Updates coming soon.

This thing looks old and dated and the info on the side bar is clearly incorrect. As are those pictures but oh look at those CUTIES! My little babies. I might just leave it like that because I miss those sweet faces so.

TWO YEARS!

Blogs last forever. The beauty of the internet. Or maybe the curse. Depends right?

 It has been two years since I posted anything here. Looking back it is kind of fun to remember those moments of our lives. Not much has happened since then but there were things I wish I had written down to remember in the future. I do have thousands of pictures though thanks to camera phones and my Instagrtam addiction. Memories are a little stronger with journal style entries though. Something big that did happen since April 2012 is Sal and I got engaged. This is a rather big deal no? My dear little brother suggested doing a blog instead of a wedding website. I'll have both because I am an attention whore and instead of creating a new blog I figured I'd just use this one. It's easier than making a new one and well, I'm honestly pretty lazy.

So. Here you have it. I'm back to blogging. I have surely made this statement before so no one hold their breath. I'd like to chronicle the wedding planning. It is really quite tedious and the wedding industry is a huge racket but I'm totally feeding into it. I do have plans to do much of it myself though. and by myself I mean with the gracious help of loved ones. I will be sharing those projects here for anyone that is interested.

 My crazy DIY plans:
- Grow my own flowers
-Make my own decorations
-Do dy own papers stuffs ( invites, menu cards, programs, etc.)
- Make the flower girl dress
-Make my attire! Super excited for this one! I cannot, cannot justify spending $1000ish on a dress to wear one day when I can, with my wonderful grandmother's help, make a one of a kind dress for a quarter of the cost.

 Many things I will not be attempting. Food: no way, leave it to the pros. The bar? Yeah, I don't want those problems. Cake: I want to do this myself but I don't have time. That is unreasonable, sadly.

 I know a wedding is about the marriage and the whole uniting of two lives. I'm really thankful that we have that opportunity when so many are denied it. But I'm not going to lie. I want the big party too. How often do you get a chance to get together with all the people you hold dear and have a great big dinner and dance and celebrate? If I offened anyone with my IT'S MY DAY nonsense I apoligize. I'll try not to be a brat. And hey, this is better than flooding your Facebook feed and Instagram and other social networks with my prattle. You at least have the option to ignore me here.

 There will still be cute pictures and stories of the kids though so you can come for that too. They are still super cute.
