As promised, here are a few of my favorite shots from our wedding.  There's no way I could even come close to describing how perfect our wedding day was, so I am just going to let the pictures tell the story.  Getting ready:

Long time no post! Life has been busy, to say the least.  Since my last post, my dad was diagnosed with a brain tumor, I got married, I moved across the country, I started a new job, Ben started a new job, we moved into a new apartment, and most recently we bought a house. Wow. 2014 has been a real doozy and we've still got three months left.  As we settle into our new house I want

That picking out a wedding dress would be the easiest choice ever, while picking out bridesmaid dresses would be a nightmare.  I found my dress on etsy and fell in love in a second.  I ordered it the next day and when it came it fit like a dream, nothing needed to be done at all! Bridesmaid dresses have been a whole other story.  I want to make sure my bridesmaids will wear the

So as you know about 7 months ago I moved to wild wild west.  Well, Ben followed me and we love our new life here in Arizona.   So when we got engaged, one of our biggest questions was do we have the wedding in our new home, or back in Georgia. We ultimately decided it was more cost effective to have the wedding in Georgia, since that way we would most likely be the only ones flying

So, I can't lie, Ben and I had been talking about getting married for a while.  So much so, that he had basically said by the end of next year, 2014, I'd be wifed up.  So of course, thanks to Pinterest, I had been browsing some different save the date ideas and thinking about taking awesome engagement photos when the day came. Well the day came, and I realized we're not broke, but we

So obviously, I had to jump back on the bloggin train to document every part of my super DIY and budget friendly wedding! We got engaged about 2 weeks ago and we've spent a lot of time deciding what we want for our wedding, and I cannot wait for it to actually be here.  I've already completed a few projects that I will have to post in the near future. But for now, I'm headed to go do some

So I haven't posted in a while, and well it's because I've been living.  I've been planning for next school year, taking field trips to the Phoenix Zoo, murdering ants day and night, and preparing for Ben's arrival (in less than a week)! I think I'm going to let this blog rest for a while.  I know my life is only going to get busier in the weeks and months to come. Thanks to my whole

Sunsets like this.  Oh it was also 100 degrees when I took this... ridiculous! I love it! I can't wait for all my visitors in the near future and especially my permanent visitor!

I am incredibly excited about life right now.  Here are my reasons why: 1. Ben will be an Arizona resident in approximately 23 days. 2. It hasn't rained in forever and well in the 'boro it constantly rained.  I love the weather... so far. 3. It's really easy to get tan here. 4. I had roast beef for dinner, and I'm pretty sure it's the meat of the gods. 5. It's almost the weekend. (Is

Is such a mess of different things.  If I'm not planning for school, I'm at a soccer game.  If I'm not at a soccer game I'm at volleyball.  If I'm not at volleyball I'm at soccer practice. This is the way life should be. So filled with tons of different things, that you don't have time to even document it, no matter how badly you want to.  This weekend is already shaping up

Has been so busy, I haven't even been able to take any really super artistic shots with my iPhone.  It's sad, because obviously I'm no good at documenting my life, but it's also kind of exciting because I have a life to document! My weekend thus far has consisted of: Leaky water heater, which led to brand new water heater and a huge fan in my room all day.  Oh and half of my closet

Life lately basically consists of two things: hiking and my kitties. I've spent my whole weekend adventuring with friends and then napping with my tiny feline friends.    We had a run in with some catnip today...

As it is apparently National Sibling Day, this is the only appropriate post possible.   Nina arrived to Bullhead City on Saturday and has been adventuring everyday since then.  Sunday we went to explore the Hoover Dam On Monday we made donuts Yesterday we went hiking in Kingman Today she went all the way to the Grand Canyon!!!

So yesterday I played two volleyball games back to back. Today I played some ultimate frisbee and then played soccer. Tomorrow we have volleyball practice. I am so worn out already.  But I absolutely loved it.  You can check back in with me tomorrow night to see how I feel after day three but I'm pretty sure it will still be a positive review.

Back in the 'boro, Ben and I were aspiring gardeners.  As in we had a few plants and basically killed them every time.  We had a few successes, I got to eat some strawberries from our tiny garden and I really thought the Brussels sprouts were going to make it.  Now that I live in a place where it basically doesn't rain, I am feeling incredibly envious of those of you in

Turner Field. Today is a day that I really wish I was back home.  It's opening day today in Braves Country and I hate that I couldn't even watch the game to cheer them on.  I was the 10 year old girl with the battery powered radio that sat out in the front yard listening to every Braves game possible during the season. I can still remember all the way back to 1995 when they

Delicious, seasoned, dried up meat. This looks pretty gross, but it smells delicious. This is basically my Friday night.  Plus some Netflix watching. I highly recommend "Safety Not Guaranteed".  Not even close to what I expected, but pretty cool.  I'm so glad the weekend is here.  I have been dead tired all week, still not sure why.  I'm hoping I can catch up on

So I am awful at mailing things.  AWFUL. One weekend I wrote my family all letters, it took me three weeks to send them.  I have been telling Ben that he had an Easter basket in the mail for a while now, so he should be on the look out.  I went and bought the stuff today... oops.  Some might say I'm a bit crazy, but one of my favorite parts of my new home is that it has a

So as I've begun to really make myself at home in my classroom I've found a few things that I could really use everyday in my classroom.  I would bet money they aren't things all teachers need, but they're the silly things that I wish I had. Highly doubt this is on every teacher's wishlist, but for a girl with two tattoos, it is at the top! This tattoo concealer would be rather useful on

So it's my birthday! It was basically like a normal day except my phone kept buzzing thanks to all of the facebook love I received.  I was able to capture a pretty somewhat sunset on my way home tonight... after a volleyball game (more on that later). I may miss home every now and then, but I sure love my new home. There's so much exploring to do it's ridiculous! I can't wait for longer

A dehydrator came in the mail! It's my birthday present from my mom.  I am so excited.  I cannot wait to make jerky (and maybe some healthier stuff like apple and banana chips, but mostly jerky!) I've been wanting one for a while, I can remember growing up and dad always making deer jerky and it being delicious.  I'm sure he made other things in it, but this was probably

So as most of you know, Ben was here last week.  It was amazing, and went by waaaaaay too quickly.  We spent the week cooking, hiking, and just being together.  It was so strange seeing him here, in my apartment, but so normal too.  It felt like we were just back in Statesboro and no time had passed at all.  I am so looking forward to May when he will be here permanently

This guy is my best friend.  Want to know the best thing? He's here in my apartment! He chose to spend roughly $500 to spend his spring break with me.  He's amazing and I really don't want this week to end, but I do because that just means it's closer to when he's here full time. I can't wait.  Did I mention that he's just really great and perfect and I'm definitely not good
