Mmmm...

Last night I attended my first Tastefully Simple party at my cousin's wife's house and all I can say is YUMMY!! I can't wait to receive my Bacon Bacon dip, and my chocolate covered cheese ball mix (not that those are the only two things I ordered)! It was very nice to be able to have a girly get together, get out of the house, and gossip with other moms. Thank goodness I need to stay tiny in order to fit in my wedding gown, otherwise I would have ordered everything we tasted at the party! There was so much food to sample that I don't think anyone left the party hungry! I had such a good time that I'm actually thinking of hosting my own party =) Thanks Heather!

Rings!

Since my camera is cooperating with me today and I've been meaning to post pictures of our wedding bands. . .here they are!

Head piece!

Yesterday one of my MOH's and I ventured to a local bridal boutique in search of some things for the wedding. I have to say I have always been skeptical of small boutiques because from the outside they look very shaggy, out dated, and are most of the time over priced. Well, this boutique was anything but! The owner, Tesi, was so helpful and so was her staff. I was able to find my head band/ tiara for my wedding up do and will definetly be going back for a lot more stuff! I finally got my camera working so here are some pics of it!

4 months!

As of Tuesday we are within 4 months of our wedding!!! That's only 16 weeks! I am so excited! There are so many things I am looking forward to like my bachelorette party, my bridal shower, our rehearsal dinner, and most of all the BIG day!!! Did I mention I was excited, lol!! Soon we'll be putting together our wedding invitations that we bought and I'm hoping to make it into a girls night with most of my bridesmaids! Wedding invitations, a bottle of vino, and hopefully this is how it all turns out!

Diet, Diet, Diet!

I just can't do it! For the life of me I cannot make myself diet. I'm tempted by everything bad for me, and the idea of the gym has gone right out the window. I need to get back on track ASAP. What is the trick- someone please let me know. I need to fit into my wedding gown in almost 4 months!!!!!

I wasn't kidding

I wasn't kidding when I said I was going to be living at my job for the next 2 weeks. Last week I logged 56 hours! Onto better news though we're officially one step closer to summer since I have had my first taste of Johnson's popcorn on the OC boardwalk =) There is just no comparison to Johnson's- I think I could eat an entire bucket by myself, don't worry though I know I have to fit into my bridal gown lol. Our ring bearer pillow did arrive this week, from this etsy shop. I'll post pictures later but needless to say its gorgeous! I'll end this post with the news that Ayden has begun crawling, so now he is a mobile machine making his way all over the house and anywhere he can! Now I have two children to chase after!

My job owns me...

I feel like I have a closer relationship with my managers than with my own family at this point. It was sad when I realized that I've worked 22 hours in the past 2 days at my job. Oh, and I'll be going back there tonight at 5 =( At this point in my life everything is for the wedding and my kids, so here's to both of them!


P.S. Everyone have a Happy Easter and remember why we celebrate this holiday!
Matthew 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

Promotion!

My boss sat me down today and told me that after waiting 4 months to be a bartender at my work, it's finally going to happen. And with the wedding bills that are piling in this could not have come at a better time =) I'm sooooooo happy!

I can't wait . . .

for THIS moment!!

Letterpop!

So I have just discovered the best site for sending pretty emails! Many thanks to fellow blogger Jessica. I've decided to use it to send emails to my bridesmaids to keep them updated on wedding news since we are scattered all throughout south and central jersey! Letterpop is like this amazing service where you can write an email and then give it a makeover and face lift with girly colors, fonts, templates and did I mention you can even add your own photos to it as well? You have to check it out and let me know what you think =)

So my latest task to accomplish for the wedding is to come up with a hairstyle for me for the big day. Trust me, this one is easier said than done. I'm such an indecisive person, so of course I change my mind almost every day. So far this is what I have come up with. I think it will look even more polished and perfect with a headband to match! I'm also still in the process of finding a hairstylist and makeup artist to come on location the day of the wedding who aren't charging me and arm and a leg in travel fees. Stupid South Jersey!

I'm a mix between Jill and LuAnne

Real Housewives of NYC is by far my favorite show on t.v. at the moment. These ladies crack me up. All they do is shop, eat out in fancy restaurants, gossip (sometimes about one another), and vaca in the Hamptons. That sounds like the perfect life to me! I like to consider myself a mix between Jill and LuAnne. Jill is the one who constantly has to know everything that is going with everyone and the latest dish and also tells you how it is straight up with no bull, while LuAnne is a Countess who contantly maintains her composure in even the most awkward of situations. Catch it Tuesday nights @ 10p.m!!

Hair Accessories

Hair accessories for the wedding have become my newest obsession. I fell in love with this hair pin, which can be found here. This is the webstore of the makeup artist I also fell in love with, but she turned out to be wayyy out of budget! Other than that I do love this hair pin, I just think it's too small to make a statement in my hair on the day of my wedding. I wish I was one of those brides that could pull off a big white flower in my hair. A bright white flower to match my dress, even something a little retro is what I have in mind. Something classy, simple, and elegant. I have not come across that perfect hair piece that I am willing to try in my hair so until I do the search continues. . .

Movies

Since we have only had our infant with us this week we have been able to catch up on movies that have been released recently. The first movie we watched was Twilight. I could not understand what all the hype was surrounding this book/movie. When my FSIL came to our house this weekend with the Twilight book in towe I decided I had had enough and that Angel and I must watch the movie. OMG! As soon as we started watching the movie I completely understood. I am officially on the Twilight bandwagon and am looking forward to the release of the movies that follow in the 4 story series. Next on our list was Nick and Nora's Infinite Play List. Now when Angel rented this I had absolutely no recollection of seeing preview's for this movie or it even being in the theatre. Anyway we watched it and it turned out to be realllllly cute! I absolutely hate city life or the thought of even living in a place like NYC and it made me really want to live there. Last night we watched Marley and Me, which again is based on a book which I will also be traveling to Border's to buy shortly. This was a really cute family movie, with a very sudden, heartbreaking, sad sad ending =( Tonight on our list is Role Models. Stay tuned to see what I think of that one!

P.s. I also bought my own copy of Sex and The City (finally!!) and can stop holding my MOH's hostage =)

There's a trampoline in my livingroom!

I've been M.I.A. for a few days, but with good reason. Our 2 year old has been at Abuela's house since Sunday night and I have been spending some much needed quality time with big Angel. Even though we still have Ayden with us, it has still been a relaxing week for the two of us. In fact we forgot how easy it is to just have one child haha! Moving right along I've got a lot on my "To-Do list" this week while my 2 year old is gone. I want to shampoo the rugs, go through all of baby Angel's toys and toss the majority of them to get ready for his birthday next month, and I want to try to get my house as organized and clean as possible. Which I don't know how easy that is going to be considering us and our children are slowly outgrowing this townhouse of ours. I literally have a 5ft trampoline in my livingroom from Angel's Tio from Xmas. I've got a big uphill climb ahead of me, wish me luck!
