My engagement ring! I absolutely love it. I took it off the other day while I was dying my hair to make sure that I didn't get any dye on it and I felt naked.

A newer tradition-- Cider making! I've been on a kick and love this part of the holidays. Still in the process on deciding on which spices I like most.

The star on top of our first Christmas tree! We lived together last year, but Sean and I didn't have a real tree with our roommates. Ryan and I ran over to CVS the day after Christmas to pick up some cheap directions and I'm pretty happy with the purchases. I'm loving our tree topper!Hanna Raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04318898039122818036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609499417324296284.post-634205718705270892011-12-05T14:02:00.000-08:002011-12-18T14:02:34.620-08:00Day 5 // Shadow<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I love that my new ornaments were advertised as "shatter proof." They're cheapy and plastic, so of course they're shatter proof. I can say, however, that they are definitely not dent proof.

I spend 40 hours a week here and it's less than inspiring. I was never 100% positive that my job was safe due to budget cuts, so I never wanted to take the time to clean it up and really make it <b>my </b>space. Now that things are a little more set, I feel like I can change some stuff around to make it mine.Hanna Raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04318898039122818036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609499417324296284.post-31455162979444339742011-12-01T11:08:00.000-08:002011-12-04T11:10:53.097-08:00Day 1 // Profile<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

For the past few months I've been making monthly goals and doing my best to stick to them. Here goes December!<br />
1. Visit venues for the wedding. Decide which fits our style best and set a date.<br />
2. With my budget so low this month, think up cheap alternatives for Christmas gifts.<br />
3. Pick up my wedding dress!<br />
4. Go to the gym Saturdays and Sundays.<br />
5. Enjoy the holiday season!<br />
6. Make cider.<br />
7. Finish the 30 Day Photo Challenge and input all my backdated photos!<br />
8. Look for new jobs.<br />
9. Resist the urge to chop off all my hair.<br />
10. Save all my wedding inspiration images into organized folders.<br />

Since we had to buy a billion things when we got our own place, I was thankful that my mom gave me some of her old silverware. Especially since I always liked this set the most!<br />
<br />
When I was little and had to set the table, I always made up these "damsel in distress" stories about the silverware. Why? I don't know, but I guess I thought that setting the table was boring and needed to jazz it up. Anyway, the spoon was always the princess. The knife was the bad guy. The fork was the hero. I don't remember any stories that I had made up, but I <b>always </b>think about this when I set the table.<br />

Good ol' Sean. I am so glad that I have him in my life and wonder where I'd be without him. He has been so supportive, loving, and encouraging. It's so strange to think that I wouldn't be engaged to this amazing guy if a friend hadn't given me his AIM name one day on a whim. He's been in my life for the last seven years and I am so excited for the rest of our lives together.Hanna Raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04318898039122818036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609499417324296284.post-68475312194933060702011-11-18T17:30:00.000-08:002011-11-20T10:41:17.956-08:00Day 4 // Favorite Color<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What a cloudy, gloomy day! It'll be awhile before I see a nice, blue sky. I'll be going to a training class about "Staying Healthy Through the Holidays" that's supposed to touch on the stress and sadness that comes along with the winter month. I'm definitely looking forward to it and am hoping that I'll learn something that will help me over the coming months.</div>Hanna Raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04318898039122818036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609499417324296284.post-44990661528197681962011-11-16T18:10:00.000-08:002011-11-20T10:41:01.039-08:00Day 2 // What I Wore<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A regular work day. Sweater, jeans, and flats. Since I've been debating about growing my hair out for the wedding, I thought I'd wear my long peacock earrings. People usually do a double-take and ask me if I've grown out my hair/got extensions, so I figured it'd be a good visual trick!</div>Hanna Raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04318898039122818036noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609499417324296284.post-14777648374759768812011-11-15T20:34:00.001-08:002011-11-20T10:40:52.657-08:00Day 1 // Self Portrait<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Lately I've been feeling incredibly self conscious. I go through these phases of complete confidence in myself followed by this uncertain funk... And that's where I am now. I try to see the silver lining and be optimistic for everyone else and it's time that I take that approach with my own life. Here's to active changes for improvement!</div>Hanna Raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04318898039122818036noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5609499417324296284.post-76412504461190385002011-11-12T20:35:00.001-08:002011-11-15T17:19:19.933-08:00I hate intro posts<div>I always feel like introduction posts on blogs are so lame, so I'll just jump into it! I've been doing a "30 Day Photo Challenge" (via <a href="http://sherryturley.blogspot.com/2011/07/anyone-up-for-challenge.html" target="_blank">Oh So Lovely</a>) on tumblr, but have already fallen behind. I think I'd like to start over here and try to put a little more effort into it. I love coming across those challenges, and hope that I can actually complete one for once!<br />
