Katniss

Feel free to make fun of me as much as you want.

But this is happening regardless of what you think.

I know I am 3 months early, but still I don't care.

I do what I want. 

Halloween costume planning.

You can laugh now.

But I can't even describe to tell you how much I love Halloween.

In college being in a sorority we got to dress up all the time.

In the real world... not so much & I miss it dearly.

But Halloween I still get to have my fun.

This year?

I am going to be KATNISS!!!!!!!

If you know me at all then you know how obsessed I am with 

the Hunger Games and this should be no surprise.

I'm even thinking some fake blood and a big gash on my forehead?

What you think???

Hahaha... I know I am way too early but this was fun regardless :)

Now I am off to work!
Hope you all have a fabulous weekend!!!

Wedding #57: We Bought a Zoo

I finally saw We Bought a Zoo. Saw & cried a lot. I was crying at 22 minutes in, but at this point it was little tears. Part way through there was some blubbering sobs & at the end oh my... water works galore. I cry super easily, so this was really no surprise. My boyfriend just sits there & laughs at me which honestly makes me cry harder (while punching him of course). I love making wedding inspiration boards based on my favorite movies (i.e. Hunger Games) & so I really was excited to create this inspiration board! 

And of course I'm linking up again this week for 

Wedding Wednesdays with A Charming Occasion! 

On a related side note... has anyone read the book? 

& if so... is it worth reading???

Wedding Inspiration #57: We Bought a Zoo

Now I am in the mood to go to a zoo...

I wonder if there's one near Savannah??

Anybody know??

Anyway, this week is rough for me.. I have been overly tired for some reason.

I am just ready for the week to be over. 

Then I get to drive up to Greenville to meet my new baby cousin!!!!!

It's her baptism!!! I can't wait to meet her!

Pictures to come! :)

Sundays at Home #9: Hunger Games

To say I am obsessed with the Hunger Games is such a huge understatement.

I read 7/8 of the 2nd book on one plane flight & finished it first thing the next morning.

Now I am about halfway through the 3rd book.

I am so so so obsessed & am brainstorming more Hunger Games wedding inspiration boards...

Anyway, for this week's Sunday at Home, I wanted to share some inspiration

For Hunger Games in the home that I spotted on Pinterest...

Although I doubt I would never do anything like this, it's still fun to see :)

Sundays at Home #9: Hunger Games

I'm creating a list of 25 signs of an obsession with the Hunger Games.

So far I have 2... both of which made who I told them laugh a lot.

So all you Hunger Game addicts out there get excited for me to share that... :)

Hope your weekends were all fabulous!!

Oh, How Pinteresting #2

This week has been a really crazy one! I have worked every day & woke up Monday with a sinus infection... which wasn't too bad considering that only my throat hurt, but it did make it hard for me to sleep because whenever I'd swallow in my sleep it's hurt so bad it'd wake me up. It's going away though now that I'm on meds. Anyway, when I was up from 4am to 630am not able to sleep I watched the awful Lifetime Movie with Shannon Elizabeth (foreign exchange student from American Pie). & this got me thinking... I will hire a wedding coordinator for my wedding to avoid the family/relationship drama that goes on in this movie! 

The movie is all about this fairytale couple 

who start planning a wedding & it's a big ol' disaster. 

So much stress is put on them they end up calling off the marriage.

I think that's why it's important to include a wedding planner in your budget.

You can tell them your vision & they manage all the organizing & research

While you get excited for the biggest party of your life!

So anyway, for this Pinteresting Wednesday I decided to show pins of my dream wedding!! :)

Oh, How Pinteresting #2

And now some random fun pins...

Updates, Taylor Swift & Hunger Games

New About Me info page design! Honestly not really sure if I like it. Will prob re-do at some point in time. Also... I love Taylor Swift. Just saying. Oh & The Hunger Games. Saw it for a 2nd time today & cried just as hard at Rue's death as the first time. I've been having a rough week, so I decided I wanted to go see it again. Been super homesick & got some bad feedback lately which is always a bummer. Watching the movie again cheered me up though fo' sho. I pretty much have a huge girl crush on Katniss. Oh & Taylor Swift too. Watched Like Crazy last night & well {1} I cried like crazy and {2} I had a love/hate relationship with Katniss. 

When I go on runs through the woods I like to pretend I'm her. True life. Anyway, here is the video of when Taylor Swift hugged me. Ignore my terrible singing... :) Now you all know why my favorite TSwift song is "Tim McGraw." I really need to download her new songs... But um can we talk about this for a minute... Did this Cosmo issue actually happen & I missed it??? The date on it says May 2011... I'm really confused, I mean there is no way if there was a Cosmo with Taylor Swift on it that I would not purchase it, which leads me to believe this never happened. But I mean it had to of happened right???  One thing I suggest you never do is ride on a long road trip with me while listening to Taylor Swift only. I tend to ask about a million questions about every song & who she wrote it about. This has happened... on more than once occasion. 

Wedding #43: The Hunger Games

Finally saw Hunger Games last night.

Obsessed.

I was so nervous the entire time.

Not sure my heart rate slowed at any point.

& I was squeezing my boyfriend's hand super hard the whole time.

It was great, I seriously loved it.

Oh yeah & I seriously cried a lot after a certain someone's death...

I bought the book too so I started reading it afterwards.

Anyway, I was inspired by this shoot I saw on Green Wedding Shoes

a week ago, & I wanted to use it for some inspiration!

Spoiler alert down below! Don't scroll down if you don't want me to give anything away!

Wedding Inspiration #43: The Hunger Games

I apologize in advance if I ruin anything for you...

But this is the scene that had me bawling like a baby...

Man now I want to see it again.

Just can't get enough.

And I really wish I had illustrator...

I would love to make a chevron bow & arrow print for some easy wall art.

So pretty! 

Anyway, hope you all have a great start to your week!
