 Thank you for reading my blog! Good luck on the giveaway and I hope you come back and visit my blog again in the future!

Let the crazy begin!

    Wednesday I start summer term. I am only taking 8 credits so I didn't figure it would be too crazy THEN I found out that it is a 11 week course crammed into just 8 little weeks... AHHH and on top of that both of my 4 credit 4 hour classes are BOTH on Wednesday!

    I will be at Chemeketa from 1pm to 10pm with a short break in between classes... What was I thinking?

    So while I am hoping to have time to post I may not have as much time as I would like to devote to my blog. BUT I will try to post at least once a week!

    Thursday I will be posting a GIVEAWAY! So keep your eyes peeled for that! I have another vendor spotlight I am working on! If you missed the last one I posted you should check it out Here! 

    Ok now I will post what you are all really here for! So Remember my post that I cut the guest list down to 130 and we would be able to have the wedding at my aunts amazing property?)I cant even remember if I blogged about this but if I didn't you now know!) 

     Well that is not working out my nice lovely cut down guest list spiraled out of control.... We are now thinking it is going to be 170 guests but I will be able to have it at Historic Deepwood Estates! YAY! Now we just need to book them! If you don't know about Historic Deepwood Estates you can check my post about them out here Just ignore the part about the bowling alley..

 I am still dead set on having snow cones at the wedding and I will not budge on my Gerber Daisies! I love my short Ouma dress with its layer of tulle and amazingness! But my pretty lace mermaid dress will not be making an appearance at the wedding *Sad face* (the giveaway win)

     Why you ask well lets just say the dress is too short and makes me look like a potato. The straps are too short making the bodice sit at a strange spot on my chest and it just gets worse from there with no figure, loose dress everywhere but my bum, itchy and basically it is not worth all of the changes that would have to be made to make this dress wearable... So I will keep with my amazing Ouma dress
    Now I want to know what is going on with you guys! Where are you in the wedding planning? And how many more days to go? 417 more LONG LONG days for me to go, but I couldn't be more excited! and Remember keep an eye out for a pretty awesome giveaway that will be posted THURSDAY!

     I have been looking around for those AMAZING bridal hangers that you see just about everywhere when I came across Wish Upon a Starfish on Etsy!

Our Save The dates!

    As I mentioned in a previous post I WON FREE SAVE THE DATES from magnet street! I mean how exciting is that!
   So here is a picture of our Save The Date Magnets! I have to say I love them! But don't mind my crappy paint job. I love all you readers but I feel like I share enough of the wedding with you on the blog I kinda want the website for just the invited guests!

   So I had a hard time picking out what invites to choose there are so many options on just about every site that it makes choosing just one a lot of work! I looked threw the pages of magnets until I saw this one and I loved the bright colors and that it was a little fun, but I have to admit that I did have about 10 other tabs open of other save the dates that I liked.
   But I love that fact that they are magnets people can just throw them on their fridge and not just get thrown away! or shoved in a drawer some place!
    Have you ordered your save the dates yet? If yes How did you choose yours, and If no what are you looking for in a save the date?

Hello Everyone!

     I have been MIA for awhile and I am sorry for that! BUT I have some exciting news! Juan and I have Officially saved the date! YAY! August 17th, 2013 Save the dates are even ordered (I will have another blog post for that later on BUT how exciting!
     I have been OBSESSED with entering wedding giveaways lately and it has paid off I WON A WEDDING DRESS! How exciting is that! For her and for him was doing a giveaway for any mermaid dress on their website and I WON!
     I am sure you want to find out what dress I choose right? Well I am happy to share BUT I do not have any pictures of me in the dress yet... As of I wont have the dress for another month so the stock photo will have to do for now!
    I am going to try to start blogging again I really am sorry I went MIA on all of you BUT things have been a little crazy because I WENT BACK TO SCHOOL! Yes this girl is a college student! Even though it took me 4 years to go back I am glad I finally did! So now I have the craziness of being a mom, going to school, and planning a wedding. It is exhausting lol.
   I hope everyone is doing good! Please comment with  what you have been up to while I have been away! Looking forward to reading those comments!

I bought a dress without trying it on!

   The title says it all! Yes I feel like I am just a little crazy right now. How could I buy my wedding dress without trying it on?

   I fell in love with a dress! I found it on Etsy, if you haven't checked out Etsy before run don't walk over to check out all of the amazing items and sellers!

   The seller I got my dress from is Ouma. I bought the Allison! Tea Length, strapless sweet heart neckline, and a pretty sash it was everything that I was looking for in a dress! And actually my original dress inspiration that I lost and finally found when I wasn't looking . 

    I wont be getting the dress for another 5-6 weeks but I will post pictures when it comes! 

   But now I have a question would you buy a wedding dress without trying it on? Or am I crazy? And what has your Etsy experience been like? (If you cant tell I love Etsy!)

Christmas tradition

    Every one I know has Holiday Traditions, Doesn't matter if you have a tradition of a huge Christmas morning with presents and stocking or eating pizza and Chinese food on Christmas eve to get out of cooking. Traditions are part of your holiday for some reason or another.
    So now let me tell you about the little tradition I am starting with my little family! So ever sense my oldest daughters first Christmas (this year will be her 5th) We always wrapped up new Pajamas to open up Christmas eve and wear that night of course. Not only do I do it with my children, But it is something my mom did with us when we were little!
There is nothing better than new PJs! And It makes sure that the Little ones are not going to pick out their favorite (and very well worn) PJs To wear and to have lots and lots of pictures taken of them!
    For my oldest Ellie I bought her some panda Pjs. Not the ones pictured but I hate making posts without pictures so I found a pair of Panda Pjs on Google image. (I would post my own pictures but my usb went MIA and I am having a hard time finding it) She a lot like her mommy (Ms.Panda) Loves Pandas. So when I saw Panda Pjs I had to grab them right away!

    For my little one Emma I got her some Hello Kitty PJs. Hello Kitty is a pretty big deal in our house. Ellie even has a hello kitty bike! But with not being able to find much in Emma's size Hello Kitty related I knew she would love having her own Hello Kitty clothes!
   So now you know one of our Family traditions I would love for you to share one of your Family Traditions in a Comment!
