very recently.
i didn't end up going to piano class last week because i decided not to continue with it, even though i was SO excited about it and had already learned a couple of little tunes. i figured that since we moved up the wedding date, it would be wise to not take two classes that require a lot of homework and i also figured that sewing would be a better thing to stick with for now. it's something i already know how to do which makes things a lot easier, i'll just be learning to make clothes. i'll also need this skill someday when i have little feet slapping on the floor in the kind-of-near future. with work, class and planning a wedding, times are gonna get tight. they already are. i barely have time to hang out with friends. i was a little concerned today about going to my sewing class because i ran around getting all the supplies that i had not yet had, including a small table from Staples because i STILL have not received the sewing table in the mail i was supposed to get in October (thanks Home Decorations), and also because it was the first work day so i didn't know what to expect. i ended up making a few friends and it was a very enjoyable few hours. we will be sewing on Bernina machines, which i learned tonight are the best sewing machines i've ever worked on. they're super expensive, but we can get an awesome student discount that i think i'm going to take advantage of eventually. in between my car payments, monthly dump in the marriage savings account, wedding expenses and Bogart's impending neuter extravaganza i need to just set aside some cash gradually to save up for this glorious machine. i'm telling you, it is worth it.
on Thursday my mom, David and i are going to see a venue in Hollywood. a hotel to be exact. the pictures on the website are incredible, but when i received the wedding package minimums and photos in my email today i was blown away. i want an outdoor wedding, but this hotel is so fabulous i wouldn't mind having it inside instead. it is pretty pricy, though, so i'm trying not to get my hopes up. i fear that when we go visit the ballrooms and then realize it might be out of our budget, every other venue will pale in comparison.
my birthday is coming up and i don't even care. i thought 25 would be monumental, but with a fantastic Christmas and an engagement proposal, a measly birthday doesn't really seem like much to celebrate.
