Justin and I at lunch on Sunday

 

 

Thinking about- How happy I will be when it's the weekend again. I have to get my taxes done on Saturday (boooring) but then I'll have plenty of time to do whatever! 

Reading- the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris...I wasn't sure I'd like these books, but I've been borrowing them from my friend Amanda and now I'm hooked! I'm on the seventh one (All Together Dead) and don't want the series to end

Listening to- Muse, Lumineers, and maybe a little Taylor Swift now and then.

Looking forward to- Our friend Kristin is having a baby girl in July and Justin and I are going to be godparents! I can't wait to have a little niece to babysit and spoil. It'll be good practice for when we have one of our own in a few years.

Watching- Lately it's been Gilmore Girls. I never actually watched the show when it was on tv, but it's so good! 

Making me happy- how it's finally getting dark outside later, hearing birds singing, neon colors, pretty nail polish, my hair getting longer, Crest whitestrips, reading in the bathtub every night, statement necklaces, ordering things online and cupcakes.

Wedding planning galore!

Only 8 months to go until Justin and I get married! We plan to tie the knot sometime in October, hopefully the exact date will be set this weekend when we book our venue for the ceremony and reception.

 

Since I'm in full wedding planning mode these days, I thought it'd be fun to share some of my inspiration for the big day. I've been Pinterest-ing like a mad woman and I have so many things I want to incorporate, it's kind of crazy!

 

 

I would love to have a photo like this taken before the wedding!

This would be a nice way to have a cake and cupcakes at the same time.

I have a little suitcase that would be perfect for collecting cards...of course I'd make the inside all pretty instead!

So many balloons!

What a sweet idea, we could have something like this next to the guestbook.

It would be so pretty to line the aisle we walk down with these...purple flowers though!

Everything about this is perfection.

Back to my planning, have a great week everyone!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



It's almost Valentine's Day

(not sure what's up with the formatting on this post, I keep trying to fix it and Blogger isn't letting me...that's why the fonts look all weird)

and because we're getting married later this year, I thought it'd be fun to share how Justin and I met and got to where we are now!

So back in 2009 I was going to school for art and taking what were called 'foundations' classes. One of the classes was 3D Concepts, where we had to make sculptures out of things. There were two guys that sat next to me, and they were always talking to each other and generally acting like fools. The one wasn't all that interesting, but the other caught my attention. His name was Justin. We agreed to go to lunch together at Pita Pit after class one day.

I had just gotten out of a relationship, and Justin still had a girlfriend at the time. We continued to hang out as friends for a few month. Then he told me he had broken up with his girlfriend and did I want to go on an actual date? Of course I did!

From then on we were inseparable. He came with me to family holidays....

   

 

We celebrated birthdays together (this was the year my birthday theme was 'Tacky Tea Party' not sure what I'm doing but yes, Justin is wearing a skirt)

 We dated for a little over a year and then got engaged on October 15, 2010. It was such an amazing day!

We decided to have a long engagement because I was still in school at the time. So life went on, only now we were (and still are!) engaged. 

 

Now here we are today! The wedding will be in October of this year, and of course I will have a post dedicated to that when the time comes.

 

I'll leave you with this gem of a photo.

 

 

If that doesn't say true love, I don't know what does!

Coffee Talk

Today I've decided to answer a few questions from Coffee Talk over at 23Seventeen!

 

 

http://23seventeen.blogspot.com/search/label/coffee%20talk

 

1. Do you drink the milk after eating cereal or do you dump it out?

 

I usually drink it, unless it's a cereal that makes the milk taste weird.

2. Do you share drinks/food?

 

Only if I'm done and I want Justin to finish it. I'm kind of a germphobe and don't like anyone touching my food.

 

 3. How often do you replace your toothbrush?

 

After few months, or sooner if it's looking worn out.

 

4. How often do you wash your hair?

 

Every other day, unless I'm going to wear it down two days in a row.

5. Do you use a dishwasher or do you hand wash your dishes?

 

Hand wash because our current house doesn't have a dishwasher. I don't mind it all that much....unless there are a million things to wash.

Rants, Raves and Randoms #2!

Just like last time, this post is inspired by the ones Andrea does over at Left Brain, Right Brain, Pug Brain!

Rants

~ I hate winter.  As I'm typing this, my phone tells me it is -5 degrees outside. Yeah. I've never been more envious of people who live in warmer places.

~ Tomorrow is inventory at work. This means I get to stand by my department all day while people count and shout at me to come find prices for things. 

~ I got 4 inches cut off my hair a few weeks ago and now I wish I hadn't. I want it long again! In the meantime, I will be using my straightening iron to make it appear longer.

 

Raves

~ My Pinterest addiction is back in full force! Expect a new Pinterest Lovelies post in the near future!

~ I am loving this nail color that I found at Maurices. It's the perfect shade of teal!

~ This photo I found of my grandparents when they were young. Aren't they adorable?!

  

Randoms

~ Lately I've been obsessed with the idea of going running. Never mind that I've never been a runner, nor can I run more than a block without getting dizzy and winded. But I keep telling myself that if I got pretty running shoes, I'd actually do it. We'll see....

~ This one day I had a song I liked in my head. I told my sister the lyrics and she's like "You know that's One Direction, right?"  No, I didn't. Apparently I have the music taste of an 11 year old. FML. I suppose this means I'm going to have to like Bieber now too.

~ I've been saying it for months, but I want a puppy! Or a kitten! I haven't had a pet in such a long time and I miss it. If anyone needs a pet sitter, I'm your girl!     

 

Because I can't sleep

Today seemed like it dragged on FOREVER but it's finally done! Normally I like my job but today...I don't know what the deal was. Unnecessary drama makes me mad, I'll just leave it at that.

Also I feel like I'm catching a cold, so there's that. I suppose I shouldn't be too surprised, what with everyone around being sick, but still.

Tomorrow I plan to have a grand old day doing whatever I please, to make up for the stupidity of today. There shall be much Degrassi watching and magazine reading. Time for bed now, gotta have energy for my busy day of awesome.
