July Update

So its been a while since I have updated this blog. I have had the last week off from work which has been really nice. My mom (JoAnn) has been in town to help me with a lot of wedding stuff. The day is almost here(70 days!) and getting closer everyday and I can't wait. I can't wait to be married to Mike and start our lives together. Anyways this week we made the invitations(no photo for that one...you'll have to wait til you get yours in the mail...that is if you are invited), we or mom really addressed the envelopes so they are ready to be mailed off. This first photo is a sneak peek of our monogram that is on everything that I have made...you'll have to wait til the big day to see all that fun stuff. They are super cute and very simple...love it.


We also made flower balls (with the help of the faboulous Auburn Jones..thanks for everything). I thought it was going to take like 2 days do make 6 of these things but I got them done in one afternoon..how stoked was I. I know for a fact that I do not want to see the inside of a JoAnn's or Michael's for a while...we have been there like 5 times this week...twice in one day when the lady forgot to give us our glue sticks(kind of needed to glue flowers on). Anyways loved how they turned out and here is a preview of one.

We also found my shoes and my mom found her shoes as well. We traveled all the way to upper Scottsdale to look at a Wedding store but passed a DSW on the way. It was like a completely different DSW that I normally go to here in Gilbert/Chandler. It was way huge and I found 3 pairs of shoes. It was very hard to choose from them but I made my choice and I love them. Not too tall and opened toe with a cute rhinestone buckle on the side.
Well there you have it. I hope to update a little more frequently on this thing. Leave me a comment if you have any questions for me...love to hear from you.
