Wedding Madness


I now can see why they created the show Bridezillas...because something about the joining of two families brings out a little bit of spaz in all of us. I find myself losing my cool over simple things that I usually brush off, and in the meantime my poor fiance has to discover knew ways to calm my nerves. No, nothing inappropriate! So today, in honor of being nearly 3 months out from our big day, i am going to write a few things that I LOVE about wedding planning:

1) Spoiling my bridesmaids - I am getting carried away with all the fun gifts out there to give my girls. I wish i had a million dollars for each because I keep finding new items that I know they would each love!

2) DJ song list - Ryan and I are going to boogey on the dance floor...I mean really we can't take ourselves seriously for too long, so don't expect a ton of gushy dance moves, it's going to be pure fun and laughter!

3) Wedding Dress - i keep peeking in the dress bag, wanting to play dress up around the house just about every minute of the day. If it were acceptable i would wear my dress to work, veil and all, just to simply to be in it!
4) Family - yes despite the fact that our family counts for the wedding are very different, i am excited that our union means I will have an additional set of parents, grandparents, aunts & uncles, cousins, even another sister and brother! Just more people to spoil and love on!...plus the additional pet sitting help doesn't hurt! :)

Adventures in St. Augustine


There is an unusual sense of pleasure that comes from watching your dog meet a horse for the very first time. His shoulders hunched, crawling forward with much hesitation, cautiously taking in the different smells and overwhelming height of this stranger. If it weren't for the horse's amazing patience, i'm not sure we would have even attempted to make the introduction. All in all, I was proud of our little boy, but in reality, he was a pretty big wimp! This was about as close as he got and then quickly turned the other way, fleeing whatever danger he senses in this giant monster. Who knows maybe we will try an actual carriage ride next time!
