Saturday Surprises/ Early Birthday Present!!

My sweet fiance' surpirsed me with an early birthday present! I have been eyeing this ring for a few weeks now, so he surpised me with it on Saturday... My birthday is this Friday (I will be 23!!) but he could not wait until then... and I am glad he didn't;)
Another great plus!... it matches my bridesmaid dresses!!!




I don't know what I'm going to do with this sweetheart;)

Thank you so much babe!!

Monday Memories!!

This is going to be a quick post... crazy day filled with class, homework, wedding stuff, and work! Ugh, back to reality!

We had a great Spring Break together...

we headed to Wind Creek Wednesday afternoon, and came back Saturday night! We did not take the boat with us this time because he just winterized it... and the weather did not cooperate the first part of the week... We had so much fun anyway! Six other families joined us. We cooked out every night, relaxed, had campfires and made smores', and laughed!! I just love it at Wind Creek, it's so simple and laid back! We plan on going back at the end of April and memorial day! Then we will spend all summer long on the lake and camping!!:)

I was relaxing so much I didn't even take any pictures! Well, one of Lee flying an Elmo kite but he may kill me if I post it!!;)

Hope Everyone had a great Spring Break! and I'm jealous of those just starting theirs!!

HAPPY MONDAY EVERYONE!!

(Only 4 more days until FRIDAY!! :)

Nothing much new in the wedding world...

I went to pick up the fabric of my bridesmaid dresses. Mom is wanting to make a few things with it. I am excited about that! My thank you cards came in for each of my bridesmaids.... I will post pictures of them later! They are really cute!

I still have not heard from the caterer... hopefully after Spring Break!!

I have several things in mind as far as flowers... but I can't quiet nail something down! I have so many different ideas going on in my mind! Sometimes, I lay in bed for hours just thinking! Sad, I know... I have to get up and make a list to rest my mind... Sounds so strange ;)

Tomorrow we are heading to the lake! It's going to be chilly, but camp fires are always fun!! I need to get away and relax before school starts back!!

On the wedding list:

-find the perfect Bride Book

- find cake server/knife

-find some flutes

- shoes and jewery!

-Bridesmaid gifts

-ring bearer pilliow/flower girl basket

-order engagement photos

-Get my man's wedding band!!

- I would love to find some pretty photo albums! (Any ideas??)

-continue searching for honeymoon clothes!!

-dresses for parties and tea (Ideas please?:)

-start searching for wedding cake/groom's cake!

Hope everyone is having a great week so far!

Beauty Tip Tuesdays!

My sister and I are obsessed with beauty products, doing girly beauty stuff, etc. Soo...on Tuesdays, I am going to share a few my favorites!


In yesterday's post I talked about the hair product I use to scrunch/curl my hair. I thought they were taking it off the market, but you can still find it on the internet... I love it because, in the past, when I would scrunch my hair it would look like noodles, but this is like a serum, so it just looks curly! It is great for the spring/summer time; especially when you're at the lake or beach, you can just wet it, put it in, and go! and You still feel good!;) It was only $7.00 at Sally's:( But you can still get it for $9.00, plus a couple of dollars for shipping... not too bad;)




This is another product by marc daniels. It is awesome for those of you who have fine hair, like ME! You just apply it before you dry your hair, and it gives you a little boost! (I am sure it would be great for all hair types!;)

Another quick hair tip: After my hair is dry, I put in the big velcro rollers ($4.00 @ Sally's) leave them in while I put on my clothes/jewery/perfume, take them out, brush out my hair, spray it, and ready to go!;) Hope these work for you!

Happy Tuesday Everyone!:)

Monday Memories!!

It seems we have been having very laid-back weekends lately... but I have really enjoyed it!

Friday

I studied all day, because I had to take the YUCKY, DREADFUL Praxis on Saturday:( So we just relaxed, ate, studied, watched tv, ate some more, studied, watched tv, ate some more etc.;)

Saturday

I woke up bright and early and headed to take the PRAXIS.... I studied the book made for the test, and not a THING I studied was on it! I am not going lie, it was NOT easy... I flew through the math part (math is my subject;)... the english part was ok, science was not so easy, but the History, Wow, I had no clue!!! I am NOT a history person!! So, I am just hoping I passed it by luck!

After the test, I met Lee and his parents at Red Lobster and ate some yummy cheese bisquits (like I needed them). I am supposed to be eating healthy and working out for this wedding coming up! And I am doing worse than I ever have!! They say happiness brings you pounds, and it is SO true!! I have gained like 8 pounds!! I would rather be happy though;) But changes are going to be made very soon! Now that the weather is warming up, I will be able to run, and go to Oak Mountain with Lee!! I have Spring Fever badly! Anyway, I stopped at TJ Max before Lee and his parents got there, I have always been a Ross shopper, but I was very impressed!! They were much neater and organized!

Lee and I love looking at houses and getting ideas, so after lunch we rode around in Trussville and Hoover! I love looking and getting ideas!!

That night, we relaxed:)

Sunday

We ate lunch at Firebird's and had some errands to run like: Sam's, Lowe's, and we went to every Sally's Beauty Supply b/c they have discontinued the product I use to scrunch my hair!! I was so upset, but the internet always saves you!! It should be here by tomorrow!;) Summer time is when I need it most!!

Last night we met my family for dinner at Habenaras! Then we all watched The Amazing Race!

It is the first time in like 20 years for UAB to have the same spring break as everyone else! So, Lee and I are excited about that! We are heading to the lake Wednesday and staying through the weekend! :)

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend!! and I hope those off for Spring Break relax & ENJOY!:)
