Springing Ahead!

It seems like just last week we were enjoying that extra hour of sleep once a year. But Spring is just around the corner, and I'm ready. After putting in my notice at my current job, one of my coworkers said it best, I'm not leaving just because, its a lifestyle change. She probably doesn't know it, but I'm really trying to embrace that. Because its true! I'm COMPLETELY switching gears, EVERYTHING is going to be different; and I would be lying if i said I wasn't terrified. But change is inevitable, and by taking my life into my own hands, I already feel better about everything, and its only just beginning.
Things I want to change with my new lifestyle change....in no particular order
  1. Fashion- I want to be conscious of my outfits, and try to wear something nice every day. I think I can make this happen by pairing different pieces I have and being creative. Something that will help me be accountable would be like and outfit of the day post---or maybe a recap @ the end of each week?
  2. Fitness- I want need to get my butt to the gym 4 days a week--no more excuses. The gym we have a membership to is LITERALLY on my way to/from work...and its only a 5 minute ride, so I can no longer use the excuse that my schedule sucks and my commute is to long. A minimum of a half hour workout 4 days a week...and then maybe get back into fitness classes???yes.
  3. Chores- I'm terrible at this. My bed is a mess, the clothes are on the floor, and there are dishes in my sink. I need to get better at this. I don't really know how so suggestions are welcome!!
3 Areas of my Life I can change. I just need to remember to change your life you have to take the first step. Just like with my job, I didn't like it, so I changed it. It didn't happen immediately, but I stuck with it and have landed a perfect job for me.

{[Wedding recap]} The Dresses

Every girl dreams of their wedding dress their whole life, and this was was ONE thing I did not give myself a "set" budget for with our wedding, and my dress was absolutely perfect. It was the perfect blend of princess & romantic. I wore the Maggie Sottero Sabelle gown
My strapless dress had detailed beading around the top with a beautiful sweetheart neckline, pickups with hand appliqued flowers in each one, and lace to die for!


Lets be honest, these shoes are amazing.
My maid of honor's dress, the bridesmaid wore opposite colors

All the bridesmaids wore matching shoes...adorable!

Big news!!!

I've been offered a new job!
I am absolutely thrilled and over the moon about it <3
So things are going to be pretty crazy the next few weeks,
In case I disappear, dont worry I will be back...


Also some updates, I've really been a lot happier the past couple weeks, and this makes me even more happier...yes that was a grammatically correct sentence i know. But my motivational board, my new job, and happier outlook on life has really been helping me hold on to the better moments in life and dismiss the bad ones. I'm embracing the people in my life who are positive people, and realizing those are the relationships that matter the most.

I know life won't always be puppies and rainbows....but right now i'm feeling pretty darn good :)

Catch-up!

While I hope to do a more in-depth post on each of these projects...I'd thought I'd pop in to show you what we have been up to the past month!

Remember this? If not I blogged about it here

This is my parents house, and we've been working so hard!

Here's how it looked a few weeks ago with all the tile! Pretty awesome and this is definitely the biggest project we have tackled in our house, and our parents and we're both really pleased how it turned out!


Then we moved to Grandmas house......

And turned this.....
And these....
into this!!! I LOVE how this turned out and grandma loves it even more. Handy Hubby strikes again.

We've now turned back to our house and we're working on OUR master bathroom...here's some sneak peak pictures:


Hopefully more in depth posts will follow up soon!
Have a good night all!
