Beach Dreaming

I don't want to think about wedding planning today...at all.

I want to sit in this chair with my doggie in my lap, a good book and a cup of tea.

Can someone send me a cute little beach house I can go sit in just for the afternoon?

Adventures in Cake Land

The "Cake Guy" was our first appointment in San Diego. We drove all day so we were pretty wrecked by the time we arrived. Just stepping out of the car in La Jolla made me completely forget the long journey by car and I was instantly transformed into a happy tourist. There were cute boys with surf boards and pretty surfer girls in bikinis...how I miss living in a tourist town.

The Cake Guy (self proclaimed) welcomed us with a pretty white pastry box filled with cakes and pastries from their retail shop. He knew we had come a long way so he wanted to stock our hotel room for us! So cute!

The actual tasting was a blur. Neither my FI or I really are cake lovers so this was the easiest appointment yet! We pretty much decided on what we didn't like first...which was pretty easy. We ended up picking "Bridal Chiffon" which is cake with a layer of lemon cream and a layer of raspberry. So pretty!

Our other two layers we decided on without even tasting them. The Cake Guy told us his wife's fav cake is their fudge filling and fresh bananas...we love both so we went with it.

The cake is three layers and all ivory with white decoration. We didn't pick one of their standard designs. The Cake Guy took a picture I had torn out of a magazine and transformed it into exactly what we wanted! An eclectic ivory and white vintage style cake. The Cake Guy kept my magazine page so I have nothing to share with you lovlies...only two months to go!

Thank you to Flour Power in San Diego for an awesome cake experience! The Cake Guy entertained us for almost an hour with hilarious celeb sightings, wedding stories and all his adventures. It isn't often you meet such amazing and thoughtful people like him.

Back to the Bachelorette...

Garage Sale Weekend

Tomorrow my Mom and I are having a pre-wedding garage sale to raise money for our fabulous (depending on how much we make) beach house in San Diego for the wedding.

My goal is $400. Let's see if we can do it! A recessionista has to do whatever it takes to have a fabulous relaxing wedding week!

A question for you lovlies...

Does anyone RSVP for showers anymore? My Mom only got four so far and one was a no. The shower is in two weeks. I am starting to get sad.
