Things I'm Fallin' For...

These are just a few of the things I'd like to incorporate into my Fall wardrobe

How cute is this purse handmade by Jeanne??!?!

And this cute plaid shirt from AE

I love the look of the boyfriend jean... so comfy

Everyone needs a great dress, a stylish pair of riding boots, and classic pair of ruffled knee socks

These are a little of out of my price range but they may go on sale...
here's to wishful thinking :)

Wedding flowers

I'm loving these vintage ball jars....

And peonies....

just picked up 3 dozen jars to use as center pieces...

I'm thinking we will be using burlap tableclothes or runners...

Any other ideas on table decorations?

Luce...

Luce, traveled across the country, nearly 2400 miles in 3 days, and arrived on my doorstep Saturday afternoon. It was so good to see her! One of the sweetest girls I know, Tara , sent her to me as an engagement gift. She couldn't have arrived at a better time, as she was used in a photo shoot my brother did for Mr. R and myself that evening.

.

Here She is at her old home

And with us...

Thank you so much Tara, She will be loved! ;)

My lil' Nater

Today my very talented and adventurous little brother left for college.

He's a runner, avid fly fisherman, aspiring writer, and talented photographer.

I couldn't be more proud to be his Big Sis

And although my parents will miss having him around the house

He'll be in his element at school

near plenty of trout streams, close to numerous state parks and mountain bike trails, and running for a great coach.

Congrats My lil' Nater and best of luck!

love you,

sister

All in the details....

Now that I've finished all my homework to complete my masters I can concentrate on planning the wedding. We are hoping to set the date soon and would like to have it in seaside, Fl.
Girls... there are soooo many inspiring wedding blogs out there and an abundance of great ideas....
I feel overwhelmed already... gesh....
So tell me, what was it about your big day that made it so special?

M.I.A

Well girls I'm back after a long hiatus...
It seems life got in the way of my blogging, mostly trying to finish my masters...
I'll be all done on Thursday.
You have no idea how good it feels.
If I ever mention going back to school again... tell me NO!!!!
(with lots of exclamation points)
OK I guess it wasn't that bad, but still...
In the mean time...
I've got big news to share.....
I'M GRADUATING!!!!

OK... that wasn't the big news.......












I'm ENGAGED!!!
