Weekend Recap

Friday night I went home, cleaned a bit and had movie night with WF. I decided to be proactive and switched out our closets from winter to summer items. I thought it was time, except God hates me and it ended up being 40 all weekend. PERFECT. We watched "Did you hear about the Morgans?" it was cute but not to die for. Just what you expect from that kind of movie.

Saturday I was a bride on a mission. I needed shoes and a corset bra with a low back for my wedding dress fitting coming up. Next weekend we are pretty busy so I thought I would just take care of it now. Well after going to Victoria's Secret and being blown away by the fact that they do not have ANY practical bridal corset type things I headed to the new Dillards in the Domain. It was super nice and I highly recommend the place. I found the perfect bra after trying on about 10. The lady helping me was so nice. I then went to DSW to find the perfect pair of shoes. I had success! They are ivory peep toes with a small ruffle embellishment on the toe strap. They are about two and a half inches high so I should not be crippled by the end of the night. I can't find a picture on the internet of them but they are Nina's and only $55 bucks! Can't beat that really.

Saturday night I had date night with WF. We went to Master Pancake Theater at the Alamo, Goldfinger addition. I love James Bond and it was a wonderful (and very fitting) date night for us both.

Sunday WF beat the crap out of our friends and family 30% coupon at Old Navy. I got almost $300 bucks worth of stuff for $180. NICE. I will be returning about half of it today though, as I went a bit too nuts. I did get some good finds for the honeymoon including 2 pairs of shorts! I have not had shorts in like 15 years, no kidding! WF even got some new shorts and flip flops in preparation for the honeymoon as well. I then headed home relaxed while watching a few movies and cooking dinner.

I had a very productive weekend! Hope you all had a great one too!

March Madness: Yankee Style

So for those of you that do not know I moved to the Lone Star State from Philadelphia about 5 years ago. I went to Temple University in Philadelphia and I loved it. I met some great friends and in general loved living in the big city.

Well my Temple Owls will be taking on Cornell in the NCAA tournament today and I am very pumped. The last few years our basketball program has been really crappy and I am looking forward to the possibility of making in at least to the second round this year. It is great for my school but most of all it is great because I will finally have something to gloat about to all of my friends who went to UT!

I happily go to all the watch parties and wear burnt orange. I in fact have more UT stuff in my closet than I do Temple. It is shameful I know, but this year UT lost in the first round (sorry longhorns) and so I might be able to say my school is better than UT in at least one thing!

So go Owls I will be routing for you today. And if they win today I will be making my friends here in Texas wear Cherry and White on Sunday as they cheer us on! :)


UPDATE: Well we lost. That is what I get for running my mouth. At least we still have the cheese steak going for us! Go Owls anyway!

I Lust After You...

Shoes from JCrew that are far to expensive for me. I love you anyway. You are the perfect shade of blue (click the link below for the right color blue) with the most perfect peep to design. I want to wear you for my wedding, but just can not justify the rediculousness of your price tag. I must move on. I must find another...

 Click Here to get the right picture. I. Love. These. Shoes. I will always remember you dear sweet shoes.

My Jamz: OneRepublic

I am currently loving this song. I rock out to it in the car all the time. I am hoping the radio does not beat the crap out of it soon.

OneRepublic - All the Right Moves

Ceremony Music: BOOKED

I sent off the signed contract and check for our ceremony musicians. We have hired Musical Discovery Chamber Players. A duo of violin and cello will be playing our ceremony on the big day. They have been super easy to work with and I am really excited to have real strings playing while I walk down the isle. I figure it is timeless and classy. They are even withing budget whoot whoot! Here they are playing Cannon in D:



I will be coming down to the isle to Cannon in D and the rest will be a surprise! :)

Weekend Recap

This weekend was beautiful here in Austin. I was able to spend most of the weekend outside enjoying it as much as I could. Friday I came home and tackled my kitchen pantry. It had been almost a year now since I had cleaned it out and reorganized the whole thing. It was amazing how much stuff I was able to throw away. I then cleaned the whole kitchen. I know I am the loser that spent Friday night cleaning my kitchen but whatever I had a good time accomplishing something that I normally hate to do. 

Saturday I did more cleaning, worked out outside, walked my dog, grocery shopped and all of the usual. Then we headed to an engagement party fro a friend of WF. It was all the way out in Johnson city. Let me tell you I was totally nervous as it was out on a ranch and I was totally out of my element. We arrived a bit late but were able to get sangria in my hands before the fact that there were cows walking by me made me too nervous. The home that this was held at was absolutely stunning and if I am ever "ranch-y" that is the way I am going to do it. 

Sunday our wonderful dog got us up at 7 am. Instead of sleeping in we decided to be productive. We headed out to play tennis and then take a walk. Both of us need to get in shape and we want to try to do things together to encourage each other. We then headed to Kerby Lane where I was tempted to say eff it and eat all the french toast, Kerby queso and mimosas I could handle. But I instead went with egg whites, fruit and whole wheat toast ( I did manage to sneak in a mimosa though). We headed home to be huge dorks and sorted out some of WF's thousands of comic books. He is selling them to complete his collection of X-Men. I know. Anyway we then headed out to run some more errands and took advantage of day light savings by walking up to the frozen yogurt shop by our house with the pup. 

All in all it was a great weekend, and I don't ever want to go back to work. BLAH. Hope you all were able to enjoy your weekends! 

DJ: BOOKED!

We booked our DJ today. We went with a company called Gobo Entertainment. Sandy from the JB and Sandy morning show used them for his wedding. They offered me a 30% discount for having a Sunday wedding and threw in a digital gobo machine for the dance floor. SWEET! I have my choice of four DJ's and will be interviewing them about 6 weeks out from the wedding. So I will let you know who I choose.

For those of you who don't know a gobo machine will let us have our monogram on the dance floor like so:

I am pretty pumped about this choice and feel we got a great deal. I am hoping they listen to my prefernces and I dont have to "Philly" on someones ass if they start to play sonds from my ever growing NO WAY IN HELL play list!
