Wedding Wednesday

So I have been debating whether or not to share certain information on my blog because really, a girl has to have some secrets. I know that I have shared the ease with which I found my wedding dress. It was the second one that I tried on, it was the first one that fit. I am not going to show you "THE DRESS" but here are some other shots from that day.

Please enjoy the {somewhat doodoo} facial expressions. I must have been an easy sell because I sure can't hide my feelings well. If you watch my face, it's easy to see which one was the runner up!

{thought bubble: Get this off of me!}

{No Really, You think that I am joking?}

{That's a lot of dress}

{I kinda like it!}

Wedding Wednesday

My first shower! Last week I shared the adorable invitations fashioned by Jen and Barb and today I just want to give you a quick glimpse into my adorable Monograms and Mimosa's Shower.

Me and Sweet Alise!

Some of the Bridesmaids!

Tammy and I!

Thanks Ladies for all of your hard work! I had a blast!

Ta Da!

So, do you remember this kitchen? It is no more!

The fridge came in January and she is a beauty!

I would totally recommend a french door fridge to anyone! I absolutely love it!

Isn't it so much better than what we started with? That fridge now lives in the garage and is stocked full of food and beverages! Hopefully, next to go will be the floors!

Here's a little something to think about.

D wouldn't get rid of this little number.
He took it from the fraternity house years ago and insisted that it live just like this in our home. "Enough is enough," I said and told him that I was going to paint it. Ofcourse, he didn't want anything besides his skilled hands to touch this gem.

Thankfully, it has been saved.

Nothing like a fresh coat of white paint and a fixture. Now all that I need is a cute green and white lamp.

The Return

of Wedding Wednesday!

I happily mailed these babies out yesterday so they should be hitting the doors of our friends and families in the next couple of days! Here is a preview of some of the paper and DIY items that I have been slaving over for the past couple of weeks. I promise to divulge more secrets in the coming weeks.

A preview of information brochures for our out of town guests...

That will be included in these...

That's all that I will divulge today, but check in next week for more surprises!

So it's been a while,

but don't worry, I didn't forget about you. Life has been hectic this past month. I lost my job in January and went to real estate school. The course that I took to begin my latest journey was interesting and intense to say the very least! I thoroughly enjoyed using my brain again and am so excited to take the state exam. That application is in the mail and I am still studying, but this week I ought to have more free time than I have had since January. Some people immediately feel bad for you when things like this happen, but alas, no need. I feel more like myself than I have in months. I feel empowered and incredibly blessed to be able to pursue a dream of mine!

I also have managed to get plenty done for the upcoming wedding but I will save that for tomorrow's return of Wedding Wednesday!!!!

On another note, remember this little idea?

Well, someone was paying attention, because look what I am getting!

I am so excited! I can't wait to see my girls this weekend!

I swear,

I will pay more attention to you after Thursday...

In the mean time I will be think calm thoughts brought on by these soothing rooms.

{photos from this is glamorous}

I am really beginning to think that I want to have a completely neutral home. I don't think that there is anything boring about these shots.
