Twelve days ago, I reached a pinnacle in my life that I had never given much thought to in the past… I turned 31. After 21 it seemed like the next big milestone was 30, but 30 came and went as I waddled my 7 months pregnant frame from place to place. Though 31 isn’t…

Do You Know What Today Is?
It’s my anniversary and I can truthfully say the last year has flown by. One year ago, the torrential rain ruined my plans for a beautiful outdoor wedding, but couldn’t detract from the beauty of the day itself. Ironically, today also started off with a downpour so if rain on your wedding day is good…
Showered with Love
The last few days have been extremely eventful! Thursday was my 30th birthday, Friday was my baby shower at work and Saturday was my outside of work baby shower. These events offered the boost of energy I needed to propel me into the last month or so of pregnancy. Never in a million years did…

Today I’m in a reflective mood which is fitting since today is Thursday, a perfect day for throwbacks from the past.

You’ve Got Mail
It’s always exciting to get mail, especially when it’s an invitation to a big event like a wedding! When we began looking at wedding invitations I had a nonchalant attitude toward my planning journey. I thought of invitations as a necessary evil that I just wanted to purchase and send out. My apathy was showing…
Countdown to 2015
As I countdown to 2015, I’m filled with excitement and anxiety because I know I’m getting married this year! Even though my date is less than 5 months away, when you’re in a different year it seems like you have so much time. I’ve been planning for the last several months since my engagement and…
So it begins….
Right now there are 8 months, 21 days, 7 hours and 55 minutes until my wedding…but who’s counting? Looking at the numbers, it seems like a long time away, but when I think back to the night that I was proposed to, the last 6 months have flown by! Speaking of proposals… Mine was romantic,…
