On a Roooollll!

Hello lil' blog of mine!
First off-The holidays were PERFECTLY WONDERFUL!! They never last long enough. I spent quality time with friends and family, ate AND made delicious food, and on top of all that-Santa was good to me!!

However, the holidays did not slow my wedding planning down!!! I've gotten so much done...the to-do list is getting smaller and smaller. Let's recap the last month:
-ordered and received (today) my invitations http://www.123print.com/
-found a wonderful Great-Uncle to do the ceremony ;)
-Jason got his suit...very handsome if I do say so myself
-found a florist! http://www.thegalagal.com/

I told you, look at all that progress. Oh, and I'm still having fun!

Next up is center pieces, dress groomsmen, find a hair stylist....well I won't go on...but as you can see the list is getting shorter BUT it is a long list. :)

Next BIG thing is the Bachlorette Party...all I have to say is watch out Vegas.

and now dessert!

If you know me at all you know I have a major sweet tooth, therefore making dessert my favorite part of any meal. Why all this dessert talk? Our wedding cakes are ordered!
We went to Sweet Stuff in Kyle and there were easy, so sweet, and affordable!
The wedding cake is white, with raspberry filling and butter cream frosting. It will be three layers and simply decorated-white with small details in white and fresh flowers. The groom's cake is a chocolate lover's dream...lets just put it that way. Oh and the design...you'll have to wait and see!

The big day is getting closer and closer and I'm getting more and more excited!!!

Next up is the florist...I'll keep you updated!

Thanks for stopping by!

And dinner is served....

As Jason would say, and many others would agree: the food is VERY important on any special occasion. I would have to second that and when I started planning this shin-dig I said one of the most important things was the menu. There is nothing worse than going to a wedding and eating an average (at best) meal, which you know cost someone a WHOLE lot of money. My decision came easily...I'm a true Texas girl and love me some fajitas and margaritas! Well, where do you go to get the best of these things? One word-PAPPASITOS. One of my all time favorite restaurants will be a part of my special day...perfect. Not to mention, they are obviously awesome at the whole catering thing because they came HIGHLY reccommended from everyone and everywhere...and you can't beat thier prices.

My guests will be enjoying a buffet of:
Chicken and Beef Fajitas
Rice and Charo beans
Fresh chips and salsa
and....all the fixings!

Oh and one last thing, HAPPY BIRTHDAY NINI!! You deserve a shout out for not only being my favorite Aunt but also for being an avid reader! :) Love you!

Good Night!
Amber

Picture Perfect

I can scratch another thing off the list.....the photogragher!
I am lucky enough to have a wonderful wedding photographer right in my very own family....my cousin David's wife...Kim!!
I want to capture every moment of the big day and I know she is just the girl to do it!!
Want to check her out...well here ya go: http://www.kimhayesphotos.com/

This whole planning thing is going right along! I have friends and family helping me and they are all so excited...I'm a lucky, lucky girl.
Oh and since Jason isn't much for blogging I will give you his update...he is looking for a suit. Yep, that's it...men have it so easy.

Next up is the food...think Tex-Mex!

Have a great week!

I Love my Ladies

Hellllllo blog!!

It's been awhile but don't you worry I have not been sitting around doing nothing...I have been getting things done!!


I went home a few weekends ago and had all kinds of wedding planning fun! My wonderful Mom had a brunch, which was fablous as usual, and I had a good 3 hours of wedding talk with my dearest ladies!! Later that day we went to pick out bridesmaid and flower girl dresses. We got right down to business and found the perfect FUCHSIA get-ups!!

COMING TO A MAILBOX NEAR YOU

In approximately a month you luck few :) should receive a lovely magnet from us...to stick on your fridge, where it will stay FOREVER...if you're anything like me and never move anything you put on your fridge.
Yep you got it, a good ol' Save the Date magnet!! I have quickly realized why these nifty things are so popular. A: they are fun to design...or to pick a design already made by someone more creative than yourself and B: because if you don't make your date very well known people will start booking up!!

I had no clue my friends and family had obligations that didn't involve me. :) Well now that the 'only child' has come out in me and will leave you with this....

Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.

Oh, and the guest list development project...as I like to refer to it...wasn't as horrible as I made it out to be. Who doesn't like asking 120 people for their addresses?! :)

Shoes!

From Dorothy using them to get home to Carrie Bradshaw using them to make a fashion statement...shoes are important. As I do understand this I must admit... am not that into shoes...call me crazy. My BFF Natalie, on the other hand, is into shoes. She is a self-proclaimed shoe addict and just the person I needed when carrying out my recently wedding task. I bought the shoes I will be wearing when I become Mrs. Jack! It was easy...one quick stop at DSW and:

MISSON COMPLETE.

Up next....GUEST LIST. Wish me luck!

Untill next time,

Amber
