No flow

Spoiler Alert - this post lacks transitions of any kind, sorry in advance.

I finally found a place for everything

Found the Gown!

Three weeks ago when my Mom was out here for venue shopping, she was very kind to overlook the disaster area which was our house. We had recently moved in and then Christmas happened so our house had gotten little to no attention at that point. Luckily, it's received much more TLC since then so Mom had a newly dry-cleaned comforter, no boxes to maneuver around and there was even a shower rod up!

Mom flew in again last Thursday night for a weekend of dress shopping.

I got me some Bridesmaids!

I've been brainstorming how to ask my bridesmaids to be in the wedding for weeks now. Pinterest helped with the ideas but not with my art talent - or lack thereof. After a few failed attempts I called up Lee Ann, hoping she could save the day and she did just that! She sent me a picture of what she'd come up with

Got resolutions??

I don't know if you can consider them resolutions, but here's a list of things (in no specific order) that I would like to turn into routine habits:

1. Duh - work out!

Sweating for the Wedding

LIke most anyone else, I don't have the best track record for staying committed to a work out routine. It's an on-again off-again, love-hate sorta relationship, and as of now we're back on. This time around I have MUCH better motivation (see header) and so far so good.

Progress Report

Since choosing the wedding venue (Classic Oaks Ranch) for July 12, 2014 (!!) many more decisions have been made and it's quite a relief, while at the same time I know there is still so much more to be done. 

I have chosen and booked vendors for the cakes, hair & make up and the dj & coordinator duo. My mom and I met with a florist that I will be using but until we decide on what the men are wearing can't finalize what flowers to order. Tyler and I went to a Men's Wearhouse Satruday for him to try on suits and find one we liked. I liked what he tried on but after we left  he voiced that he wants to try different colored shirts with it. Boys are the worst shoppers.

Please excuse my Leave of Absence

Well, if it's any excuse…the last month has been absolutely chaotic!

Tyler became an uncle on December 9 to precious Mr Maddox Giles! He's growing quickly and we're both enjoying being so close to them during this time.
