Happy Monday afternoon! This week is going going to be a low key one, but today I am in cozy Starbies catching up on emails from the past week, scheduling venue walk throughs with my brides, and taking care of some details for my April classic meets enchanted garden wedding.
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families and loved ones. Despite the 75 degree weather and torrential downpours that occurred here in Richmond, it was one of my favorite Christmases ever. Over here it was one of those weekends (ok, 5 full days) of yoga pants and sweaters, long talks on Chris' parents deck, matching pajamas, girls day with nails and brunch, game night, and wonderful conversation with my sister-in-law who I hadn't seen in a whole year which led to me pretty much living at my in-laws all weekend and minimal sleep. Hello, coffee!
Oh! and my youngest brother-in-law got engaged so I'm getting another sister which now makes the Schmidt family have more girls than boys! Hooray! haha! And talking about engagements, my best friend Jen also and finally got engaged to her longtime boyfriend Scott. Love is in the air! And I'm so excited for all the wedding planning to begin with these two couples! Gosh it was such a great (almost) week! You know those days where you don't know where your phone is in the house, but you don't even care? It was like that everyday and I'm hoping for a lot more days and weeks like that in 2016.
Chris and I didn't go crazy with presents this year because Ireland was pretty much our gift to each other, but Chris made a collage frame with photos of us which was really sweet, though he accidentally put two of the same photo in there...right next to each other...oh boys... and everyone is telling me when I hang it I have to keep it that way and I just don't know if I can do that haha.
So another Christmas is in the books and later this week I see that Richmond is going to finally be getting colder and I'm anxiously awaiting the first snow even though it may be quite sometime.
I'm so excited to recap 2015 in a huge blog post on Thursday and on Friday share my word of the year and my 2016 goals! Hooray!
Hope you all had a very merry Christmas!
