Adventures In: Being a Blog Failure.

Guys, ok person who may or may not be reading this.

I'm seriously the worst blogger ever.

Life got in the way....or the fact that I'm boring, and have nothing to write about.

Probably the latter.

Whoops.

Quick updates:

We've set a wedding date!!! YAY!!!

This northern Indiana winter is the worst ever. I don't think this town will fully thaw for a long while, and that makes my heart so very sad.

Work sorta blows. I've been doing a 2-3 person job alone about 80% of the week. It's no fun at all.

I'm reconnecting with a friend who I had a falling out with, always nice. I'm such a clinger, it's hard for me to let go of people, and when I'm forced to it's really hard for me. This re connection has be super awesome!

The holidays were fabulous!

The fiance has a birthday coming up soon. Yay for the part of the year that I'm only 4 years older than him, instead of 5! :) #robbingthecradle :)

Okay.
I promise I'll try to be a better blogger!!

Adventures In: The Little Things

So I woke up this morning, before the sun, which is something I despise! A few mins before I was ready to leave I looked outside and grumbled to myself something about how I should not be leaving my house for work, of all things before the sun is out.

Jump to a few mins later, walking to my car, and pause because I see the most beautiful lovely pink happy fabulous sunrise.

It's the simple things loves!!


I didn't try to take a picture because I knew my little iPhone 4 couldn't/wouldn't do it justice. But for the whole ride to work I was smiling, loving the cotton candy blue and pink sky.

I hope your day got off to a great start too my loves!

Happy Tuesday!!

Adventures In: Becoming a LEGIT Bride!

Ya'll. I'm a legit bride now!

Until last night I was a fiance, now I'm a bride too. There is a difference, at least in my head.

I fiance is a bride who isn't in the stages of planning her wedding. That's not me any longer!

Mr. BRad has been bit by the planning bug, and is ready to get things rolling.

So last night we ventured to Target at 9pm to get a wedding planning binder! Yay for organization!! 

Today I exchanged emails, and phone calls with the possible venue, and we are meeting them/touring the site on Sunday!! Brad has been emailing with the possible caterer's, we'll be setting up a tasting soon too. 

The wedding still is going to happen until 2015, but getting thing started has been so much fun. 

We actually even bought vases for our center pieces this weekend. Umm hello Michael's clearance sales!!! Vases that were normal 9.99 for 1.99 each! SCORE!!! 

I love that BRad and I have very similar visions for what we want in this wedding. I'm even more exciting that he's, so far, willing and eager to take part in the planning. I'm a lucky girl!!

Okay friends that's all for now.

Anyone reading this has the right to call me out/shake me/etc if I turn into a bridezilla!!! :)

Adventures In: Upcoming Adventures

Ya'll I can NOT wait to for October!!

I'm babysitting/having a best friends day on the 4th with my sweet "niece". Her brother and I start calling our special fun days "Best Friends Day". AddiCakes had been included, but we've never had a one on one day. I'm very excited!!! She cracks me up when we talk on the phone. She's developing such a big personality!

They next day the bestie, her hubs, the niece and nephew and I will meet up with my love in Indy for a Children's Museum adventure. I've never been, but I'm pretty excited.

The next weekend my love and I are off to my home town for The Fall Festival. The 2nd largest street fair in the US!!! He's never been. All my Evansville people know he's in for a treat!!! I'm excited!!! Yummy food, rides, THE MOUSE GAME!!!!  Eeeks. Excited!!

We also have a possible wedding venue in mind. We are going to check out that tommorw possibly. My lovely fiancé is getting pretty into wedding planning mode. It's adorable.

I adventured to the downtown Farmer's Market today with Brad's mom, aka Momma Bear. I loved it!! Yay for new things!

Ok lovelies. Hope you are all having a happy fall!!

Adventures In: Wedding Venue Heartbreaks!

Okay okay.

I know I said we weren't making any official wedding plans yet, but I have started informally looking around at venues.

I'm going to have to sell a kidney on the black market to pay for a wedding!!

I've found a few venues that I LOVEEEE then I get their price sheets, and I fall over dead.

One place for the room and the food alone (no chairs/no tables/no liens/no soup for you) was $10,000. Yes 10 freakin' grand!  FOR A BARN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wedding venues be straight TRIPPIN'!!!!

Please please anyone give me suggestions for venues in the Indy/Bloomington area that won't make me have a stroke when I see the price tags.

Darn me and my champagne dreams on my beer budget!! :)

Anyhoo-- happy Fall to my lovely readers!!

This is my favorite season!!

I'm super pumped to head back to Evansville for the Fall Festival!!

Adventures In: Wedding.... Dreaming?

Yes it's true I've already started having wedding dreams.

We aren't officially planning anything yet, but I've had at least 2 dreams.

The first one is fuzzy.

In the one I had last night everything was going wrong. OH NO!

I didn't have enough time to plan things, it was my wedding day, and none of the projects were done. I didn't have time to craft all the thing I wanted to. I was asking family members for help, and they wouldn't help me. It was bad news bears.

Lets hope that this is NOT for shadowing of how things will really go down. It can't be. I'm too anal about things being on time/planning etc.

It's just funny to me I'm already having wedding dreams.

I wonder how nuts my dreams will get once we set a date, and really get this wedding planning show on the road!!

Any other brides/brides-to-be have wedding dreams? Nightmares?

Adventures In: ioS7

So here are my thoughts on the new IOS7 for iphones.

I like several of the features, however the overall look, to me, is cheap and ghetto. Honestly, it's just so basic- not what I'd expect from Apple!  

Here's what I am loving though (so far)

iTunes Radio: hello no ads. So long Pandora!!! I'm really loving this! 

The fact that you can open the flashlight from the home screen. Came in super handy last night when the boyfriendy  fiance fell asleep before me! 

I haven't played around with it much, but so far I do like the camera changes, and the way the "MOMENTS" and "YEARS" are organized in the photo albums. That's pretty cool to look at. 

The way the windows are organized in Safari are pretty neat. But nothing to write home about I guess.

I like the weather app a lot more too.

To be fair I only have a 4 so some of the changes/updates I'm not privy to. 

Anyhow. 

I really have no clue why I wanted to write this. Just sharing my thoughts with the world  :) (That and I'm super bored at work today!) 

Have a lovely day!
