phew...

its been a long week! and a tiring one at that. most of the time was spent putting the finishing touches on my new office. here are a few more photos today of the finished office, as i've started to unpack. i'll be posting more in the next few days as i get stuff set up on the new desk that ian built for me yesterday :)


[fireplace still needs to be painted]




[look at the nice cedar lined closets with chalkboard + magnetic paint!]


its going to take a few days to move things down 2 flights of stairs, and set it up, but i can't wait to start on my next project in my new space. it also frees up the current office to finish up the wedding dress :)

speaking of wedding stuff, the paper supplies for the invitations arrived on friday, and i was able to start mocking up some test invites.




luckily, i have some great friends and ann offered some time and came over today to help me assemble all [!] of the invites. tomorrow i'm off to buy some stamps, stuff some envelopes, and get these things labeled for mailing. with 10 weeks and counting, they'll need to be in the mail in the next 2 weeks. its crazy how quickly time is flying. i'm looking forward to all the fun extras like bridal showers and bachelorette parties, but its more that i really can't wait to marry ian. well, that and going to st lucia :) hehe, just kidding sweetie!

last night we finally went to silk elephant in squirrel hill to try out their thai tapas. i highly recommend this place! i was pretty irritated when zyng closed and this opened in its space, but i'm already over that! yummy food, strong drinks, and a nice atmosphere. i'm sure we will be back sometime soon :)

thats it for now, i'm ready to crash and its only 8:34. i think its time for some mindless tv and knitting to relax me for the night. oh, and maybe a foot massage....
