Tonight.

Via

My night is looking a whole lot better than I thought it would. 

Blake informed me that Drive is now on Instant Netflix... so can you guess what I'm watching right now?

Drive, honeymoon planning, looking at wedding inspiration and filling my notebooks full of ideas. 

Tonight is good.

Have a happy weekend!

I Have Bridesmaids!

 I've been browsing wedding blogs long enough to know that I needed a super good way to ask my bff's to be in my wedding. I actually had a completely different idea in mind when I walked into Hobby Lobby but walked out with supplies to make something entirely different. Here's what I came up with:

A bracelet was pretty much a no brainer as a gift for Breigh; we like to have little BFF type trinkets like this (I got us bracelets once that we both wore until they literally were falling apart). I decided to keep all of the bracelets the same for all the girls and make secret message bracelets! Good news: they loved them, and I am so happy with the way they turned out! I gave Breigh's hers first, and she was so surprised when she got it. I sent Claire's in the mail, along with her graduation card, so I'm pretty sure it came as a surprise to her, too. ;) And I gave Cassie her's last night! She'd seen Breigh wearing her bracelet and begged to know where she got it, but Breigh wouldn't tell her, so she was so happy when I gave her one of her own! I just thought this was a perfect, simple little keepsake to remember the whole planning process!
Colby is also a part of my wedding party, but I didn't think that a bracelet was quite fitting for him, so I just flat out asked him... he said yes and then asked what he could wear. Love him!

So there you have it! My side of the wedding party is official! I'm so excited and I can't wait to plan this little shindig with my best friends! I love you Breigh, Claire, Cassie and Colby! ♥

(and of course... we Instagrammed every time they got their little present!)

(Claire lives in Arkansas so I had to send hers in the mail! But she just told me today that she'll be visiting in the summer to help me plan! I'm so happy to have her by my side during all of this!)

Currently.

Obsessing over planning. I won't go into too much detail, but Blake and I are in the process of figuring out details for our honeymoon. We want to get all of those plans out of the way first, so then we can focus on wedding details. We are so excited! I can't wait to share more... I have a blog post planned for the occasion. :)

Working on nothing, really. The semester is over (thankfully), and I have a reading list to attend to. Let the lazy commence.

Thinking about moving soon. Our lease is up in September, and unless I continue living with Anna and Isaac (which I think they are moving out as well), then I can't live here as a student (silly restrictions!)... so, I've been searching for apartments. Breigh and I would like to live together before Blake and I get married, so I'm trying to work with that, but I think it's in my best interest to move in with the family I work for (in the nanny apartment). We'll see. I'm just not sure of anything yet!

Listening to Beach House's Teen Dream. Because I refuse to listen to the new album. Call it weird or whatever, but I will never let go of Teen Dream. #favoriteforeverandever

Wishing for ice cream... or better yet, Pineapple Whip!  I'm ready for a good summertime treat.

I don't have much to say these days. I have been so consumed with work and school (and reading up a storm lately), that I haven't really made time for much else. I do have something to share with you all once I'm done sharing the news with everyone else... I'm excited about this!

Life (and a playlist for your Friday)

Life gets so crazy sometimes. It's (nearly) finals week and I've been scrambling to finish projects and get everything in order so finals week won't be as stressful as it usually is. But enough about that - one of my very best friends is graduating high school today! Claire, you are the best, best, best! I can't wait to see you soon (because I just want you know - yes, you will be road tripping here this summer, even if I have to come down there and kidnap you!) I stayed the night with Breigh last night. We ate chinese food (Oriental Inn is the best in the area, I'm not joking), we watched Friends, looked at apartments online, and wedding planned and painted our nails. Essentially, we got nothing of importance done. And that's what's happening today. We're currently watching What Not To Wear and napping. I love days like this. I love my best friends. 

So, in honor of school being (basically) over and the weather is getting so nice as of lately - I wanted to share my summer playlist with you all! It is full of new and old songs, all of my favorites from the past few years. A ton of these remind me of my final days of high school, when Breigh and I got in the habit of hitting up Sonic for Happy Hour and then going tanning... we were silly girls! Anyways - enjoy my extremely eclectic early summer mix!

Currently.

Obsessing over my new blog layout! It's so girly and cute - perfect for me! It was done by Steven Andrew - he's one of Colby's blog pals, and I love Colby's layout, so I knew I could trust Steven with mine! I think he did a fantastic job. :)

Working on wedding invites with my dad. Who knew I'd be designing these with my papa?! One of his bff's is a graphic designer, and so we found a few examples that I like and he's going to create something for us! I'm so excited about this - he designed my grad party invites a few years ago, and they were so adorable (Dr. Seuss themed - My mom's idea).

Thinking about getting a pet fish. My apartment doesn't allow pets (or so I thought, but I'm seeing a lot of dogs around lately), and I need an animal of some sort to call my own. Ever since I can remember I've wanted a dog but my parents never let me get one, so I swore I'd get one when I moved out. And where did I move to? An apartment that doesn't allow pets. So. A fish it is. And maybe I'll save the dog for when Blake and I get married.

Listening to this song. It's so hilarious. I love Lana Del Rey... and I love Hunger Games, so obviously this was spoof is funny to me.

Wishing for the next week or so to speed by. I'm so done with school.
