What I've been up to...

My blogging has been less than desirable the last month or so! I figured the easiest way to catch my readers back up to speed was to post some pictures about what the heck I've been doing...ENJOY!

My Hens and Chicks! One of the easiest "flowers" to plant. They are a succulent , which means they store water; Translates to hard to kill and can grown almost anywhere!

I ran my first 5k a couple weekends ago! I was second to last but also walked the whole thing. Thanks to my awesome sister in law's to be for walking with me!

Hanging out with my amazing, wonderful, cute, 14 month old Niece! 

There are less than 100 days til my wedding. To remember that day, my sister and sister in law sent me 100 daisy blossoms and the sweetest poem ever! It made me cry!

We harvested the first crop of radishes out of the garden! More than what I expected have come up so let me know if you need some radishes...

Whirl Wind Weekend

I'm not sure how some of you bloggers out there find time to actually sit down and blog on the weekend! I envy being able to do that. Maybe its because I'm in the last couple months leading up to the wedding, or because I feel like i'm constantly picking up and sweeping dog hair off everything! This weekend was very productive though; I went home to my parents house and we got started on the flowers for the wedding. Below is one of the bridesmaids bouquets. I think all the flowers we did turned out absolutely amazing! In case you didn't notice, or figure it out, we are using silk flowers for the wedding. I think doing so gives you an amazing keepsake from the day. I also have been in two wedding where they used silk and have my  bouquets on display in my home. 

This weekend was also great because we got to have a sleep over with my niece. She is a cutie patootie and I love every minute I get to spend with her! Other than the fact that she was  not feeling good and got up super early, I love watching elmo and the ducks with her on youtube.

I hope everyone had a great weekend too!

One Hundred 14

Ya know that saying, "Time flys when you're having fun"? Well apparently that has been true this past few months because There are only 114 days until the wedding! I know that seems like a lot but my to-do list is growing daily!! Right after Kyle popped the question last July I got to planning pretty quick because I want our wedding to be perfect, er perfectly us. All the big stuff has been taken care of but now we are to the little details....like centerpieces, decor, flowers, food, showers, registering, ah!

Below is a picture of the flowers we are using for the pew decoration. According to Kyles mother we could do nothing to our church and it would be perfect. For those that have never been, it is an older catholic church with  a lot of character. Seeing it my entire life though and knowing its decoration potential...its getting dolled up!

I really love the way these are turning out. There will be two sets like this and two with a simple white hydrangea tossed in. I think they are simple but yet so elegant. I've also been on the galvanized/mason jar/chic country vibe lately.

One thing I haven been trying to focus on during our wedding planning is making this wedding right for Kyle and I. It seems like there are so many trends and new things to do at weddings; however, Kyle and I are pretty traditional people. We both can also be pretty reserved. I really believe that what we are planning for our wedding is going to be perfectly us and I can't wait to see how everything comes together!
