Bachlorette night

I need to start off my saying that I have literally THE BESTEST FRIENDS ANYONE COULD ASK FOR!!! They are amazing and thanks to them I had a wonderful last night as a single lady! Props go to my wonderful maid of honor who again went above and beyond with the planning!!! She did so great with keeping everything a secret from me too!
So the day started out with me going for my trial run through for my hair and makeup for the wedding day!! So excited...I LOVE my hair and makeup and the lady is so nice! Korby & erin came with and it was great to have friends support! Then they took me to the super secret location! A hotel in atlanta..where everyone else was waiting for us! The whole hotel room was decorated in pink and black!
we all got ready and played fun games and I opened presents and then we headed to dinner! (which was also a secret) We went to rays on the river!!! I was so excited because I have always wanted to go there! It was sooooo nice and the food was soooo yummy!! Then after dinner we went back to the hotel where a LIMO picked us up and took us to some clubs! It was a BLAST!!! A night filled with great company, lots of dancing and tons of laughing!! A night I will never forget! yay!

hello

this past weekend was soooo nice and relaxing. We had nothing planned..well not NOTHING..but we had no where to be at any time. Don't get me wrong..I've had a blast at all my showers and my trip to chicago but it was nice to have a weekend to do nothing--and by nothing I mean run lots of errands and do lots of wedding planning! haha...but it was a VERY productive weekend! I got alot done!! This past weekend and the next are the "calm before the storm" weekends..then it's bachlorette and wedding! crazy!! soooooo excited though!!!
Last week-me and ry got our marriage license!! We are officially ready to get hitched!

we also met with the pastor to discuss our wedding ceremony and went and taste tested and booked the restaurant for our rehearsal dinner! CHECK CHECK CHECK!

This week we are meeting with the musician and gift shopping! yay!

as much stuff as we have gotten done, I feel like we have neglected Shi a bit..I took her for some nice evening walks all weekend so I think shes happy now!

Here she is pooped from our walk!

I made this for Heidi as a "happy first day of school" present!

It's a school cake! (think diaper cake) It was so fun and easy to make! Ry helped too! 

She loved it!! yay! 

next weekend is a friends bridal shower and the theme is bed/bath..I found these CUTE bride and groom rubber duckies to top of the gift! cute huh? 

I love weddings! as much as I have loved planning! I am ready to GET MARRIED! and it will be much relief when all the planning is done..what will I do with myself?!
