Yayy its anniversary week! In case you didn't know Katie and I are both married. Our wonderful husbands take a lot of our photos now that we are separated by so many miles :( We also happened to get married 3 years apart on the same weekend. That's basically where the similarities stop because we both did our weddings completelydifferent, but in honor of our anniversary week I wanted to share some of my favorite moments from both weddings. Bridesmaids Blunders At my wedding poor Katie forgot the bow that went on her bridesmaid dress. She was so scared to disappoint me (I swear I was not that big of a bridezilla) that her mom offered to buy the bow a ticket on a plane to get to Chicago before the ceremony! (They did not let her, apparently its illegal). Dave ended up finding a bridal store with a sample bow and brought it along with a sewing kit to the church.

Patterns We Love

I can't wait to start sharing my adventures soon! I hope I find a colorful wall in every location we visit. :) … [Read more...]
Backyard Barbecue Love
I have been in Dallas just over a month and am so sad to say I haven't explored very much yet. I went home to Chicago for a week (duh Katie is there and I missed her) and had a whirlwind of a week. We visited as much of the family as possible, had a bachelorette for one of my girls and took Christopher to his first movie. The cutest thing in the world. During a week full of craziness I was ecstatic to be invited to a cook out at my aunts house. One full day of relaxation and Christopher being exhausted by his best friends and cousins. I have to say that it did really make me miss everyone even more when I came back but at least a cute outfit came out of it. I had packed for a week of lounging and a few nice outfits for the bachelorette and freaked out when 3 days before going home I ran out of cute things to wear. Its especially disappointing because I have a great closet full of clothes hanging in Dallas, until I found a gem that has been my go to since college. The American … [Read more...]
