busy.

midterm today. wish me luck!

it's grammar...ugh.

however...here are some of the "as it was happening" engagement photos promised

i'll even share the one with my facial mask on. oh yes.

will you?

YESSS!

probably something like: "are you kidding me, I have a facial mask on right now!"

ring shot

so happy! (at this point i had washed the mask off)

so there they are. recently found on my roommates computer.

the fact that it was so unexpected (obviously, i had a white mask on my face and was in my comfy clothes about to study for a test) was so perfect.

i wouldn't have had it any other way...

ps. if you haven't been over to 100layercake today, you MUST! eunice and daniel's wedding is too phenomenal to pass up! so whimsical.

reminiscient.

sorry for not posting yesterday! it was crazzzyyy school wise. i am trying to be more religious

about posting every day each week.

anyway...i just recently uploaded a bunch of old photos from my digital camera that had been

sitting on there since i got a new laptop and they threw me back

since i don't get to see noah very much because we are both so busy i often just look through my pictures of us...or facebook stalk him..one of the two (haha)

do you all ever facebook stalk your men?

maybe i'm weird. oh well. i just love him to death and he's pretty to look at

i thought a couple of these photos were especially amusing considering how young we look/were and how far we've come

check em out:

one of the first pictures we ever took together.

babiessss.

and now to this...

our impromptu engagement photos done by one of my maids of honor

i don't know if i ever told the story on here...but when he proposed i had a facial mask on (obviously for the photos i washed it off) maybe i'll get some of those on here for you!

have a beautiful tuesday!!

weekend checklist.

this weekend is much needed but is going to be anything but relaxing

weekends are my getting stuff done time

first on the list:

just bought 20+ packs of these at the 99cent store

to make a whole mess of these for the bridal shower/wedding

via (greenweddingshoes)

also need to:

-finish research paper due monday

-figure out bridal shower gift for guests

-hit up t-joe's for some tasty treats

-finish term paper proposal

-study study study for my grammar midterm (ughhhh)

-work, twice

-hang out with the fianceeee!!!

here we go...until monday beauties!!

bridal shower.

next up on the agenda: the bridal shower

plan---pom poms (so many), tea/kitchen tins, big bloom flowers, scones, tea, champagne, baked brie, finger sandwiches, glee.

i think i'm going to go to paper source and make some of these:

these are the invites! water-colored pom poms painted by my beautiful roomie/maid of honor alex. so excited about them!

i will be working on these for the next few weeks:

going to do the florals myself--this is the inspiration:

at first i was stressed about pulling this off so soon. now i'm just looking forward to all these fun projects. and the pom poms and tins can be used again at the wedding!

so excited.

hankies (explanation)

perhaps i should explain the hankies...

i was considering keeping it a surprise. at least for the guests.

but i'm sure it will be more special when they actual receive them. anyway...

i am going to use them for the invite suite! originally i had thought of screen-printing

them for the save the date...but then i thought (although that's a great idea!) that if

guests got that as the save the date, they would probably expect an entire quilt or something

for the invitation.

so then, i decided i'd just use them for the invites. so i found an AMAZING lot on ebay of over a hundred a while back (as a result i've become an ebay addict) and am currently working on the format and font for them with Haley.

I am SO excited about them.

inspiration time:

(the above is a picture from my actual ebay lot)

holly and billy...oh man.

hankies/plates

some photos of the hankies and just a few of the plates i've collected so far...

little blue

yellow roses

little greeny w/roses

veil.

the veil has started to stress me out.

so have the shoes. silliness i know.

i guess i just want to have my whole bridal outfit

put together now so i can check it off of my list

here are some new ideas:

LOVELOVELOVE the lace applique trend that is starting up.

thought it might be pretty to have it more toward the back of my hair though

with the french netting veil below coming up over my face

and detachable so i can just have the applique for the reception

either way...its gotta be a tulle or french netting veil

i just love them too much
