I'm getting married in 8 months....yikes



I'm getting married in June. We don't have an exact day yet. We are getting married in my parent's back yard. So the only thing we have set up is the caterer. I'm doing as much as I can myself...


1.) Centerpieces: I bought mason jars at acmoore for $0.99. I then bought some preppy ribbon to tie around. In the mason jars I am cutting a half a lemon on the bottom with a single hydrangea in it. I am buying the hydrangeas wholesale online @ http://www.shop.weddinghydrangea.com/. *Shopping tip: acmoore and joanne fabrics have coupons for 40% off. You can get them in the Sunday paper or print them out online.



2.) Bouquets & Boutonnieres: Like I said before I am buying the hydrangeas at wholesale. I then bought simple supplies at acmoore such as wire and floral tape. I then bought some yellow polka dot ribbon to tie then up.


3.) Invitations: bought 100 @ joann fabrics. They are white with a pearl border. I added a sheer navy ribbon and a yellow pearl as accents. I'm printing them myself. Total cost: $100 for 100 invites.

The night life


I work in a hospital as a RN. I work the beloved night shift 7pm to 7am. I really don't mind it-it does have it's perks. For one I only have to work three days a week. I get paid a good percentage more. The downfalls are at night we get a lot more patients. Instead of 4-6 we get 6-10. I mean imagine caring for 10 sick people and there is only one of you. There is a lot of running around like crazy making sure everyone is okay and safe. Another downfall is adjusting to your day offs....it is now 2am and I am wide awake...my schedule is sooo messed up. I do love my job and not many people can say that so I guess I should count my blessings.

I decided to start blogging..again

So I created my blogger account about a year ago. I had full intentions to become a full blown blogger. I mean I have read blogs for years and years and love them. So it only felt right to start my own. My blogging at the beginning of last year was short lived. I stopped for many reasons...not enough time is definately #1. I am feeling the need to start blogging...I hope it doesn't just last a month. I mean I think the stuf I will talk about will hopefully be interesting to someone else except myself. Enjoy.
