2011 = The Year of Weddings

So (Oh yeah, I start A LOT of posts this way), I'm getting married in June and my mama is getting married in February. Not only am I planning (well, I have help) my own wedding, but I'm super excited about helping plan my mama's as well!

Because weddings are fun and beautiful and exciting, I thought it would be fun to share details of mine and my mama's weddings throughout the planning process. Now, I'm not going to include every detail here. I do want sooome things to be a surprise. :)

First, let me introduce you to my wedding coordinator, Courtney Tibbets!

As a frequent wedding blog reader, I've known for awhile that I wanted/needed to hire a wedding coordinator. Weddings are A LOT of work and seriously, I don't handle stress well. So I did some research and found Courtney. If responding to my first email in like, 2 hours (or less) wasn't enough to convince me, she was professional, bubbly and seemed like a great fit for us.

Rudy and I have been engaged since January and I wanted to start planning RIGHT AWAY. Courtney has been such a great help already and hasn't once told me that I'm ridiculous for planning so far in advance or asking dumb questions.

The hardest part so far...waiting! I want to order invitations and taste some food and buy centerpieces and shop for bridesmaid dresses. Come on 2011!

Belle Kitty

My poor kitty is just miserable.

The Cerda family got a new kitten about a month ago. Although Belle has adjusted well, which we did NOT expect, she desperately wants a space away from the kitten's constant playing. With a neighborhood that lets little dogs run around unaccompanied by their owners (although don't get me started on that one), I don't want sweet, friendly, trusting Belle to run around outside.

Yesterday it was seriously, a beautiful day, so I put the pups outside for about 4 hours and Belle was happy to come in the room and hang out with me. Although she spent most of her time looking out the window, I'm hoping that time away from the crazy kitten was enough to keep her from going completely insane.



She sure is pretty.

A New Attempt to Blog

Welcome to my second attempt to blog! This will be my place to talk about job hunting, my puppies and kitty (although, I'll try my best to keep that to no more than once a week because I know I'm obsessed), Rudy, our wedding, my mama's wedding and of course photography. :)

I will warn you now...I like using !, :), and ... as a way of expressing myself and because quite frankly, I'm not a very good writer.

Visit. Comment. Enjoy!
