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: Nashville

So I had this massive post started about Nashville. But, honestly who is really going to read all that nonsense. 

Quick review. 

 

Trip down fun, lots of laughing, talking, singing along with the radio. Felt like it went by quick. 

We ate awesome food. 

The Dog of Nashville 

Blvd. Nashville

Monelle's (with my beloved former RA!! Thanks again Kricia) 

We saw awesome sights. 

The Strip 

Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum

The Blue Bird Cafe 

Antique Archeology (will always be special to me) 

The Ryman

Etc. 

The Butch Walker concert was amazing. As always.   Just amazing. 

Met cool people in line! 

The hotel sucked. The pool was closed. Thank goodness the neighbor hotel let us swim. Super relaxing. 

The trip home was fun. Stopped at

Sad Sam (fireworks and souvenirs) 

Lost River Caverns 

The National Corvette Museum 

That's a quick summary of our amazing trip. Even if he wouldn't have popped the question it would have been one of the best trips ever. We both needed to get away. We had fun focusing on us, relaxing, sight seeing, and officially taking or relationship to the next level. I'm so blessed!!! 

I'll share a few pics I have on my phone, the rest are on the computer. I'm slacking on posting them, but I will soon!!!
