Weekend Recap: One Year

This weekend was full of family, friends, and great times.  This weekend was so special and busy, busy, busy.

Friday was so fun!  I left work and ran around with my mom.  We grabbed dinner and went to Target.  We walked in and I asked if we needed a cart, she responded No.  Now we are making this trip to Target a challenge.  We can only buy what we can hold. (Let me tell you we are pretty good at juggling items, pro level)

We collected some great things, we have too much fun at Target!

We made it to the check out with our hands full.  My favorite part is when the cashier asks, "Did you find everything you where looking for?"  I always think to myself, I wasn't looking for any of this stuff, I just found it.

We had such a great time!

On Saturday my mom, dad, hubs, and I all had lunch together and then the hubs and I met up with some friends at Mustang Alley's.

Mustang Alley's is so much fun, plus I kind of love Bowling.

We went downstairs to Heavy Seas for dinner.

We all enjoyed our dinners.  And then we took the water taxi over to Fed Hill! (I felt like a tourist, but it was fun)

We went to Fed Hill to meet up with friends that just got engaged. So exciting!

Sunday was our day.  Ir was our one year anniversary.  We went to a fantastic lunch together followed by dinner at his parents house.

Then we had our cake!

Our top tier of our cake has been taking up space in our freezer long enough so once we got home we cut it and had a bite!  I can't believe it has been a year!

We had a great weekend, but it makes for a tired Monday. 

Hope you all are hanging in there this Monday.  Can't believe the 4th of July is right around the corner.

How was your weekend?

Wedding Crafting

HOME

This June will be our first anniversary!  June 22nd will be our happy day to have the top layer of cake and think about how much fun we had on that day last year.  The other day I was looking at our cake topper and thought it is too cute to just have sitting around.  So of course I made a craft project out of it.

Our cake was a simple yet elegant white, dot cake.  I LOVED it!  And not only did it look great, but tasted delicious.

  

As you can see, our cake topper was our monogram.  I needed to do something with it, how could I not?

Luckily, the hubs was able to cut off the point for me to do something with it.

I headed over to the craft store and walked around to see if anything caught my eye.  I found some burlap and though that the black monogram would look great.  And I found a great looking frame.

I think it turned out pretty well.  Now just to find a place to put it!

 Have you done a new craft lately?

Have you repurposed something?

Let's Toast to Growing Up

HER

With growing up comes responsibility and other grown up things such as getting married and entering into new chapter of life.  Now this life that we enter into after college is different.  It is hard between graduating college and being a grown up.  I mean what do you do?  Go and party all weekend?  I know I can't keep up anymore.  But with age comes new adventures.  We aren't sure what is to come at this time of our lives because what we always knew was planned out.  Go to preschool and after that just follow until college.  Our next steps were some what planned out for us without even knowing.  After that it was find a job or continue with school.

Now at this age we enter into the world of the unknown.  This world is made up of marriage, work, close friends, buying homes, and more responsibility.  It is the first time we don't know what is to come.  

Yes, I said it marriage.  Now I just recently got married and let me tell you it was perfect.  But now my friend is getting married and I can't believe the wedding time of our lives has started! 

 

 

 

So on that note I have to give a toast or speech at the reception as being the Matron of Honor.  I have never done this before!  What do I say?  Maybe a little couple background.  Some information about how they first met. I have never been a public speaker and I am nervous.  I guess this all comes with growing up.

Do you have any input on what to do or what to say?  I could use some help.   
Thanks!
