DIY =)

I love doing creative projects, and this wedding has given me plenty of excuses to head to Michael's =)  Today, I designed, printed and constructed all my reserved seating signs.  Not bad for an afternoon!

I'm pretty happy with them =)

Also, I made my own hair flower!  Instead of buying one off of etsy for $20-40, I made my own for...(drum roll please...) $5!

That's all for now!  Off to clean up before Danny gets home <3

Love,

Before:

Snow Day!!

As much as I hate snow, I do love a snow day! Turns out the girls LOVE looking at the snow! They've been at the balcony door and windows all day just staring at it!

So we thought, what the heck, lets take them out and see how they like it!  Storme sits at the door and just meows and meows cause she wants out all the time, and she CHARGES thru the door anytime comes in!! So, here they are:

LOOK AT STORME'S FACE!!  hahaha omg it was classic!  she's a very very vocal cat, and she was humbling and grumbling the whole time she was stomping thru it!  omg, too funny!

Luna Belle wasn't really a fan, I kinda knew she wouldn't be. She's very timid, afraid of anything!  I could leave the front door open for an hour and I know she wouldn't go out =)  But I wanted her to experience it anyways! hahha

and the aftermath:

And some pics just to document the snow!

This was taken at about 1 pm...we're still supposed to get a lot more snow!  And you can already see my hub-to-be's truck slowly starting to disappear!  You should see my little neon, it's barely there!

Here's the tree off of our balcony.  I admit, it is beautiful!

Ok, going to snuggle with my girls and my love on the couch. What a perfect snow day <3

Moooore wedding stuff!

This wedding has taken over my life!! :) Here's what I've gotten done lately..4 months and 21 days!

i went home to visit momma and my daddy for the last two days, and got some serious wedding stuff done!
our head table mock up:

not quite sure which color of rose petals, but i love how romantic and dreamy it looks :) we also did a half-a$$ mock up of the short centerpieces, and got more materials for the tall ones!


we also got some of the bm gifts:
 solid black, and i'm getting either their names or initials embroidered :)  i got one for me, only in purple! kinda like this, but a little bit diff shade of purple
 n i'll also be getting mine embroidered :)
i also got my veil from crowning glory, but i'm not sure if i'm 100% happy with it (i wanted more fullness) so im having her make an extra piece to add some more poof! (btw, i've been doing laundry ALL day, which is why our room looks a hot mess!!)
 i have no idea how i'm doing my hair...if u can't tell :)


aaaand a couple weeks ago i made this hair flower for my MOH!!



alright, think that's enough for now :)  have a good weekend everyone!

He's to die for!!

Two blog posts in one day!? Man this must be addicting! But I just had to, here's why:

Danny and I are doing this thing called "Fireproof Your Wedding" where each day you get a new "Love Dare". Its usually just easy little things that will make your marriage the best it can be! For ex, yesterday was "You're not allowed to say one negative thing to your spouse all night" so you get the idea!

Well today's was to just buy a little something while out and about to show your spouse that you were thinking of them. Well, while I was out at Sheetz getting chicken fingers I grabbed Danny a bad of Nutter Butter's because I know he LOVES them!

Well, I get home from work to 2 gorgeous daisies, a bottle of my fave wine and a gift card to belle tower spa for a day of relaxation! i could NOT believe it!! i was like WHAT?!?!?

I love him so freakin much. How do I get so lucky? It's so cool that he's taking this whole "love dare" thing seriously...it might just actually make our relationship even better (if possible!!)

Luna Belle!! Man she looks big in this picture :(

"thinking of you..." just like the love dare said! LOL

beautiful!

my life is def better because he's in it =)

Love,

The Shumans
