shiny and new!

Ah, the end of the semester is almost here! I have such a hard time managing my time. When I'm not doing schoolwork all I want to do is nothing. But I thought I would show you what Ben and I have been up to, besides the ever growing list of wedding plans!
This is the bike Ben got me for my birthday! A 1961 Schwinn! He wanted to get me one for my previous birthday, but couldn't find one until now. Ain't she a beauty?
Me thanking Ben for said bike. He looks confused.
A break from riding along Lake Michigan. Beautiful Day!

blizzard bunnies!

So... Chicago is really snowy right now... have you heard?  The snow is piling up in ridiculous amounts.  It's kind of awesome slash kind of annoying.  Today of course, was the worst day because I didn't get to stay home and cuddle.  Mandatory orientation at my new school! Yay!
After it was over, I trekked to H&M with Benny.  It's never too snowy for that!  Anyhoo, while I was there with no money and without my five lovely bridesmaids, I found the perfect purple dresses.  They were $20!  Did I mention buy one get one free too?  Perhaps I'm an idiot for not buying them, but I really feel like something better will come along.  But with my ladies scattered from Wyoming to New Jersey, it just wouldn't work.  They would need to be altered I'm sure.  So... sorry to my lovely bridesmaids.  I will find something just as lovely... eventually...

Margarita Love... oh, and Ben too!

Here's something to get you through this Monday-like Tuesday!  I was looking through old pictures and found this one of me and Ben.  It really wasn't that long ago, but still, it is fun to reminisce.  This was taken on Ben's birthday, I think two years ago.  We still lived in  Lawrence and probably ate at El Mezcal once a week...  We had a problem.  Damn those deliciously cheap margaritas!!  
Ain't he cute?
