Rock and Roll Bride...

I've been a bad blogger... I know, I SUCK! 

But I wanted to share this cool news with the few people still following along.  Our wedding was featured on the Uber cool blog Rock and Roll Bride. 

Check out the feature here.

Happy Valentines Day...

Happy Valentines Day!! 

 I am hoping everyone is going to have a day filled with lots of love.  This year is quite different from last year because the husband is taking some classes which basically fills up his whole week, so we didn’t really plan anything.  We have some fun plans for the weekend (especially since my birthday is on Sunday) so tonight won’t be anything fancy, just being in the company of my two favorite boys.

In other exciting news we finally got our wedding photos back and I pretty much adore them.  There were a TON and it was super hard to pick just a few to post.  (Sorry for the grainy quality)

 (The one above is my all-time favorite)

Now comes the part of getting them actually printed and framed.  Does anyone else have empty frames on display on their house...or is that just me?  I always have good intentions when I purchase a cute frame...LOL!! 

Well everyone have a wonderful day and make sure to spread the LOVE!

Wedding Photos (Sneek Peek)

Our photographer sent us a few sneak peeks of our wedding photos and I love how they came out.  Its kind of funny because some of them I look at my face and think…LOL…but there was so much fun and laughter going on that day, it’s a true expression of my pure happiness.  (Plus were  kind of GOOF BALLS, so I am surprised at what she got from what she was working with…LOL) 

Also, I felt like a cheap stripper by time the day was over, my DIY glitter shoes...OH LORDY.  Lets just say I totally got a lesson on how NOT to put 10 pounds of glitter on shoes.  Three weeks later and were still finding glitter all over the place. 

VACAY TIME!!!

So, I promise once I am back from VACAY, I will stop being LAME and get back to regular blogging!

Were Hitched!!

So were official…Mr. & Mrs….

Life Recap...

Long time no write….

Things are crazy busy right now!! I am in my last couple of my weeks of my externship and I’m really ready to MOVE ON!! I’ve learned a lot from the place I am working at, but the biggest thing I have learned it’s not the type of work I want to do in my pastry career. Their main business is custom cakes and honestly that’s not where my passion lies. I want to be a pastry chef, not just a cake decorator or cupcake baker, but overall I think it’s really given me a clear picture of my career path.

In other news, I am getting married in exactly 1 month today!!!!

The time has flown by and I am anxiously counting down the days, hours and minutes until we say “I do”. As far as wedding planning goes, were pretty much done, I have my final dress fitting at the end of the month and the last time I saw the dress it was coming along perfectly.

Random side notes....

I’ve officially become OBESSED and ADDICTED with the show “Criminal Minds”. I could slap myself for just discovering this show. It totally scares me, and is slowly making me a recluse, but I LOVES IT!! If you watch it, how much do you love Garcia...she is my favorite!

I’ve made some fun stuff at the bakery I work at and cake balls are one of my favorites. I know they’ve been around for awhile, but these little bites of cakes are slowly turning into my new crack!!  ( I will admit that I didn't want to look at them for awhile after dipping a few hundred of them)

Amazon is my new “Boo”; I almost died when I found out I could get free two-day shipping. Literally I’ve been up at 2am ordering books and running home with excitement for their delivery.  I swear they sell EVERYTHING too, if your looking for a lung, check out Amazon!!

In the last week I’ve purchased 8 cookbooks and I made these last night from one of the books I got called “Cookiepedia" (if you love cookies, get this book, its got great recipes).

(This was my first time trying Dulce De Leche, which is a caramel made with sweet condensed milk....can I just say I stopped licking the can only when I realized both the boy and the dog were staring at me...SO GOOD!!"

Life is busy, but its good and its only getting better.  Thanks for everyone who has been saying hello and sticking around.  I promise to be a little better about the updates!!

TGIF...

I’m going this Saturday for my 1st dress fitting and I am so NERVOUS. Being a very anal type A person, it’s hard for me to let go of control and letting someone have free reign of something concerning my life, well thats all new to me. Without knowing what my dress is going to look like, I haven’t been able to really start looking for accessories, because I want to make sure everything coordinates and meshes really well.

One thing that has been constant is my obession with having GLITTER shoes.  I've been searching online and different stores to find a perfect glitter heel, that is major in the sparkle and bling department.  During my search I came across these Kate Spade shoes and feel in love.

Then I saw the price and my heart was broken into a billion little pieces.  I know its my wedding, but I just can't see paying $300 for a pair of shoes for one day. I kept searching and found another pair on Ebay and got super excited, as they were within a price range I could order 2 or 3 pair if I wanted. 

But guess what, they are SOLD OUT...yes sold out, how DARE they!!  I am letting my imagination run wild and consider that their must be some drag convention going on where a glitter heel was a requirement, so its okay!!

Well my bestie Google (he still can't believe I use to kick it with Yahoo, I know..young and stupid!) finally gave me the most AMAZING solution to my problem!!  DIY, duh Erica!!  I came across a wedding website where this bride made her own glitter shoes from a pair of heels she found from Goodwill, are you ready to be blown away.

How amazing are these shoes she made. With the help of my other BFF Amazon I was able to find the glitter  n our wedding colors.

So After my dress fitting, I plan to start hunting for the perfect pair of shoes to Gliffterfi! 

I am hoping for a fun filled weekend and not one filled with tears because my dress is horrible and I am subjected to wear a burlap sack to my wedding...LOL!!

TGIF...

So it’s been a minute since I talked about the Wedding, or Wedding planning. Mainly because we don’t have time to breathe, let alone plan a wedding…

 Well I am going for my first dress fitting next month, and I am super nervous, because the CONTROL FREAK has not seen anything related to this dress since our first meeting. (and those were drawn sketches), so I have no idea what I am in store for..**BITES NAILS**

I’ve been thinking about little aspects of the big day, and I truly could care less about all the hoopla and hurrah that can surround a wedding. I just want a special day that legally unites me to the man I truly love. (maybe not so much this morning, for various reasons…LOL).

But here are a few things that have been inspiring my little brain when it comes to our special day…

( I am thinking of doing my hair in this manner...thoughts?)

Well I am counting down the seconds until the weekend, things going on...
Day trip to the zoo, picking up my bright pink MAC lipstick, lemon creme brulee, organizng my crazy closet, seeing "HANNA" and sleeping in (or so I would like to think, but then I will be awaken by a CRAZY little dog who has some how fallen in LOVE with the loudest dog toy...ha ha!)
