1. I'm reading the Happiness Project and the Marriage Plot. I've asked myself why I've decided to read two books at the same time. I really don't have a good answer for that -- maybe I'd be happier if I committed to less! If you've read either of these books, what did you think?

2. Nine years ago this past Tuesday, Justin proposed to me. We were in college at the time and he proposed in front of the Capitol building in Austin. It's so fun to think back and remember the excitement of that night.
3. I apologize in advance to all of you who were good and made a new year's resolution to eat healthier, but it's not fair for me to keep this to myself. Ben & Jerry's Coffee Heath Bar Crunch ice cream is amazing. Try it. You'll thank me (your thighs are a different story).

4. I scored a super deal on a coat from Lands End. Down in Texas, we don't have the need for a jacket like this except for maybe 1-2 days a year, so I hate to spend a lot of money something I'll hardly wear. But I got this coat -- regularly $139 -- for $65 (and free shipping)! It fits great and is super comfy and warm. Perfect for some snow . . .

5. On a related note, we're headed to Breckenridge soon (hence the reason for the jacket)! Does anyone have any tips for places we have to see or things we have to do while we are there?
You are one naughty girl...you can't tell me about yummy ice cream like that!!! (c: LOVE the engagement night pic, you two are so cute and glowy...y'know, with happiness! (c:
ReplyDeleteI picked up the Happiness Project awhile back, still need to read it! Love the new jacket. I am sure it will come in handy on that trip!!
ReplyDeleteI read the Happiness Project a couple of years ago and enjoyed it very much. I'm actually starting the Marriage Plot today and I'm super excited because Eugenides is one of my favorite authors. Have fun in Breckenridge! I've never been...I always end up going to Vail but I've always wanted to check out Breckenridge.
ReplyDeleteCute coat! have a wonderful trip! :)
ReplyDeleteI am reading the Happiness Project too. On Chapter 2 and so far loving it and can so relate to everything!
ReplyDeleteLoved the Happiness Project... The Marriage Plot looks good too! Have a fun trip!
ReplyDeleteOoh, tell me about "The Marriage Plot." I've heard it's good. Have fun in Breck, it's one of the Colorado resorts we've been wanting to go to.
ReplyDeleteI love the Happiness Project, I follow her blog too. If I were feeling more energetic I'd like to start doing my own Happiness Project someday.
ReplyDeleteWow...9 years!! How exciting!! And let us know how the books are! :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww so sweet to remember special moments like that! Thanks for the ice cream tip - my thighs already hate you ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy 9 years together! :) And I love the amazing sales at Land's End after the holidays! I bought a similar coat last year during the sale and love it! Have a great time on your trip! :)
ReplyDeleteAhh I just got the Land's End parka before Christmas (on major sale!) and I LOVE it! It's so cute and keeps me SO WARM in this Tulsa wind, ha! Have so much fun on your trip Emily :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great ski trip!! And love Lands End sales
ReplyDeleteI LOOOOVE that ice cream too:)
ReplyDeleteBreckinridge is a great little town, even during the summer. You have to try Crepes a la Cart, but go during the day or early afternoon. The line after dinner can be an hour or so. The sweet crepes are totally worth it. Breckinridge Brewery, Downstairs at Eric's, Mi Casa, and the Hearthstone are all places we have to go to when we're in town.
