Friday at last!

I love Friday!  This week has been kind of crazy!  Crazy is a great way!
First, Saturday my bestest friend in the whole wide world got married!
Crazy!
I kind of can't believe she finally got married and now she's Mrs. Smith!  The wedding was perfect!  I am so blessed to have such a wonderful, amazing, truly great best friend, and get to stand right beside her as she married Brad.
So amazing!
This is a picture of my hair for the day (not a great one but better than the others I took).  I did it myself and I have to say I was impressed.  I watch a tutorial from The Small Things blog and I practiced a few times before the wedding.  I love Kate's blog, you can find the tutorial here.
I've been thinking of re-purposing by desk into something I might actually use.  Clearly I don't do any work at it now since it's just piled up with lots and lots of stuff (okay junk).  So I want to make it a vanity.  I'm really excited about this idea.  I'll post again once I've finished it.  
This week I ate some of the first tomatoes out of the garden.  I'm pretty sure there is NOTHING better than a tomato right out of the garden.  Our plants are full of tomatoes, so even though these were the first they won't be the last.  Me and my dad also planted our plot the church that we're growing for the Cooperative Christian Ministries.  While I excited about the garden at the house, I'm even more excited about this because we're going to give the vegetables we grow there to people who really need it.  How great is that!  
Rachel made these cute "redneck" wine glasses for the bridal party at the wedding.  I've been using my ever since.  I'm totally in love with it.  This is my cherry coke slushy. 

Normally I've been posting my new shoes here and they are normally super high heels, but this week I got some desperatly needed new rainbows.  My old ones were about to fall apart.  I really like there because of the braided strap.  Also, there's my new tattoo!  I'm in love with it.  
Hope you had a great week as well!  Happy weekend!

Wedding time!

So my bestest friend in the whole wide world, Rachel, is getting married.  And it's coming up so soon!  I'm so excited for her and Brad.  They are just the sweetest couple ever.  I love them!  Sunday some ladies from the church and myself had a bridal shower for Rachel and I wanted to share a few pictures from the day.  I'm also getting super excited because my bridesmaid dress came in this weekend too!  And Friday we're going down to Oak Island to celebrate Rachel!  More on that later, I'm sure. 
Jody had the cutest idea for some decorations at the shower.  She saw on Pinterest (of course!) a girl who for her boyfriend birthday put pictures of them on balloons.  So Jody did that with Rachel and Brad's engagement pictures!  So cute!


Jody also made like the best cupcakes ever!  I think she called them "old fashion" cupcakes.  They were amazing and had almond icing.  Yum!  Yum!

I got Brad to share some things he loves about the bride and I wrote those on a piece of canvas.  I was so excited about that because it was super secret :)  I made me happy to see Rachel read those.
The lovely Bride and her corsage.  I had a time trying to put it on, then my mom took over.





After the shower we took the balloons and took a few pictures.
