Meet the ‘Maids’

Posted on by | 1 Comment

and of course that’s BRIDESMAIDS. Here they are . .

Callie. Maid of Honor!

Callie is my sister. She is three years younger than me. There was no question about her being a part of this day.

Carrie. Bridesmaid

Carrie and I have known each other for about 2 years. I met her through one of Don’s good friends, MAX. We have become very close in the past several months. At least in the past 5 months, there may have been 2-3 weekends where we HAVE NOT seen each other.

Crystal. Bridesmaid.

Wow, I cant believe we have already known each other almost SIX years. Man, time sure does fly when you are having fun..and I mean serious fun. From football games, pool parties and girls night, she has been my partner in crime until she moved to Jacksonville.

Kendra. Bridesmaid.

Kendra is  dating one of Dons good friends, Andrew. She is also a BRIDE TO BE.  When I first met Kendra, our friendship was very natural and since we met, we have become good friends. She is very sweet. When Kendra and I get together, it is none stop fun. Almost every time I see her, there is at least one occasion where we constantly laugh so hard and can’t stop. Never a dull moment with her.

Marni. Bridesmaid.

Marni and I have been friends for about 5 years. She is married to one of Dons life-long friends, Mike (aka Palma). Both Don and I were in their wedding in November 2012. Our friendship is much like a good book, you never want to put it down or wait till later, we could keep on going. I always look forward to visits with her. We have many special moments together that I could never get rid of.

Sara. Bridesmaid.

She is the jelly to my peanut butter! Sara married my cousin Jayson last July. We met the prior year on our family vacation to the keys and became two peas in a pod. When I still lived in Tallahassee, there was not a weekend we were without each other. I was in her wedding and its only fitting to have her in mine, I would not think twice about it. Sara is a mother to be. She is due in Oct. We are so excited for her

I am so excited to have the 6 of them apart of my wedding day. From now till then, will be so much so much fun. Thanks ladies for being apart of this day ! Love you ALL <3

Asking the girls

Posted on by | 3 Comments

I picked 6 close girls that I wanted to share this intimate day with, 2 being family and 4 being friends. This was one of first hurdles to get over since we started to plan our wedding. I seriously could have had several attendants but I was encouraged not to by several people, less is more! I love and adore all of my friends and wish I could have them all in the wedding.

I really wanted a fun, random way of asking my bridesmaids. I actually remembered this really cute idea I pinned on my wedding pinterest board.

I definitely used this same concept, however I chose my own wording. The letters on the outside of the boxes are the first initial of each bridesmaids name. Two of the boxes actually had their full name, only because I had each letter :0)

I made confetti out of BRIGHT printing paper I had in my scrapbook box. After the confetti came the tags that read, “I cant say I DO, with out YOU, Will you be my bridesmaid, ( one said maid of honor).

and last BUT not least, I added the special touch…. A RING POP … how appropriate :0) I thought it was the cutest idea and I think some of my bridesmaids did to ! I kept mine in the package because I was asking everyone at random times and did not need ants crawling in my house and car!

I look forward to introducing you to my bridal party, at least my side… Don is still in the making ! Happy Monday, and if you are like me and live in FLORIDA, try and stay dry !!!!

An Unexpected Positive !!!!

Almost one year ago I moved to Orlando due to a job shortage in Tallahassee. Instead of renting an apartment, Don’s parents offered for us to live with them until we arrange something different. March 5, 2011 we moved into his parents house. We were very grateful for this because it allowed us to find employment, save some money and find a home.

During this time I was not my usual, fun, outgoing self. I left ALL of my friends and family back home. One of my close friends, who coincidentally moved to Orlando at the same time, ended up moving to Jacksonville on endeavors of her own. I was then left with Don, myself, and very few of Dons high school buddies I met when visiting his parents on holidays or vacations. They are great!

Late July, We found the perfect home for ourselves and our four-legged friend, Lola! This home actually had been put on the market for ONE day. Two days later, we had a contract on the home and we were moving in a few weeks out. We moved in, painted (still not fully finished), decorated and made it our own.

The first night we stayed at our place, I ended the afternoon with a nice swim in the pool. Unexpectedly 4 people walk out the back door with Don. They were some of our neighbors. I could only think to myself, ” Woah, They are our age and live next door? ” They brought a few bottles of wine as welcome gifts. I knew we were going to get along JUSTTTTTT fine!

Since then, We have become great friends with five of our neighbors. We have block parties, celebrate birthday parties, end a horrible day with a glass bottle of wine, or simply have a relaxing night watching a movie.

God does watch over us. Even at weak moments we must realize there is a purpose for things done, feelings felt or things said.

My AMAZING neighbors were an unexpected positive in my life and I am so happy they are here in my life! To make it even better, they all have four-legged friends to play (except one… they do  have four extra legs,,, however,,, those four legs belong to 2 children)

Thankful Thursday

I have talked much about my boyfriend Don… but I really haven’t spoke much for my furry four legged friend Lola ! She is almost 4 years old and very energetic ! Although she leaves her fur laying everywhere in the house , even dust bunnies can’t find there way to hide in the corners , I am very thankful she is a part of this family ;o) 20120209-205320.jpg20120209-205425.jpg
