Give Away next door!

Check out this fabulous give away my friend Jessica is doing! I hope to win and wear the dress to my rehearsal dinner!

A little catch up....

The last week and a half have been packed with all kinds of fun things, I will quick fill you in!

My Bible study volunteered at Art for the Nations

This is an organization run by a husband and wife who had a brilliant idea to create bags of art supplies and projects that can share the Gospel with young under privileged kids all over the world.

So each of our group members painted a bag and then stuffed it with art projects, supplies, and Gods love, it was a really fun night and I can't wait to do it again!

My friend Chelsea from nursing school came out to hang for the week!

She learned to snowboard...and even attempted this black diamond! We had a girls day and got facials and body scrubs, did some bridesmaids dress shopping and just hung out. She left Saturday and I miss her already!

Chelsea and I have a friend from nursing school (Amy N.) who just started her first travel nurse assignment and she was placed right here in Denver, CO!! So we spent 2 days skiing/snowboarding with her and D.

We enjoyed good quality hang time, and enjoyed some great music at the Laughing Goat!

Saturday I continued on in the journey of dress making, it was a little tougher this week, let me tell you making boobs look good in a dress is tough! No body wants pointy miss-shaped craziness going on....so lets just say I used the seam ripper a few times!

My teacher Nora on the left and a few of my class mates.

Pattern and pieces cut front and back top coming together...more to show in 2 weeks!

the beginnings of a wedding dress!

The idea that I have on paper made its way to fabric today! In my first class I learned so much! Draping, pattern cutting, pinning and so much more. This is going to be so much fun, and my teacher Nora is so nice.

First we padded this form so that it was the same size as me then we started draping to make my pattern.

The shop is super cute and its really fun to be hanging out with a bunch of creative ladies (there were 4 other women in my class tonight). One of the girls is 18 and she is making a killer prom dress that she is entering in a JoAnn fabrics contest where she can win $50,000.00


Class one of 3 complete! Now I'm off to do my homework!

Boredom setting in...

I don't know about anyone else, but I tend to get bored of the same old hair style month after month. I have been trying to avoid highlights because they require too much up keep. I am loving the hair feathers, but I decided I just needed a bigger change. So I took the plunge and chopped off some bangs! Its weird seeing myself in the mirror, it kinda feels like I'm wearing a wig. I think I like it...for now it will satisfy my desire for change!

Visiting Luna...

I just got back today from my little vacation to Spokane, WA. The trip was full of wedding planning and baby cuddling!

Me holding Luna for the first time.

She is such a smiley girl!

You better believe we did some thrift shopping! This little vest was one of the cutest things we found, Luna seemed to love it.

I had to make sure I didn't buy too much, I only had a carry on to get everything back to Denver in! I found this cute collapsible vintage cookbook holder that I couldn't pass up.

Luna and I did a lot of Wedding blog surfing to get some ideas for the big day this May.

The Lux fam and I enjoyed breakfast Sunday at this adorable shabby chic restaurant called Chaps.

We did a little wedding dress shopping just for fun. I am planning on making my own dress but I had to try on a few dresses just for the experience. I only have 2 pictures because Becca got scolded for taking pictures...apparently its not allowed.

I spent my last night in Spokane snuggled up to this little doll face in her Moby wrap...life doesn't get much better than that!

He Asked....And I Said YES!

It was a warm Sunday, the mountains had just been dumped with snow...so we decided to go snow shoeing.

We had to hike 3 mile just to get to the trail head (b/c the roads were closed due to the snow.)

The sun was shining and the air was crisp, it couldn't have been a nicer day!

But it was hard work trudging through all that deep snow. I needed to stop and refuel multiple times.

After about 5 miles of hiking we hit a ridge, we could see where we were and we were about 2 miles East of where we needed to be. knowing that the summit was still about 4-5 mile off and that I was tired we decided to eat lunch. As we looked out we were surrounded by snow covered mountains and sunshine. That is when he did it...he said some sweet loving words, got down on one knee (in his snow shoes) and asked me. I smiled said yes and kissed him.

I smiled the whole way down the mountain (The 5 mile hike back seem so much easier for some reason)

We had to stop frequently so I could un-glove my hand to look at and admire my ring once more!

The white clear stone is called apatite, and the aqua colored stone is called chalcedony the two stones are on recycled sterling silver. I love the unique artsy feel (D did have a little help picking it out =)

Details of our summer 2011 wedding to come!

{2 YEARS}

Dinner at La Sandia

D tried the Tequila sampler

We both ate the mango Salmon mmmm......

Then we went to Boulder for drinks and some entertainment.

Saturday we went to A-Basin for our first ski day of the year.

The snow on my butt shows that I am still a little rusty.
