Well I officially arrived back to Tarheel State late Tuesday night.

SO disappointed to get out of my car to 45 degrees when I was getting used to 70ish degrees at the coolest.

My Florida Trip was awesome!!! I was there a full three days and spent everyday at the beach and it was heavenly.

Shell Island- Saturday we made a boat drive to this beautiful little Island

The view from my girl friend's grandparents house in Saint Pete- AMAZING!

The girls @ Saint Pete beach on Monday

The trip was wonderful.
Relaxing.
Good times with Friends.
Beautiful Beaches.
Warm Weather.

I am happy to be back though...I got to spend some good time with Mr. H last night.
We finally Registered at Bed Bath & Beyond. YAY!

My plans for the rest of my Spring Break:
-Birthday Dinner for my future father-in-law tonight
-Lunch with Mr. H at his school and spending time with his 3rd graders tomorrow
-Working on the house Friday evening and all day Saturday (pictures to follow!!)

'09 SPRING BREAK---> 3 days!

XOXO,

Welcome Warm Weekend!

ALMOST 70 degrees here in the mountains of NC!

This week has been so productive!
Mr. H and I officially have our wedding photographer, Florist, Wedding Cake Bakery and DJ for the reception!

I am stoked to announce that Smitten Photography will be capturing my special day

The Enchanted Florist out of Asheville, NC has me hooked and convinced that they can make my wedding day one to remember...and they are more than willing to work with my tight budget!

The Bake Shoppe out of Weaverville, NC is a tiny little bakery with a huge creative abilities!

One of my good friends from college has been DJ-ing on the side for quite sometime and I asked her to do my reception. Besides the fact that she can keep a crowd dancing, she knows ME and knows my style....so it will be a great match!

YAY for getting things done! I feel so much better!


Tomorrow I am headed towards Raleigh to attend one of my best friends Lingere shower.
Along with some unmentionables (hehe) I bought her some cute panties that have things written on the tooshie:
I am so excited to give her my gifts and to see her blush a little bit :)
I love showers that celebrate Marriage!


Have a Wonderful Warm Weekend bloggies!

XOXO,
