Los Hermanos: Couple's Shower

This past weekend Robert and I had our Couple's Shower that was generously hosted by his parents at Los Hermanos. We had most of our family/lake/deer lease friends there, and my parents finally got to meet everyone who I've been getting cray cray with over the past 5-6 years! It truly is overwhelming the amount of support that we have from all of our family and friends, and I'm just lucky that I found a fiancĂ© who has such a great family and tight knit group of friends that welcomed me with open arms. 

I think my face is just now getting back to normal-I was almost sore this morning from smiling and laughing so much yesterday, and it really is just a great problem to have! Robert's parents and his sister had such a great set up too-from the bridal dress cake to the bride and groom cake pops (that were so SO delish and I failed to get a pic of, wahhh), which were all homemade. I'm a sucker for the little things and all of these sweet little things are so cute and make my heart happy. 

I cannot thank everyone enough for coming out to celebrate in some way or another, stemming back from last January when we first got engaged, and it's just going to be a blast in just a few short weeks when this all becomes REAL! 

Friday afternoon we had our meeting with the venue to go over everything, so yea, this is happening-like for real.

[[Also, check out these super cute goodie baskets that my future MIL made for the winner of the games-I swear they should all go into a wedding shower business or something!]

I will probably be saying Thank You to anyone and everyone for probably the next 5 years. Come on, April!

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 

Wedding Invites: DIY

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY).  2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock.  Here's what you need:  FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half ...

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?!
