Meet My Maids - Kayce

So I know I'm a day late with this one...

But things have been crazy busy around here...

I've got some exciting news to share with you soon... But today is about Miss Kayce!

Meet My Bridesmaid, Kayce!!!

Kayce and I at Kayce's Birthday Dinner 2011

Kayce and I also met my freshman year of college... Or was it sophomore year?

Either way, it was a little after Meghan and a little before the other Megan... haha.

Me, Kayce and our friend Lindsey my Sophomore year of college

We had LOTS of fun in college!!! And we STILL have LOTS of fun all the time!

You see... To make a LONG story as short as possible...

 I met Kayce through a friend, and we became really good friends, quickly...

Then... Mr. M's best friend came down one weekend to meet another friend of ours, and it just so happened he met Kayce first... They HATED each other...

Mr. M, Me, Mr. P (Kayce's guy and Mr. M's best man), and Kayce - South Padre Island 2010

Until they didn't anymore... haha. And the rest is history!!!

Mr. M and I like to take the credit... Even though it was mostly an accident... haha!

Mr. P and Kayce are our go to couple! We do almost everything with them! :)

When we move into our new house, we'll finally be in the same town again.

Let's just say the guys are REALLY looking forward to it!

But so are we!

Because, like I said, we ALWAYS have fun!!!

Fun for Friday!

It's FRIDAY!!! YAY!!!

I just wanna share a fun post today! To celebrate Friday at the end of a long week!

Look what my sweet bridesmaid, Kayce, gave me!!

She made a trip to Victoria's Secret... And bought me a little pre-wedding party present!

CUTE, right!?!?!

The funnest part was listening to Mr. P, Kayce's guy and Mr. M's Best Man, tell Mr. M...

"You should see the outfit she got to go with that!!! You're gonna love it man!"

HAHAHAHAHA

So of course, I HAD to try it on!!! :)
FYI: It's SUPER HARD taking a pic of yourself with a mask on... Just sayin'. haha



What do you think? Sexy Little Bride for sure, right?!? heehee!
You can get one of these CUTE masks here!!
And while you're there, check out all the SEXY Bride wear from Victoria's Secret!!! :)

THANKS KAYCE! :) I LOVE IT!

Did you receive anything fun BEFORE your wedding that you really enjoyed?
What was it? :)

Happy Weekend All!!!

Flower Girl Rope Baskets

This last weekend, my AWESOME sister-in-law to be, Arina volunteered to make the flower girl baskets for the wedding!!!

When I say volunteered...

What I really mean is I tried conning her into making some rope vases...

Which in all honestly are the MOST time consuming, TEDIOUS job in my wedding planning...

And although she graciously, and understandably, declined,

she started right away on the job of flower girl rope baskets!!

Arina, starting a basket

By the time they went home on Sunday, she had one almost finished and enough old ropes loaded in the back of their truck to make the other three and then some!

Arina working on a rope basket, while I worked on a rope vase!

THANKS ARINA!!!

Such a HUGE help! And they look adorable!

I can't wait for our girls to carry them in the wedding!

(Well, HER girls too! Two of them are Arina's daughters, Ada and Abby!)

While she was there and working on the baskets, it forced me to sit down and finish another rope vase. So... that makes three.

Um... Is it time yet to start panicking that I won't have enough...

I'm going to say no and charge on!!! I work best under pressure anyway! haha!

So what do you think?

Was there anything you felt really pressured to get done during your wedding planning?

Did you make it?

If not how did you deal?

Meet My Maids - Meghan Jo

I would LOVE to introduce you to my bridesmaid, Meghan Jo!!

Meghan at her bridal shower

She's the third bridesmaid to be introduced in my Meet My Maids Series!!

I met Meghan Jo our freshman year in college!

(We use the Jo, her middle name, to differentiate between her and other bridesmaid, Megan)

She grew up in the same town as Mr. M.

They were in the same class and came to college at the same time.

So... technically Mr. M is the reason for me meeting my bestie Meghan Jo!

(Gotta give him some credit...)

We became college roommates our Sophomore year of college and had a BLAST!!!

Really... Maybe TOO much fun sometimes... haha...

Our friend, Deidra, Me and Meg at the Thunder From Down Under in Las Vegas 2008 :)

Meghan Jo married Kenny (one of Mr. M's groomsmen) in 2007 (? I think... oops) and I was her maid of honor!!! It was a PLEASURE!! Again, we had SO much fun!

But we ALWAYS have fun... ;)

Me, handing Meg her bouquet on her wedding day... BEAUTIFUL bride, right?!?

Now, Meghan and Kenny live right down the road from us (until we move to our new house) and are some of our BEST friends!!! We go over for poker nights, birthday parties (Meg throws an awesome dinner party!!) and just enjoy hanging out!

Meghan was even my first recruit after I started selling Scentsy!!!

Me and Meg at the Scentsy Spring Sprint Event in Phoenix, AZ
February 2011

LOVE this lady!! MUCH!! And I am so thrilled that she is a HUGE part of my life and that her and her hubs are going to be a part of our big day!!

Dresses Weekend #2 Recap

This last weekend was WAY fun!!

Bridesmaid, Meghan Jo and I drove to Las Cruces after work on Friday and stayed with Bridesmaid Charli. We stayed up til 2 am chit chatting and catching up!!!

It was WAY fun!!

While we were there, Charli's current roommate, Raynee was packing for her honeymoon!

Her wedding was on Saturday!!

It was fun to get to see her before her big day!!

Aren't they a GREAT couple!!! *Nabbed from Raynee's facebook ;)

Raynee's wedding planning tip:

"PACK early!

Don't wait til the night before when you don't have any clean clothes!!"

:) GOOD tip! One you don't think about for sure...

Raynee's bridesmaids ended up wearing the SAME dresses that TWO if my maids ended up picking!!! We got ALL of the bridesmaid dresses ordered!

Charli's was already in... So we got to see what it looked like on... LOVE THEM!!

Shame on me... I know... I didn't take ANY pictures.

WHAT was I thinking?!?

But that's ok... It leaves the girls' actual dress choices as a surprise!

Suffice it to say we have one with a cute dress and cover up.

One with a cute bubble hemmed dress.

Two with the same cute dress as Raynee's maids.

And two with a cute strapless dress.

We also looked for my mom's dress... but couldn't find one that she really liked...

So we'll keep looking!

I'm starting to get REALLY excited.

We started talking about parties to come and getting them planned...

The invitations are sent to the printer!
Things are really coming together!! :)

IDEA:

I'd like to host a wedding advice blog hop here and on my Truly Lovely blog...

Would you all be interested in contributing??

A soon to be married couple can use all the advice they can get...

You would write up a post on your advice for a soon to be married couple...

Whether YOU'RE married or not. ANY good advice would be awesome!

And link it up to the hop...

I'm thinking open it up the first-ish of April...

Let me know what you think?

Good idea?

P.S. Check out this Guest Post by Alisha of All About Us over on Truly Lovely!
She explains how to attach your email address to your account within blogger,
so that you are no longer a
"No-Comment Blogger".
If you are that means you can leave me a lovely comment and sadly... I cannot write directly back to you via e-mail... Which stinks... So please, go read that and fix up your account!!!
Thanks!!!

Meet My Maids - Tracey

I'd like you to meet my bridesmaid, Miss Tracey!!

*Note - I am going to introduce you to each maid now in the order that I met them...

Makes for an easy way to decide who's next... haha!

Technically I've known Tracey longer than I've known my sister, Kayli... haha.

But only because Kayli wasn't born yet!

I met Miss Tracey after her parents moved down the road from my parents when we were just little tykes! She has been my longest (un-related) friend!!

Tracey, Me and RyRy

We shared a seat on the school bus, went to church activities together, then later Tracey drove me to school after she got her license (she's 1 year and 2 months older).

We played basketball, volleyball and ran track together.

We spent long hours swinging on the swings at our town park and just chatting!!

I LOVE this lady! And now I LOVE her two little boys!!

Ryan and Kaden

Just an FYI:

I'm going to go ahead and take the credit for suggesting Kaden's name...

'Cause I did... and I'm awesome like that... haha.

Little mister Ryan will be one of the ring bearer's at the wedding.

(Kaden will only be 3 months old..)

Tracey, Mr. M and Me

Tracey lives in North Dakota now with her little family... And I miss her ALL the time!!

We stay in touch through facebook and the phone...

Thankfully she sends me pictures of her little guys so I don't have to miss them growing up!!

And I AM so excited for her to come home for the wedding!!!
