Merry Christmas!!!

Yay, Finally Christmas is here & sadly almost over but what an amazing day. 

After working all morning on Christmas Eve, I packed up my car & headed the 3ish hours home. 

Luckily, I made it just in time to open presents with my family. We usually only open one present on Christmas Eve but my brother was having Christmas at his house with his daughter and my little brother was heading to his moms for Christmas, so we had Christmas from the family on Christmas Eve, and Santa brought my little brother presents on Christmas morning. 

So here's what my wonderfully amazing family got for me!

Gray American Eagle Sweater (Also not pictures a light gray and clue AE sweater)

Black Knit Uggs

Black Heels from Target

Wedding Wednesday # 4

So not too much to report this time, but a few more things have happened.

I am finished with my 3rd semester for graduate school and can not wait to be done for good.

Finals were kills, and sleep was scarce, but after sleeping 11 hours last night, I am ready to go.

I called 2 churches today and left messages trying to set up times to meet this weekend.

Hopefully they will call me back soon.

♥

This weekend we are also getting our engagement pictures taken. 

I can not wait to see how they turn out<3

♥

This weekend we are also going to be registering for some wedding/bridal gifts!

I am not exactly sure who were gonna register through yet, but the whole experience should be a ton of fun.

♥

Busy weekend and thats not even all of it. I also have two holiday parties!!

Fun<3

xoxo. 

Hair Extension Help!!!

Help, 

As most of you know. I donated about 10 inches of my hair a couple of months ago and am slowly waiting for it to grow out!! 

Well, fiance and I are getting are engagment pictures done this weekend and I would like to have long hair in them. 

To have this, I purchased hair extensions. 

So they are a little bit lighter than my hair because strawberry blonde is apparently a hair color that people do not like extensions for. 

I am having my friend dye it soon though so bare with me. 

However, my issue is I can not for the life of me get the extensions to blend when they are straight....

♥

See, curly looks fabulous and you can't even notice the color difference, but when straught they do not blend at all.

Does anyone know what to do?

I am following the directions exactly...

Ugh!

xoxo.

Busy Little Bee!!

Sorry bloggies,

No Wedding Wednesdays today. 

I am too busy finishing my final papers and finals, that I have limited time to focus on getting anything done with our wedding!

But things will be back and running soon, probably Wednesday after next!! 

However, just to let ya'll know. Only 500 days until our Wedding!! 

♥

Today I am completely exhausted.

I can hardly move my arms.

I cleaned a women I babysit fors house.

Her husband is gone for military training for 3 months so I am helping her around the house and with the kids when she needs it.

So I woke up bright & early and cleaned form 7 to 12:30, then rushed to my new job and worked 1 to 4:45 and then had class form 5 to 7....

Ugh... 

Did I mention, I didn't even have time to eat in there!!

Phew.

♥

I am wiped out now and am going to enjoy the sing off and bed.

You don't know what the sing off is?

Well,  check it out here.

Not to mention, these awesome guys are on it.

Love them!!

The entire series is just a really good book if your into fantasy, Greek mythology and just a really fun easy read!!

Wedding Wednesday # 3

Not too much to report on the wedding section.

Due to the end of the semester and a lot of upcoming papers and finals, I have had to slow down a bit, but will be continuing again once the semester is over!!

I haven't even had time to work out much ugh!

I have been calling quite a few churches but am having difficulty finding churches near my hometown because I have lived at school for so many years..

I am also afraid that the fact that my fiance and I live together may cause issues..

Hmmm.... 

Tomorrow I will be speaking with the 3rd church I've contacted, so hopefully that goes well!!!

Cross your fingers!!!

♥

On a non-wedding related note:

THERE IS A MOUSE IN MY CAR!!

That is right, that is not a typo. 

Today I found little mice poops in my car.

Operation humanely rid the mouse from my car is now in effect!!

Wish me luck!!

♥

xoxo!
