As you've probably noticed, I haven't been blogging. After the tragedy last Friday, I find myself unmotivated to write and quite frankly, at a loss for words as to what I could possibly write that anyone would care about.
27 people are dead. No one cares about my rants, raves or revelations.
Kelly Ripa said something yesterday that resonated with me. She said, "As a parent, I don't expect much, but I expect to be able to take my children to school and for them to come home at the end of the day."

the LIEBSTER award!
Well this is kinda of fun. I was checking blog comments this morning and saw a note from Samantha at Designer in Teal that she nominated me for a Liebster Award!
What is that, you ask? (I did.)
The Liebster Award is given by bloggers to up and coming bloggers with
less than 200 followers. The meaning: Liebster is German for sweetest,
kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, pleasant, valued, cute and
endearing.
So, thanks lady! I'll take that compliment any day :)
The rules:

Weekend Update: Holidays with the Hubs
Hello, lovers!
Mondays are so much better when you're heading into the week knowing that you only have 8 more days of work before vacation. I'll be spending a week at home in Iowa before Bryan and I leave for Europe on the 27th. We don't come back until January 8 and I can.not.wait. This year has been a bit trying for me in terms of work, so I'm excited for a long break and to come back in the New Year refreshed and re-enegergized.
Anyone, onto my weekend update:
I had a lovely weekend if...

Sunday Social: Holiday Edition
I'm being a lazy blogger today. And a lazy person in general. I'm too tired to put much thought into anything, so I'm linking up with Neely and Ashley. They're talking holidays, which I'm all about.
1. Favorite Holiday Movies/TV Specials?
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation is obviously the best movie ever. It's a holiday favorite and an all-time favorite. Other favorites include Love Actually, Home Alone and Elf. Side note: I spent the better part of today watching holiday movies on Lifetime,...

Wedding Wednesday: The One Where I Lost My Engagement Ring
This is not your typical Wedding Wednesday post. This is not about picking flowers or colors or venues. This is a story that no other bride should have to tell.
It's about the time I lost my engagement ring.
Bryan and I were just back from our amazing trip to California where he proposed two days before my birthday. That coming weekend, we planned to celebrate our engagement and my birthday by enjoying a typical fall Saturday: watching football at a bar.
We started the day in the early afternoon...

D is for Decorating
Hi peeps, and happy Monday! (Is that an oxymoron?)
Today I was a guest blogger for Krista over on Nineteen 93. She came up with a super-cute twist on guest blogs and linking up: It's called 25 Letters of Christma!
Each day this month, a different blogger will cover one letter of the alphabet that has to do with the upcoming holidays.
Today was my day: D is for Decorating the Tree!
Head on over to Krista's link-up and check out my post: http://www.estnineteen93.com/2012/12/25-letters-decorating-for-holidays.html
