Sneak Peak!!

The wedding is finally over and I seriously could not be happier the way everything played out.  Everything was seriously perfect....well just about everything.  There were a few things that could have played out differently but when it is all said and done I am completly happy with our wedding. I got to marry my best friend, the man I will share the rest of my life with and that makes everything worth it.

Since I dont have all of our professional pictures back I can just share with you a couple sneak peeks from out big day. 
The love I felt radiating from everyone that day was undescribable. I remember reading several blogs about just sitting back and relaxing and taking the moment in.  I specifically remember making myself do this at dinner. I just finished scarfing down our wonderful BBQ that was catered by All-Star Catering in Willis, TX. If your in the area and looking for a Caterer you cannot go wrong with them. Everyone told us how amazing the food was, and seriously you never hear that at weddings!!

I sat there in my seat on stage next to my handsome husband and just looked across the room at everyone, at everything and just took a deep breath in to take it all in.  I thought, this is really happening, this is the day I have waited for the last 400 plus days. This is the moment every bit of my hard work, heart and soul has poured into and this moment has arrived.  People were chating about the room, people smiling, laughing and my heart was over filled with joy.  The joy I never know if I will experience like that again.

That is what I need to be doing but I cant.  All I want to do today is sleep.  Curl up in my big bed with my fur-babies and my honey, to cuddle and sleep.  Are any other brides out there lacking focus leading up to your wedding.  All I want to do is just not worry about anythign for a while.  Working out, work, cooking, cleaning, nothing.  I just wanna be lazy for a little bit and do completely nothing but honestly I just dont have the time to do nothing.  I still have a few things left on my to do list for the month and I hope I can knock a couple things out this weekend.  That being said, it would be so nice to just lay around and lounge all day Saturday.

My work focus is completely shot lately.  I have no motivation to even be there let alone try to work and be there.  All I keep day dreaming about is weddings, invitations, planning, etc.  I am hoping that this will be my fuel once the wedding is over. 

Ring "Bear" Pillow

A little boy was in a relative’s wedding.

As he was coming down the aisle, he would take two steps, stop, and turn to the crowd.

While facing the crowd, he would put his hands up like claws and roar.

So it went, step, step, ROAR, step, step, ROAR, all the way down the aisle.

As you can imagine, the crowd was near tears from laughing so hard by the time he reached the pulpit.

When asked what he was doing, the child sniffed and said,

“I was being the Ring Bear.”

This reminds me how cute kids can be as well as the darnest things they can say.  I am so excited that my precious nephew will be my Ring "bear" as I now like to call it.  He is super excited too.  I recently completed his pillow and took it over to show him.  I have to admit he pretty much knew exactly what to do with it.  He held it upright and just walked around with it.  He will be a cuttest little ring "bear" ever.

Here is an inspiration picture I got for my pillow since I knew there was no way I could afford it.  I decided to do my own:

ETSY

My sister was kind enough to give me her old pillow but i mostly just used it for the shape and the filling.  I completely re did it and this is how mine turned out.

I am pretty happy with the results.  As it matches the look were going for a little more so than the Etsy one does.  But a little inspiration never hurts anyone, right?

So ladies, tell me.  Are you going to DIY your pillow and do you plan on having a Ring "Bear" roar his way down your aisle as well?

Where Is The Time Going?

Like Seriously?   We are at 88 days out now. I cannot believe we are less than 3 months away until we are married.   Like MARRIED, as in my name will not be what is was, is, today!  That is just Crazy!!

Thanksgiving was amazing this year!  It was so nice to finally have our boys home- Aaron and Bubba.  I mean the holidays without them just aren't the same.  We did everything up big this year.  Had 3 turkeys, tons of pies, and cookies, and sweets galore!  All the trimmings, mashed potatoes, yams, green bean casserole (my favorite) deviled eggs!  You name it, it was on the table. 

I even made some tasty homemade rolls I found off of pinterest.  They were superb!!  Everyone loved them so much I wish I grabbed two!  When I went back for a second the only thing left were those yucky freeze rolls my step-mom bought.  Bleeeh!  I even had everyone write a couple things that they were thankful for and then wrapped them up inside.  It was a hoot for everyone to try to figure out who wrote what.  I think my favorite one was from my brothers girlfriend Rachel

                          

  "I am thankful that people here know what they are doing, and how to cook because I don't have a clue!!" 

Needless to say it was a fun day- that and I got a ton!  I mean a TON of flowers done for the wedding.  Wanna see??

That's just about half of them.  I ended up making 176 flowers with 2 days combined!  oooohhhh Yea!!

So now I think I am at about 400 flowers total.  My lovely Christineebeanie is helping me out too and I heard she had a flower making party the eve of Thanksgiving.  I love that everyone is helping to contribute to my fabric flower craze!  I promise that whoever helped, wherever you are I will help you in anyway with whatever you need after the wedding!  Scouts honor!

So other than my flower craze I haven't really worked on anything wedding related.  I feel that everything is coming along nicely and I wish I could just sit back and relax but I know that is not the case.  I still have quite a bit to do.  And with Christmas around the corner now I really don't want to do anything wedding related.  I want to spend gobs of money at Hobby Lobby decorating our house, but I know I can't.  :( hurmmmmph!

So instead I am trying to focus my time on losing this last 10 pounds.  Damn you thanksgiving and your deliciousness for putting me back a good 3 pounds.  That means extra gym time for me!!

Aaaaaand... I am trying to focus on being a better wife, I mean future wife.  You know its bad when the FI is telling you he is out of underwear!  I know I know, I just loathe Laundry!  Can't there be a pretty little laundry fairy that takes care of that for us daydreaming brides?  Hey, a girl can dream!



99 Days to go and Invites are out!!!

Alright Ladies and Gents!  We are officially 99 days out, can you belive it?  Wow, holy smokes where did the last year go?  We still have quite a bit to do but we are wrapping everything up nicely in a pretty little bow.  Invites are out so be expecting them in the mail anytime now.
