life is sweet.

 

23 years old. 

As I turned 23 yesterday, I realized that at the age of 23, a lot is going to change. The short list:

1. Getting married.

2. Officially moving out of the parent's house. 

3. Building my first home with Zach. 

4. Traveling outside of the US.

Yep, thats the short list for now. 

There is a lot to come in this 23rd year, but life is sweet and it will be great. 

So for the 23rd, we went and did the final meeting with the florist, had lunch at rumors, picked up my super cute apron (a birthday gift from Leah) and dad grilled.

Not to mention we had a mouth watering delicious strawberry cake thanks to Mom and Paula Deen of course. {Note: I recommend substituting the icing for plain cream cheese icing- delicious!} 

After resting, Zach and I headed up to Franklin, to move his tv into his mom's house.

With this came our first furniture purchase for our future home.

It came in a thousand pieces.

Required a lot of work...

But ended up turning out just swell.

So there you have it, a dandy tv and tv stand; all it needs is its official home. 

On the agenda today: 

Seeing my best friend for the first time in 5 months! 

Best birthday present: Lindsay moving 8 hours closer to home on my birthday weekend!

Talk about perfect timing!

with love. 

indecisive

in·de·ci·sive/ˌindiˈsīsiv/Adjective

1. Not settling an issue: "an indecisive battle".

2. (of a person) Not having or showing the ability to make decisions quickly and effectively. 

I am indecisive. Wedding planning makes me indecisive. Notice the frequent changes of the blogger header, well blame me being indecisive on it.

Honestly, wedding planning is bringing it out full blast. Its awful, it is so hard for me to make a decision about something so many days out. I have ideas, but as for final choices on say flowers, well I don't know. Don't even get me started on linens or menus. Geez. So many decisions, and this little lady is not the best at these kind of decisions. Now, give me a calculated decision to make and done. But floral choices, you are too difficult.

So, to those fellow indecisive people out there, if there is one thing I have learned about making decisions and wedding planning its this: The longer you give yourself to decide, the harder the decision becomes. You can thank doubt for that :)

Tomorrow however, comes final floral decision time. I believe I am ready. So with that a sneak peak at wedding details. Drum roll please....

{dress} {flowers}

So there we have it navy bridesmaid dresses with pink, white and greens for florals. 

Let's hope when I get to the florist that I can be this decisive. 

Goodnight all.

guestbook success

For our wedding guestbook, I wanted to do something a little different. I decided that in all likelihood I would not pull out a plain book with signitures in it a lot. I wanted something more. My original idea was to somehow find a way to create one using our engagement photos. Lindsay knew of this idea I had and linked me to a blog post on WeddingBee, where a girl had created one using http://www.blurb.com. I decided to check out the site and got tons of ideas, so for about $40 total I took a gamble and designed, built and ordered one with engagement photos and love quotes to boot.

It was delivered on Friday and I am thoroughly pleased. Its just the right size, not too bulky, the quality is wonderful and its just what I wanted. So, the guestbook was a success. You can really use Blurb to create all kinds of books-cookbooks, portfolios and more for relatively decent prices. Next up for us will be Zach's portfolio.
