I handmade custom invitations for my bridesmaids and Rommel’s groomsmen to ask them to be in our wedding; after which I swore that would be my first and my last do-it-yourself project I would do for my wedding! Unfortunately, as costs continue to climb as we complete our wedding research, it was become impossible to [...]

New Save the Date Design

So our last design came in the mail, and it was pretty stinkin crappy. Got two second opinions on it: Ate Julie: Where’s the pictures? It’s supposed to have pictures of you guys! Jackie: It’s okay . . . it doesn’t look either of your guys’ styles at all. Heh, neither Rommel or I liked [...]

Still Debating my Colors
Posted in beauty, Mom, Rommel, shopping, wedding, Weekend on October 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
So, I know my colors are a dark shade of blue, silver, and some shade of purple, but I have not made the final decision and might not until I start meeting with vendors. Rommel hasn’t really been enthusiastic about the colors which I’ve been frustrated by because I want our wedding to represent us [...]

Speaking of the Muppets
Posted in beauty, Brother, Christmas!, family, happiness, Mom, Rommel on July 16, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
My family has a set of Muppet Christmas ornaments from the 70s that no longer make it onto my family’s (ahem, MOM’s) tree. About 9 years ago, during college, my brother and I stumbled upon this ornament of Ralph in one of the older “do-not-open-until-grandchildren” box of ornaments: We got excited about it and decided [...]
Rommel is wonderful and amazing!

I’m so lucky to be with a man who not only gets along with my family, but actually suggests all on his own that we go visit them even though it’s a five hr round trip! Omg, he gave up his one day off just for me to be able to see them a couple [...]

Okay, so this June was my 10 year high school reunion and there was no way in hell I was going to go. Haha. I honestly could care less about seeing people there since I already kept in contact with the few people I actually cared about. Besides, with Facebook there’s no need to go [...]

A few months ago I let my imagination loose and wrote in my journal (the tangible, hand-written one) a description of the kind of life I think would make me happy. Writing about and imagining myself as happy (truly, madly, deeply, un- apologetically happy) felt liberating, so I’ve actually re-read the journal entry a few [...]
