i've got wedding on the brain, can you tell? it's nice because it keeps my thoughts on something tangible and that has a specific date--- that's almost only 6 months away.

not soon enough.

how fun is this? it's in an old barn. i like the combination of the twinkle lights and the lanterns, oh and the circular tables!



here's a good picture of fabric draping



lanterns just over the dance floor?



i like this because its versatile- if it rains, the tables go inside the tent :)

seven months to go!

with this, i write with the overwhelming/exciting/tubular (is that even a word?) feeling that from this day exactly, in seven short months i will be married. i will have a new last name and my best friend at my side for eternity. i can't wait.

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

it's that time of year ;)
