proud USMC sister.

it's official-- he is HOME!! after 13 long and grueling weeks, my little brother survived Marines bootcamp!! there is NO words to describe how proud, happy and emotional it was to watch as he graduated yesterday. These were the toughest, most painful mentally and physically -13 weeks he has ever endured in his life. 


so unbelievably proud of you MJ!!

wedding bliss.


ready set.. wedding planning! everywhere i look it seems to be something for the wedding- ahh.. my parents house has turned into a craft store :) as each new day brings joy and excitement for the big day! it also brings us that much closer to goals and deadlines to get projects done. here are some of the FUN things we have done so far:


we made three triangle banners like this one. this one will go inside an old suitcase for people to place their cards into at the reception. (scrapbook paper and cut out letters)



this is the little pillow that my mom made for the ring boy- how cute! :)  (burlap and twine)

these little guys are my favors- homemade peach salsa! soo good!!  (small canning jars, canning crew of friends, tags and lots of love)

these will be added to the front of the church doors where people will be walking in as well as hung around the reception :) (wood, sandpaper, twine)

well.. there is a sneak peek for you all :) it has been so much fun preparing for this amazing day. i am eager for it to arrive and more than thrilled to spend the rest of my life with a great man! it is my prayer that the rest of this planning process goes just as smoothly.
