¡Happy Cinco de Mayo!

Happy Cinco de Mayo, my friends! It seems fitting after my most recent posts about my first trip to the beautiful country. Nothing like 100% cotton peasant tops (from my middle school favorite, American Eagle), a great set of wedges, and a new pair of polka dots Nikes. I went a little crazy with my…

The first step I took in wedding planning was to create a wedding website. I didn’t have all the information that I needed at that time, but it helped me get a better grasp on what I needed to do next. Seeing as how I already had 3 WordPress blogs, I knew I was going…

Discovering Vancouver

It finally happened. I made it to Canada, Vancouver to be exact. It was beautiful and so much bigger than I expected.

the gateway to crazy

The Gateway Arch in St. Louis is the world’s tallest arch. Isn’t that nuts?! They built this sucker in the mid 60s and plopped it right on the edge of the Mississipi River. Back then it cost $13 million to construct. That’s equivalent to $180 million these days. When I finally saw the arch in…
