I'm Blogging?

Wow. It's been two years.

Everything changes in two years. Everything. 

I've kept up with a couple of people, silently. But I have!

In two years I have

...gotten married

...moved in with my husband

...still work at the garden

...become a makeup enthusiast

...adopted another cat

...fallen in love with Eureka Springs, AR with a few trips there

...who knows what else.


Pictures of life lately

Ok I lied, they're mostly pictures of my wedding. But oh well! A couple were of makeup too. Oh and the cat we got. Her name's Malley.

I don't have much else to add right now. 

Maybe I'll see you later. 

Wedding Wednesday!

Oh geeeeee, I love talking about my wedding. I try really hard not to talk about it with people I know because I don't want to be that person. And I know I'm only getting started and the then stuff will just fall out of my mouth without even thinking about it.

Sometimes I'm so excited to plan a wedding and watch my beautiful marriage bloom, and others I'm just so worried about the actual planning part.

As much as I love Blake, he really doesn't help. I've gotten him to be serious about this about once. And we completely disagreed on what we should do.

It was all over the venue. He thought I was insane for wanting the venue I love but I feel it's very reasonable. Once I got him to go look at it and talk to the management he felt it was a good place too. However, he isn't 100 percent sold on it.

There are only two things I don't want to settle on. Our venue and our pictures. They are very high on my list of important things.

I'm sure we'll get it worked out though.

In happy exciting wedding stuff, I asked my sister to be one of the bridesmaids! Of course she said yes.

I've also gotten my dress and veil! I feel like some of the hardest stuff is over. I hear people say that shopping for their dress was the so stressful! I'm glad to not have to worry about it. I'm sad that I didn't get the experience with some of the people I wanted but my momma and Teagan were there. I love my dress. I want to wear it all the time. I haven't seen another dress that I like better than it!

I'm getting started on a guest list. I didn't realize we liked or knew so many people. I'm sure it will have to be cut because we don't want a huge wedding. I want a very intimate feeling. How did you decide who would be invited and who wouldn't? Any major rules I need to know about?

Only 367 days to go!

More Wedding Confessions

I'm finally getting to link up with the wonderful Kathy again! It feels like it's been a million years.

I suck at intros so let's just get to it.

- We set a date. Okay, we set two dates. Our first date happens to be the same weekend of a major festival in our town. Nobody misses Maple Leaf. NOBODY. And so we deicded that it was a bad idea. So that brings us to the date we have now. I will be a Mrs. on October 24, 2015!!!! I'm so excited. Eeep!!!!

- Some people (cough future in-laws) are driving me insane. They keep suggesting that we get married this year. Not suggesting really, more like demanding. No, not gonna happen. LET IT GO! They also keep suggesting other things we should do. I know they're excited, but damn. I'm trying to keep them involved but they have ideas on the opposite side of the spectrum then I do.

- Invitations are stupid. I don't care about the font or the other shit that has to go in them. Little details aren't my thing. Who has the time or energy to care about font? Or all the little cards that need to go inside them. And more than one envelope? The hell.

this is how I feel about the small things

- My most favorite confession of them all...I said yes to a dress!! It was complete accident. I went to David's Bridal to try and find and get some ideas for bridesmaids dresses and then I saw it. I knew I had to try it on. And when I put it on, I felt like the prettiest princess in all the land. I wanted to wear it every where and never take it off. I totally want to show you a picture but I can't. Because that will be when Blake decides to read this here blog!

- My first assisstant at DB sucked majorly. Apparently she didn't think I was being serious because she didn't keep any of the information she had for me. She didn't tighten the dress all the way up so I could see what it would truly look like. She also told me that they didn't have blush as a color option for other dresses. She was a lying bitch. I'm not disappointed though. Because when I went back later that night to buy it, I had a wonderful girl helping me who made me feel insanely special.

Are you tired of wedding talk yet? I hope not! Any stories about shop girls who were bitches for no reason? Let me hear em!

Wedding Confessions

Ahhh Wednesday. Nice to see you finally get here. It's been a long week. Since I've hardly blogged, I figured today would be the day to actually have some substance of some sort. And it's Wednesday so I'm linking up with Cathy. Duh

These confessions will be about weddings and whatnot today. I'm trying really hard not to talk about it too much but it's so hard not to.

- I don't get how people plan weddings. I'm serious. How do you even know where to start?

- I just want to wake up and have it all planned out for me just the way I like it. I'm too indecisive for all of this.

- This sounds selfish and bratty but I don't really care. I want our wedding to be what the ideal wedding of my dreams looks like, because I'm only doing this once. And I don't think that's it's actually possible to pull it off. I don't want it to be extravagant by any means but dammit, I want an elegant, classy affair. That is, until our friends get wasted and turn back into pumpkins their normal selves.

- I really just want to go dress shopping already. I'm the person who's planned their wedding for years and years. The dress will be beautiful. I haven't even attempted to shed some of my extra baggage I'm carrying around so I know it's not wise. Plus, we haven't even set a date so buying a dress right now would be silly.

And I'm also gonna link up with Amanda and Danae because Blake said the stupidest thing to me the other night.

I finally got him to talk about our wedding. And I started where one should obviously. I asked him what he thought our budget should be. He said relatively cheap. Well that's no help. So I said "what's relatively cheap to you because it might be different to me?" His reply....$2000. Yup, my lovely finace said he wants our wedding to be no more than $2000. Cue instant bratty attitude from me trying to explain to him how much we would have to spend on certain things if we had that budget. Like the fact that his tux could only cost $12. Or that, we only had $20 to spend on our rings. Lord help me. We may not be married for awhile.

- One more confession, if he sticks to this, we might just elope. Unfortunately. 

What A Crazy Weekend

It's Monday once again. Why does that keep happening? Anybody know how to stop Mondays from coming? Anybody??

My weekend was wonderful and crazy and exciting. Ok, it was more than that but I don't want to be here trying to think up some adjectives to describe it.

Friday night I was invited to a bonfire with Blake. I really really didn't want to go. But earlier in the week he went to a bonfire for me so of course I bitched and moaned to Sarah but we went. I invited a couple of girls I work with just to be on the safe side that I knew people that would be there.

We all hung out for awhile and had a great time. Then the unexpected happened.

Just a little warning that this video does look like it's terrible quality.

Sarah took it on her phone and sent it to me which fucked it up.

And there is some cussing. Woops!!

Yes, on that Friday night when I didn't want to go to a bonfire in any way, shape, or form, my amazing boyfriend proposed.

It was completely unexpected on my half! Everybody at the bonfire knew it was going down except for the two ladies I invited.

It's Monday now and I still think I'm in shock. I mean, I'm absolutely amazed and blown away, but still in shock for sure.

So there may be some gross sappy love posts coming this way soon. Like tomorrow. And I might have more details tomorrow. =)

See ya on the flipside!
