{My Life} Springrose Wedding

Hey everybody!  I hope you all had a great week.  I certainly did.  Last weekend was my friends Paula and Ben's wedding, and it was a blast.  It was great to meet their wonderful families, and to make some new friends.  

On Monday I met with my friends Alli and Michelle to begin planning our other friend Amber's baby shower, and I'm so excited to start sharing some of the details with you all.  I'm particularly excited to share the invitations, which I will show you all once the guests have received them.

We have lots of other fun things coming up on the horizon.  First, we are heading to the lake for a joint 30th Birthday Bash for our friends Shane and Chris.  Then, we are going to have Jason's family in town for a the Red Sox and Twins series.  Finally, in less than a month we are going to have a "semi-permanent" house guest arriving.  My little sister Katie is moving here for college, and will be staying with us her freshman year.  I'm so excited to have her here!

Well that's it for now.  As always, I hope you all have a fabulous week!    

{My Life} Where to begin.....

Hey everybody!  Boy have I missed blogging!  I got the okay from my doctors to start using my arm again, so I'm back in business!  I have so much to catch you all up on too.  I'm going to skip a little, just so that I don't bore you all too much.  

As I mentioned before, I went to Washington DC with my family.  It was extremely hot the whole time we were there, but we made the best of it.  We managed to work in most of the sights, and had a great time doing so.  

Jason came home from Vegas for the 4th of July, and we hosted a little gathering at our place.  It was pretty low key, but it was fun, as always, to have everyone over.  Jason and I ended the night by going to watch the fireworks here in Eagan.  They were spectacular (I love fireworks). 

Then Jason headed back to Vegas for the Main Event, and I went out for Alli B's birthday celebration.  We went to Benihana, which is always delicious, and then we went out for a little while after.  It was lots of fun!

I also had some house guests in the form of my lil sissy and her two bff's.  The last night they were here I took them all out to dinner at The Melting Pot.  It's been so fun watching these little ladies grow up.  I can't believe they're starting college in less than 2 months!  

On a sadder note, Jason busted from the WSOP Main Event on Day 1.  I guess he can't final table it every year.  The silver lining is that he was able to come home yesterday, and will be able to be here for all of the Springrose Wedding festivities this weekend (which begin tomorrow already!).  

Well that sums up most of my blogging hiatus.  I hope you all enjoy the rest of your week!  

{Fab Find} Glam House and Autumn Art on Etsy

Hey everybody!  I'm back from my hiatus.  I'll give a real update next week on everything that has been going on, but I wanted to pick up my Fab Finds right away this week.  I have a special theme this week too....weddings, and this is why.  

Three years ago this Tuesday (July 12th), I married my best friend.

 There have also been a couple of engagements this week, congratulations Britney and Derek and another congratulations to Liz and Chris!  

Then, a week from Saturday my friends Paula and Ben will be getting hitched.  

So you can see why all of this talk of marriage has me thinking about weddings.  I think the only downside to getting married for a bride is having the day you've been dreaming about your whole life be over.  You are bound to think of all the things you could have done, or to see some new trend you wish you could have used.  Speaking of those trends, on to this weeks Fab Finds.

The first one is an awesome Etsy shop called Glam House.  Their bridal sashes are absolutely gorgeous!  It's a great way to spruce up a simple dress.   Along with sashes they also have lots of other wonderful bridal accessories.

Another bridal trend I absolutely love right now is fabric flower bouquets, and Autumn Art on Etsy has some of the most fabulous ones I've seen so far.  They are really beautiful, and best of all, they don't die.  You can keep them for years to come.  

Well that's it for this week's Fab Finds.  I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
