Wedding Workouts!

I'm 4'10" & I weigh 118lbs, I'm miniature sized! Lol

My wedding dress is strapless, a corset back, & technically a size too small. However, it only needs to be alerted in two places. Obviously since I'm almost little person status, it needs to be hemmed. The hips need to be brought in. Otherwise, it fits like a glove.

Wedding dresses are incredibly unforgiving & back fat isn't cute :)

I have two months before the alteration process needs to begin. Think we'll do the hemming first. After that we can do the hips & the bustle.

I'm starting my workout routine two days a week for an hour. I don't smoke cigarettes much anymore (once every couple weeks) & I basically got rid of soda (except when I forget & order a coke). I'm not really a junk food kind of girl anyway. 64oz of water. I'm going to kick my ass into wedding dress shape! This shouldn't be too hard since I'm not to far gone.

I'll be celebrating the final year of my 20's on Friday...

Between mommy things, wedding planning, & the crazy mad Spring rush at work, I wasn't expecting anything fancy for this birthday...

Boy did I underestimate my sweet fiance

♡

He came home today with a present!

I got an Opal & Diamond tennis bracelet!

Opal is B's birthstone.

He's so sweet & thoughtful. I'm such a lucky girl! September can't get here fast enough :D

I Found My Dress

Dress shopping with 2 of your 4 bridesmaids is fantastic, but it's still not enough people to corral a 2 1/2 yro. BMad had a good time. I'm exhausted. I'm really excited! Only things left are wedding party attire and the cake. Last but not least, B's "princess" (flower girl) dress. I think I'm going to get her a crown :) ♡♥♡

Holy crap. I'm getting married. I'm going to be a wife. So weird. It's like it's all finally sinking in.

*cue happy dance*

This is all so strange to me. Happily Ever After wasn't in the stars for me. I was told I was trash & unlovable. I had gotten to a point I was ok with the idea that I was going to be alone. I was content with it being just BMad & me.

Then comes along Thomas...

I didn't know this goofy guy from Ohio was everything I could've asked for.

Everything I didn't know I needed.

(Crap, this blog is going to make me cry.)

He makes me crazy & he makes me laugh.

He loves B like he's been here since her 1st breath. She loves him. They're absolutely partners in crime. Mischievous; those two.

He just fits. He did from the beginning. We knew it felt right. I fought it. He jumped in head first & then dragged me in with him.

Here we are :)

Happy is a weird place for me, but I like it.

We Have a Date!

There has now been a giant weight lifted off of my chest! We have a venue & a date.  We still have almost 5 months & everything is pretty much done! I'm so excited!

Btw Weddingwire.com is fabulous! I started with TheKnot.com, but ww is more user friendly.

Bridal appt next week!

All the pieces are falling into place ♡

Flowers

Every woman loves flowers & loves to get them.

That being said I've never received flowers as often as I get them from Thomas.

Part of the reason I knew he was a keeper; he's never bought me just plain, boring, easy roses.

He buys me flowers just because.

He even brings them to work sometimes ♡

Flowers - A.D.D.

Which leads me to wedding flowers...

Decisions, decisions

Orchids, lilies, & ....

This is why I need a florist's help! I'm so indecisive!

Look up my friend's flower shop!

Wedding Things

We have an officiant, a photographer, a wedding party, a florist, & we've narrowed our search to 2 venues.

We did 10 hrs of wedding stuff yesterday with a 2 yro in tow!

We were exhausted!

I need to go dress shopping asap. We already know what the groomsman & the bridesmaids are wearing.

If only any of my bridesmaids had the same off days as I do!

We'll have a venue & date by Wednesday & then I can get my invitations ordered & mailied.

I'll be glad when all that's left are the I Do's :)~

I should be cleaning today to make up for yesterday, instead BMad & I are cuddling & watching an Ice Age Marathon ♡

Wedding Planning!

Now I know why people hire wedding planners...

I feel like 2 days a week with a toddler in tow isn't enough time to tour all the venues.
Our original venue ended up not working out. Still have more touring to do (Villa St. Claire & Hummingbird House.

I'm a little obsessed with Hummingbird House.. I couldn't have dreamt up a more perfect setting to marry my best friend.

Although, we're still looking.

It's really neat to see all the pictures in my head coming together to make the big picture.

As stressed out as I am, I'm incredibly giddy & excited. All my dreams are coming true ♡

On a side note: I will have the prettiest flower girl ever! 

Can't wait to see B in her dress!
