These shoes would go perfectly with my dress. However, they are $1,850 so my bank account says a big, fat NO.

A Lovely Ensemble
I'm looooving this adorable outfit! Sometimes it takes me a while to start liking trends, but this whole socks-with-heels-thing is instant LOVE. <3
seen on wit + delight
She's Moving to Paris!
The gal behind Oh Happy Day, Jordan, is moving to Paris with her husband and two little boys. I am so inspired by her bold move to a foreign land. I'm really enjoying reading her blog and seeing her gradual transition from San Francisco to Paris. I've never met her but I LOVE her blog. I can't wait to see the adventures she will go on in Europe!

Skiing at Bear Valley
On Saturday, I went skiing for the first time and it was marvelous! The day was sunny, warm, and perfect. First, I started out on the smallest hill imaginable to get a feel for the snow and the skis. I was really nervous at first. Sliding around on the snow with things attached to my feet was a whole new experience for me. (I'd been sledding before but that's it.) Then I took a class where I learned some good technique from a very nice man named Nole and my confidence increased considerably. I left class early to go try out the lift and a real run. The first time off the lift I fell hard and couldn't get up. The guy working there had to come lift me up out of the snow and onto my skis! I was so nervous the first time down but I did it without falling! I was so proud of myself and I couldn't wait to meet up with Spencer and Carlos at lunch to tell them how well I was doing.

Spencer hadn't been snowboarding in about 7 years and he was very happy to be back at it!
At night there was a torch light parade where a big group of people went down the mountain with flares. It was so cool to see them all skiing/boarding down surrounded by red, glowing torches. It was a beautiful, clear night which was perfect for the parade. After all the people made it down to the bottom of the mountain, the fireworks started. They were so pretty!
It was a remarkable day; one I will never forget! I had so much fun skiing down the hills, riding the lift, and spending time with good people. I can't wait to go again!!!

Skiing
I am going to learn to ski this weekend! I am so excited to try something new and play in the snow. I hope I don't hurt myself...wish me luck!!
Long Time, No Blog
I took a little (ok, a month long!) break from blogging over the holidays. It was a great holiday season and the first time Spencer and I spent holiday family event together! I have to say, waking up at his parents' house on Christmas morning instead of my own parents' house was a little strange, but his family is so loving and welcoming that it was a very lovely Christmas indeed. Christmas night was then spent with my family and it all turned out wonderfully.
For New Years weekend, we took a trip down to our college town of San Diego to spend time with friends and see the city we have been missing SO much since we moved north last December. We had a delicious champagne dinner at Firehouse in Pacific Beach and then partied until midnight with all our friends. It was so much fun; I wish we could have spent more time visiting!
I am getting back into the groove of every day life. The wedding (May 21, 2011) seems a LOT closer on this side of the New Year so I am busy planning all the details for our special day. I'm sure we will be doing a lot of DIY crafts for the reception since my mom is one of the most craftiest ladies I've ever met! I'll be sure to post some of that on here in the months to come.
Much love, Maggie
