Wedding planning! And organizing my birthday weekend...

This week I have really been in the wedding planning mode. Sunday, my dear friend (and of course bridesmaid) Stacey was over and we did some flower planning...since she's doing my flowers... :) She found a picture on Pinterest a while ago of a bouquet that had Scrabble tiles on the stem wrap. I LOVE Scrabble so we definitely decided to go with it. Mine will have my married last name on it, my 3 girls will be Faith, Love, and Joy and my goddaughter flower girl's pomander will say Hope. So much fun! 


I ordered 2 sets of Scrabble tiles online, and with the extra tiles we were thinking it would be fun to have a Scrabble game to make us kiss instead of the clinking of the glasses. We still have to work out the details though.


Today, my mom came over after work and we went to one of the bridal stores in town and I actually tried on dresses. It was definitely surreal, but fun to narrow down the style of dress I might wear. We actually had 2 favorites when we left so if I get it there, I have an idea of what it would be :)


Next week Friday is my 24th birthday...in the scheme of things it's not a major birthday, but my mom told me yesterday she thought we would all (my family) get together at my parent's house for supper..... All is good and fine but with working til 5 (or 6 or 7 for Chad), then driving a half hour it makes the night long. So then we decided, let's have it at my house...my parents and brother and sister would still have to drive, but my brother hasn't seen my house yet so it's a win-win for us. But I don't know, we'll have to see what actually gets planned.


The other thing I keep asking people for an opinion on is what to make for a treat to take to work. Cookies, bars or cupcakes??? I could make a couple kinds of cookies...or a pan of bars....or cupcakes if I want to be creative and decorate them. Such a quandary. Thoughts??? 


Have a great end of April!

Changes!

Jeepers, I really need to either give up or try harder to write on here more. Not that I'm convinced anyone reads it, but it's still out there and I like to think maybe someone DOES read it. 


Anyway, Chad and I have moved into our own house (beginning of March) and things are almost completely put away!!! It definitely feels like home. We have had some issues with chipmunks but a few rat traps and they were taken care of. Although I am not a fan of harming little animals, or any animals for that matter, it doesn't really bug me cuz I'd rather have them gone then be paranoid they're in the garage and our vehicles and such. 


Easter was a crazy busy weekend, we bowled a tournament on Saturday afternoon, went to eat Saturday night, then Sunday traveled all day but I did make some awesome brownies for each Easter celebration. My family got walnut brownies, and Chad's family got marshmallow brownies. They were moist and chocolaty and delicious.


Today I decided to try Twitter for the 3rd time. I think this time it's going to grow on me.  


I am hoping to be baking soon again, but things are just constantly busy around here. Planning a wedding, getting settled in the house, and still trying to have a life keeps us busy. Give me a few days, I'll try to have something up, although it won't be fancy, it'll be delicious. :)
