Beach Bound

Tomorrow night we are going to bed early and then waking up Friday morning and driving to San Diego. The boxes are packed, labeled and ready to go. Next stop...our wedding planner's studio!

Friday afternoon we get to do our cake tasting meeting...can that even really be called a "meeting" with a straight face?! After the cake meeting we are off to pick up my FI's grandfather and take him out to dinner to our rehearsal dinner location...we have never been there so we'll see what happens.



Saturday morning is my hair and makeup trial...I am really excited. After the last one...I am ready to be pampered! Then Saturday evening is our engagement pictures! My FI is concerned about where we are going to change...hilarious...if only my only concern for the whole weekend was where I was going to change from a white shirt and shorts to a black shirt and jeans. I love boys.

Another Reason to Keep the Boy Around

I just started packing up all the boxes that we are bringing down to our wedding planner.

I am pretty sure we are going to need to put one of us on the roof of the car! It is an eight hour drive so that would not be fun.

I can't believe how many things I have been planning, ordering and collecting for our wedding ceremony and reception! Two more days to get organized...these boxes are heavy.

7 Bamboo Lanterns
6 Wrought Iron Mexican Style Lanterns
2 Wrought Iron Candle Holders
144 Plain Clear Glass Votive Holders
72 Hobnail Clear Glass Votive Holders
2 Engagement Picture Dresses
3 Pairs of Shoes
2 Sets of Jewelery
1 Suitcase Full of Clothes For the Trip

This is just my part of the baggage...let's just try to get the FI to pack light!

Fresh Sign In Book Idea

I love our wedding planner...she is pretty much just amazing. Her fun new idea for a sign in book? My fiance calls it the "yearbook style" and I call it totally fun.

The idea is to find a book of photography or a coffee table book that you love and have people pick a page they like and sign on the page in the margin. What I think is so cool about this idea is then we get a sign in book that we love and that will actually be displayed in our house...instead of just getting put in a drawer with our other "keepsakes." I like the idea of having something usable.

We decided we are going to shop for a fun book about San Diego since that is where we are getting married. We are headed down in three weeks so we will shop for a "souvenier" that doubles as our sign in book.

See the books displayed in this chic living room...love the idea that our book will always be out. Thank you to D Magazine for this living room picture. You know I love the milk glass...further proof that all my milk glass can be displayed in a funky cool way.
