100 days!

Ahhh - 100 DAYS!  Now it's really starting to sink in, and I'm getting beyond excited.  We've planned so much, but there is still so much more to do for the wedding.  All of the little fun details.  I've got several DIY projects spinning around in my head right now, but we'll see what actually happens with those hah.
And to make the day EVEN better, I just found out that my dress came in and is ready to be fitted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sooo excited! (maybe a little over excited)
Anyway, time is flying by so quickly and I know the big day will be here before I know it.  These last few months are going to be great - full of showers, and celebrating, and engagement bliss :)  I'm just trying to enjoy it all, because it only happens once!  Such an exciting time, and I can't wait to celebrate with everyone!

Belated Birthday Pics

Since it's been over two months since my birthday, I figured what better time to post pics from my 26th birthday celebration. :)  John planned a great day of wine tasting on the wonderful Boomerang Bus - it was so much fun!  For those of you who haven't experienced the joys of the boomerang bus, it is quite an experience.  It is a painted school bus complete with stripper poles for dancing.  You may be thinking "poles for dancing, really? reealll classy".  And most people when they first get on the bus may think the same, but let me assure you that by the end of the day everyone on that bus is dancing.  It really is a good time had by all.  Here are some pics from the great birthday celebration!

On the way out to the vineyards

Around 10 am, and already drinking
 Mimosas are a must for any bday celebration :)
Wine tasting at the first vineyard
The first vineyard we went to was Bluemont Vineyard.  We got really lucky - it was a beautiful day for March, and the views from the deck were awesome.
Out on the deck
Enjoying the great weather and wine
Group shot - thanks to everyone that came with us!
No birthday would be complete without birthday cake, and the signing of "Happy Birthday" by the entire bus!  What a great decorating job by John and his friends haha.

I had such an amazing time!  Thanks to everyone that celebrated with me, and a special thanks to my wonderful fiance for planning it all! He knows me too well :)

5 YEARS!

April 29th was a BIG day!  And no, not because of Will & Kate's Royal wedding. (Although that was a pretty big deal, and I may have gotten up at 545am to watch :) )  But because April 29th was also John and I's 5 year anniversary!  I can't believe it's been 5 years already and less than 4 months until we get married! 
Here's a look back at us on our anniversary the last 5 years...

2006
2007
2008
2009
2010
If you notice a trend in the first few pictures, it's because we started dated on the same day as Foxfield in 2006.  Which could seem like a coincidence, except that we made the date up later. :)
It's been an amazing 5 years, the best of my life, and I can't wait to spent the rest of of our lives together.  Happy anniversary babe!
