decoration ideas

here's some cool ideas i've been thinking and looking at for the wedding... it is nearly 7 months away!



-this is a cool inspiration for the vibe of the event. yay 40's carnival feel!




-the layout of these chairs is so cool. its a great way to create and different atmosphere for the ceremony




i like the lanterns here and the cool colors they give off



-mason jars filled with tea candles. fun atmosphere creator, soy candles would be best




-A lounge area would be a cool place to relax outside of dancing. blankets, pillows and comfy seating

yes we can.


thank goodness this election is over. and while the outcome is amazing, returning to daily life without the overarching of politics into normal conversations is something i'm most excited about.

voting for the first time for this amazing man is something i will be proud about for the rest of my lifetime. i will tell my kids that i voted for a great man who changed the country for the better, regardless of what the next four years hold. i will not need to say, i voted for a black man, because the color of his skin won't be relevant. he is an amazing candidate and i feel so proud to be an american, for literally the first time in my life. I am an American, and I have a voice.

happy november

in an attempt...

... to keep my stress level down, i revamped this and am trying to update as frequently as i can remember to. maybe some wedding ideas will be thrown around, maybe some business ideas will be thrown around too, but like i usually do, random thoughts will be what this is mostly about.

today- today is all about getting ready for this coming weekend trip home! to kansas! the boy and i are pumped because our future will pretty much be decided this weekend which is exciting! we have a business meeting on friday, dinner with my future in laws that evening, saturday we're going to check out the wedding site and then celebrate with all our friends that evening at an informal engagement party! yay! sunday night is when we leave so hopefully we can have a few more fun things completed before then.

but before that happens i need to: go to the store, do four loads/$12 worth of laundry, clean roux, clean oaduss' cage, do some yoga, finish some save the date cards, get my planning book together, stay sane, clean house, go to school, finish homework, much more i'm sure.

picture for your thoughts:
