Wedding Planning Update

So Brian and I have been engaged for a little over a month. It really seems like yesterday but at the same time a while ago that it happened. Since then, we have decided on a date, venue, and photographer.

We will be getting married on October 26, 2013 at The Storybook Barn in Charleston, SC. It is a new venue. We will be married outside in front of the barn and then our reception inside the barn. I think it's going to be awesome. The lady who runs the venue also offers decor packages. She will be doing all of our linens/tables/chairs/etc. That takes a lot off of us (my mom, me, and day of coordinator).

Our photographer is Sally Freshour Photography. She has fabulous pictures and from Charleston as well. I know she is going to do a great job. She is creative and really knows how to capture the emotion through her shots.

I am excited and nervous all at once. I know I have lots more decisions to make and lots more money to put down. AGH! It will all work out. I still have a little over a year.

I am going shopping for my dress the first weekend of November. I know that will make it all come full circle. I can't wait to see what I pick!!

Hope y'all have a great weekend!

xoxo,

Let's talk bras...

Hi ladies! I hope y'all are doing well. This weekend has been pretty good. I have been fighting a 3 day headache. My Ibprofen hasn't touched it. And unfortunately, they recalled Excedrin Migraine which is THE ONLY THING that helps. I didn't know this. Hopefully they get everything squared away and back on the shelves. I can't be without it.

So I have a bit of a rant/dilemma/call it what you may. All my girlfriends who know me, know that the Lord has blessed (if that's what you want to call it) me to be with the girls. I am not on the scale of Dolly Parton (GOOD LORD)... but my girlfriends refer to my bras as "boulder holders." Yes, I kid you not. I laugh because it's true.


The other night I was in Target. I was in dire need of some bras so I started perusing the bra section. As I went down each aisle, I became for irritated.
Let me ask you something...

IF A GIRL HAS BIG BOOBS, DOES THAT MEAN I AM PLAGUED TO WEAR GRANDMA BRAS?!?!

Last time I remember, big boobs are no where near "grandma." I'm 25 years old. I refuse to wear these grandma looking bras. I do like full coverage because these girls can spill over. I mean really? But a little lace or something doesn't hurt. 

I finally found some "push-up" bras with a bit of lace on them, but it was like finding a needle in a hay stack. I know what you are thinking, "Why doesn't she go to Victoria's Secret?" Well because I am not paying $60 or more for a bra that doesn't last. 

So for all you girls who want big boobs.... it comes with its drawbacks with EVERYTHING. Those little backless dresses, forget it. You think they make bras like that for girls like me? Heck no. I'd be better off duck taping these girls up. Cute strapless bathing suits... forget it. You get my drift. 

I really should go into the business of making bras for us girls who have the "boulders" and bathing suits while I'm at it. I guess they think that girls stop growing boobs once they hit a "C." WRONG.

Anyways, I had to get that out. I know my girlfriends who are reading this are probably dying laughing. They know my strife. 

So if anyone knows a place to get non-grandma bras at a reasonable price for girls like me... holler at your girl! 

Hope y'all have a great week!

We will never forget!



We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail.
-George W. Bush

The city is going to survive, we are going to get through it, it’s going to be very, very difficult time. I don't think we yet know the pain that we're going to feel when we find out who we lost, but the thing we have to focus on now is getting this city through this, and surviving and being stronger for it.

Need this!

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:6-7
