Me, right after the ceremony...
I have absolutely LOVED my sabbatical from blogging.  Of course, I've missed all of you, but seriously, what a great vacation...

A quick recap of what's been going on...

1) still no full time job, but lots of part-time ones, including dance, freelance design work, working at my aunt's real estate office...
2) new love for coupons... our last triple coupon weekend we spent $82 and saved $97!!  love it.
3) IKEA opened in NC.  Enough said.
4) the most exciting thing going on... I am working on starting my own business this summer.  Yup.  I can't wait to tell everyone about it.  I can't give you too many details right now, but I promise, this is going to be FUN!  If you have a wedding, party, or any other social event to plan - I'M YOUR WOMAN!  As I have more info, I'll fill you in.  :)
