Wonderful Life"...




15 weeks!




these are our good friends at shaun's bday bash....

30 days to go....

i can't believe we only have 30 more days until the wedding. i guess it goes by fast when you're only engaged for 2 months! i can't wait for it to be here! i couldn't imagine waiting a year like some people. david and i spent the past week trying to get prepared for the big day. we finished registering, which let me tell you, was very time-consuming! i thought we could just go in there and scan away. but no, we spent forever trying to figure out if this would match that and how this would look in that room. so in the middle of all that we decided to hang out in the massage chairs for a good 30 minutes. then david proceeded to register for them =) we finally got all of our invitations sent out. now we're just in desperate need of finding a photographer so if you know of anyone with a nice camera and knows how to take a picture let me know! we also found a house here in monticello! it was between two, one was really small with absolutely no storage and the other was much more feasible with a nice basement and lots more room. we found out yesterday we'll be able to rent the better of the two so that's exciting! hopefully we'll be able to move our things in next weekend. i'm ready to be organized again. my stuff is like a tornado throughout my parents house and my car has only enough room for me to barely sit in it. oh the crazy life we lead.

Our first blog...

well i figured since everyone else in the family has a blog, it was only right for us to start one of our own. that way you can all keep up with our crazy life we're about to begin together. ok so we're not really the "o'malleys" yet but come january 5th it will be official! i'm so excited. we've gotten all kinds of comments and advice from "it's going to be very hard" to "it's the absolute best thing in the world!" i'm sure it can be both at times, but can't wait to find out for myself!
