Details Details...

Someday I’ll look back at this wedding planning event and I’ll try to remember those stressful days and little details that kept me up at night. O.k, to be honest, this process hasn’t been stressful and the only reason I’m losing any sleep is because I am so excited about this day! It’s actually been way easier than I ever dreamt. Maybe it’s because we are getting married in the most perfect place ever? Or maybe it’s because Scott helps with the decisions? Or maybe it’s because we’re both so low key there’s just nothing worth getting in a tizzy about?

Days after the engagement, my sweet momma purchased a wedding planner for us. It has defiantly helped keep me on track and provided me with helpful tips and new ideas. With right at 6 months to go, I “think” we have everything pretty much under control. Of course we still have a little bit of a “to-do” list;

1. Table Names-We already know our tables will be named after peaks and canyons in the Tetons. We need to pick our 11 favorite names and create the name display.

2. Cut wine bottles-I don’t want to give away too many details for those guests attending, but our centerpieces are a little do-it-yourself project with wine bottles. If anyone has any advice on cutting glass, please supply it!

3. Practice making bouquets-My bridesmaids were thrilled to hear we would all be making our own bouquets the day of. O.k, maybe “thrilled” is a strong word. After numerous ridiculous quotes on floral arrangements, I decided we would take it upon ourselves and make our own. How hard can it be? (wink wink)

4. Create place cards-How else are our guests going to know which mountain peak they are sitting at if there isn’t a place card to tell them?

5. Create programs-Pretty self explanatory.

6. Work on welcome baskets! I’m pretty excited about this because we have some super cute ideas. Lets just say the gift basket is very location appropriate.

7. Officiate-This is a pretty big deal…but for some reason I am procrastinating. I really don’t like the idea of randomly picking some guy to marry us. Unfortunately I don’t know anyone that is ordained???

8. Hair & make-up-I can’t really have someone practice on my hair until we get out there. So this will remain on our list until “wedding week.”

9. Plan the rehearsal dinner-As of right now, we’ve got our fingers crossed for renting a pretty awesome condo the week of the wedding. If we get this condo, we will be able to throw our rehearsal dinner there, because the place is HUGE and has 2 beautiful decks that overlook the Tetons. (I REALLY want this condo…)

10. Last but certainly not least….the Honeymoon-Scott and I are completely flexible about what to do, we just can’t figure it out. Of course we would love to stay out there and relax in the mountains and enjoy the scenery and atmosphere. At the same time, should we do something completely different because it is our honeymoon? Say…jetting off to an all inclusive resort in the Caribbean? We know whatever we
do will be amazing…

And that’s it! Those are the items on our list that still need to be accomplished. Sure there are some tiny things that aren’t on the list that we need to do (send out invitations…) and I’m positive more things will be added as time goes by. Overall, I say we’re in a good place right now. Did I mention that I love planning our wedding???

All about the Little Boy

Sometimes I forget this tiny boy isn't even 2 years old.  He shows more love and empathy towards people than those 10x his age.  He'll give a smile and wave to anyone who'll make eye contact with him.  He has a tender spot for the elderly and people in wheelchairs.  At the same time, this is the boy that asked to be put in his baby sisters crib, then peed on her sheets.  He's a tiny little pistol, full of mischief and curiosity, and 100% boy. As we near his 2nd birthday, I can't believe he's been around as long as he has.  I still stare at him in amazement and can't believe he is my baby.  Every day he is spouting new words and bringing up something we did days ago.  His memory is sharp as a tack and if he's heard you say something one time, you better believe that word or phrase is now a part of his vocabulary. He has handled moving to the farm like a pro.  He's always liked coming out here and seeing the barn, tractor, and riding the ...

Marry Me Today and Every Day

Music has the amazing ability to stir up an old memory, put goose bumps on your arms, or maybe even bring a tear to your eye. Recently while driving home from work, I had that very thing happen. I had never heard the song before, but it basically summed up the story of a guy and girl that met in a café. Sounds like the story of a guy named Scott and a girl named Kara to me. Here’s the song; Forever can never be long enough for me Feel like I've had long enough with you Forget the world now we won't let them see But there's one thing left to do Now that the weight has lifted Love has surely shifted my way Marry Me Today and every day Marry Me If I ever get the nerve to say Hello in this cafe Say you will Say you will Together can never be close enough for me Feel like I am close enough to you You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love And you're beautiful Now that the wait is over And love and has finally shown her my ...

My Blue Eyed (little/big) Boy

Hello there little guy So there's this 32 lb. boy that wakes me up each morning.  Typically he goes to his daddy's side of the bed, but if he doesn't feel good or he's had an accident, he'll come to my side.  He typically says something like "The sun is up!" or "Is it time to get up?"  He likes everyone to be out of bed and the blinds to be opened.  This happens between 6:30-7 each morning. He appears with groggy blue eyes that despite showing sleepiness still hold a hint of mischievous.  His hair is a disheveled mess of light brown with a sprinkle of golden hairs that look like spun silk.  His dinosaur jammies are getting shorter on his long legs each day, showing just how quickly this little guy is growing. Snuggles This sweet little boy has eyes that are bigger then his stomach.  He likes to fill his bowl with cereal or oatmeal, but has a hard time eating everything he "thinks" he needs.  He has his picky days where no...
