Just a few wedding related to-do's
1. Book Cake Baker
2. Pick out Tuxedos
3. Book Honeymoon
4. Finalize Time of Wedding
5. Schedule follow up florist appointment
Well everyone... you can scratch/check those off my list after a very successful Saturday of wedding planning!
It has been a long day! Mom and I were at Zach's by 8am to grab him and have his family follow us to Athens to meet with Lynn of Lynn's Cakes. First, a note to the wise- eat beakfast prior to going to taste cakes. I am a sweet lover- ask my coworkers, but cake at 9am was pushing it by my standards. After flipping through tons of books, Zach and his mom found his and we made the final decisions on both cakes. Wedding cakes- done.
Then, it was off to Nathan's in Decatur to pick out tuxes. We used Nathan's since it was where we found my dress. After picking out tuxes, I have been reminded that Zach is a much quicker decision maker than I. While there we went ahead with getting Zach, his brothers and dad's measurements and tuxes booked. Tuxes- check.
As Zach's parents and kids went to go to a ballgame, Zach, Mom and I headed to a childhood favorite restaurant...Alfonzo's! Three half lasagnas please. Delicious. If you've never had Alfonzo's, well then 1. we need to have a sit down talk and 2. we need to plan a trip.Alfonzo's was always a place that my family would go to with Lindsay's family when we were little.
Finally, it was home. After all that work, a much needed nap was due. And then, the most exciting part of the day-- the Honeymoon was booked!! I have been asking Zach a lot as to when he was going to take care of this. See what works for us is that I am the list maker, the worrier and Zach well he is the laid back, mellow one. It works quite nicely. We had decided previously where we wanted to go and bam- he made the plans! Another item bites the dust! Wanna know where we will be going? We will be spending 6 nights at the Sandal's Grande Rivera in Ocho Rios, Jamaica! Guess who will finally be traveling outside of the Southeast US in just 4 months!
So there you have it- a fun, busy and successful day of wedding planning.
with love.

confession.
I have a confession.
I listen to Katy Perry daily. That's right daily.
First you should understand the basics of this: I spend on minimum 2 hours a day driving in my car to and from work, minimum. Katy Perry is a popular artist and her music plays frequently. I am not going to lie, I like 90% of her songs. Some I would agree with most are vulger and likely inapropriate for younger audiences, however, her lyrics are simple, catchy and yet so clever.
To make my point, from Firework:
Not to mention she is one of the few people that you can see where something absolutely ridiculous and still look pretty. Anyway, so yes, I am a Katy Perry fan. I confess.
While I am on a song listening rant; Natasha Bedingfield's "Strip Me" can always put me in a good, ready for the day mood in the morning. Haven't heard this one yet, well watch below :)

"Do you ever feel like a plastic bagI mean seriously, a plastic bag drifting through the wind. I once had to write a paper in college examining the symbolism of the lyrics of a song, too bad Katy wasn't popular then because the paper would have been a breeze.
Drifting throught the wind
Wanting to start again"

Top 10 of 2010.
Wow; it has been a whirlwind of a year.
2010 was a huge year! I thought what better way to capture it than through a top 10 of 2010!
10. Tax Internship Completed! From January to April 15th I had a wonderful time completing a tax internship. It was my first post graduation job and I learned so much and met wonderful people!
9. White Christmas!! Zach and I spent our 7th Christmas together running from one Christmas get together to the next! And it snowed!
8. My favorite alum! After 5 years of hard work, Zach graduated on 5.14.2010. I was one proud fiance!
7. Freshwater Wedding! Cameron and Stephen's wedding was amazing. Zach and I had the best time in Atlanta and the wedding was absolutely gorgeous! We were so happy to see such amazing people become husband and wife!
6. Savannah! If you know me, you know I have been itching for years to head to Savannah! After my tax internship, mom and dad awarding me with just that! It was an amazing trip, if only we had more time to explorer it all! I definitely cannot wait to go back and would highly reccomend the 7 hour drive :) If you would like suggestions on sites to see in Savannah, please let me know! I will happily tell you all about its loveliness.
5. Beck-Langford Wedding! There are so many reasons why I loved this wedding. 1. Being that my roomie got married and freshman roomies reunited, which is always fun! 2. Would be because it involved my first flight. 3. Because the family and friends all there made for a wonderful time. Hands down one of the funnest weddings ever! Plus, if you want to hear one of the funniest stories of my life- ask me about our flight home.
4. Grad School- Accepted! This year I was accepted and started working on my Master's at Samford!
3. My Best Friend's wedding!! My best friend of 20 years got married in August and moved 10 hours away. Luckily she is soon moving to be just 2 hours away, yay! This wedding was great; seeing my best friend marry one of Zach's friends was the icing on the cake! I remember meeting Caleb when Zach first went to Auburn and then when Lindsay and Caleb first met! I couldn't be happier for these two!
2. JOB! I accepted and started working at Daxko on June 1st! After 6 months, I can still say that I love my job. I love the team I am on! When I was working on my accounting degree, I remember telling a mentor that I really wanted to use my accounting degree to help people; but didn't know how I would accomplish that. Well, Daxko has given me just that! I get to use my degree in a unique way to help YMCA's problem solve issues. I love it! God provided me with a wonderful opportunity that I am so grateful for. And did I mention, how wonderful the people are!
1. We're engaged! On 2/12/2010 Zach asked me to spend the rest of my life with him, I of course said yes! He presented me with a chocolate trout and a beautiful ring. It also snowed, I received roses and the most delicious dinner I have ever consumed! Details on our engagement can be found on our wedding website.
2010 was a great year! I can't help but think that 2011 is going to be even better- I mean I do get to marry my best friend :)
