Engagements!

My wonderful sister Jodie took our engagements with the awesome camera that Colby and I bought. We edited a couple of them before we sent them out but there are some on here that I just love that we didnt put in our invitations. I love this first one- it's such a funny picture because Colby does the whole squish face kiss thing in pictures sometimes but it usually doesnt turn out cute. I always look like I am disgusted at him or really surprised so I was so happy when this one turned out actually kind of cute! I can't wait to get our wedding pictures back!















Bridal Shower!!

A little late getting this up but these are pics from my bridal shower that my wonderful bridesmaids Jamie and Brooke threw for me. It was super cute, Brooke had her amazing salsa there and Jamie had the most bomb diggity treats ( hello brownies with tiffany blue icing on them and awesome funfetti cupcakes) Maria got to come before she got married and moved away to Pennsylvania yay! I got some amazing things and realized how well my friends know me and my love for wine haha.



Thanks for the shower Ladies! I loved it!!

Work People!
See the yummy treats?!?!?!

engagements and interior decorating


We took some engagements this past week- they turned out pretty cute! sidenote-- I hate when you are trying to work with the natural light and its not cooperating! Also, trying to walk around in a field with a dress on...NOT A GOOD IDEA. I got little sticker things all over me. Lately since we have had our couch--ourWHOLEsectional I should say (angry fist raise in R.C. Willey's name) I have become obsessed with decorating our house, which for the most part it is decorated but not everything is painted. What we do have painted we did ourselves and I think thats why we are so worn out on painting.... it sucks! Wealso have rounded corners in our house too which makes painting just one area very difficult. I just hate looking at white walls and thinking "ugh the house looks like its not finished" Same goes for our bedroom, the "clutter" just makes it look messy and not like the pictures in magazines. I know, I know what you are all thinking- no house looks like the pictures in the magazines without tons of money. But now I am on a quest! to make our house look amazing without the amazing price tag. We have made it look a lot differentthanwhen we first bought it but its still a work in progress.These are the updates on what we have done so far.. you like?

The kitchen before...

The kitchen after....
I will keep you all updated on how its going.. we are a little farther than this now because these were taken when we first moved in about 3 months ago.

Wedding Crunch


So I am at about 59 days or so until our big day... Holy cow do I feel like the walls are caving in on me! Wedding planning is a full time job, especially if you are me. I am somewhat of a perfectionist so every little thing has to be planned down to the smallest detail (please give a pat on the back to my soon-to-be husband, he has his work cut out for him) I decided to take classes this summer- why? because I like torture. I am also working full-time, again I love me some torture. We reserved the tuxedos the other day- victory yell- WOOT WOOT! they are going to look so good. Colby's mom Stef found a screaming deal on the ones I wanted, beautiful. My wonderful bridesmaid Jamie Lynne searched, found, and ordered the most adorable shoes for all the bridesmaids. I got to see them with a final look on Baylee this weekend (spoiler- the bridemaids are going to look fantastic!!! but thats no surprise really) Now I need to find a monogram cake topper that doesnt cost one hundred dollars, any ideas? We are taking our engagements sometime this week with the help of my wonderful sister. I don't know how some brides can plan a wedding in less than nine months- that is how much time I have had and I have needed every day! I can't wait to marry my boo, I wish for his sake we would have just gotten married on the beach because I think my wedding stress is carrying over to him! haha poor guy!
