Oh Hey, Friday!!!

It's finally FRIDAY y'all!!! I don't know about you but I'm soooo ready for the weekend. Today I'm linking up with September Farm and {the farmer's wife} for another Oh Hey, Friday! Here's a recap of my week... [one] We got my momma's birthday gift and I wrapped it all cute like this. We shipped it and it should be there by her actual birthday that's on Sunday. She's an amazing woman and an even better mother. She taught me a very important lesson at a young age, "be a parent first, so you can be a friend later." I don't think I'm the only girl out there that agrees with this. I hope I'm half the mother she is and I can't wait for her next "big" birthday in a couple...

Wedding Wednesday: Advice for the Catholic Bride

Hi everyone and thanks for stopping by for Wedding Wednesday. This week I decided to address a wedding topic I personally had a tough time finding advice on in BlogLand: Catholic Weddings! I'll be honest, as a little girl who dreamed about her wedding day I never envisioned it being in a church let alone a Catholic Church...well except for when I was thirteen and saw Saint Patrick's Cathedral in New York lol. I always thought I'd have a beautiful outdoor wedding somewhere in West Virginia but a funny thing called life happened and an amazing [Catholic] guy from Cleveland, Ohio swept me off my feet. Through the years I attended several Catholic masses because so many of my close friends were...

I'm in desperate need of a cruise.

Last night Brian and I were looking over trip packages for our honeymoon and we started reminiscing about our first vacation together which was our cruise to Key West and Cozumel. While we love the ease of cruising we decided to do more of an "adventure" on foot trip through some of Europe. I've been on a few cruises so I decided to share some memories from them with y'all! My first cruise was to the Bahamas with my friend Sam on Royal Caribbean. I loved every minute of it and had such a great time. When we got off the ship in Nassau it was my first time on foreign soil so this trip will always be near and dear to my heart. This trip also marked my first, and roughest, visit to Senor Frogs. My...

Weekending: The Last Free Weekend

Happy Monday everyone! Today is a fresh start to make your week great! This weekend was exceptionally ordinary but still a great one. I'm linking up with Biana to tell you all about it. Here is what we were up to... Friday I actually got to sleep in since I didn't have to go to work. I use to term "sleep in" loosely because I'm at work everyday at 6:30AM so anything past 8:00AM is considered sleeping in for me now. I went over to see Brian around lunchtime at work because it was move in day for Oxford at Emory University so I hung around the athletic department table in case any girls wanted information about dance team since I'm the coach. I didn't snap any pictures of the madness...

Wedding Wednesday: What's Hap-Pinning?!

Happy Wednesday everyone! And to answer your question, yes, I'm wearing pink! Today I decided to combine two of my favorite linkups. I'm linking up with Macy and Nikki for Wedding Wednesday and Jenn and Jessi for What's Hap-Pinning?! To be completely honest starting last Thursday things have been a little disappointing in WeddingLand. A couple things happened that put a damper on my week including but not limited to: finding out an important family member isn't going to come and the bustle on my dress being messed up big time. Luckily I had some amazing people to help me through it. Brian was amazing per usual with helping me through...

Weekend Update: At the homestead

Happy Monday y'all! Today marks two short months until our wedding and I know time is going to absolutely fly by! Today I'm linking up with Biana @ B Loved Boston and Meg @ Life of Meg. Here are a few things I did over this relaxing weekend spent at home. We FINALLY put together all the elements of our wedding mass. It will be sent up to Cleveland later on this week! I'm in the market for a new car and decided to go look at the Jeep Renegade. I absolutely loved it and it's definitely the top contender at the moment. I'm one of those weird people that likes a box style when it's comes to my SUV's.  The flowers from my cousin’s wedding last week were on their last...
