Flower Girl Dress...HELP!!

I need help choosing a flower girl dress. My adorable flower girl will be 3 months shy of 3 years year old the day of our wedding. So we are crossing our fingers that it will work out! Shes is shy around people yet can be a diva! I am down to two dresses for two different reasons.


Dress One: Is a dress from JCP. I believe its a communion dress. But this is the selling point.. its $25. We all know that shortly after walking down the aisle.... this dress will be rolling around on the floor. I also know that after the big day..she wont wear it again..... i dont LOVE the dress..buts its pretty and it will do. This girl is adorable and will look so in anything.

dress one (my sis hiding in the background)

Dress Two: This dress is so cute! The flowers on the strap match the bridesmaids dresses. The fabric is the same as my dress and the girls' dresses too. The down fall this dress is $109. I hate to have her mom ditch out this much money on top of her own dress.

Dress two (couldnt get one of her standing up)

What should i do?!?!

Cake!!

We met with our baker and this is what our cake will look like:



There will be a few slight changes..but it will be very similar to this. I wanted something simple with a touch of beach. Cake to me is a waste but it's a must have.. so no need to go over board.



These are our cake cutter and server! How weird is this... these are the exact ones in the above picture! It must be a great match since we aren't the first to out these together :)

Guilty Pleasure TV Shows

I have a few (ok maybe 4) guilty pleasure TV shows. These are shows that i cant go a week without seeing...yet maybe i should. These are shows that Luke makes fun of me for watching. But i love them!

1) One Tree Hill: This show I have been watching since 2006! I do admit i did not watch it on TV when it first came out because i had my loyalty to The O.C (guilty pleasure #5 if it were still on tv) But OTH i started watching my freshman yr of college with my roomies. We had a few seasons to catch up on.. and we would spend hours..i mean HOURS glued to the tv watching! There was a time that i SKIPPED class and gave up 10 Bonus points for perfect attendance to keep on watching with my roomies. My roomies and i continued to watch it together through the rest of college. Although the show has changed a lot over the years.. i cant help but watch EVERY Wednesday night :) side note: i just might have a Scott's Auto Body Hoodie like the one Lucas wore in seasons 1,2,3!

2) The Bachelorette /Bachelor: This show i have watched off and on since the first one so many years ago! I honestly dont know why i love this show so much. Out of ALL of them i thing maybe 3 couples are still together. Its also so unrealistic...but im hooked. And let me tell you..someone spoiled this season for me and i am NOT happy about the outcome!

3) Pretty Little Liars: I just started watching this show at the beginning of this season. I am hooked to this show because each week your more confused than the week before, yet thats a reason i hate this show. I cant believe im sucked into high school drama!

4) The lying game: I got into this show randomly because i saw the previews from watching PLL. I think i got sucked into this because it is about twins and well i am a twin! Often times my mouth drops at the end of every episode.

I seriously have no time for other TV shows because i am sucked into these ones! But someday maybe ill grow up and watch more adult TV..but for now i am okay with my guilty pleasure shows!

Sand Ceremony Kit

Since our wedding is "Beachy Theme" We decided to go with a sand ceremony kit instead of the unity candle. I wanted something that we could use in our house as decoration afterwards. When i came across this set i knew it was PERFECT! Tonight i finally ordered it (well my mama did ). I am so excited for it and i cant wait to see it when it gets here! Now we just have to find some bright blue and lime green sand!

Bridesmaid Dresses

I can't believe that our wedding day is LESS than 5 months away. It seems like yesterday that i started the two year countdown!


Our wedding theme is beachy. && Our colors are bright blue and lime green :)

I have my dress (which i am not posting--because its a surprise for luke)

We picked out the bridesmaid dresses: It took me a while to find the perfect dress. I really wanted my girls to be comfy and feel confident in their dresses. Having girls that range in all different height and sizes --makes that tough. After searching for what seemed like forever i am 100% confident that we chose the best dress. Its light and flowy and has a small touch of beach. The dress is from Alfred Angelo. Its chiffon (which to me is 100% more comfy than satin) and its one strapped with flowers on the strap! Perfect for a summer wedding :) The color we chose is Alfred's new color Blue Box (its not as bright as i originally wanted .. but it will work!

This is the dress :)

This is the color :)

Life Update

Every Post starts this way because I do have all the intentions to actually keep up with it.

Work: I can't believe I did not blog during my long term teaching position. But anyways.. it was great and i LEARNED a lot! So much more than i learned in 4 years of school..seriously. Experience is the best teacher. I had a great class and we bonded really well. I was sad to go and i think they were sad to see me go as well. I am officially back to day to day subbing..which i did not miss at all! But you got to do what you got to do!

House: Luke and I finally got around to fixing up the first floor bathroom. He laid new tile floor :) We also topped it off with a new sink/vanity and mirror. We did paint, however it is very close to the same color! It looks really nice :) -- Next project (after the wedding) will be the upstairs bathroom.

Wedding: Wedding stuff is finally coming together! I am starting to get excited :)!! We have some projects to start soon. Pics to come soon.

Puppy: Luke and I now have a puppy. Her name is Missy. She was my moms, but now she is with us! She is soo clingy but a cuddle bug! And she sheds A LOT!!

Hopefully more blogging to come soon!

Lyss :)
