Notably Positive

There are lots of good things that happen in my life but they are often small things that aren't much of a blog on their own. Because of this, I seem to skip writing them. This shouldn't be so! I should be trying to write all the good things so I can remember them! In a effort to remedy this problem, I have decided to start a Notably Positive segment. Each one will be a collection of good things that have happened recently. With no further ado, my first Notably Positive blog:

-JC Penney has come through for us again! We went to Men's Wearhouse to get Branden measured for his suit... Then went to JC Penney, bought a sale suit using a coupon and paid a grand total of $117. :) It's a black pinstripe and he looks quite dashing in it. Now we need the shirt- I still can't decide if it should be cream or colored- tie and shoes.

-While on the shopping trip to buy the suit, we stopped by Lane Bryant for me. I purchased new work pants and finally spent the gift card my parents gave me for Christmas. My new pants are one size SMALLER than my last pair of work pants! I was feeling that my weight loss was stagnating but buying smaller pants has made me feel a little better. :)

-Earlier this week I reconnected with an old friend on Facebook. We knew each other in college and have lost touch for a few years. It was so exciting to find her and even more exciting to find out that she's married to an awesome guy.

-Yesterday at work a twenty-something guy told me that I smelled really good. Admittedly, I was decorating and had just drizzled fudge down the sides of a bunch of cakes so I no doubt smelled like chocolate... But it still made me feel good and giggly.

-Mindy, being the amazing woman that she is, touched up some of our invitation pictures and added the proper wording to one of the signs. The invitations are almost done now and we should be able to print them and start getting them mailed off sometime in the next week or two. Thanks so much for your help, Mindy! You saved us another trip to the photo booth!

-Our wedding cake plans have been finalized and Kazia, another amazing woman I am privileged to know, has agreed to the design. :) I'm not sure what to say about it because I do want a FEW parts of our plans to be a surprise to some- obviously Kazia knows and Katie knows as well because I can't keep ANYTHING from her. :) I'll just say that it's a fairly simple design and very much our style.
