Jason Mr. A-Z

Fiance and I went to the Jason Mraz concert on Tuesday. It was so much fun. The music was great and I just always love going to see Jason, he is so taleted. This was my fourth time to see him live and I keep planning on going to see him when he comes to town. Here is a picture of us at the concert!

On another note my wonderful future husband gets me flowers sometimes and he brought me flowers to fill out new engagement gift from his grandparents. It was super sweet and I thought I would throw him a little thank you for being so cute and thoughtful!

Wedding Nightmare

So I have yet again had another wedding nightmare. This one was about my wedding dress.

A little background information. I have picked out the most wonderful dress in the world and I love it. I can't wait to wear it on my wedding day. But as all of you brides out there know you inevitably have second thoughts or just little glimpses of fear that you will end up hating it. I bought my dress over a year before my wedding and I knew when I bought it that I was going to have these little panic attacks. But I went ahead and bought it anyway because well it was on sale and I am cheap.

Anyway, so I had this dream that I went to pick up the dress from the dress shop and it was in a black plastic bag. I did not bother to look at the dress. I put on the dress the day of my wedding and did not pay too much attention to it (for some unknown ridiculous reason) and walked down the isle. As I was saying my vows I asked my future husband if he thought I looked sexy. His response was you are always beautiful but I did think you would pick something better than a moo moo for this occasion. I look down and the dress shop had given me the entirely wrong dress! The worst part was all of my pictures were in this horrible looking dress. I was so upset that I left the reception and yelled at the dress people, who insisted I picked out that piece of crap! I was furious. I then ended the night wearing sweatpants and sitting in my room alone. It was horrible. I guess this is my minds way of getting me back for being super judgy about other people's ugly dresses.

This is close to what I had on in the wedding of my nightmare:
I dont know if I can take this for another year.

Convention Recap and More!

As some of you might know I was in Dallas this last week and weekend for my company's annual convention. It was a lot of fun and I happen to be so lucky to work for an association with FANTASTIC membership. We always work super hard but always have a good time doing it. I got to see some of the Dallas area as well, which was a treat because I don't know much about the area. We went to dinner at a place called Javier's by Southern Methodist. Such a treat. I had an amazing meal and then got to share in some cigars and wine with a few of the big wigs from the association, which of course made me feel special! :)


Fiance had to make an emergency rip up to Connecticut to see his grandma so Harry got to have a surprise visit with Petey and Ginger for the weekend and I have heard he had a lot of fun. Kelly was even so kind as to send me some video of him "playing" but they are to pornographic for me to post here.

This week I am getting ready to go see Jason Mraz with fiance, which I am totally excited about. I love him and know it will be a great show. I am also getting ready to host my two best friends from my Yankee days. They are coming to town for a visit and to help me with some wedding planning things! I am so glad they are going to be here. We are even going to go bridesmaid dress shopping with my other great friend Janet! So excited for the week ahead. Is it Thursday yet?

Weekend Recap

This past weekend was a lot of fun. The weekend fun did not really start until Sunday. Our friend Emily came through town to visit for a bit with her super cute son, Nathan. It was a short visit but of course it was wonderful to see them both. Then we headed to brunch with Jason and Amelia. It was so great to celebrate with them. We had an amazing brunch at the Belmont. I don't know if many people know of this brunch but you MUST try it out. It works like this. You pay $14.95 for all you can eat. They also have $5 pitchers of mimosas. WONDERFUL idea. We proceeded to chow down on captain crunch french toast, eggs benedict, migas, bacon, sausage and lots of other great stuff.


After brunch Jason and Amelia decided it would be a good idea to continue the mimosa drinking while watching all three extended versions of the "Lord of the Rings". People do you have any idea how long those movies are? We did make a pretty fun drinking game out of every homo- erotic moment between Sam and Frodo though. We passed out and napped with our dog Harry and only made it through the first two. It was a valiant effort and was a great night all in all.Monday I had to finally bring my engagement ring in to be sized. I did not want to do it at all because it takes up to three weeks to come back to me. That makes me sad. But after a long goodbye I was able to give it up. I can't wait to get it back. My hand feels very naked now.

Fiance and I are getting ready for a busy week. I will be working in Dallas for a convention and he is working hard to take care of the house and our dog. I am nervous. We are doing movie night tonight and we are cooking dinner together. I am really excited to spend some time with him before I leave.

T-minus 8 days till my Philly girls come! :)

A Year From Today

A year from today I will be marring my best friend. I am so blessed that I have a man like him in my life. I know he and I have a LOT to cover in the next year but we can do it together. I am so excited to see him and officially start our lives together!

Next year at this exact time I will be getting into my wedding dress and probably thinking about what he is going to look like when he sees me coming down the isle to him. I know he is going to look so HOT! :) I know he will be really excited, yet totally nervous that everyone will be paying attention to him, haha! I just can't wait to marry you my love!

Weekend Recap and More

This past weekend was yet another pretty unadventurous weekend and I loved every minute of it. As Kelly told you all we went on a little shopping trip. As you know I have been in a shopping rut and she was a big help in coming up with some ideas. I bought several sale pieces and I am very happy with my purchases. I may or may not still return them, based on my guilt level. I will deiced after I boast about my finds though...

First we have this cute lavender top from J.Crew:
Then we have these cute cropped work pants from Banana:

We also have this cute shirt on sale from J Crew (i got mine in blue):After the lovely shopping experience I had with miss Kelly I went home and had traditional movie night with Fiance and watched 17 again. VERY cute movie. I highly recommend it, especially if you like some ZEXY Zach Effron! :)
Saturday I went to Amelia's wine and cheese party house warming. She has done such great stuff with her house and I envy her attention to all the little details in her home. She and her Fiance have such a great attitude and their whole house exudes warmth and friendliness.

Sunday Fiance and I did NOTHING! We had so much to do and just chose to procrastinate. I always say that's the best way... :) We did however have Tru Blood night and enjoyed having Ameliea and Jason over for dinner. They brought us Mighty Fine, ummm YUMMY!

Last night Fiance and I had a date, and he took me to go see the "Time Travelers Wife" So good! It was sad of course, but it was so good. I love Rachel McAdams and therfore loved the movie. Plus if any of you have seen this you know the house they live in is absolutly amazing, and now I hope to one day own a house just like it in the city!

This brings me to my big news. Even with the Mighty Fine I hit my goal weight on the scale this morning!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHOOO WHO! I know I will have gained by the time I get to my WW meeting tonight, but now I know it is possible! YEAH for me! I can't wait to stop paying for WW and start eating just a bit more.
