Hopper Wedding.. Prep Week - Part 1

I guess you could say that since Coach and I were married in November, I am a little behind on the wedding posts. 

Better late than never right???

These shots were from the week of the Big Day. 

Paint, paint, paint, and paint some more. So thankful and happy family was there to help!

This was such a fun night hanging out and getting things done. Sometimes I almost wish I could go back to this week just so I could relive the wedding day over again. Call me ridiculous but I can't seem to let go how fast rehearsal and the wedding day flew by! (not yet anyway)

Since going back in time will not be happening anytime soon, I can say I am also thankful for these memories being caught on camera.

Thanks to my Gigi for her awesome photog skills! 

I think I repainted these words at least 5 times. I think my OCD came out to its fullest. Took. For. Ever.

I wish I would've taken more time on these letters. These were all painted the morning of the wedding. I think it is safe to say that I was O.V.A. it!! 

Lots of Love!

Friday's Letters

Dear Friday, I thought you were here yesterday. It's OK tho, because you are finally here... Dear Weekend, PUH--leeze don't fly by like you did last week. I would like some time to enjoy you... Dear Mama Dove, I am so sorry if Coach and I disturbed you. We didn't mean any harm and I am so thankful that your unhatched babies are safe and sound. I even went back Tuesday to check on you in the barn and I am happy to see you returned to your nest... Dear 3-Amigos, thank you for avoiding the horse "perfume" after your baths Monday. If I had to give you another bath I think you would have to sign me up for back surgery. Holy pain... Dear Sun, I would be ever so thankful if you were out this weekend so I can catch some of your rays. I am tired of being Casper and my spray tan lady is on vaca. How dare her... Dear Blonde-BLONDE Locks, I am SO thrilled you are back after such a long time being gone... 

Dear Husband, it's so uncool of you that you didn't even notice. STRIKE ONE of the weekend.

Lots of Love and Happy Friday everyone!

Sunday Social

Happy Sunday!

Time for another Sunday Social and I really couldn't resist this one since we are talking shopping and style!

What is your favorite store to shop at?

Hands down it used to be Express. I would say that is what 80% of my closet is.. A couple of seasons ago I couldn't really find anything I loved and since then that has continued. Recently I have only bought a couple of tops with coupons and a birthday gift certificate they sent me. Saving and budgeting for a wedding  really helped me become a bargain shopper. It's like a switch just went off.. I am all about trying to get a sale/bargain/steal than ever, whereas before, I wouldn't have thought twice about it. .. The other 20% of my closet is Target. I'm sure many of you would agree with me it's a conspiracy they place the women's clothing right at the front door!

There are also boutique's around my hometown with very reasonable prices for some major cute clothes and jewelry. 

If you could afford anything and everything, which designer brand would you covet?

I would say Christian Louboutin. Yes please to those red bottom shoes!! Red is my favorite color!.. they were just MEANT for me!!

What is your must have closet staple?

Scarves and a piece of jewelry that makes your outfit. 

What is your favorite kind of shoes? (brand or type)

I just love shoes.. I can't pick just one. 

What is the best clothing deal you have ever gotten? (sale or amazing find)

I know this isn't clothes, but I got a Ralph Lauren down comforter a few years ago for almost nothing!! Macy's was having a sale and I had a gift card for $50). I found this RL King size, the only one left, it had a price tag of $300 on it with no sale sticker so I took it to the register to find out if it was on sale. I can't remember what it was down to, sorry, but it was, I had the gift card and for every $50 you spent they had coupons waiting for you at the counter for some kind of promo they were doing. With all of that added up I got that comforter for 80 BUCKS!!! Let me just say, I RAN SPRINTED out of that Macy's so fast because I thought for sure they had made a mistake. I still have it to this day and it is in excellent condition. 

What is a style you would love to try?

I would totally rock these head pieces if I knew I wouldn't get laughed at. 
Love. 

Lots of Love!

A Devotion

One of my dear clients had been telling me about one of her favorite devotional books. It's called Jesus Calling by Sarah Young and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. 

They are short and sweet but so meaningful and this past weekend I couldn't help but to read several.

Here is one of my favorites so far. 

(You may have already seen me post this on my IG.)

Let Me help you get through this day. There are many possible paths to travel between your getting up in the morning and your lying down at night. Stay alert to the many choice-points along the way, being continually aware of My Presence. You will get through this day one way or the other. One way is to moan and groan, stumbling along with shuffling feet. This will get you to the end of the day eventually, but there is a better way. You can choose to walk with Me along the path of Peace, leaning on Me as much as you need. There will still be difficulties along the way, but you can face them confidently in My strength. Thank Me for each problem you encounter, and watch to see how I transform trials into blessings.

1 Corinthians 10:10; Luke 1:79

Sunday Social

Time for another Sunday Social! Hope everyone is having a wonderful, relaxing Sunday!

What is your biggest driving pet peeve?

When people drive 30 mph in the fast lane. UGH!!! Get your slow butt over in the slow lane where you belong!

What is your biggest blogger pet peeve?

When I want to respond to a blogger and turns out they are a no-reply. And just another word verification. 

What is your biggest general pet peeve?

When someone is standing on top of me, breathing down my neck, in a check out line. You aren't going to get checked out any faster being all up in my space!

What is your most irrational fear?

SPIDERS!! All sizes. Can't even look at them. And don't come near me with one. You will meet your maker. 

Name 3 celebrities you would want to have dinner with.

In order:

Miranda Lambert... Leonardo DiCaprio... Vince Vaughn.
