wedding wednesday: location

Our wedding date is fast approaching. And with just 70 days left, not an hour goes by where I'm not thinking about something wedding related {well, maybe when I'm sleeping}

Last November, Alex proposed on top of a mountain {see: this post} and before we had even descended completely, we had pretty much decided on a destination wedding.

We threw around a couple of ideas and ultimately decided on Maui.

I cant wait to be here:

Drinking one of these:

I can't wait to marry him:

Here:

And to celebrate here:

Then dance the night away here:

It's going to be great :)

diy

I really love taking old, somewhat unattractive furniture and making it new again.

Some of my favorite projects include this desk:

And this dresser:

This weekend I finally got around to a project that I have been meaning to do for 2 years now. Embarrassing? Totally.

I'm not even sure why it took me so long to get around to it...it just did. BUT now it's done and ready to be shown {excuse the terrible "before" picture}

Now I need to figure out what to do with all those shoes...

iced coffee

There is nothing like a good cup of coffee to get you going in the morning. And on mornings like today, when the thermometer reads 100 degrees before you even have a chance to step outside, iced coffee is the way to go.

Until today I had never made iced coffee at home. I found this recipe on Pinterest recently and knew I had to try it. It's a pretty involved process but the end result is so worth it.

The best part is I have more for tomorrow :)

What's your favorite summertime drink?

new beginnings

This is my first post on my new blog {insert happy dance here}

I'm happy with the way it turned out, and even happier that my brother and I were able to do it ourselves!

I loaded the old posts from my other blog since they are still relevant to my life.

Welcome {and enjoy!}

bridesmaid cards

I finally got around to designing my bridesmaid cards this week. Since asking your wedding party to be part of your special day by phone is "so 1985" I decided to send cute little cards to the girls...

I love little DIY projects :)

one year

A year ago today, we didn't have Rocco. What did we ever do without him?

A year ago today, I wasn't engaged to my best friend. I definitely knew I wanted to be though :)

A year ago today, I wasn't an alumni of the Disney College Program. Little did I know I had some amazing people to meet and some wonderful memories to make.

A year ago today, I was eating Dominos and playing Mario Party. Thanks Facebook.

xoxo,

go madre, its your birthday

Last week was my dear mommy's birthday!

On the actual day we went to dinner at Marmalade Cafe which was both delicious and adorable.

The day after, a few of us headed to Universal Studios for the day...so fun! The weather was perfect and the park wasn't very busy so it was awesome.

There isn't really much to say about either event so here are some pictures...
