Exciting News!


Hello friends! I have been M.I.A as of late and have put the closet on hold. I have a good reason though! I am ENGAGED!
 Isn't my ring beautiful!? I am in love! He definitely did good! hahahah

Mike popped the question on the weekend and I was completely shocked. I wasn't expecting it at all!! We have decided on a fall 2011 wedding and are so excited!! So, there might be some wedding inspiration posts, maybe a few wedding d.i.y projects...and if any of you have great sites I should check out post the link in a comment! (or any great tips I should know)

I am one of those girlie girls who have dreamed of their weddings for as long as I can remember. I am not crazy though. I think the cost of weddings can be ridiculous! (I am thrifty, remember?!) I don't want a crazy expensive wedding (I would rather save money for a down payment on a house) But I know you can still have a beautiful wedding and not spend a ton. (That is my plan anyway!!)

I haven't stopped smiling since he asked me.
