T-Minus 1 Month till I Do!

Ahh where has the time gone!? It seriously feels like it was just yesterday that I was stressing over HOW to even START planning a wedding, and here we are a month out and it's basically (dare I say) done? Minus a few details of course. 

Now I'm just patiently waiting for all of our RSVP's to be returned (really, all you have to do is write your name and check yes or no and lick the envelope-not hard), and pick out wedding songs (eeks!). That's becoming the hardest thing to decide on. How can you pick just one song to identify your love and life commitment to someone, out of ALLLL the songs that are out there. Same for the dad/daughter and mom/son dance. I don't want to be a cliche and do what everyone else does, but it's really hard trying to find something to fit like that.  

I have felt mostly calm these past few weeks. I don't feel emotional, just excited. I'm excited to see how everyone is going to look, all done up and pretty (the guys too!), and I'm excited to see how the decorations/flowers/colors I picked all come together. I'm curious to see how I will be feeling the actual DAY of, just because I tend to hide the emotions I really am feeling by putting on a strong face. I'm in disbelief that this is truly my life that I'm living, and that something as great as this is happening to me. Is it wrong that I'm the most excited to already BE married, and to be at the Bahama's all week long with blue water and white sand and my new hubby (okay okay-I'm mostly super excited about the food we get to eat). And I've used the word "excited" 6 times in this paragraph, and I don't even give a hoot! 

There are plenty of shenanigans that still need to take place up until April 11, wedding related or not, so I'm trying to soak up each event to memory so I can look back on this time of my life and feel the same way I feel today about it. Including a DIY Pottery Barn knock off head board that my very own Rob the Builder is completing this week-can't wait to share a pic because it looks legit! Oh! And new bedding should be in by this weekend also! So we will have an updated master room, and our guestroom will actually have a bed frame, headboard, and will have REAL LIFE bedding (kindly taken from our current master bedroom situation), instead of just being a mattress on the floor with wedding frames on top....

Lessss Gooooo!

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his ...

Winter is Coming..so is a Wedding!

Burrrr! Today is a balmy 40 degrees outside-and I'm definitely not ready for it despite my scarf-wearing, boot shopping fashion choices since September, hoping to "force" Fall to actually happening, but now that it's here: go away! Or at least just get a liiiitle bit warmer, so I can still have fun in my dozens of scarves and boots, but not freeze my ass off. Ka-peesh? My parents like to kindly remind me of what's to come in December, since we are going to the Army-Navy football game in Baltimore. Last year in Philly was just awful (and by awful I mean freezing, rainy, icy, cold, hungry, wet, sweaty, repeat) but a blasty blast being in a new city and living through new memories being made.  Any hoo-Even though I'm not snuggled up at home on this festive Veteran's Day (thank you to everyone who has served!), warm in my bed, I still wanted to touch on some wedding related topics: vendors. This could also be fun to read AFTER the wedding in April, to loo...

Happy 2015!

Cheers to the New Years! Hope it was lovely and celebratory and filled with lots of hopes and motivations for this upcoming 2015. I know this year is going to be the best one YET! We spent our New Years at a friends house, who had a great set up (including a DIY photo booth) and festive decorations! Plus a champagne-tasting contest, so we got to try a lot of different kinds of bubbly!  The best is yet to come! And it's so true. Each chapter that we embark on as a human being brings a new day and a new goal and new "best" days. When I was in high school, it was all about graduation it being the "best day," then we got to my 21st birthday, then my college graduation, then one of many relationship's anniversary, then getting my first big girl job and then turning 25, then to being proposed to, and now my next "best day" will be April 11, 2015. And from there on it keeps on and on. Isn't that exciting?  Each day I'm workin...
