Tomorrow is the BIG Day! Gabe and I are getting married!!! I don't think I've ever been this excited. Ever in my life. All of our friends and family are here. Everyone is ready for our important day.
It's been a challenging few days. This has been a busy week for Gabe. Work wise. I've been trying to get all our wedding details finished up. Which may have lead to me being a little mean to Gabe. Because he forgot the monos. My bad. I didn't mean to be so horrible to him. But we've worked past that. Only good stuff is to come.
And with that, I'm signing off from the blog. At least for a few weeks. While Gabe and I get married. Oh, and there's the HONEYMOON! We're going to be in Hawaii.
I'm going to enjoy my last day, as a single mujer. I'm going to watch Gabe and his friends perform tonight. Tomorrow, I'm going to enjoy every second. Every second of our WEDDING DAY! I can't wait to be Mr. and Mrs.

Bridesmaids
In the midst of all this wedding stuff, I'm taking a bit of a break. When Bridesmaids came out, all of my bridesmaids and I, went to watch it. Just for fun. We LOVED it! It made us all laugh. The kind of laughing, that makes your belly hurt. It's that funny! Just what I need right now.
When does this movie come out on DVD? I could really use a good laugh right now. Maybe another night with my close friends. Just us, a good movie, and a lot of junk food. :)

Never Forget
We can never forget those people we lost on September 11, 2001. All those innocent people. Going about their day. Working. Traveling. Getting killed, just because of some heartless terrorists. But today is not about that. Today is about remembering. Remembering the innocent lives that were lost. We'll never forget.

Woke Up to This...
This morning, Gabe was in the best mood ever! I woke up to him singing. Went to go find out what was going on, and he was singing and dancing to this song! :) He is the best. I also got breakfast. Yes, just a few of the reasons why I'm going to marry him.
Do you see that dress? Gabe wants me to get one like that. Funny! I do like the top. But it is WAY TOO SHORT! This was not a bad way to wake up. Hopefully we have many more mornings just like this.

2 Broke Girls
Do you ever get excited about a TV show? One that you've never seen. But all the previews look hilarious! Well, 2 Broke Girls is that show for me.
I can't wait to see this show. When does it start? I'm almost positive, this is going to be one of my new favorite shows.

Fun!
Look at what I just found! Isn't it so fun? I like to dress casually. Especially, since I'm not working right now. With all this heat, I'm a t-shirt and shorts kind of a mujer. This necklace just screams fun to me.
I'm not at all crafty. Forget DIY. But my friend, has offered to show me how to make this necklace. I'm so excited! All I have to do, is venture to the craft store. By myself. This should be fun!

New Friends and Inspiration
Today I had my final makeup and hair consultation, with the beautiful Mrs. Manders. She is such a fun woman. I met her through la Chiquitita. I'm so glad that I did!
A little background on my fabulous new friend. She trained and got her license in all things beauty. Right after she was licensed 2 states, she met her hilarious husband, BB. Manders pretty much stopped working, they were married 4 months after they met! Now they have 3 beautiful kids. Including almost 18 month old twins!
Manders still works. On occasion. Her husband is the director of a Country Western band. This is were things get interesting. La Chiquitita is the lead singer, and fiddle player for the band. When they work, Mrs. Manders does her hair and makeup. How cool is that? Your best friend gets to travel with you, get paid to do what she loves, and you get to chat for hours at a time. I think that's a fun job!
I was searching for someone to do my hair and makeup for the wedding. Not only mine, but the entire wedding party. Including Gabe and I's moms and grandmas. In stepped Manders. She is wonderful. Reasonably priced. Willing to travel. Complete score!
When we got to talking, I told her that I didn't want to be completely made up. I wanted to look like me. But more polished. More elegant. Secretly, I want to look like Manders. Every single day of my life! She is a timeless beauty. Her makeup isn't too much. Just enough. Well, she suggested taking some inspiration from Kate Middleton.
I had never thought about that before. But it was exactly what I wanted. Just look at Kate! Perfection! Natural, polished, and elegant. Today, I played dress up. It was so much fun! We played with all sorts of ideas. And came up with the best look ever. A little inspiration from Kate, a bunch of talent from Manders, and we have my perfect wedding day look. I just can't wait for our wedding!

Bus Stop
The other night, Gabe and I were searching for something to watch. There really wasn't anything on TV. Isn't it weird? You have 300+ channels, and there's nothing interesting on TV. We found a new channel. You get it with the converter boxes. Anyway, Bus Stop was on. Marilyn Monroe is in it.
It was such a cute movie. One that we've never seen before. But we really did enjoy it. Funny. Usually we don't agree on movies. But this one was a winner. Isn't that what classics are though. Good for everyone that watches. Yes, we'll be watching this again.

Gorgeous
Yellow flower necklace. Fun. Elegant. Dainty because of the lace. Masculine with the metal. I'm pretty sure it's handmade. Probably from Etsy. I can't help but love this piece!
I spent 5 hours, looking for this necklace. On Etsy. On eBay. Anywhere I could think of. I came up empty handed. Sad. This is one of my favorite pieces, that I've come across. Just gorgeous. Where can I find it? Where is the seller?

1 Month
In 1 month, we'll be husband and wife. It's a scary, exciting, fun, blessing. Gabe and I have planned for this day, for a very long time. We're finally going to be married! Nothing is more exciting!
I came across this picture. It's everything that makes me smile. If Gabe was in there, it would be PERFECT! I've used this as inspiration for our wedding. I know it's going to be a special day. A fun day. One that we'll never forget. One month. I only have to wait one more month!
