daisy, our vintage beauty

finally we have our wedding photos! blogging has not been so easy lately though, i do not work on the computer 8 hours a day anymore, and my home computer is not fit for such intricacies! (mostly because i can't store the pictures on it, the old bag) but here is a little peek. i really wanted a vintage car for the wedding day so i searched high and low and couldn't find anything in utah. all of the car services only carried new nice cars,limousines and imports, etc. i had almost given up when out of the clear blue this client of my mom's, Sam, called her office and told her that he bought a 1937 buick. since she knew that i was looking for a vintage car she asked him what he was going to use it for- low and behold- a car service! for weddings! (and such.) i could not have been more excited when i spoke to him on the phone! his service is called something vintage something blue and he works around the salt lake area. this beautiful car's name is daisy. we had so much fun riding around in her back seat, sam drove us home from the temple and the best part was people honking at us because they knew we were just married. we also caused a car accident! right next to us, this lady and her kids were pulling up to the light that we were stopped at and just staring at the vintage beauty, and they rear-ended the truck in front of them! they were all laughing so hard and so were we. i don't think the owner of the truck was laughing though.

shelves and happiness.

I am obsessssed.

via decorology. Now that I have my own home to "make" I just want to do it all. It is a work in progress, but finally starting to feel like a home and not just a mess of mismatched things. (okay, most things are still mismatched but maybe that's how I like it.) I have some cutie shelves in my family room and I have so many fun ideas for them. Who else loves these pictures? It's fun to find ways to use things that I have had forever in new ways. I am very thankful right now for my impulse to collect home decor in the recent years even though I had nowhere to put any of it until now. It is coming in so handy!! I might even be ready to invite people over soon....

love this picture. i feel like it goes with the gloomy day it is outside. but in a good way. lovey and i are off to see a movie and have a party day to celebrate my day off and our lub.

nesting and happiness.

All I can think about is decorating my house, it must be the married in me! I just have this itch! It seems easy. I think of so many ideas all the time... but.. what I need is FREE ways to decorate, considering the complete lack of funds I have to put towards it. Oh except for the $400 something dollars I have to Bed Bath & Beyond. I wish I could trade it for other stores! They don't have what I want. I am looking at the blogs I used to look at daily and not many of them are helpful right now because I already planned my wedding. As much as I love weddings I am not into it right now! I need some home decorating cottage style budget friendlyish reads. Anyone know of any? I am going on a hunt! :) I will report on what I find.

My usual go-to is better homes & gardens. They have a bunch of little magazines that have the cutest ideas and easy tutorials!

happiness!

I am back. I feel sheepish and I wonder if anyone even checks this anymore!? Things got super busy with moving, starting a new job, and trying to fit wedding planning and errand running into every spare moment that there was. Things have calmed down- a little. I will blog more about the wedding later but I do want to just say how PERFECT it was! I have loved every second beginning the night before when we had our wedding dinner til now. That dinner, the wedding, the reception, and the honeymoon could not have gone smoother! Marriage is the best thing in the world and I am so happy and excited that I get to enjoy this happy feeling forever.

Now for some good news- Courtney Brooke took our pictures and she is awesome, and now they have been featured on a couple blogs! So since I am a punk and don't have time to post them myself I am going to share those links if anyone is interested in checking them out. I can't wait to see the pics from the wedding at the temple and the reception.

also, Kate Osborne was our second photographer and she has posted a few from the wedding on her website! Here is the direct link.

lists and happiness.

I love making lists. Lists (and my cute fianceeee) are usually the only thing that can help me in my moments of panic. You know, when you have so much to do but you have no idea where to start? So I feel like making a list today, but not a list of things I need to do asap, because that is not fun.

list of things I dream about-

jacob and i getting to live together, just the two of us.

being so poor we eat cup noodles in different variations every day-and don't mind.

being his wife forever.

being an aunt to 2 cute boys and the baby girl in linda's tummy!

decorating our new little house. making it our home for the next 2 years.

getting our first puppy together.

graduating college and moving somewhere new.

starting a family.

going on family vacations to the lake.

watching our children grow up and being best friends with them.

living in the south and having a wraparound porch.

us still cuddling when we are 80.

laundry and weddings and happiness.

So, these pictures are awesome, am I right??! Who would think of a laundry themed wedding shoot? So creative! So adorable! I love this shoot. Justin and Mary Marantz and their affiliates are responsible for bringing us these lovely photos. My favorite idea here is having pillows on the picnic bench! Perfect for the theme and a creative way to save your guests from numb-bum.
