Bachelorette Party Fun!!!!

Amanda and I had our joint bachelorette party this weekend and it was so much fun!!! We were so blessed to have all our closet family and friends in attendance for a day in the sun on the St. Croix River and then a fun dinner and night of celebration.

We had a great photographer to capture all the memories.  Amanda's aunt has her own photography business...so props to Shelby Leigh Photography for the great photos!!!!

Celebrating a very special day with my bestie...
























Love my friends and sister that attended!!!

Perfect weather :)

















We got pulled over because some of the girls were sitting on the back of the boat...they were super nice and we only received a warning!!

















The whole gang...we are so blessed!!!

















The on to a night of fun with everyone...here we are with my momma :)
























We are very grateful and appreciative of all the gifts we received...

















It was so much fun and I am glad everything went smoothly and the weather was BEAUTIFUL!!!  I wouldn't want to have spent my bach party any other way.  Thank you Amanda for sharing your special day with me...BESTIES FOR LIFE :)

XOXO!!

2 months...

It is less than 2 months until Tate and I become husband and wife :)  I am so excited for this day to FINALLY arrive.  I am feeling more and more ready. Wedding items that we have finished that were on the 3 month post are:

- Invitations have been sent!!!  Can't wait to start getting the RSVP's in the mail!!!
- Flower girl dress is ordered and I already received it...I love it
- Readings and songs have been finalized...but we need the priest to approve them and we don't meet with him until Sept 25th, fingers crossed that they are ok.

flower girl dress that lil' miss Rylee Jane is going to look so adorable in!!!


















Non wedding items that we finished are:

- bought and but on all kitchen cabinet handles
- bought and have only about 4 door hinges to put on
- stained the deck

What still needs to be done for wedding and non wedding are:

- programs all ready so that once the priest approves...print and assembly is all that is needed.
- get all the men to tux place to get measured
- decorate cupcake stand
- hair trial
- spray paint entry foyer light
- buy new kitchen table
- buy furniture for entry way
- Re-stain the post tops for the deck and glue them on

I am sure there is more that I can't think of right now.  It's get so close...I just want to be able to relax and have everything done a good 2 weeks before the wedding!!!  We will see :)

Rylee Jane turns 1

Our Godchild has turned 1 and I can't believe how fast the year went!!!

We had a wonderful time this past weekend in my hometown for a few celebrations.  I attended my bestie's wedding shower (only a couple weeks away from the big day) and then a big celebration for Rylee turning 1.

a very happy baby...
