Hello there! Bob and I met with a DJ tonight. It was our first time meeting with one. I really liked him, he was super nice and personable. And not at all in a fake, corny way, which I'm sure some DJ's are haha. He was really down to earth. He gave me a good feeling. He's also 5 mins away from our apartment, which is awesome! And his prices are good.
We put down the deposit on our reception venue last night. That felt REALLY good! Everyone who has been there before, tells us how great it is, including the DJ we met with tonight. We keep hearing that the food is great, too.
I'm looking forward to meeting with a photographer on Thursday night. I have a good feeling about him, too. I've talked to a couple people who work in his office, and they were both really nice and helpful. He also has reasonable prices.
It would be awesome if we ended up booking the DJ we met with tonight, and the photographer we're meeting with on Thursday! It would save us time from going on more appointments.
I have the dress I'm wearing in the below pictures in two other colours. I really love these dresses. They are a simple style, but flattering. They're also quite comfy. I do love cute patterns on dresses, but it's also nice to have some basic dresses like these.

Hello there! We had a great time at Bob's cousin's housewarming party yesterday. We played a couple of games of cornhole. It's a fun game, but I wasn't doing very well! I usually do alright, but I was definetly off yesterday. I did get some cornholes though. (That's the highest amount of points you can get on a throw.) Of course there was a lot of great food, too! I stuffed myself.
I straightened my hair yesterday for the first time in a long time. It started out alright, since there wasn't much humidity. But, after playing cornhole, and sweating from playing in the sun, it didnt stay so nice anymore. I don't want fall to come, but, the only great thing about it is that my hair will stay straight, once I straighten it!
Yesterday I asked my aunt to do a reading at the wedding, and asked if her daughter would be a flower girl. My aunt is excited for both! I'm really glad. I don't get to see her much, since she lives in Texas with my uncle and her daughter.
Today's mostly going to be relaxing. I worked out, and we're going to Bob's parent's later on. Bob's going to make us quesidillas! I can't wait, ha. He's such a great cook! I hardly ever have quesidillas, but they are one of my favourite foods.
Today Bob and I are also working on our guest list for the wedding. We are dropping off a deposit for the reception tomorrow night. When we do that, we're going to ask if we can pay for 90 people, instead of the usual minimum of 100 that they have. We'll see what he says! If we do have to have 100, that's fine, too. We have enough people we can invite.

Hello there! Happy weeked, everyone. I'm going to clean the apartment, do laundry, work out, and then go to Bob's cousin's housewarming party. I was planning on going to a local bakery to talk to them about my cake, but, since I have other things to do before we leave to go to his cousin's, I may wait to go the bakery.
I have been trying to set up lots of appointments now, so that I'm not really stressed later, and also to ensure that the places with good prices are not booked!
On Tuesday, we're meeting with a DJ in town, on Thursday, we're meeting with a photographer about half an hour away, and on Saturday, I'm meeting with a florist about forty mins away. I know the prices are reasonable for the DJ and photographer, they had sent me info on their pricing. So, I hope I like both of them, and we can just pick them & not go on more appointments!
I got my ring back last night, it had been re-sized to a size smaller. It perfectly now!! I'm so glad. It was strange to not be wearing it, ha.
In the pictures below, I'm wearing one of my favourite skirts. I got it in June, in Connecticut, at a J Crew outlet store. I never go in J Crew, ever. But, I'm glad my sister wanted to go in there! This skirt is perfection. It fits me well, and is such a nice, bright shade of yellow. It's not that easy to find items in bright yellow!
I LOVE wearing red lipgloss/lipstick. I'm wearing lipgloss in the pictures, and I love the shade of red. But, I hate how it doesn't stay on my lips very long!
I adore the clutch that's shown in these pics. I've had it about three years, and I'm so glad I found it. I get lots of compliments on it.

Hello there! These pictures were taken last Sunday. We looked at a possible reception site that day, and then later on we went over my parent's to celebrate my grandmother's birthday. The reception site was beautiful. I had been there before for two other weddings. It's also two mintues away from where we live!
It's a very old inn, built in the 1800s. The woman who showed us the place was really nice. I wasn't sure how it would be when we looked at reception sites; I didn't know if the people would be intimidating at all, or pushy. I'm glad that they haven't been either, at all!
The last few pictures were taken at Jenny Jump. Jenny Jump is a state forest, but this spot specifically is on the side of a road. There's a big, wide place to pull over and look at the view. People are often pulled over there. That night when we were driving up that road, I saw how red and huge the sun looked. I told Bob we have to pull over and get pictures! It was so beautiful to see. The sky was red as well. There's not many things better than a gorgeous sunset.
I have posted blogs before featuring this ice cream print dress, including a recent post. But, I do wear it a lot, and this is the first time I'd worn it paired with the sprinkles sneakers!

Hello there! So glad it's Thursday, and we are inching closer to the weekend! On Saturday, Bob and I are heading to his cousin's house for a housewarming party for them. Hope it'll be nice out, so we can hang out outside! It really has cooled down here the past few days. It's nice to have no humidity again!
I'm planning on checking out a bakery in my town on Saturday morning. I know they make wedding cakes. So, hopefully they have good prices, and can make what I have in mind! (Hint: LOTS of colour!)
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my favourite dresses. I love how pink, orange, yellow, and lime look together! Which is why I also love the necklace I'm wearing in the pics. I think it's such a nice combo. I also have this dress in purple, blue, and lime combo. This one is definetly my fav of the two though!

Hello there! So glad that Monday is over with. Ugh, Mondays just are so depressing.
We did look at another reception venue last night. I think we may chose that one. We have more appointments lined up this week. But, we need to give a lot of thought to the venue we saw last night, and we may end up calling them very soon, and not bothering with at least some of our upcoming appointments.
Breaking Bad Season 6 premiered Sunday night, but we couldn't watch it since we just started Season 4 last night! I've been getting the seasons out of the library, which is so nice to not have to pay to watch them. Although I really wish I had been watching the earlier seasons when they were on TV.
My mom made the dress in the below pictures. I really LOVE it! She did such a great job, as usual. She's very talented. I love the shape of it, and the print. So colorful.
Tonight I'll be going to Panera with one of my friends. I haven't seen her since April; she's usually quite busy. So, it'll be great to catch up in person. I did call her and let her know about our engagement though! :)
Dress: Handmade by my mom!
