Wedding Wednesday... on thursday??

Hello Ladies (and gentlemen)!

Sorry Gents this one is geared towards the ladies--

Let me start this whole thing by saying this is the most fun I have had getting things ready for my wedding, everyone says planning is fun but I never thought it would be as much fun as it is, However we haven't even gotten into serious planning yet... Mkay! Moving on...

I decided I wanted to do a weekly must post blog entry... and that is Wedding Wednesday (even though today is Thursday... deal with it ;) )! We aren't planning on getting married for at least 2 years give or take depending on a few things. So I thought it would be a good place to just talk about WEDDINGS. What lady doesn't enjoy talking about and obsessing over weddings? That's right ALMOST every girl I know will talk about weddings.

Weddings are fun that's why!

So I decided to start the first Wedding Wednesday on Thursday with the start of my wedding planning binder! It absolutely is a work in progress. There are things that I need to print out, and I want to get some more fun girly things to write and fill out the sheets with.. but here is what we have so far

You are being warned NOW, there are a good handful of pictures!

I still have some work to do on the binder itself- I am going to print something out for the front of the binder. But we have to setup the printer and that is a task. ha!

 Pictures: starting from big and then going right to left

1.) The binder- before I personalize it

2.) 2'' binder

3.) Inside- Three hole punch, and dividers

4.) The dividers are all pretty and girly

5.) Space for notes

6.) Pockets to hold any receipts, cards, memos that kind of stuff

In the binder I have:

Our book for registering (had to talk Mr. B out of registering too early. Yes ladies I have that groom that is INTO planning the wedding.. what!!)

Tons and I mean TONS of wedding invitation samples... ( I have decided to make our invitations and save the dates. but free samples are always fun right!)

So, that is all we have so far, I also have a spread sheet from excel, and TONS of pins on Pinterest (follow me )! Welp I guess that will do it for Wedding Wednesday on Thursday! I cant wait to have more to post!

Off to scan Pinterest and the internet for Wedding inspiration!

Why bother?

Why did I start blogging in the first place?  I don't always remember to post a topic in here, but I don't always forget. I feel like I never have anything to post about that is new and exciting. I feel like when we go full force into wedding planning I will have more to post about. But that isn't happening right this second. We are saving money and what not. The more I read Stephanie's blog (check her out, I wish i knew her in real life!--> check it out! BEAUtiful Mess) The more I realize I blog to keep track of things and to possibly meet new people like Stephanie!

Do I wish there were more things to blog about ABSOLUTELY! But I doubt that hearing about the fact that B and I  hung out at the house, and he played video games while I looked at wedding stuff on repeat can be old news. I have crafts I am gonna do. But right now I dont have the space to do my crafting.

I dont expect to be a daily read for people all over the world. But to have people that stop by just to see what we are up to and make new friends that way cant hurt! You can never have too man friends!

Off to rethink how I can get this Bloggity blog out there =)

Double Whammy!

         So I know what all one of my followers is thinking, well damn its been a while since there has been a new post, whats going on?! Well lovely's I will tell you. Besides from the usual Monday thru Friday bologna, not a whole lot. But there is a little bit to catch up on. 

The last I had an entry was like I don't even know 2 weeks ago something cray like that.. this past weekend was pretty big one. We had our second anniversary. B got me a purple Orchid, and I got him a FSU coffee mug. We are gonna do bigger gifts later in the year but we still wanted something small for each other.

We did the Pinterest idea where you take a picture on your anniversary holding the picture from the past year. Daww its cute... anyway

Then we went to dinner and a movie. Very low key anniversary but I'm okay with that. We also got a free dessert because it was our anniversary. We dont need anything fancy we are pretty low key.

Saturday we did some yard work I worked a little bit and sunday was an adventure. It was also Easter

First we did breakfast, it was good eggs juice fruit nothing like back in the day with church and brunch but its okay. While B and I were chopping up celery and onion for my pasta salad we heard him being bellowed for. So we went to see what was wrong.. and there was a FROG in the house. How the damn thing got in here we dont know. So B vs Frog ensued.. B WON

We decided to spend our Easter afternoon by the pool, I finally am starting to get a base tan and it only took me about 3 hours I am looking forward to many more days by the pool and on the beach!

I mean after all I do live where you vacation!

Off to work on my Tan lines...

Did you ever wish....

Did you ever wish that there was a quick fix for a lot of things? I wish I had a way to inherit some money. Ha I know that is pretty much impossible with out having a millionaire grandparent or something like that. There are so many things that we want to do but the fact that we aren't financially able to do them sucks so bad! For instance I need a *new to me car*. And i actually mean that I need it. I am very lucky that I have a job. Its a perk that I can work from home. But the major downside is that I NEVER leave the house. I love my fiance but I HATE relying on him all the time. I miss the ability to just run to the store and not have to wait for him to come home, and if hes tired then chances are we aren't running to the store. Its that one piece of independence that I am dying to get back. The only thing is we dont have the funds. we are saving for a wedding, a car, an apartment.

I wish there was a way to make money on the side. I have thought about being a scentsy consultant but I dont know that many people that would buy. I'm sure I have a handful of people that would but lets be honest how many would keep coming back? But I think its something I am going to do, Even if its just a few bucks in the bank, every little bit helps. 

I'm just not one of those people that can catch a break. There is ALWAYS something stopping me from getting ahead. Its ALWAYS something. 

This is NOT a poor me pity me blog in any way, its a vent blog about the things that are bugging the crap out of me. Im tired of not having a car, and not being able to just go to the store if I want to. 

Hoping to have a craft blog SOON, but well we shall see what I craft.

Time to get chugging

Craft of the day: Memory Box

So This is a little bit of an older craft that I did, it was for our niece she was born in July. She has one of those names that you wont find on a keychain. Its really cute though. I wanted to get her something more than clothes that she is going to grow out of.


So first we ran out to Hobby Lobby and grabbed a little treasure box some acrylic paint and brushes 

After i got into my comfy's and got all ready for a few hours of crafting we set in and went forward started by painting the box white. It took about 2 or 3 coats to get it full covered. I did NOT paint the inside. It would be pointless really to do that.

  
After the plain white paint dried I added her name using stencils that I bought, it wasn't as hard as I though it would be. I didn't want it centered trying to be different. I also painted in the letters on the sides so they stood out, A B C  you get the idea they are the different accent colors. That also took about 2 coats. The butterflies and flowers both took only 1 coat to get a good cover.

 And here is the finished product. All together it took about 4 hours.  And i was super happy with how it turned out. So were they!

Leave some comments if you've made something like this! 

On to the next craft

Rainy Days.....

So its a rainy Monday  Tuesday afternoon and i just about died on the elipitical so i thought as a way to get excited for NOT dying i would do my weekend wrap up and share a few things that are gonna be happening over here!

So Friday was just a usual Friday, we really didn't do anything super fun, we did watch  "Argo" I didn't think i would be that good. But I was wrong, it was pretty good. I was yelling at the screen, and B was knocked out...lol

Saturday was gonna be a beach day, but it turned into a yard work day because B is so damn kind at heart (its really a good thing) he went the extra mile and was attacking roots for a neighbors tree that was trying to kill he pool. So that took all day. We did get to run over and see my uncle which was good. That man is one of the funniest people I know. Wrapped Saturday up with steaks and lounging.

Sunday I went out to "brunch" with my long lost best friend. I have missed this girl so much! She's absolutely going to be a bridesmaid in my wedding. But we didnt feel like waiting at Peaches for a table because we didnt beat the church crowd so Brunch was at Jason's Deli. They make a mean turkey club. It was so good to just sit and catch up and bullshit with my girl! who by the way has one of THE coolest dogs EVER! Im in love and Moose is my new best doggie friend. ha! This is gonna be a monthly brunch date with girls nights thrown in thats for sure! We also celebrated B's birthday it was nice we had homemade lasagna and ice cream and cake, good times had by all.

Monday was monday, worked and thats about all. Which brings us toooooo, Tuesday!! It has been a pretty regular day, B had work, so he went and did that. I tried to focus on work and get things done and it worked pretty well. I also got my arse kicked on the elliptical tonight, 15 minutes on there was more then enough I was training my breathing so I wasnt out of breath. But my legs were jelly. Sweating for the wedding, Im gonna be making a few of those shirts and a few that say Operation wedding dress, and all that motivational crap. ha!

So that's whats going on up-in-here! Hopefully I can get to the beach and get some color on my translucent skin, or ever to a tan bed and get a spray tan or something, its getting ridiculous

Waiting on the tan!

Gettin in the groove

OMG has it been long enough since I blogged?

Well right now I'm sitting in our room, watching HIMYM with my Fiance and fighting a super dooper migraine... The move went A LOT better then i was expecting.. nothing was broken, we didn't fight and we all still like each other lol. we are already getting into a new routine with B's new schedule. so thats awesome, those late nights were terrible. There hasnt been much other then the fact that we are gettin in our groove besides the fact that it was B's big ole birthday! Hims a old man now he turned 24! I got him a balloon, and a mushy lovey dovey card. We are doing a little celebration for him and his twin on Sunday. 

I am so excited to go to the beach, I have been missing the beach. Its been too long. almost a year. so totally not okay.

There really isn't anything else going on, super short entry this Friday night. 

Sooo I will talk to you all sometime Monday and do a weekend wrap-up
