Countdown For the House is Over!

So we received our keys on Friday, December 5th for our new 3 bed 2 bath house, and started moving in. We got most of the big stuff such as the bed, couches, tv, and fridge. We also painted the master bedroom. Of course, Paul has set up the livingroom complete with tv, satellite, and surround sound. That's all, everywhere else you look there's boxes, but it feels like home. We managed to get the fake tree up along with our stockings to put on the mantle. Also, Kathy, Paul's sister, hooked us up with a beautiful pine wreath for our front door. There's still stuff in the old apartment which we will get this weekend. I will post some before and after photos as soon as I can. Still no extensive wedding planning as of yet. We think after the holidays and after we settle in we can really get some wedding stuff done.

Right now, I am working on the Christmas cards and the MU Newsletter (Mendoza-Umali Newsletter). Hopefully, they will be completed in time, but I am sure people will understand if they are slightly late. Happy Holidays, Everyone!

Enchanted

Last night, I watched the Disney movie, "Enchanted." It is about a fairytale girl about to be married to a fairytale prince, who was banished to the real world by the prince's wicked step-mother. It was actually quite amusing, and they did a really good job incorporating some of the tales we know and love, also it works as a musical where randomly characters would burst into song. I really loved one section where the girl is dancing with the man she loves, and the song they dance to was really beautiful. I thought this is it! We found our song. I showed the song to Paul, and it was perfect until we come to the end. The song goes, "we're so close, yet so far." And my heart sank. It was perfect for that moment in the film where the girl gets separated from the guy. But it was not a perfect end for a song for us. Oh, well the search for our song goes on.
