Happy Valentine's Day!!!!!!

I'm so excited valentine's day is here! I've been looking forward to today all month! We get to go out to a yummy yummy french restaurant, i get to give neill his gift that i hope hope hope he loves, and I get my new valentine's day song! I'm usually not so v day crazed, but I think this year feels extra special since it is our last valentine's day before we get married! (of course, I could say that about a lot of things . . . but whatever)

I don't care whether you are single or not - I know everyone has SOMEONE to love. So tell them!

results are in!

finally, the poll is over! thank you to the 26 of you that were kind enough to vote. I wish I could tell you how many people total visited the blog within this week so I could report some sort of response rate. Looking at my googly analytics, I know it was more than 26 but it is hard to know exactly! Each time I posted it on facebook about 30 people clicked over to the blog on top of the general 10 to 15 that I have everyday. What it doesn't tell me though is if those people were new visitors or maybe people who have already voted.

Anyways, i was going to be all psychology nerd and do a chi square to analyze the results but it is 8:30 in the morning and I just am not feeling that right now. So here are the results:

Urbanity - 50% of the votes (13)
Swirls - 26% of the votes (7)
Find something else - 23% of the votes (6).

Without doing the statistics, i'll say that significantly more people voted for the urbanity invitations than swirls or other. Of those that didn't favor urbanity, about half liked Neill's swirly invitation and half thought we should find something else.


thank you again to everyone that voted! It was really fun to do a poll so I plan on doing more of them in the future.

invitations

ok people, i need your help.
we need to figure out our invitations - and soon. i have real work i need to be doing and i just can't stop trolling for wedding invitations. These here, urbanity by bella figura, are the ones i'm leaning towards. It would look just like this - but smaller.

 

Neill is crushing on these swirly spinning lovelies, also from bella figura

what are your thoughts? i'm going to try and set up a poll on the blog so you can vote anonymously!

chocolate coma

the other day, i dug out an unopened bag of hershey's kisses from our tea/coffee/chocolate shelf that were left over from christmas. Yay for me for having the self-control to leave them be for so long! Boo for me for making the mistake of opening them. tsk tsk tsk.

today, i planned to bring them to loyola to leave in the main office for others to munch on. and i even got so far as to put them in my bag and bring them to campus. but, then i forgot about them. until i got home, that is. because then i had like 12 of them. and they were de-licious. but now my stomach hurts and i'm not hungry for dinner :(

chocolate is truly my weakness.

i heart my hubby to be

i've got the best hubby to be! not only did he bring home sushi last night, but today he designed and priced out our gift bags for our out-of-town wedding guests, did the grocery shopping, AND changed my closet light bulb. swoon.
