<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Ah, what a week it has been! TGIFF (Thank God it’s f-ing
Friday).</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Columbus, OH has had some of its coldest temperatures in
YEARS (much like the rest of the country) and on top of that, the heat in our
house went out for those coldest days. I spent lots of time snuggled under
about 6 fleece blankets and wondering why the hell we live in Ohio. Even our
half-husky dog was too cold! That’s saying a lot. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Downtown Columbus also had a water line break which affected
much of the downtown area including my office. We had our first “adult snow-day”
which meant I spent most of the day working from home and snuggled under those
6 fleece blankets. I have a feeling this week is one of those weeks that I will
look back on when I’m 70 and say “remember when?” Making memories whether they
are good or bad, I guess. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2014 has not had the greatest start to say the least. It
hasn’t been just about the weather, but so many other things happening in life.
So my question is, is this a sign for what is to come in 2014? Or can things
only go up from here? </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I hope things can only go up from here or else I’m in for
one hell of a year.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Hey party people! Happy Friday to you and yours. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I’m enjoying the last “relaxed” day at work before the S
hits the fan on Monday when everyone returns to work and the craziness of a new
year sets it. My calendar is full of a lot of meetings and to be honest, I’m
pretty excited about it! I’m one of those people who strive on being busy and
it looks like 2014 will be just that. Busy-ness doesn't stress me out, but it
excites me, which is why I really do love my job. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> This weekend is the
first weekend in weeks that we have no formal obligations so my plan is to:</span></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Catch up on laundry and take down Christmas
decorations</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Watch the Buckeyes and Blue Jackets win
(hopefully)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">Hang out with a few friends</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-size: 7pt; text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-indent: -0.25in;">And finally, sleep in and relax!</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Life post-holidays for me is all about getting back on a
schedule which also includes scheduling in some down-time at home. I love it!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I hope the new year is treating you all well so far! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Go Bucks and Go Blue Jackets!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Happy New Year, people!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As always, I have huge aspirations for the upcoming year including keeping up with this little blog of ours! We have so many family members that love to stay in touch with our adventures that I figured this could be the best little space to do so...and it will be nice to document our life so when we're old and have kids we can say "Hey, we were once young and cool, too!" So here is one of my resolutions…blog 3 times a week. I can handle that right?...maybe…we’ll see.</span><br />
<br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />Jason and I kicked off the New Year by ringing it in with some really great friends! We went to a new restaurant in German Village called “The Kitchen” and the whole place was adorable. Gold sparkled table linens, champagne tasting, comfy couches and great company…I was in event planning heaven! It was a fun evening full of lots of champs and lots of laughs…I was feeling a bit Heather Dubrow-ish.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br />New Years Day I was up early to work a 5k in Westerville called First on the First.

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I will be the first to admit that I <strong>HATE</strong> change. Once I get in the habit or get comfortable with something, I hate even thinking about making a change. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some examples:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: cyan;">{Example 1}</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I CRIED at the beginning of each school year from elementary to high school <span style="font-size: x-small;">(and let’s admit it, bawled like a baby when I went to college).</span> I would wonder: </span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“would this year top last year?”</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“Would I still be friends with the same people?”</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">“What if my teachers hate me?!?”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Needless to say, I’m a big ol’ baby.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: cyan;">{Example 2}</span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I had a bit of an anxiety attack when thinking about moving out of our apartment. Sure our place is small, old and does not have a washer/dryer or a back area for <s>little</s> Hannah to run around in <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(luckily we have a dog park right behind the complex) </span>but this is our first<strong> HOME</strong>! I love it to no ends so the thought of leaving it, makes for an anxious Danielle.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: cyan;">{Example 3}</span></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">My sister gave us an AMAZING king bed but instead of basking in the large bed goodness, I convinced Jason to put the king bed in our spare room for <s>guests</s> Hannah and my clothes to enjoy because I could not bare the thought of not sleeping in our first bed. Crazy, right?</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: cyan;">..................................</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Now, before you all recommend that I see a psychiatrist <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(believe me, I’ve thought about it before too), </span>I have come to the realization that change is <strong>GOOD</strong>. We need change to grow or else I would still be stuck in 1st grade with Mrs Creed as my teacher…but I’m sure I would be really good at cursive if that happened.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Anyways, there are some changes that are about to come in my life and for once, I am welcoming those changes with open arms! I’m excited to grow, experience something new and get out of my comfort zone. Hopefully I'll be able to update you all soon about these changes!</span></div>

There are so many eclectic people that go and not to mention, delicious fair food <span style="font-size: x-small;">(mmm, fair fries!).</span> It’s held in Goodale Park which is right by our apartment so it’s pretty convenient for us to go <span style="font-size: x-small;">(not too convenient for those who have to drive though, parking is horrible)</span>. I would say Comfest is enjoyable for many people, but I understand that it’s not all. It is definitely something to go to at least once if you are in the Columbus area. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was a pool rat this weekend, was a rat for a few hours on Saturday and then was a rat once again yesterday. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">One of the biggest complaints I have about our apartment is that we have to use a community laundry room. If you think trying to get the motivation to do laundry when you have a washer/dryer in your house is impossible, try getting the motivation when you have to walk outside, to a community area AND pay for your least favorite chore. It is just the worst. My motivation to do this chore comes when: </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">A. I run out of undies <span style="font-size: x-small;">(tmi?) </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">B. when I stare at my closet full of those clothes that I never wear but can’t seem to get rid of. <span style="font-size: x-small;">(you alllll know what I’m talkin’ about)</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Aaaand the newest motivation….</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">C. our apt pool is RIGHT next to the laundry room. I get to lay-out <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">AND</b> get shiz done?! <u>SCORE!</u> Not too shabby of a chore anymore….until fall/winter/spring hit. Then the chore begins to suck again.</span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: cyan;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">{five}</span></b><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;"></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Love me some True Blood! HBO has sucked me into yet another show. I just started watching True Blood last year <span style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 115%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">(I know, I know, late to jump on the bandwagon) </span>but I am loving it! It’s crazy, suspenseful and my SVU man, Detective Stabler, joined the cast this year and let’s just says, I’m not hating it. Watching True Blood is a great way to end my weekend and prepare me for the upcoming week that will probably suck me dry of life (j/k, just had to add that vampirish pun in there).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I can’t deny that I am a total TV and sitcom GEEK. I love anything from HBO’s new comedy Veep to my favorite, Parks and Rec. So for today’s “That’s Funny Friday”, I’m going to be sharing some of my favorite tv shows. Enjoy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I LOVE the new HBO comedy<span style="color: blue;"> </span><a href="http://www.hbo.com/veep/index.html" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Veep</span></a><span style="color: blue;">.</span> It stars <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000506/" target="_blank"><span style="color: blue;">Julia Louis-Dreyfus</span></a> as the VP of the USA. I like to think of her character as being loosely based on what the VP office would be like if Sarah Palin was running it....hilarious. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Notice any changes in this little blog of mine?? I got a new name! *high five*</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The <a href="http://itsgoodtobequeen13.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">bestie</a> and I were sitting around watching tv last night while the guys were being active and rock climbing and I said “Hey, should I change my blog title since in a few weeks I will no longer be a “newlywed”? We decided that I should then the hard part came when we had to THINK of a name. How in the world was I going to think of something!? I could barely think of “It’s a Newlywed Life” let alone a whole new blog title. The challenges of life, right? Anyways, luckily Megan is super creative and came up with “Young Love and the City” and I knew that just HAD to be my new title. I ended up dropping the <strike>“Young”</strike> in the name because I hope to have this blog for the long haul and as much as I hate to admit it, I’m not going to be young forever! So rather than risk the chance of changing this little blog’s name again, I just made it “Love + the City”.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So <strike>many</strike> (or just two) of you may wonder “Hey, what’s the meaning behind the name?” Well folks, it’s pretty simple. The hubs and I are in love <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(sappy romance)</span> and we LOVE living in downtown Columbus, hence “Love + the City”. We live in the Victorian Village/Short North area in Columbus and could not be more in love with the area. We have sacrificed potentially having a newer/nicer apartment in the suburbs of C-bus for a small, not so nice apartment right in the city and it is perfect for us. </span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">C.</span><span style="font: 7pt "Times New Roman";"> </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I suck at blogging (see below for explanation)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">So why start up again? Well for one, I love reading people’s blogs. It’s a good way to learn about other people from around the Columbus area (and find good activities to do with my hubby and friends!). I also love learning about people from other states, seeing what they are like and learning that people from Utah, Texas, Kentucky, etc really aren’t that different from me (except for the occasional “ya’ll” and cowboy boot outfits) aaaaand because I feel like a total creep when I know a lot about other bloggers and they don’t know I exist <span style="font-size: x-small;">(that puts me at the TOP of creeper status, all I’m missing are some binoculars)</span> so I feel like I should give this blog thing another go and give others a chance to get to know me!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Another reason of why I stopped is because I felt like a blogger fail. I <s>didn’t</s> don’t think I am all that good about expressing myself through writing. I have a big background in blogging/writing but that was in sports so when it comes to writing about me, I suck. I set so many “rules” about how a blogger should blog but then I thought to myself, there are no rules to blogging. It is my own blog and whether people read it or not is not a goal for me. My goal is to create a “diary” of sorts for me to look back on and reminisce. Don’t get me wrong, I would loooove for some people to find me interesting enough to read, but that isn’t my #1 goal. </span></div>

This is the best gift I’ve ever received! Here is a little bit of a back story on this pretty little thing on my left ring finger….</span></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So I had absotutely*, no stinkin' idea that Jason was even thinking about proposing to me when he did! We discussed that I had to wait for him to pop the big<strong> <span style="color: cyan; font-size: x-large;">?</span></strong> until after he finished law school! Which is not until <em>2013</em>! Ahh, talk about <strong><span style="color: cyan;">surprise</span></strong>! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, we talked about getting married and all of the important questions potentially engaged couples need to talk about <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">before</i> getting engaged <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(cough, Kim K.)</span> but one thing we never discussed was the bling! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think the main reason we never discussed it was because Jason already had the ring! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">After Jason’s mom passed away, his grandma decided to buy him some diamonds for Jason to give to his future wife since Jason’s sisters got his mother’s jewelry. Jason decided that I was the lucky girl he was going to give those purtty diamonds to! I not only love this ring because Jason gave it to me but also because it also comes from a<strong><span style="color: cyan;"> <span style="background-color: white;">very special lady</span></span></strong> to both of us <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">and</i> because Jason got to design the ring himself! So pretty much, I have a one of a kind, never replicated ring.<span style="font-size: x-small;"> (Not sure how true that last statement is considering I’ve seen rings like mine but never one exactly like it. There might be one out there though!) </span><span style="font-size: small;">Also, Jason was able to use some of the diamonds in his band which is great! </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">So much meaning behind the ring bling! <span style="color: cyan;"><strong>Love it.</strong></span> So without further ado…here is the BLING! </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

If you haven't listened to them, you should. Their music is upbeat and different and I heard they are amazing in concert. Plus, the concert is at my favorite venue, Newport Music Hall so tonight is definitely going to be one for the books. Here are some of my favorite songs from them:<br />

I had never been there before and my expectations were met plus some! We ate some tastey food and drank even tastier beer (mmm yuengling!), we then hit up the games! I love playing arcade-like games and to top it all off; I won the jack-pot on one of the games and got 1000 tickets! That’s right, 1000 tickets! It’s safe to say I was a lot more pumped about it than anyone else around me and bragged to many people who did not care, but hey! I never win games so I was so excited. Jas and I got Megan and Kevin some little gifts since it was their bday then we got a Stewie doll for Hannah and a blow-up hammer toy!

To celebrate, we headed to the Jeffersonville Outlets and did some shopping damage! We both had high hopes to be productive and I would say we accomplished our goals! Megan got some goodies for her home (an amazing bedspread from Pottery Barn), some Christmas gifts for her family, and some goodies for herself! I got about 85% of our Christmas shopping done. It is Nov. 14 and we have almost all of our shopping done. Boo-yah! I also got some little goodies for myself too ;)</span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
<strong><em>Today</em></strong> is Hannah's boyfriend's bday/adoption day! Yayy <strong>Gunner</strong>! He is such a <u>handsome</u> little man and he is Hannah's main squeeze. She loves him and they play so well together. He brings so much joy to Kevin and Megan's life and I know they love him so much. He is one goofy and happy pup! He can't help but shake his whole butt and tail when he gets excited! Have a happy, happy, dog day Gunner! We love you!<br />

Today is Veteran's Day. Today is a special day to give thanks to all of the service men and women who give up so much to protect our freedom. This year seems closer to my heart because my brother-in-law, Mitch, is away from his wife and four boys serving our country. After Christmas, he will go to Afghanistan and Heather will be home with the boys. They are a magnificent family and are going through a really tough time right now. Check out <a href="http://itsgoodtobequeen13.blogspot.com/2011/11/bring-alpha-company-home-for-holidays.html">Megan's blog post</a> about their amazing family and how you can help out this Veteran's Day and holiday season. Here are some pictures of my favorite servicemen!<br />

We adopted Hannah from the <a href="http://www.franklincountydogs.com/programs/shelter_adopt_info.cfm">Franklin County Animal Shelter</a> and we are so happy that we chose to do that. She was on super-sale since she was a full grown dog who had made her way back to the shelter a few times. She was adopted from the shelter, then ran away and the owners never came to pick her back up. Their loss is our gain. She is an amazing dog who has been through a lot. I think that just makes her more appreciative of the love we have and give to her!</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Family Guy is my go-to show when nothing else is on and last night, while waiting for Modern Family to start, was the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL-0F3IAVfo">episode</a> where Peter talks about what really grinds his gears.

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">1. Kim Kardashian and this whole "wedding" and divorce drama. First of all, did she EVER talk to Kris about their future or big issues that come with being married? Probably not since she said she didn't realize what she was getting into. That's what pre-marital counseling is for, Kim. You probably didn't have time to do this very important part of the wedding planning though process because you were filming your TV show and creating your Fairytale Wedding. Priorities people. BTW - who really thought this wedding would last when Lindsey and Dina Lohan were invited? Not this girl.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

When you buy a bag of chips and, while the bag looks to be full from the outside, you realize when you open it that the bag is actually half empty. That's right. This is a situation where the bag isn't half full, it is definitely half-empty.
