Wow!

I know it has been far too long since I last blogged. Things for me are going well. After 9 years in my current position I got a promotion at work! I have been at my new job 5 weeks and I am really liking it so far. I am very busy, so it makes the times pass quickly. :) D and have been married almost 4 months. (I cannot believe that it has been that long already!) We both have been extremely busy at work, so that makes life tough at times. I sometimes wish that we can just pick up and go! Anywhere....just away....the two of us. No phones, no TV, no distractions, just US!!

My sweet DH sent me these beautiful flowers at my office. I was so surprised!!!
Aren't they beautiful? We have dinner reservations this weekend, and I cannot wait! D....I love you so much! (sorry for the graininess of the photo...it was taken on my camera phone)

Today is the day I have waited for......

When I woke up today, I realized that today is the day I have waited for all my life. Today, I will become D's wife. I cannot believe this day has finally come. We are so fortunate to have found one another, and I am so happy I can BUST!!! All the many months of planning have finally led up today.

The weather is supposed to be gorgeous here, and I cannot wait to walk down the aisle... outdoors!!!

I am off to get my hair and makeup done. After that, a limo ride to what begins the rest of my life. I am so excited.....I can hardly stand it!!

One of the HAPPIEST days!!!

Yesterday, while I was surfing my favorite websites, I saw the most fabulous thing!! The photos that Tara Whitney took of us in NYC, were posted on her website! www.tarawhitney.com

Never in a million years did I ever expect to see them there. I love them , and I cannot wait until they are hanging on our walls. She is amazing, and we cannot wait to do another shoot with her.

With the wedding being so close, we wanted to have a few for our video slide show. Tara's timing was perfect, and now our guests will get to see them too! Feel free to take a look!!

Photo Shoot with Tara Whitney!!!

Last year, while reading Tara's blog, I saw that she was taking requests for where she would be traveling to this year. I sent her an e-mail, and crossed my fingers. You see, when D and I got engaged, we never got to take photos. We wanted to, but never had the chance. Yesterday, we got the chance. (see, crossing your fingers does work)

Tara contacted me soon after writing to her, and once she said NYC was option, I wanted it! We had planned to do the shoot in Central Park. I figured it was a terrific background. [right?] However, what I didn't know was that the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure was going on at the same time. So, between Saturday evening, and Sunday morning, Tara and I spoke about 4-5 times, and after driving around for 1 hour and 1/2 [looking for parking], we finally met her!!!!

She was phenomenal....we had so much fun....we were silly....we were serious, and I am so amazed at what she can capture. We really felt very fortunate to have her photograph us.

I cannot wait to see the pics.....Yesterday was really one of the best days of my life! Thanks so much Tara!!

Good Thoughts

Good thoughts needed. Lots of them please.

I'm BACK!!

It has been far too long since I last blogged. Life has taken me in so many different directions lately, and today, I have decided to start again.

Wedding plans are going GREAT! In less than two months, I will be D's wife. I love how that sounds. (invitations go postal THIS weekend!!!) We still have little things to finalize, but all in all, the BIG stuff is done. We are going to my friends wedding this weekend, and I am looking forward to dancing with my man. :) I am starting to pack up things so that when we make the "move", I will be ready. I cannot believe how much stuff I have. I have to pack up two packages for my SS's, and get those in the mail by this weekend.

Have a doctors appt. today, and little errands to run.

Have a fabulous day.....
and D if you are reading this....I love you so.....

Thanks BonnieRose!

I was reading BonnieRose's blog
and saw that she added a link from a site called Twitter.com
I just posted it on my blog too, (hope you don't mind?) and now I can update what I am doing throughout the day. Friends can post too!! Thanks BonnieRose...great site!

Guess what I bought today??

Since December, I have been wanting a Wii. I know that I probably don't need it, but I really wanted it. So, I began calling all over (TRU, Best Buy, Walmart...you get the picture) and no one had them in stock. After awhile, I simply gave up. Well, today, while in Walmart, I asked if they had any in stock. The usual answer is "no", or "we sold the last one an hour ago". However, today was different....the salesgirl said YES!!!!!!!!!

So, I am officially a Wii owner! and I love it!

This should be fun!

Challenge:

Let's talk hygiene for just a moment.
What personal care products do you use, on a daily basis, that you just couldn't live without?
Things like, skin cleansers, soaps, body lotions.. etc ...

On a daily basis, I use a lot of different products. So, let's start at the beginning.

In the morning, I use Aveeno Positively Radiant Cleanser. I love this stuff.
Then, I use this. Aveeno Positively Ageless Moisturizer.
In the shower, I am a LUSH junkie. I use the following almost everyday.

Godiva solid shampoo. I love the way it smellsThen, I use a combination of the following products: The Olive Branch Shower and Flying Fox Shower gels. (the olive branch leaves your body feeling so soft, really no need to moisturize)


Then I use Honey I was the kids soap. (and I use the honey comb on top as a loofah!) It smells amazing!


After the shower, I use Dream Cream.


Then, I use Silky Underwear. Perfect powder, and leaves your body feeling silky all over.


That's what I use daily. I do change my shampoo every few days, but normally, I use my Lush stash.

Thanks for reading!!

Have a great day!

Happy Mothers Day!!

Last night, my sister and I took our mom to the Melting Pot for dinner. We had so much fun, as well as tons of laughs. For years, I have been trying to get her to go, and yesterday, she finally agreed. We had an amazing meal, and most importantly, we were together. Next Mothers Day, I will be married, and no longer living here, so it was important to me to make this year EXTRA special. Since we went out last night, I am bbq'ing today....lamb chops, chicken burgers, hamburgers, hotdogs, and lots of sides.

Wishing all of the Mom's out there a very Happy Mother's Day....enjoy today, you deserve it.

To my mom and Mrs. B....love you both!!!!
