A Little of This and That

Oh my goodness how did it get to be Thursday already??  Ugh I feel like I haven't done anything this week!  Well..I didn't do much at the beginning of the week. Oops.  But I do have a good excuse!  My BFF, my Roomie, my other half - Anna came down to visit for 24 hours, which (as always) was SO MUCH FUN!  Anna and I have lived together on and off since college.  I always say, I may live with my husband, but Anna is my Roomie!  So she came down and we did nothing! And it was lovely!  We hung out, catch up and had a movie marathon.  Even though I wasn't productive (like as always I said I was going to be) while she was here, the times we get to do things like this are getting fewer and farther between - so I LOVE when we can.

                                                            Anna and I at my wedding

This past weekend, we were up north.  On the way, we encountered some really cool weather!  A tornado had gone through a small town and done a bit of damage which was sad, but it left some really cool clouds in its wake.  We drove through at just the right time to see them!  It was then I learned that the Blogger app on my phone didn't want to upload in that area lol.  So I have a stuck blog post on my phone with those pictures!  Oh well.  These are the really cool clouds we saw in Wausaukee, WI.

The next 10 days or-so are nutty because of travel schedules, my parents coming into town, etc so my posts are probably going to be a bit random.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Pinterest

Getting ready to head to the lake for the weekend so this will be a quick post!  I AM OBSESSED WITH PINTEREST!  Seriously if you have not discovered it yet, you need to jump on the band wagon.  My only regret is that I didn't start playing around with it 8 months ago!  It would have made wedding planning SO MUCH EASIER!  Especially when I was looking around for inspiration for my theme, colors, decorations, bridesmaid dresses, my dress.....ok really it would have made it easier for every single aspect of the wedding!

Here is my board of wedding photos

So to those of you who are engaged or are thinking about getting engaged Pinterest is the way to go for wedding stuff!  And for everyone else....it is just really fun and awesome to use!!!

Check it out this weekend if you have a chance!  You will be as addicted as I am!  Click on my link to the right to follow me on Pinterest!  And have a GREAT weekend!!!

The Pink In Me

So what is this whole Pink In Me thing??  Well...I was trying to think of a name for the blog.  And I think the best way to describe me is Hot Pink.  So of course the name of the blog had to have Pink in the name.  When I think about my life in the last couple of years - when I have been the most on top of things, having the most fun, been the most productive, etc etc etc is when I was "Pink."

Now that I have some time to think about things other than my wedding, I've realized I'm not quite as pink as I used to be.  I operate in life much better when I am on a set schedule.  Lately, I haven't been.  So I am trying to get myself back on a schedule so I can be more productive and accomplish more every day.  While I am looking for a full time job, there is SO MUCH I can get done around the house.  Besides thank you notes from our wedding, there is all of the cleaning out the old stuff to make room for the new.  And WE HAVE SO MUCH STUFF.  So I am trying to clean out stuff in general.  And I am definitely not using every day as productively as I could be.

Coincidentally, I just started reading The Happiness Project.  Have you read it?  If not, go get it!  I am only on month two, but man is it helping me out!  The first chapter/month - January - happen to go perfectly with what I am trying to accomplish.  I am trying to get rid of all of the clutter and get my to-do list waaaaay down.  It keeps me up at night!  And it's not just stuff around the house, but I need to go to the dentist, the doctor, register my car, grocery shop and the list goes on and on and on.  So hopefully after I make my massive to do list (ok and maybe start setting an alarm....) it will light a fire under me and re-store a little bit of my productively pink self!

My First Post

As I write this, I know that no one  is reading this.  But you will!  It has taken me awhile to start a blog, even though I have been thinking about it for some time now.  I'm sure my challenge is the same that a lot of people: will I write something that is interesting enough for anyone to actually want to read it?  I guess I will find out!

So first a little bit about me!  About a month and a half ago, I married my best friend and love of my life Britt.

In case you can't tell from the picture, we are both HUGE into waterskiing.  It is very cool being married to someone who shares almost all of the same hobbies and interests as you. So far married life has been great!  We went on an amazing honeymoon to St. Lucia and now we are settling back in to reality.

We have the world's cutest puppy, Buoy! (Can you sense the waterski theme?)

Buoy is a good puppy, but he still needs a bit of training so we are working on that as well.  He was our first and favorite wedding present!

Another thing you should know about me is I LOVE PINK (in case you can't tell from my background).  My husband is a good sport to put up with my love of pink.  It definitely was one of the colors at our wedding, and it was beautiful! (Stay tuned for more wedding pictures!)

Some other major things about me are: I graduated in May with my MBA in Marketing. It was good timing to let me get through all of the wedding stuff before going back to work full time.  I am currently job hunting.  It certainly is taking awhile to find something!  Although I shouldn't be surprised, I've only been looking for a few weeks.  I am also working on starting my own business - which I'll tell you more about later.

So those are some of the basics about me!  Stay tuned for more of my adventures, goals and life as I am learning from all of the new changes in my life!
