Welcome to the good life.

It was a great night on The Office. And a bit of a tear jerker...

More the come later!

Stephanie...what have you been doing for the last 4 months?

1. Not blogging :(
2. Getting married in less than a year!
3. Baby brother graduated high school
4. A good friend had a beautiful baby girl
5. Celebrated my 23rd birthday with friends
6. Started a new (and much better) job
7. Cheered Jon on in his cycling races!
8. Barely scrapbooked
9. Went to Texas...once to see friends and once for business
10. Decided to move to Texas next year

I think that sums up the last four months....hopefully my new post comes sooner!

hit me baby one more time.

There is nothing I love more then Easter flowers

And pink and green sprinkled cupcakes

Spending Easter with my two families. And watching kids hunt for eggs.

Pomegranate vodka. Enough said.

Long, sunny days together

A new job...thank God.

And seeing Britney Spears in concert...not once, but twice!

let them eat cake.

And chocolate covered marshmallows. The bridal show at Newport Dunes was amazing....and delicious. Tons of people to talk to about flowers, photography, music, and cake. Wonderful.

We were able to see the wedding sites set up. I did a practice walk down the gazebo aisle...yes, I can picture that moment already.

We are a little concerned about it being chilly in April on the bay...trying to remember we can not control the weather. Hopefully its not too cold.

I actually completed a sample invitation and rsvp card. I forgot how cool it is to emboss and actually do something with paper.

Can't wait to catch up with you and you. Long over due.  

hello saturday

I sure love Saturday mornings.

Currently working on putting an invitation together. Dusting off the ol' embossing gun. I need to see how difficult this whole process is going to be. Thank you Paper Source for the inspiration. And I will be sending a sample to her.

We are visiting the Dunes again to check out the wedding sites.
And I am in LOVE with this wedding cake...with limes instead of oranges.

Good photo inspiration here.

Happy Palm Sunday.

hello blogland.

It's been awhile! I have been a bad blogger!

-I have fallen in love with limes.

- Ate at Red Robin...Jon got me hooked on the whiskey bbq wrap. Yum!
- I have also become obsessed with Jamba Juice. Strawberry Nirvana with granola. Mouth watering and inspiring.
- Went to Fashion Island. It still warms my heart. Just like him.

- New Juicy earrings (thanks babe!)
- Work is cramping my style.
- We have our first wave of wedding drama. And it has been bad and unexpected from my family. I sure hope everyone can remember that this wedding is about us.
- Jon's parents brought us a little Easter plant and a bottle of champagne to cheer us up

- Love this song.
- Bake banana nut muffins this week. Totally feeling domestic.

- Yard House tomorrow night.
- Going to a bridal shower this weekend...very excited!
- In love with springtime and these long warm days.

happy st. patricks day.

But why?

Ceremony...why do you have to be so beautiful?
Seriously...no more wedding stuff for tonight. My mind is fogged with numbers, colors, and names.
I love planning. In fact, I have waited quite some time to plan. And I am going to enjoy every moment of it.
But, right now...I need Millionaire Matchmaker and hot tea.

Good night!

it was sort of like love at first sight.

We finally went to see the last site on the wedding list. The Pacific Edge is a hotel in Laguna Beach. It was really beautiful. The sand literally came right up to the wall. Its a large house...three stories...with a pretty balcony. As much as we loved the beach being right there, it just was not right for us.

We had to take our picture. I have insisted on taking a picture of us at every spot...even if they do all look the same.

We have decided that we love the Franciscan Gardens. There is something so charming and romantic about it. Love at first sight.

 

All we need to do now is book it!

Bought these bad boys on sale this weekend.

Its time to get back into working out. Consistently. Something that I definitely struggle with.

Hope everyone is having a good Monday.
