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 ...

To cut, or not to cut...that is my question!

More like a dilemma. I've done it before, and I've grown it back out, so I can do it again-right? I feel like everyone has short hair these days (I currently have the longest hair on my team at work!) , and all I wanted when I had short hair was to have long hair again. Now that it's long (and gross and fried and ick at the ends) I want to go short. But then I have an awesome long-haired day and think I want to keep it long. Do you see my problem here? Summer is coming, so it's going to be up in a pony tail or bun most days, so that just seems like such a waste of hair. But I sweat a lot and since summer is hot, wearing it in it's intended short style probably wouldn't last.  What is a girl to do?!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter!  And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!):  #shorthairdontcare
