Fibrayer (pheteorva'r) (fevral)... (february)

January has passed with a somewhat staggered eloquence:  I have had my first bouts of "bad days" at work~ learning/growing experiences... littered with moments of introspection; I went climbing on walls with friends~ something that seemed so scary and liberating at the same time; I have received my first full pay check from work; Pete and I have made some decisions about our wedding plans and we are in full swing of research and calculations (websites I have found helpful: green wedding shoes, pinterest, the knot, and save-on-crafts); Pete and I have infused our own vodka (ginger vodka and peppered vodka!); Peter is now becoming his own brew-master of sorts (so far, Drinkable IPA is rated #1 on the taste test) and is planning on brewing the beer for our wedding day!  Now it's time for February... 




(While Portland was sleeping-in on a Saturday morning, I came home from work to this)

Roses are already beginning to bloom again and while the cool air outside is invigorating, I keep finding little promises of Spring outside.    









I am really looking forward to this weekend as it is our first weekend of "wedding preparation and celebration".  I will be looking at wedding dresses with Jill (my future sister-in-law) and am so excited to check out the boutiques around Portland.  On Saturday night Pete and I will be celebrating our engagement with some Portland friends and family- which I imagine will be absolutely fabulous!
