Out the window

So, okay, I have a confession. The lowercase typing has caused me so much grief and guilt that I can't do it anymore. I am a phenomenal (ok, so, maybe an overexaggeration) English major, taking an outstanding Advanced Grammar class and I can no more put my audience through this linguistic trauma. So, forgive me, and I will henceforth use proper capitalization and punctuation. ;)


Today has been one of the busiest days at the hospital I've had in quite some time. I have seen over twelve patients and barely got to choke down some chicken for lunch (which, sigh, did not go over well since I am on the shallow end of sickness).

However, the day is almost over! I get to leave here at 4, and I will then recess to my room in my comfy PJs, watch the Food Network, and do homework.. which I have a ton of! I also want to do a little more wedding planning. Since school started, it has gone on the back burner, but no more! I have GOT to buy fabric ASAP to start making my table cloths/table runners... I can't put that off any longer.

Also, I am frustrated like whoa because a few months or weeks ago (I can't even remember) I saw a gorgeous DIY Save-the-Date that I completely wanted to make.. but I can't find it anywhere in my bookmarks, and I've googled like crazy and can't find it there either! It was a cute little library card envelope with the date stamped on, and a small strip of photobooth photos in it! I know I could basically just make something up along those lines, but I would love to find it and the guidelines. Anyone have any idea? Would be much appreciated!

Okay, off to write my article for the paper, and maybe find some water cause I'm severely parched.

so much cuteness!

so i've decided to go through my wedding folder on my desktop and sort of peruse it and post what ideas i'm having. i have so much stuff, guys, it's ridiculous. but i just want everything and everything is so cute! even stuff that's not really that cute is cute because i'm excited!

first of all, here's the bling. i love it. i picked it out, so i better love it! it sparkles like magic and the wedding band is just like the band on this ring (as well as the anniversary band... ahem).. and i just love it! it sparkles in the sun, it sparkles in the moonlight.. it lights my path at nighttime when there is no light! ahhh, sigh, it's magnificent. plus, of course, when people compliment it i say 'you should see the man that goes with it!' :)

i didn't even know where to begin... i was overwhelmed. so, of course, i went to my all-time favorite wedding website: the knot. honestly, that's wher e every bride should start. it just sort of throws you into the world of wedding and there's a little bit of everything. you don't have to do anything they tell you to, but you get so many ideas, it's crazy.

sooo, i thought to myself, what does a traditional southern wedding need? a save the date. y'all don't know how awkward my family would feel receiving an invitation without having gotten a save the date card first. i know it's technically not an obligation, but, they're cute, and in my family, necessary.

i've basically had the theme of my wedding planned since i was ohh sixteen. i've always had a deep love for all things antique and vintage, soft colors and most importantly, birds and trees. weird, i know. but i love them! i think birds are absolutely adorable and trees are beautiful in every aspect. they're aesthetically pleasing (most of them are, at least), they provide us with oxygen, duh, and they are like the protectors and guardians of all pieces of land. it's like they listen to everything around them and they are like the most patient and enduring parts of the earth. okay, hippie rant over.

on to more pictures!

sorry this one's a little blurry, guys, but, i'm new to the blogworld, so, again, any help is very very welcome. i've tried using this picasa blogger uploader, but i can't figure out how to upload more than one picture per post. i'm legally blog-retarded, i hate to tell ya.

anyhow, this is the save the date that i fell in love with! do you see the birds? yes! also, you may not be able to see it, but on the bench is carved 'you+me'.. they are courtesy of wedding paper divas and are extremely inexpensive, but way cute. i didn't do much searching after that because i really thought they were so perfect.

as a side note, i don't know if i've mentioned this to y'all, but our budget is $10,000.00. we are going to try to do it with less, if that's possible, but no more! we will make cuts and sacrifices and do whatever it takes, but, the most important part is a) that we stay under budget and b) that we are in love and marrying each other. yay!

someone PLEASE help me with picture uploading. this is crazy.
