Engagement photos!

Yesterday we did our engagement photos... we wanted to wait all this while so we could have the fall colors in the pics. I would have loved to get married during the fall, but we all know I love the Gators too much for that so I settled by taking our engagement pix during this season.

It was a lot of fun, these are the only ones I have seen, he will send me the rest on a disk next week but these are the ones he chose for his blog! I am very excited!

Here is the link or just click on blog above! ENJOY!

We are going today for our taste testing at Ross Bridge to finalize our menu. We are doing the stations, so there will be lots of variety! I am very excited about the food (always am)! I will let you guys know how it goes and what we decide on. I am thinking lots of raw tuna, my mom's favorite, and beef carpaccio. HAHA.

I posted a few more pics, wanted to show off my nephew!

Pics from the Shower in Leesburg:

The only BG bridesmaids that decided to show up... major points

Sandy, Kathy, Me, Ryan, and Robin = the hostesses with the mostess!

Ryan and I, happy couple!

Can't wait till the wedding! Sandy will definitely be on the dance floor with us!

It was a beautiful shower. We enjoyed all of it!

October has been busy! I went to get Dyan hitched on October 3rd. Her wedding was awesome, lots of great ideas, and she was a beautiful bride! oh and she had pretty awesome maids!
The maids in front of the Cavalier

Before the Rehearsal Dinner: Me, Kate, and Dyan
Kate and I at rehearsal dinner
I can only imagine what their honeymoon was like!

The next weekend was my 28th Birthday!

That is me and my nephew! Isn't he so cute in his Gator Gear! Start 'em young! This was the weekend of our last shower in Florida, October 24th. It was a great shower, lots of GREAT stuff. Got some Vietri, some Waterford, some Lenox, etc!

At our shower in leesburg! This is our "milk pitcher" I love how organic the Vietri looks!

Fashion for the Men!

I need a vote: Do you like option 1 for the tuxes or option 2. The lady said that usually the groom does a different style than the groomsmen to stand out. I don't think that I have ever realized this.... Ryan will have a different boutineere than the other guys anyways....Take a vote, let me know! I won't say which one is my favorite or ryan's, but let me know what you guys think. They are the same vest, different tie.

Option 1:

Option 2 far away:
Option 2 Close up:

UPDATE!

I have tons of pics to update on here but it is almost 8 and I should be at work instead of drinking coffee and sitting on the couch.. soooo, this will be a word update and hopefully tonight I will post tons of pics

1. starting with my millry shower. It was a lot of fun. The invites were super cute and got lots of goodies of which I have not had time to write the thank you notes for!

2. Shower this weekend in Leesburg! Couples shower and ryan's family is also coming to leesburg for the first time! Need suggestions on how to entertain in the burg!

3. Invitations are OUT! We are already getting rsvp's! My favorite one so far: "we will be there with bells on"!

4. Birmingham Rojo, Stock the Bar Shower is November 6th. I am excited, hope that everyone can get to know everyone so the wedding can be that much more fun! Then on November 7th is the bachelorette party! Good times with all my maids - minus one.... :(. Heather quit work! haha

5. Ryan got his tuxes! They are black with a taupe vest and tie. I really liked the champagne undertones but he didn't and how could i say "but these will match my dress" without making it obvious! However, I did pick out the taupe ones and they add that organic dimension to match the bridesmaid dresses

6. Got my hair done, made all the appointments for the upcoming hair. I am gladly taking suggestions for my hair, it has to be up.

7. I am going to do a fun flower piece in my hair for the reception. I ordered it off of Etsy, will post pics on that as well!

8. also during my lag time, went to Virginia beach and got dyan hitched! It was a beautiful wedding with lots of good ideas! I will post pics of those too. I loved the dresses because I didn't have to wear a bra! That takes the prize for best dress in my opinion. And, I found these underwear called "hanky panky" and they DO NOT show panty lines. If you need something like this, i highly suggest these. I just can't do spanx!

OK, enough for now

I will be blogging lots more now that it is crunch time and mostly be asking for suggestions so please help out!

Dresses!

First of all, I got the Ring Bearer Pillow... ordered it from Etsy (one of my favorite online places to shop cause it is original).  I guess my nephew has some competition... Tucher really enjoyed this around his neck....

Bridesmaid dresses are IN!  They mailed them out yesterday so look for it in the mail this week.  we will discuss fashion later

I love the color, think that we decided to go w/ bronze shoes?  Was that correct?

 Pictures are so cute.  The dress is super long on me but comfy (By the way, I didn't buy this one for myself... haven't lost my mind yet, it is Anna's)!

Also, the mother of bride and mother of groom dresses have been chosen and are ready to wear.  They are gorgeous!  This is my mom's:

This is ryan's moms

My shoes are in!  They are comfy and cute.  They go well with my dress.  Now I can go and get my dress fitted!

More to come later.  I got my first root canal today so really haven't gotten out of bed so I decided to blog!  miss you all

First shower a success

We survived our first shower!  It took me a week to recover.  The burg girls and their parents did a great job, paid a great deal to detail.  The band did a great job on getting everyone dancing as well as giving me two HUGE blisters on my big toes which are still healing!   I just finished the CAKE BY CARRIE off (had to throw the last few slices away because it was making me fat!)

Anyways, more updates to come, just wanted to put up some pics from the shower.  AND WOW, it was so much fun opening all of the presents... got some really good loot! 

First Shower!

Today I received our first shower invitation for our "BG" or "burg girl" shower in Leesburg!  It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL and definitely my taste: simple, classic, and elegant.  It is so fun to think that a MONTH from today, ryan and i will at our first shower.  This will kick off our wedding festivities!  From "what I hear" there will be lots of "special drinks" and dancing: what could be better?   And, have I mentioned that I love love love the saying???  In case you cannot read it:  Before kelly and ryan walk down the aisle, let's help them celebrate in true southern style.   And how cute is the extra card with the hostesses and registries!  I love my burg girls and their parents and I am already thankful for all that they do!

Bridesmaid dresses

Well, the bridesmaid dresses are ordered!  So exciting.  Cannot wait until they come in and see them on everyone!  

Other than that, we have registered although still having some problems with changing a few things on line that was put in wrong at the store.  It is so annoying to have to change things online!  

I went to try on my dress yesterday!!!!!!  Yes, it came in last week and I went yesterday to try it on.  It was gorgeous!  I love  love love it!  My shoes should be coming in soon, then I can start alterations.  I found a beautiful pair of antique-ish earrings.  They will look great with the dress.  The veil should be in around October.  

Things are really coming together.  Very exciting!

Accomplished

The Save the Dates are ORDERED!  YAY!  I think that I got all the information on them that I wanted like accommodations and the wedding website.  Hopefully they will be here by next week and then I will address them and get them out in the mail!  When you get them, book your hotel rooms at Ross Bridge!  It is going to be so much fun, especially since I know that a lot of you are coming into town a few days early.

Also, I have been working on the wedding website for about 2 hours.  Trying to link places and input the wedding party.  I need to upload pics of all my beautiful bridesmaids and that will be a task finding that "perfect" and "appropriate" picture!  

So, Bachelorette party seems to be picking up pace, thanks to Kate, who is a great planner!  It will be November 6-9 here in Birmingham!  I couldn't decide anywhere else to go and I love it here so why not?  Plus, there will be a couples chill shower on Friday so everyone can meet our Birmingham friends so it will be even that much more fun at the wedding since everyone will know each other!  

Done blogging for now.  Getting back to work on the website and then crashing for yet another hard days work (BOOOOO) 

Possible Bridesmaid Dresses

I found these Bridesmaid Dresses that I like, input please!

It would be in the Spruce Color.  I tried it on here in Birmingham and thought that it was really comfy and would look good on all my maids!  I like the top a lot!

Save the Dates

I do realize that the pic is very small, I never know how to make it bigger, sorry!!!  Anyways, click on the link, I will of course modify it for a Save the Date instead of a wedding invitation.  Here is what i am looking at, ready to order them asap!  Sara picked them out for a shower and I loved them so much I wanted to use them for the Save the dates

Let me know what you think.  I am heading out for a busy Saturday!

Still Splurging

So, a while back when I went to the White Room to try on dresses, they asked me if it was ok if they had a newspaper there to take pics and interview me re: planning a wedding during a bad economy.  Of course I said sure, and they took lots of pics.  Well, the story ran a week or so ago and here is the LINK.  In the actual newspaper, there was a pic of me in one of their wedding dresses, but I find that on line...  Please take note of the "new" title!  Only I would be in the newspaper under "brides still splurging"!  Enjoy and maybe one day you will see the picture!

Quick Update

Well, I have been really bad at blogging lately... sorry about that.

We ended up getting the Rucker House for the Rehearsal Dinner.  It was gorgeous and will accommodate us comfortably.  

The list suddenly jumped to around 500 people... not really sure how this happened, but there is some "trimming" that we must do because 1. this is not in the 'budget', 2. we only have 1/2 the ballroom and there is simply not enough room, 3. even if 50% of those come, there is still not enough room!  anyways, we are going over the list now... it is just so hard!  

After this, the addresses will be added.  Then, the save the dates go out!  I am going to be coming home sometime in May (hopefully) and will work on them with lindsay then!

Ryan's mom and sister came up while my mom was in town and we went to the White Room and they both got dresses.  That place has gorgeous dresses and was happy that everyone found one there.  I also think that I have found some shoes.  Everyone says that no one sees your feet really??? is this true?  I found a pair that has about 2 " heels and are really really comfy!  I think that I am going to go for one of those!  They wouldn't kill my feet by the end of the night- they are made of silk so forming to your feet and just feel like walking on clouds!  The pics are up above and I think that I want closed toed shoes... anyone with any suggestions?  is this stylish??? 

I also am working on a wedding website for the guests.  It is so cute, I am proud of myself.  It is a lot of work, but will definitely be work it!  I don't want to spoil it, so you will all get to see it when it is DONE!  Pretty soon, you all need to get your rooms....   

I am getting my hair stylist to do the hair for the wedding, Bridesmaids: if you want your hair done, please let me know!  Also, kind of what you want done, i.e. up or down... I really want you to do what you want to do, there is no "demand" to get it done in one way or another.  Do what looks good on you!

The bridesmaid dresses are another story.   I thought that I had one picked out, but I am just not in love with it once 3 of the bridesmaids went to try it on.  I feel like my dress is classic and romantic and I feel like the bridesmaid dress is sporty and modern, just not a good mix.  So, the look is back on!  But, thanks Lauren, Annie, and Natalia for trying it on and sending me pics!

OK, other than that, things are going great.  I am getting excited since it keeps getting closer and closer!   I cannot wait for my showers... speaking of which, I know what I want to register but am not sure where I will do it...  Looking into some places...    

Alright, love you all and I promise to blog a bit more

Rehearsal Dinner

Ryan and I are going tomorrow to look at Rucker Place.  It is an old house here in Birmingham and it has great views of the city.  It is a good Birmingham-ish place and very southern... We all know that I wanted a southern plantation wedding, so this will be a good mix-in for our wedding!  Anyways, here is the link .  We will likely know by tomorrow after we look and ask our questions!!!  This would be a great thing to cross off the list!  Will keep you posted

Things to do

Sorry that I haven't been on here in a LONG time.  I have been super busy, yes, kelly worked M,T,W,R,F, AND I am working this weekend.  I honestly feel like ALL I DO is work right now.  

In the back of my mind I have lots of things to do, since I love making lists here it goes:

1.  Save the Date - currently working on the final number for how many to send

2.  Finalize the list and obtain addresses  (UGH)    

3.  Bridesmaid Dresses

4.  Rehearsal Dinner - by far the hardest thing for us right now- COMPLETED!

5.  Order Logo

6.  Register for ALL the stuff that we want!!!!  This will be the best thing, we all know that I am good at finding things that I want!!!

7.  Decide on linens and those Chivari Chairs...   

That is a good list for now...  I am sure that I could add a LOT more to it, but I don't want to get too ambitious since I know that for a few more weeks I will be working lots more... :(

DRESS!!!

OK, after much deliberation and thinking, I have decided on a dress!  I went today and got it.  However, when I got there, they had a new one in... I of course had to try it just to "make sure".  SO, I liked it, but after sitting/walking around in it for 30 minutes and then putting my favorite back on, I KNEW which one I wanted.  I got my favorite one...  I don't want to put pics up on here, so if you want to see it, let me know.  I can send you the REAL style number, yes, I had it wrong.  I knew that the Lian Carlo one online was NOT the dress, but now, I have the right number and you can look it up!  Also, we need a name for it... I hate numbers, so i am going to name it!  Suggestions???  Only after looking at it of course.

Just an update, I am so excited, I absolutely LOVE the dress and cannot wait to wear it.  Of course, they will have to take it in about 10 inches because by then I will be sooo skinny!  haha!  

OH, and I got a job offer while I was there... They want me to model some of their dresses.  I was SHOCKEd....  So, she told me to think about it because obviously I would have to walk in like 5 inch heels for the length to be correct!  I am up for it... Kelly a Model... WOW, never thought I would see that day, although my mom did remind me that I took modeling in 6th grade (I already have a resume!) 

Anyways, just an update!  This is by far the most exciting thing about getting married (Other than the ring and ryan of course)!  

SNOW

WOW, yesterday was a white out!  It was beautiful and so much fun to see a true blizzard (in my opinion, it was the biggest "snow storm" I had been in)!  Welcome to March!  It was cool to go shopping when it was snowing so much outside-never done that before!   

OK, so yesterday I went to look at Melissa Sweet gowns.  Kelly came with me and offered a fresh opinion.  It was great and I added a new one to the list!  It is beautiful, but once again you cannot compare it to the other one because it is soooo different.  Anyways, I am still contemplating all of my options, I never thought that I would like so many!  I remember shopping for prom dresses to the point that I had tried on everyone in orlando and still hated them all!  At least that is not the case now.... 

I think that I will just call and tell them to order one, when it comes in, it will be a good surprise!  I would send out the Lian Carlo dress but honestly, i don't think that the one online is the one in the store...  Or if it is, it just doesn't even look like the same dress.  

Alright, I am off to Pilates, then a massage, then Pilates Symposium, then to pick up Tucher!  Have a great Monday and try not to Freeze!

Oh and PS, HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!

Wedding dress Update

WHEW.  I never knew that this could be soo exhausting yet so much fun.  We went to our three appointments and I have it narrowed down to 10... haha.  Well, I really have 2 that are my favorite and it is hard to choose.  SPOILER ALERT: DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE GOING TO TELL RYAN!!!!

One is a Priscilla of Boston and was always my favorite from the beginning. It is a classic, fun, unique, beautiful gown.  The other is a Lian Carlolace gown with a sweetheart neckline and a sash.  Both are so different that I just can't decide.  I think that i will get both and wear one to the ceremony and the other to the reception!!!  hahahahah

Anyways, So where I am at now is that I am going to go to Atlanta this weekend for Mike and Nikki's wedding and I am going to the Pricscilla of Boston/Melissa Sweet store.  I have an appointment on Sunday at 3.  I looked on the website and there are some more gowns that I have to try on before making my decision.  I just want to be sure.  They have the 5 gowns there that I saw online and really want to try on.  Kelly is going with me, so that will be good to have a new opinion.  Anyways, that is where i stand right now.

Oh, and I found a new bridesmaid dress, but it will have to depend on what dress I get, it will look great with my favorite one!  Sara, who made it????

Also, if you want pics, just email me kmdrawdy@yahoo.com and i will send it, I just don't want to put it on line because some people don't need to see it!!!

Getting Excited

Mom, Mrs. Shami, Sara, and Lily are heading to Birmingham today!  I am so excited to get to try on all the dresses!  I hope that I like a few of them...  I will update all tomorrow.  It is so exciting to have everyone going with me, it means a lot to have mom and best friend along with support (Mrs. Shami) for my mom's side!  haha.  

Anyways, I am getting ready to go meet with Anita right now and will get a lot done I hope.  I am needing a place for the rehearsal dinner, anyone got any ideas????

Lighting and Dress

I sent the deposit in for the lighting.  I am going to have 12 amber colored uplights and spotlights on the cakes, as well as a gobo (will use our monogram).  It should be beautiful and help those tall walls in the reception room!

I am getting soooo excited about wedding dress shopping!  My mom, Mrs. Shami, and Sara plus Lily are coming on Monday and we go to two places on Tuesday and one on Wednesday.  The above picture is just something I found online, it is not what I am looking for, just adding some flair!  If I want to go back and look again, I will go back on Wednesday afternoon.  I am getting so super excited!  Anita is also coming on Tuesday to the White Room, she knows the lady there very well and wants to come by.  I am also meeting with her on Monday for lunch to go over all the things that have been accomplished thus far and then onward.  We will cover linens, rehearsal dinner, and hand all the contracts to her so she can have a copy as well.   Will update on that meeting and of course dress shopping!

There are sooo many styles that I like and I hope that will pay off in the end because I want to love lots of different looks. 

YAY!

Ok, so many of you know that I have been studying for the registered dietitian exam and it has been a very stressful time for me.  Well, as of yesterday morning, I passed the exam!  So, now it is official, I am now a RD- what I have gone to school for for 8 years!  Finally, a light at the end of the tunnel!  Anyways, now that it is out of the way, I can really focus on more wedding stuff and not have the looming in the back of my mind all the time!

Just wanted to share the news!  I am working on a design layout for the reception right now.  I am going to attempt to try and figure out a way to post it and when I do you all can put some input in!  

Does anyone have any ideas when to send out save the dates???  I am just thinking a little bit earlier than normal because 1. most people are traveling out of town and 2. it is the weekend before Christmas.  I think that I have found some cute invitations and as Lindsay pointed out- save the wedding logo for its first appearance in the invitations!  Gotta love her brilliantness!  

Dress!

Dress shopping is so exciting, especially when it is one that you have always wanted to wear, but never had the opportunity!  So, today I booked 3 appointments at some boutiques here in bham!  I am going to ivory and white on Tuesday 24, White Room later that day, and Carriage House on Wednesday 25.  Sara and mom are coming to help me look at all the dresses!  So exciting!  Just click on the links, lots to look up!

Quick check-in

So, not much has been going on, but I don't want ya'll to think that I have given up on blogging!  I have been busy lately and not doing too much wedding planning.  I need to contract out a lighting company-have a few quotes and will try to do that this week.  

I want to go look for dresses the week of February 23rd.  I am going to see who can make it that week... hint hint!

I just want to get that ball rolling.  There are a few really nice places here in Birmingham so I would like to find one here, just to make it easier for fittings, etc.  

Alright, everyone have good weeks and I will keep you posted on anything else that comes up!

Logos

Ok- please choose the ones that you like the most!  I am having troubles with this, there are too many to choose from.  Also, note the one from the previous post that I still love as well!  Let me know what you think please!

CONFIRMATION

Quick Update!  It is official, the contract for Ross Bridge is in and it is ours!  YAY!  It is relaxing (somewhat) to know that the big aspects of the wedding planning are getting checked off the never-ending list...

Also, we sent the contract in for AZZ IZ!  They are also officially ours.  Should be a great reception!  I am coming up with ideas for the BG Dance off!!!  This could get out of hand... 

Other than that, I am thinking of making an appointment for a bridal salon here.  I want to go soon!  I am tearing out tons of pics from the magazines that Annie got for me (It seems like I get a new one everyday-thanks Annie it is great)!  There are a lot that I really like.  We will see how they look on!

I also am finalizing our honeymoon!  YAY!  We are going to Kauai for 6 nights and Hawaii (Big Island) for 7 nights.  Click on the links to see where we are staying.  I met with a travel agent here in Bham and got some good recs- Hawaii is her specialty!  There was no way to fit in Maui because of the time of year (Christmas and New Years).  Every hotel has 6-8 night minimums during that time of year so we chose our favorite islands from what we have heard.  I am thinking that we may go to Maui to drive the Road To Hana one day, apparently we will be "island hoppers"  That sounds like a good retirement job!

Florist Update

The above logo is the one that I am leaning to.... any suggestions!
Ok, so went to Rachel Goudel/Andy Boyles and LOVED them!  So artistic and creative and the house was the coolest place I have ever been to.  I cannot explain it because my vocabulary sucks, but it was amazing and eclectic (that is a good word)!  I will be anticipating a quote and hopefully they will be within reason.  Then, I have it narrowed down to 2 florist/event designers and will have to make a hard choice.

Anyways, that is my update on what I have done so far!

Monograms

This is so much fun, there are so many monograms/wedding logos to choose from!  Anyways, two new websites that I love.  Please give any input that you may have, this is going to be a HARD choice!

True Love Logos  I love CL-12 under classic!

Love Letters

Today I am going to see Rachel Goudel for one last flower consultation and then I should make a decision based on their quote.  I will also be turning in the Ross Bridge and Azz Iz contracts.  Things are getting finalized!  

According to Lauren, I need to start looking for my dress... UGH!!!  I need to lose like 40 pounds before going to do that!  I am going to maybe, tentatively, go in February or early March.  I understand that they take a while to order and get in/do alterations.  Should be exciting! 

Ok, so style me pretty, is my favorite website!  I love these invitations!  I am cornered between something like this or something with a monogram...  Lindsay, I hope that you can recreate these!!!

Planning, planning, planning

I am looking for a monogram to help personalize our wedding, tell me if you like any of these shown above, I love a few of them... 

Just a quick update on what I have been doing for the wedding.  We have the band contract in hand, just have to fill it out and get is confirmed. AZZ IZ should be great!  

The Ross Bridge contract has to be completed by January 28, I am currently working on finishing it to turn it in next week.

I go to Rachel Goudel on Monday to meet for a final flower quote.  I got a quote from Jon Davis with Avid companies and WOW.... It was 6,000 more than the other quote and I feel like it was the same stuff, actually, I know it was since I have "the vision"!  I was very surprised considering that the other one was already high!  Anyways, so needless to say, over 10,000 of flowers will not be at our wedding.  After I go to Rachel on Monday I will be going back to FlowerStems to see what we can work on.  Depending on Rachel's Goudel meeting, I will either go with FlowerStems or her.  Will be finalizing that next week as well as the other mentioned above.  Then.... I get to do the FUN STUFF, like shopping for bridesmaid dresses and of course, MINE!   Once I lose a few more pounds I will try on those dresses, but NOT until then.

Also, I am meeting with a travel agent tomorrow to help planning the honeymoon!  So exciting! 

anxiety

For all you anxious bloggers... I have so much to say but I am soooo exhausted.  Just a quick note to tell everyone that I am still planning the wedding and haven't gone crazy just yet!  I have discovered that I am so super organized (duh) but the problem with that is if there is a space that isn't completed in my list, I feel like I need to put something in there!  haha.  SO, mom and I got a bit done.  We got a wedding coordinator for the day of that we will be using.  It is Anita, and who Kelly used in her wedding.  I have heard good things from her and a quote from my mom "I feel like the world was lifted off my shoulders when we met with her".  It is hard to plan a wedding when you are starting from scratch, in Leesburg I would know everyone and have it done!  However, here I have to do so much background digging that it makes it more stressful.  Anyways, needless to say Anita will be out lifesaver and hopefully keep our sanity especially with the details which I love to overanalyze anyways...

FLOWERS FLOWERS FLOWERS...  I overbooked my appointments therefore have 1-2 that I want to go see before making the decision.  I loved Jon Davis with Avid Companies.  They are more "event" designers rather than just flower makers which I am finding is what the ''in" thing to do is.  Here is the website.  They were amazing, but haven't gotten a quote yet, so we will see about that!  I also really liked Flower Stems by Vince Gray.  They are previously on my website so see that link if you want to check it out.  Very good quote.  As I was told "You may like sticks and stones but you like expensive Sticks and Stones.... Got told more than once that I have remarkable and expensive taste"  And my mom just said, why of course, wouldn't expect less!  

Norton's florist was in simple words, awful.  The quote was comparable but the quality and innovation was poor by the lady.  Just  lacking creativity and wanted it to be like the usual stuff she does.  I just have a thing about someone with a template, I feel like it is not original and just filling in the blanks...  I didn't make it to Rachel Goudel/Andy Boyles who I am sure to love.  I am hoping to get by there this upcoming week.  I have personally seen their work (Kelly's wedding) and it is in line with my type of floral ideas.  Will be contacting them to see when I can stop by since the appointment with Anita ran over!!!  Anyways, so this is the update.  I am so sorry that I haven't kept it up to date, but by the time I would get home, I hit the bed asap!  Oh, and yesterday went to my first knitting class!  It is a good way for me to learn patience and I absolutely love it!  I am working on my scarf and if the weather stays in the teens I will be needing lots of scarves!  Will keep everyone updated and take pics of my new hobby!  muhahaha, love you all!

New Florist

Love lots of pics from this florist one and will be meeting with them this week!  I feel like they can incorporate what I like since a lot is just like their style...  Kelly used them at her wedding and everything was super gorgeous!  Maybe I will find a  pic of what they did at hers and you will see how awesome they are! 

Mom should be here in a couple of hours and I am looking forward to all the frenzy that is going to be coming our way!  Will be posting a lot this week, so be ready with comments please!

Picture ideas

And I love these amaryllis.  I think that they would add a nice touch and guess what, they are a seasonal flower for December!
