Great Start to Spring!

What a great weekend I had!  The weather was great, the company was even better!

On Friday, my sister came over with my nephew and we took a little trip to the dollar store.  What's not to love about a dollar store?!  I ended up not buying anything, but Tee (that's what I call my sister) got some Easter stuff for Emily's teachers and aids.  David was getting ants in his pants, so we went back to my house.  And since the weather was GORGEOUS, we walked down to the play ground in my condo complex.  I think he had a pretty good time!

Then on Saturday Matt and I took our HIS motorcycle out of hibernation.  We haven't been out since waaaay back last summer.  We took a little ride up to High Point State Park with my parents and brother who also have motorcycles.  If you drive all the way to the top there is a great mountain top view of the county.  It was so pretty.  And of course, since I didn't not bring my camera with me, I missed a great opportunity to snap a photo of a bald eagle.  I could kick myself.

Sunday was a hiking day at "our" park.  I call it that because it's where we always end up on a nice day...we were also engaged there.  :o)  We bumped into good friends that we don't get to see a lot because they moved pretty far away.  They just happened to come up to visit family and we were so lucky to see them!  After catching up for a bit we continued on our way.  A few piles of snow were still fighting the good fight, but it was mostly gone...even if Matt had to eat the rest of it.

And finally in wedding related news, my mother actually found a dress she was happy with...and in the first store!  Hell hath frozen over, pigs are flying, cat's and dog's living together...I can't even believe it.

Wordless Wednesday-Spring Edition!

I took this last April at my old Elementary School.  It was strange to be there as an adult, but it brought back some memories!  

Happy St. Patrick's Day to you all!  My Corned beef is bubbling away in Guinness and the Irish Soda Bread just came out of the oven...mmmm.

I Lost Weight Where?!

I'm not really TRYING to lose weight, but I have been trying to tone up for the big event.  Somehow I managed to lose 5lbs.  So I go to try my dress on with all my accessories so I can see what it all looks like together.  And whuddaya know...I lost all 5 lbs. in the boob area.  Great!  (Well probably not all 5, lol)I am already lacking in that department so this, my friends, is a slap in the face.  Why not in the thighs or butt area?  Did it have to be THERE?!  I was already going to have to stuff my bra to give the appearance of something, but now I'm going to need it taken in before that even works!

I don't want to be overflowing or anything, but I did want to look a little curvier in my strapless gown.  It just stinks because when I bought it, it fit perfectly.  I knew I'd need it hemmed a little bit, but I wasn't expecting to have to do an overhaul.  It could always be worse I guess.

On to other things...SHOES!  All along I had wanted to do a color, but most of the traditionalists that I talked to poo pooed that.  BUT since it's MY wedding, I said to hell with them and bought green shoes anyway, lol.  Thanks to Officially Mrs. @ Thirty Something, I found the perfect pair!

I can not wait to wear these!!  And if anyone else is looking for the perfect shoe, buy Nina Shoes, I have only worn them around the house, but they feel great!

We're Into It!

Head on over to Hope Studios to link up and share what you're "in to" at this moment!

Here I go:

 

New snow boots!  Actually, the first pair I've ever owned!  I used to borrow my grandmother's with a wedge heel when I was a kid...you know the one's, Tina!

Air Plants...for people with a Black Thumb...a little water, no dirt, no joke!  I got mine from here.  I will be going back for more soon!

 

Anything Made by Lindt...we always have them in the house.  It's more of an obsession really.  Couldn't resist the carrots this time!

 

Here's one for my Sweetie Pie...he's totally into ice fishing right now, this is his bucket-o-gear.

 

And finally, we LOVE to hike in the snowy park right now.  I took this a couple of weeks ago, so peaceful :o)

Hope you enjoyed my list!

Music Brain Fart

My sweetie and I have been together for almost 5 years...and we don't have a "song."  Is that bad?  Well it's turning out to be a huge dilemma because we can't decide on our first dance song.  I keep coming up with all of these beautiful melodies and I always get shot down.  He says, "We'll put it on the list."  Arg, that means he doesn't like it.  

We want something a little out of the box.  He LOVES music and has way more songs on his iPod than I will ever have in this lifetime.  But we still can't choose!  It's getting a little frustrating.  Also the fact that we have NEVER danced together.  Again, is that bad? 

Hopefully we'll get it together soon.  In the meantime...any suggestions?!!!
