    We’re Going on a Cruise!!

    Just wanted to do a quick life update amongst all the wedding posts – we’re going cruising next month!!! I am SO excited!!!!!!! It’s going to be of course Chris and myself, but we will also be joined by the fabulous Sarah, star of the Beach Club & Chill series, and her boyfriend Grant! Chris and I had requested off the whole week for my birthday because we’re doing some of the Star Wars RunDisney races the weekend before, and we figured we would want to do something for my birthday as well. We had been eyeing the idea of…

    Shopping for My Wedding Dress

    Something I’ve really been looking forward to writing about after we got married was the process of shopping for my wedding dress!! I obviously couldn’t post any pics or talk about this before the wedding because I didn’t want Chris to see any of the dresses I was looking at. This post isn’t really meant to be anything super helpful or informative, I kinda just wanted to talk about my experience. Also, the shop that I bought my dress from has since gone out of business so it’s not like this post will be any help to anyone now, but…

    What I Wish I Would’ve Known About Wedding Planning

    Welcome to my first wedding blog post from after our wedding!! Now that we have successfully planned and executed our perfect wedding (seriously, everything was perfect), I’m really excited to write about all the planning after the fact, what worked and what didn’t, and all the stuff I just didn’t have time to tell you before. Even though I wrote about a lot of it along the way, there’s still a TON of stuff I didn’t touch on so I wanted to jump right in! I decided to start here – what I wish I would have known about planning our wedding.…

    I’m a Mrs!!!!

    So…you may have noticed it’s been a little while, but that’s because I was off taking care of some very important business….Chris and I are officially MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!! We don’t have the professional pics back yet so some guest photos will have to do for now. But that’s right – our wedding is officially DONE, we survived, and it was worth all the hard work! Every aspect of our day was pretty much perfect and it was the best day ever!! Immediately after our wedding Chris and I embarked on the most AMAZING honeymoon visiting Disneyland and Hawaii! We had the…

    2017 Year in Review & Favorites

    Before I jump into this post – check out my new blog theme!! I decided the start of the new year was as good of an excuse as any to spruce things up around here. The sizing and details on some stuff is still a little wonky while I work everything out but go ahead and have a look around – I hope you like it! I figured with the new year it was time for me to write a “end of 2017” post or something, but I wasn’t sure how I wanted to do it. I want to include…
