We are Moving!

Unfortunately, this past holiday weekend was not spent with family & friends enjoying picnics. Instead, it was filled with cleaning, packing and moving! We were definitely bummed that we were not on the beach with our friends drinking some beer and soaking up the rays. But in the end...our new place is much nicer and bigger! I can't wait to have it all unpacked! I was wishing I was Elizabeth Montgomery from Bewitched and magically place everything away!

Since I am such a big snail mail person...I'm trying to find the perfect moving announcements. I have come across a couple adorable announcements but some of the prices are a little too much for me. Since we live in Los Angeles, I am totally in love with these! You can find these at Paper Style right here!

These little moving trucks...simply adorable! Wouldn't you love to receive one of these cuties in the mail? You can find them Here from FPO.

I am a sucker for birds! You can find these love birds Here from Moving Announcement Store.

Has anyone moved lately? I was so excited to find my toothbrush this morning!! We had no idea we owned so much stuff!!
I hope you all had a wonderful 4th of July!!

Our Wedding: Penn State!

My Husband and I met at Penn State University back in the fall of 2002! Wow, that was almost 7 years ago! So, it was only natural for some of our details to include our beloved Ala Mater.

We purchased 2 glasses for our toast! They were perfect and simple! Everyone loved these...our guests kept coming up to our table and taking pictures of us holding them in the air!

We purchased PSU hats for the Groomsmen! Took a couple shots...Doesn't my Husband look handsome in that suit and white hat!? The hats were another gift to our GMs!

Our Wedding: The Bride Getting Pretty

I was very calm the morning of our wedding. Everyone came together in my parents room for hair and makeup! My two favorite stylists were there to make everyone gorgeous for the big day! I must say...that morning went super fast and when scheduling your ladies appointments please add extra time! It will go faster than you think!

I was on my blackberry all morning! I was getting so many messages!!

Here is a cute shot of my bridesmaid! Who knows what we were chatting about! Oh, I miss her! I wish I could simply beam myself back to that moment!

I totally recommend hiring someone to do your makeup!

Love this creative shot!

Gotta love that Sexy Little Bride jacket! I also got an amazing delivery of balloons and flowers! I told you I loved balloons!!

I really enjoyed spending that time with my friends and family. Living across the country and away from everyone...really makes you appreciate those special times! Unfortunately, I didn't get a group shot of us ladies all done up prior to getting dressed! I'm telling you...the morning will fly by!!!!! So, maybe make a specific list...and give it to a bridesmaid to make sure you get your shots!

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND MY FRIENDS!

Our Wedding: Rehearsal

On May 29th there were several storms passing through town and by the time our rehearsal began all the rain had vanished! We were able to complete an outside run through of the ceremony!

Below, is where our ceremony took place.

This is a picture of the venue, Boulder Ridge. Our guests simply strolled over to the building for cocktails and appetizers.



Here is a picture of us all lined up and going thru the ceremony. I loved the white chairs!




My brother practicing his reading. I was so proud of him..he did an amazing job! Even during the rehearsal I soaked up every minute!




I LOVE this picture below...me holding onto to my soon to be Husband!

Our rehearsal ended up being so much fun! It was the first time I saw many of the bridal party and family since our bridal shower in March. I am also so happy we were able to capture some shots of rehearsal day!
