Long time no post

Wow, it has been quite some time since posting! Lots of updates!

First semester came and went. We began our second semester January 4th and after only 4 days back, the snow-geddon of 2011 hit Cobb County and shut us down for an entire week straight!! Unexpected break...I refuse to call it a snowcation because everyone is saying that and it is obnoxious. It was nice being trapped for a few days...did not really DO anything productive. Played with chihuahuas and ate candy. NO complaints!

This week is our first week back. So far yearbook has not really improved on our meeting of deadlines...I just do not know what is going on this year. Newspaper though, loving it! We found a printer, assigned sections, and have rough drafts ready to edit! The design aspect though is quite daunting. I have used InDesign once, at the ASU Reynold's Institute this summer, I am no designer and therefore cannot teach my students. I am literally teaching myself this program in hopes of coming back Monday with a nice little lesson planned. Our goal is to publish in TWO weeks. First edition!

On the personal life front, big news! Kevin and I got engaged Christmas night. The ring is more than I could ever expect or want..it is AMAZING. We are planning a June wedding...only month I don't have school/work...but the choosing of the venue has been a bit stressful. We were going for north GA mountains, but I remembered our trip to Beaufort, SC and thought how beautiful it would be to have a wedding there! We are making some venue visits in the weeks to come with hopes of tieing down a date.

So far, I have the dress, bridesmaid dresses, and colors chosen. We are doing lavendar, plum and sangria for the flowers with ivory, and the bridesmaid dresses are sangria. They are beautiful!! I am also working on our wedding site...www.mywedding.com/kevin&alyssasellors. I wish I could just take a week to plan!!!

Anyway, all for now...will post more frequently with wedding bell updates!!
