Weekend Recap

Congrats to the winner of the Mr. and Mrs. Wooden Wedding Sign: Bernadine!

Hey everyone! Hope you are all having a wonderful Monday morning!  I am co-hosting with Bella from Dateless in Dallas for our Weekend Recap! 

Oh my gosh, so my friend last week sends me this e-mail.  I remember seeing something similar last year around my girlfriends wedding, but people are still doing it:
 

 Let's just say I promise you will NOT be seeing us do this. Ha!
But enjoy a little laugh this morning!

Last week I took in my dress for its final preparation!  What they do is press your dress to make it look absolutely perfect!  I will pick it up in a few weeks!

 

Friday evening I worked on some wedding planning. Can you believe our wedding is now only 12 days away!  Insane!  I already started packing for the wedding, getting things put together in boxes, organizing and whatnot.

  It was a very productive Friday for me!  I needed it!

Saturday was my girlfriends baby shower.  I spent the morning cleaning up and organizing my wedding planner so it didn't look like chaos, and then got ready for the day.  Her shower started around 2 pm and I arrived shortly after.  It was such a cute theme--Welcome to the Jungle.  So adorable.  This wasn't any ordinary shower.  It was co-ed so there was a keg of course and plenty of booze.  The best part- she had a taco guy.  Most amazing thing ever!  Always my favorite.  I am pretty sure I consumed about twenty tacos.  So bomb.  We ended up leaving around 10:30.. yea.. have you ever been to a baby shower and stayed over 8 hours? That's what happens when booze is involved.  We went home and crashed.

This was the best photo he took... yea.. whats with guys hating photos?

Sunday I ran some errands with my mom.  We found a guestbook pen and grabbed breakfast.  We also found out the people moved out of our home we just bought-- which means we can move in-- of course after we clean and check it out!  so excited!

Also if you have not entered the Giveaway that ends today, you can do so here.

We Are Featured...

It's always so nice to be featured on a website.  As of today, we are featured on our photographers website, our coordinators blog, and I am 
featured on my best friends makeup website!   It's almost like we are famous! (I kid, I kid... only in my dreams of course)

I also stumbled across our engagement photos on Pinterest, and came to find out that our photos have been re-pinned so far 2,284 times!!! That's insane!!! I am so happy that many people love them as much as we do! 

Only 15 more days until I am a Mrs.!

Hey all! Hope you had the most wonderful weekend! I co-hosting yet another weekend recap with the fabulous Bella from Dateless in Dallas.  I had a pretty eventful weekend for once.

Friday my fiance, myself, and one of his friends started our night downtown.  We ordered nachos and had a few beers until my girlfriend met up with us. We had too much fun! I had to leave my car in the parking structure until we sobered up- so we came at 5am to grab my car and head home!

 

Saturday I slept in till eleven.  It felt so good to sleep in for once!  I got my swim suit on to lay out.  I ended up falling asleep and getting slightly burned! That's what I get! (My sweet parents dog pictured) I ended up showering after a few hours to get ready for the night.  I went out with my girlfriends from high school.  We had too much fun getting the usual BJ's restaurant, and shop at a cute clothing store, and of course beers were in the mix!  We were pretty mellow and ended the night early. Which I needed since I was hungover.

Sunday I went with my mom to whole foods.  *Cue Whole Foods Song*  
 

We literally spent 2 hours in there, trying to figure out what we should get for dinner.  Ladies, do not- I repeat- do NOT go hungry!  Toughest decision we have had to make in a long time.  We finally decided on marinated kabobs, au gratin potatoes, and asparagus.  So delicious.  We also stopped by Trader Joes. Another fav!  My mom and I grabbed some lunch too and head home.  Later on we BBQ'd the Kabobs and have a few Coronas and watched a few movies that were on TV.  Another mellow day, but such a fabulous weekend.

How did you spend your weekend?

19 more days till the big day!! COUNTDOWN!
