Happy Holidays, hive!! I hope you all had an awesome time with your family and/or friends. I was in North Dakota over Christmas where the temperature promptly dropped below zero. Gross. Despite the cold we had a great time celebrating and singing together at church, eating Grandma Sword’s chili, sharing presents, playing games, and gorging on cookies.
I’m actually doing a lot of wedding planning, crafting, and family bonding over the next few days so I won’t have any spare time to write, BUT I will have lots to share with you all starting in January when I’m back in Chicago!
For now here is a project I worked on with Sister/MOH Big Eyes during our time in Bismarck. The back story is that Sister Big Eyes received a new iPad from her school, and she and her third graders made a movie trailer using iMovie. Well, she showed all of us her trailer and after congratulating her on the awesome work, I exclaimed that we just HAD to make one about my wedding too.
We had a blast making it and then went on to make even more movie trailers with other family members. I’m not even an Apple person (Mr. Sword and I are “Android people,” as he likes to say), but this iPad app totally rocked my world. Plus, I’ll jump on any chance to star in a movie made by me about me. 
Hope you all enjoy it and I’ll be back next week with lots of wedding updates!
Makes me laugh every time I watch it. 
Mrs. Sword, Chicago Age and Occupation: 28, Nanny/Actress Fiance's Age and Occupation: 28, Software Engineer Engagement Date: February 19, 2012 Wedding Date: March 2013 Venue: Embassy Suites Bloomington West in Bloomington, MN About Me: I am a true girly-girl originally from the great state of Minnesota and my fiancé hails from the beautiful country of Scotland. We met and fell in love in our favorite city, Chicago, and are having a blast blending our cultures for "A Highland Fairy Tale" wedding! We are truly a case of opposites attract in that he’s a world traveling introvert and I’m a social butterfly who is never too far from home. We both love hanging out with family and friends, fine dining, and laughing at ourselves. He drinks a lot of beer and I talk too much. We wouldn’t have it any other way!
