Wee Bit Wednesday

Hey Y'all! Hope you are having a great humpday!
It has been a stressful/fun week so far, I will explain more later, but 
for now it is time for Wee Bit Wednesday! if you don't already do this blog hop you should go on over and
check it out! I LOVE it! Course I am nerdy and love answering
questions when I am asked them :-)!



Question Time:
1) Scruffy or clean shaven? I like clean shaven personally, but would still think my fiance is sexy even if he was scruffy.
2) What's your favorite sundae topping? Hot fudge, yum now I want a Sonic sundae!
3) Do you own slippers? Yes I own a few pairs! I love slippers, I can't step out of the shower without them because I think of how clean my feet were and then walking on a dirty floor how much
dirt and hair and what not they are picking up since they are wet.
4) Did you ever have a tree house? Yes, I still do at my parents. I loved it. My grandpa and dad built it for me
I remember it well because I had the chicken pox when they were building it.
5) How do you relieve stress? I mostly cry and complain to someone. Sometimes I do some yoga or take a nice hot bath.
6) What's your favorite Dr. Seuss book? That is a hard one I love Dr. Seuss but probably the Cat in the Hat. Or the Lorax.
7) Have you ever taken dance classes? Yes, I miss taking them terribly. I took hip hop and jazz. I really only miss hip hop though. I wasn't very good at jazz.
8) Which do you use more: the thesaurus or the dictionary? When I actually use one probably the dictionary.
9) What's your favorite form of exercise? Soccer, yoga or sit-ups.
10) What's the longest you've ever waited in line? Um probably almost an hour and it was probably at DisneyWorld or some place like that. 

Yay for wee bit Wednesday! Oh how I have missed you! 
Anyway I will try and write more tonight to fill you in on some stuff that has been happening
but we have been registering for our wedding gifts
so if we go do that again tonight I may not have time to write more! So if not then
I will try and write tomorrow! 

Talk to you soon readers!

Honeymoon Honeymoon!

Hey everyone! I am so sorry I was a slacker again! I don't know how I keep doing that! I just get so exhausted by the end of the day I am too brain dead to type! But good news on the wedding front...the honeymoon is all BOOKED!!!!!!!!!! Let me tell you how big of a relief that was! The flights are booked! The vacation package is booked! We leave the evening after the wedding and are going to stay at Universal Studios Orlando for four nights! My Mom found a deal where you get to go to the new Harry Potter theme park early and have breakfast at the Three Broomsticks. And then we are staying at one of their on-site hotels so that will be great! We have never stayed there before but it will be nice and relaxing. We will have 3 full days there and then we leave on the 23rd and head up to Disney World for 10 days! We are staying at the Port Orleans Riverside hotel, I have never stayed there before I am excited! We are staying in a Magnolia Bend room, which means it is styled after Gone With The Wind Era! They have a carriage ride there so I am hoping we can do that! Our package includes all our meals mostly, except for in Universal, and so we get to start planning those! I am excited to do that because we get to reserve the dining online this time! Yes I am a nerd but I love planning it out! We also get those little pins to wear around that says we are celebrating our honeymoon so I am excited! YAY!!! So now that the honeymoon is done and most of the big wedding stuff is done maybe I can actually blog more! 

We are doing our food tasting tomorrow for the reception! We are trying steak, pork loin and chicken relleno. It should be yummy! We also get to see the linen set up and also the 2 different centerpiece options! So then once that is picked out we need to start working on the wedding invites. 

Then Saturday is my bridal shower! I will make sure to take some pictures! I am very excited! I can't wait! Plus I get to see all my friends! And my moose brother! Also get to watch lots of wedding movies and eat some fourth meal! And dress up! 

Sorry it is such a quick update but have some stuff need to get done will write more soon! :-) Hope I still have some readers out there!

So Sorry!

Hey guys! Whoever is still left! I am sooooo sorry I have been absent it has been one crazy week! Let me just say I am ready for the weekend and a drink! Good new soccer starts Sunday! I love soccer and it helps keep me in shape, of course it also gives me an awful shinguard/farmers tan that I can't have for the wedding! Anyway first game is against Septic Unicorns it was an intense game last time lets see how it is this time! 

We picked our cake lay for the wedding. I think she will do good she is a at home baker but she does really great fondant work so I am pretty happy. Plus it saved us some money. We are going to have some Disney theme to our cake, but in an elegant way! So I am pretty excited about that! Have had some stress getting it all done because another couple wanted our day so it was yet another quick decision. You would think after the cake that most of our big stuff would be done, which maybe most of it is but I still feel super stressed! Trying to figure out this honeymoon is about to drive me insane, I can't fit the trip into the price that his parents gave us and that is because it is Disney and June those two together = MOST EXPENSIVE TIME TO GO! Lucky us because all the awesome deals either end right before or start right after we are there. Well so I have been doing it so many different ways and getting confused and stressed on what to do if we don't have enough from his parents to cover it or not! So that is one thing. We finally I think have the pictures narrowed down for our signature guest book that I need to get turned into the photographer. We...well we were supposed to but it got down to just me going to David's Bridal to try on flower girl dresses with Adam's flower girl and finally pick one out since she grew and we couldn't do the one I wanted, however I do like the one we ended up picking it is cute. So then that was done, got the flower pins ordered for the girls dress, my alteration appointment set up, and texted my cousin for the other flower girl to inform her of the dress. Then on top of it I added another MOH to the wedding and then we added Adam's sister and her husband to the wedding party as a bm and a gm and then I added my cousin as a junior BM and then we have my other two cousins as ushers. So there somehow I have managed to almost fit everyone in the wedding somehow! Now we still need to register, send out invites, we need to do food testing, make place cards, programs, pick out favors, gifts, adams gift, our rings, the officiant, decorations, cake flavor and design, shoes, honeymoon, tan, get in shape, try out hair, pick out music, learn dance, write vows, omg and I am sure more so I am stressing the f out! Truly! Now this doesn't mean I don't love it I do but it is stressful!

On top of wedding stuff find out yesterday that our rent is going up to $823. Now we have a small one bedroom apartment where the hot water doesn't last long in the shower, where you have to park way in the middle of nowhere to park and I just think that is a little outrageous and if we go month to month it is $939! First off I could hardly afford out $778 rent! I really need to make more money, especially since I have a BA degree! But on top of thinking great now I have to somehow pay more rent all I can think of is I need to buy his ring, save up for bach party in vegas, save money for spending money for honeymoon, save up enough money to pay rent when get back from honeymoon since won't be getting paid for my time off for honeymoon. Not to mention groceries, gas, and life. I am just feeling the stress. And then of course I just sitting here complaining which I am sure is really what you guys were wanting to hear right! Oh well it will work out somehow! In the meantime I am going to be stressed and ready for a nice glass of alcohol this weekend, if not more than one!

Good new bridal shower in 1 week 2 days! Another good news get to see my moose brother in 1 week 2 days! 

I really need to work out! I had been doing so good for awhile! I just am never motivated to work out at home it just stinks! 

I realized last night just how much Pretty Woman is one of my favorite movies! It really is! I love it! I love Julia Roberts, not to mention those hot sexy thigh high boots I have wanted my whole life and then I have to admit I think Richard Gere is a sexy man. Anyway I told Adam that should be our Halloween costume, he the sexy business man and me the hooker turned classy although not sure I could pass up wearing the sexy boots! Anyway Julia Roberts has a pretty good toned body in that movie so maybe if I continuously watch it or something I will be motivated to work out. I mean I really do want to be in shape I just have no motivation! 

Well I guess I should stop for now! I will try and write another one tonight if possible and I not having a panic attack curled up on the floor crying ha ha! Anyway I joined up with Thursday Blog Hop at Every Day Products and More! You should check it out! I am sad that I missed my wee bit of me Wednesday blog hop! I still might answer the questions though for fun! 

Oh on a P.S. note I have read 5 of my 25 books to read this year goal, I am thinking slight chance can do more but with the wedding I am not sure. I finished The Emperor's Tomb, which is not one I typically read but I really enjoyed it! I will be reading the rest of the series, and in order this time. I am starting The Boleyn Inheritance by Phillipa Gregory she is great you should check her out. I also need to finish my  Sookie novels and also the Bride Quartet novels by Nora Roberts, but that will have to wait till I have money! Adios for now!

Blog Hop Thursday & Etsy Finds Combined!

Hey guys! Yay it is Thursday just one more day till Friday and then the weekend! So last night was dinner with Adam's Mom. It was the first time we had been to her new house, since we helped her paint it. It was a lot of fun! We had a great dinner of some yummy chicken and salmon! We got to talk about the wedding and the we got to look through some boxes of stuff she didn't want and we found some awesome things! Of course we have to leave them there because we have no room in our small apartment but we have them waiting for us when we get a bigger place! So something to look forward to! Trust me I am always looking forward to it, especially a bigger kitchen!!! Then we also found some of Adam's old boxes that had his money collection that he just had to get his hands on because it had pesos in it. He claims some homeless guy gave him a bag with a bunch of pesos in it, we both thought he was a little crazy lol. I mean come on when you were little would you take a bag from a homeless guy?! Then we also found some of his old school work and awards! It was cute! I said we could make it into a scrapbook! 

I am linking up today with Menopausal New Mom for Thursday Friends Cafe Blog Hop! You should hop on over there and check it out!

And also with Living on Love and Cents for Traveling Through Thursday blog hop! I couldn't get the button to show up but definitely go check it out!!



So I thought that I would do another version of my Etsy finds! And today's theme is going to be all about weddings! Yes last time I didn't have a theme but this time I do :-). 

 So I know you are probably thinking how is this wedding? Well in my mind imagine you want a vintage wedding or say you want a circus themed wedding or carnival or just something
different to have at your wedding I would say this is it. 
I mean why not slip it into your invites and then people can bring this with them to the wedding as a way to get in or something. This can be found at Vintagebliss!
I thought this was such a cute idea! This can be found at Bosheree08! 
 Not gonna lie I kinda wanna do this at my wedding now! I want to have these props at my tables with a digital camera and then people can take pictures! I mean what
a great idea right?! They can be found here Funny Side of Life!
I just think these are so adorable and such a great idea to hang on the back of the 
bride and groom chair! Check them out and more here ArmyMOMOfTwins!
Okay first thing I thought of when I saw this is Pheobe in Friends telling Ross that Rachel is her Lobster! 
Sometimes Adam and I say that to each other! It is adorable!
Garden4Arts has so many cute cake toppers!

Okay those are all for now! I want to save more for my Etsy wedding part too sometime! Of course how can you run out of Etsy stuff to like?! Well off I go! Tonight we are eating dinner with my parents :-)!
