Tidbits & A Giveaway

I'm hereeeee. 

I've missed blogging. Truly. Sooooo here I am again.

Not much to say - just adjusting to life in VA Beach, my new job, and wedding planning. Okay so all of that is actually A LOT.

I am loving living here. It's such a fun town. I feel like I need a cruiser before I can officially call myself a Virginia Beach resident. EVERYONE - young, old, tourist, resident - bikes around here. There are sidewalks everywhere so I guess people just assume why not bike? It's pretty crazy. 

Work is going well. I am enjoying the job and catching on quickly. The days go by pretty fast which is always nice! I will be learning more this next month so hopefully I'll continue to catch on and won't break too many things!

Wedding planning is about to make me lose my mind. How do people do this for a living!??! I seriously can't sleep at night sometimes because I have so much I need to be doing. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but it's also a big headache at times. And crafts - oy. Crafts are not my thing and crafts are inevitable for a wedding. That's where I count on my mom, Pam, and Paul's family to do it all help! :)

Sooooo all of that being said - I wanted to share this snazzy giveaway going on over at Stroman Studios. Stefanie is turning 30 on August 21st and like me, she's excited about it!! Props to her for being happy about growing a year older! 

She is giving away 30 items to celebrate turning 30! All the details on her tumblr page found here! You can check out the daily gifts on her instagram page - @stromanstudios.

I've worked with Stefanie before and she's truly a wonderful designer. She designed by best friend's wedding invitations and I also took a calligraphy class from her a few months ago. Remember? 

Go check it out! Or don't... more chances for meeeeee. ;)



PS. 3 days until I'm 30!!!!! 

A Wedding

Saturday night Justin's sister got married! Justin and I have only been to one other wedding since we got married in 2006. We tend to avoid them since we didn't have one - I guess it all just makes me sad and makes me wish I got to wear a beautiful white dress. One day!!

Of course, we wouldn't have missed his sister's wedding though. She looked beautiful!! The wedding was a small, intimate, outdoor wedding with a reception dinner. It was very nice and just perfect for them!

We were seated at a table with Justin's brothers and a few other people. The seating arrangement couldn't have been better. We all had a blast laughing and joking all evening. They had mad libs at every table for us to fill out about the couple. Those were so fun to read!! I don't think I've laughed that hard in months!

Thanks Lindsey, for letting me borrow the dress! 

Love the yellow!!

My nephews (the ushers & ring bearer) looked adorable in their suspenders and chucks!

The married couple! 

This pretty much depicts how we are all the time.

Told ya!

So glad I could be part of their special day! We had a great time!!
