Oh, Happy Day

Since all this wedding talk came up (well before the engagement) I have completely shut myself out of the fashion/shopping world. You have NO idea how difficult it's been for me! Fall is my time of year to go crazy with shopping. I just LOVE LOVE LOVE fall fashion! Well, yesterday Kale came up to my work and told me to take the day and SHOP!!! Holy cow...I just know my eyes lit up!! He gave me a limit, but needless to say, I went a little over! Oops..I really did not mean to do that! But now I have a few new outfits for the honeymoon and rehearsal..and maybe some new shoes, purses, and jewelry to go with it....

Yall have NO idea how much this perked me up! I hate getting into any kind of funk, but a wardrobe funk is the worst! Thanks, Jacquie,for giving him a little push to do this for me!

I really do have the most caring, generous and loving fiance in the world!

We Found THE Place!

Kale and I really enjoyed our trip to Houston!

Here was the first view we saw of the big city.             I was absolutely amazed at how many lights there were! haha. As you can tell, Friday night we got there a little late and were warned not to venture out too far in the area at night (not knowing where we were and all) so we decided to just stay at the hotel and have dinner at the little restaurant and called it a night.

My favorite part of the hotel???? This place!!

They had a little bridal room set up and I just fell in LOVE! Made me think of ya, Jacquie!

Saturday morning, we met with Kale’s boss to see the office. We had a plan to go to the top 3 apartment complexes we liked that we found online. After the office, we headed straight for our first choice…AND FELL IN LOVE! They didn’t have the one that we chose online open to tour, but this one is very similar to the one we got, just smaller. I am so ready to get some patio furniture and enjoy the warm nights!

(above picture is our actual building! Pretty cute, huh??)

EEEEKK! I can’t wait!

After finishing all the paperwork, we drove around the area to get a feel for things…and what do ya know. WE FELL IN LOVE! Everything is just so neat and well kept. Everyone was out playing catch, walking their dogs, or cleaning their cars. It seriously reminded me of Wisteria Lane (hopefully without all the drama!)

That evening we drove around some more and had dinner at a really nice Italian restaurant close to the mall. Here is the view from there.

SO quiet and clean! I promise it would be safe to eat off the sidewalk! haha. There was no trash ANYWHERE! And the shopping…OH BOY!!! It’s going to be very convenient when it’s time to decorate our new place!! :) Yep… I think I’m going to be a pretty content little wifey in this neck of the woods!! Oh, speaking of! EVERYTHING is hidden behind woods! You don’t just drive around and see buildings. You see woods with a nice, lit up sign with a company’s name out front and you know to turn in there. It really is incredible. That’s just genius, master planning right there!!!

Ahh! Can ya tell I enjoyed myself!?!?

P.S. I give some major props to the future Hubbs. He DROVE us around. Yep. That’s right…never driven there in his life. 4th largest city in the U.S. and we didn’t get lost once…I think I’ll keep him :)

P.P.S. The pool is open YEAR ROUND…oh, yea…this could be great :)

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed yourselves just as much as we did.

We're Out of Here...

Kale and I are headed to Houston for the weekend!!! Hopefully we will find a place that we both love! I'm also hoping to get a feel for the town, the people and most definitely...Houston fashion!!!I'm so excited to see how different it will be, but I definitely hope we can find an Arkansas feel to it...even if we have to take a little drive every week to find it!! I hope to see some trees and fields..not all octopus roads!! I'm not going to lie. The thought of the traffic absoulutely terrifies me! I'm going in with a clear head, though. No thoughts. No worries. No judgments. I really have no idea what to expect! All I pray for is that we find a safe place that feels like home so we can start our lives together happily and worry free :)

Wish us luck!! I will let you know how it goes when we get back!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
