Honeymoon Excitement
Seriously, we are so close to getting married and going on our honeymoon! I’m soooo excited! We leave our house to start the festivities next Friday! That’s a week from tomorrow! This fact really blows my mind. I feel like I’ve been planning this wedding for years, but in fact, it has been less than one year. Still, I’m ready to say good-bye to planning the wedding and hello to married life which I can’t imagine prior to having kids could be much different than our life right now. But still, I’m ready! And I’m really ready to go on our honeymoon – a road trip to NYC and back to Austin. We have a lot of cool things planned, and thanks to Honeyfund, we’ve been able to create a fantastic and hopefully very memorable honeymoon.
This summer promises to be one of the best yet. First, we are going to Dallas to watch the CrossFit Regionals where many of our friends will be competing. I can’t wait to see everyone kick-ass! Best of all, I get to marry my best friend! And after that, I get to go on what promises to be the most fantastic trip of my life. And it just goes up from there. After spending about a month on our honeymoon, yes a month!, we are driving straight into Dallas because I’m getting certified in Level 1 CrossFit. I can’t tell you how awesome this is and how excited I am to attend this event. I really hope that I can start helping out with classes and maybe even have my own someday. But I really want to coach CrossFit Kids, but that’s a whole other certification. I just purchased tickets to see Christina Aguilera in concert in Dallas in August. She is truly one of my favorite artists – my other favorite is the Goo Goo Dolls. I’ve seen her once before in concert, and it was AMAZING! I’m beyond giddy to go to this concert. Bryan has even agreed to go along! He’s the best! Hopefully, I can end the summer by making it to the Neshoba County Fair, but thanks to all we have and will spend this summer, I’m not sure this will happen. Bryan most likely won’t be able to go because he’s taking so much time off for the wedding/honeymoon. But if there’s anyway humanly possible to be there – I’ll be there! And the cherry on top of the summer is that both Christina Aguilera and the Goo Goo Dolls are releasing new albums. Wow! Heaven!
We have so much to do between now and next Friday to prepare for this trip! Seriously, so much! The whole house needs to be deep cleaned and there’s even some outside chores to finish up. Some things are packed, but we haven’t even scratched the surface of packing and loading down the SUV. I’m still wrapping up decorations for the wedding. I took on a lot of DIY projects to decorate and save money for the wedding. I still have luminaries to make, and I have to finish decorating this cardboard G’s that I purchased. It’s time consuming, but I think that this will all make the wedding look amazing! And the preparations don’t stop once we leave. No, we still have so much to do when we get there. I have to meet with the people catering our reception and finalize all the details. We also have to decorate and set up the ceremony and reception sites.

I created a website to showcase my photography. I’ve been trying to do more of it lately because I have really come to miss having my creative outlets. I’ve also set up a crafting section in our bedroom which has helped with this too. Here is my site:

Check it out, and let me know what you think about it, if you have any favorites or suggestions, or even better, if you’d like to set up a photo session. I come really cheap! I just do it for fun. I don’t have a lot of fancy equipment, but I get by.

I want to share some recent pictures with you because I haven’t been very good about doing that here lately.
A couple of weekends ago, Bryan and I took my little brother from Big Brothers Big Sisters to a renaissance fair. Here are the pictures from that outing:
