Medieval fun

Had such a marvelous time at the renaissance festival.

It was the last weekend before the season ended. I was lucky enough to have gone on Celtic Christmas!

It was amazing!!!

Not only was it a lot of fun but I got to go with people I love!!!

Its always better and a hundred times more fun to go with people that one loves.

I ATE SO MUCH! I feel so guilty and terrible but oh gosh was everything amazing! FUNNEL CAKE!  STEAK ON A STICK! ALLIGATOR ON A STICK. EVERYTHING ON A STICK!!!!

31st Bucket List

So I just realized that I haven't done my yearly bucket list, so here it goes in no particular order:

1. Will marry the love of my life! The person I adore, love admire, respect and can't live without. He is my blessing and I will promise this year to be his FOREVER, to always be true and faithful and to do my best to make him happy and make sure our love continues to grow.
2. Will enjoy my last Christmas as a single lady, it's a bit sad to think that it is my last Christmas living at home. At this time, I am experiencing many emotions and most of them are happy happiness like I have never experienced before, but a small part of me is a tiny bit melancholic. It's weird to think I won't see my mom every day nor my grandparents,  nor my aunt, not even my little puppy Suki. I am not complaining living with the man I love will be amazing but part of me will miss the old days. 
3. Make sure to give the love of my life a freakin fantastic Birthday!!!!!!
4. Finish my teaching certification, pass the exams
5. Get a job as a teacher!
6. Read 50 books in one year. Overly ambitious but will try!
7. Attend Little brothers March ceremony.
8. Attend little brothers Wedding !!!!  I will get a new sister!!!
9. Attend little brothers and my brand new sister's Graduation!
10. Go on a mini moon!!!
11. Go on an amazing Honeymoon and getting my love his first stamp on his passport!
12. Continue to write on blog!
13. Get an apartment with the love of my life! Make it OUR home!
14. Get a puppy! Adoption!
15. Stop drinking coke
16. Stop chewing gum
17. Stop eating sweets
18. Stop biting nails
19. Be healthier (doctor visits, vaccinations, eating better, exercise more, etc)
20. Win the lottery!

For now lets leave it at 22... I want to leave room for surprises this year!

31st Bring It ON

Yesterday was my birthday!

I feel incredibly blessed. The day was perfect. During the morning I received a lot of phone calls, and messages and singing telegrams from all my friends and family.

In the afternoon my family and my fiancé took me to enjoy a delicious dinner at Buca Di Beppo. It was so much fun, the only person missing was my little brother and his fiancé but oh well I guess they will have to come celebrate me laters. It was an amazing meal, we ate, took beautiful pictures, enjoyed in upbeat conversations and just enjoyed ourselves together.

After the meal my honey took me on a shopping spree!!! He ended up buying me a bunch of things: two purses, an iPad case, a strawberry soap, and a purse holder. He is spoiling me rotten! I keep telling him he doesn't have to but he just keeps on pampering me! But the best gift he got me was a handwritten letter. Those are my kryptonite! He is so honest and true, and romantic that my poor heart doesn't stand a chance, it just keeps falling even deeper in love with him, and it is the absolute best things he can do for me. His sincere and loving words fill my love tank all the way!!!!

Then we went to his parents house, his sister and parents had gifts for me too. They are the sweetest! I told them it wasn't necessary but they insisted! amazingly kind!

So that was my last B-day as a single lady, next year I will be a married lady! So excited!!!!

Stressful November

So This is going to be a very busy month.

I am a bit worried!

Excited but worried.

It just feels very overwhelming.

I start the Online Teacher Certification this week and I am terrified!

I haven't studied, or done any sort of school since collage and that was back in 2010!

Also have a pretty big interview this week and I am so nervous because I really want the job! It has benefits and a 401K and its a Monday through Friday thing and that would be awesome because I can totally use the weekends for wedding planning.

Also this week is my birthday and I haven't even had time to begin making my new bucket list. And I haven't even began planning how I want to celebrate the big 31st!

I guess If I am being perfectly honest, all I want is:

a) A nice family breakfast, it's strange to think its my last birthday as a single lady. By next year I will have a handsome hubby, a new last name and a new zip code.

b) A day out with the fiancé! Maybe a picnic, just us. Then maybe convince him to accompany me to mass

c) End the day having some friends over to the house for some drinks

Well I have 5 days to plan all of this, wish me luck.

Also in a totally less important issue  I borrowed a book and I forgot I had borrowed it and now I need to return it by Wednesday! Can I finish it?... We shall see!

Colors? Themes?

So my fiancé and I had chosen our colors Navy Blue! I thought it would all go smoothly after choosing the colors.
I was really excited to get the ball running on this, but it has turned out to be harder than I thought.

We haven't been able to decide on the centerpieces.

Yesterday he told me we haven't picked our wedding theme. I was like what? And he proceeded to explain that we haven't decided our "wedding theme" and a friend of his mentioned this being important. I was a bit confused by this because I thought navy blue was all we needed. Apparently it's not. It turns out your colors need to work according to a theme.

Yes there are some people that go overboard and have big Harry Potter, starwars or lord of the rings  theme weddings. But for those of us less adventures we have a bit more simple themes.

I say simple but they are still really elaborated!

We have rustic, vintage, classic, modern, bohemian etc etc etc

So I took a quiz because apparently I have no idea how to pick a theme.
The quiz was simple and at the end it said my theme should be CLASSIC

WHAT THE HELL DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?

I feel so overwhelmed and lost, have weddings always been this complicated?

Why are they so complicated?!

So now I am knees deep in Pinterest and I still have no idea what our theme should be!
Anyways I am falling down the the rabit hole filled with centerpieces, flowers, linens etcetera!!!!

Any advise?

November!!!!!!!

This is my month!

Yes I am one of those super annoying people who claims an entire month as her own.

AND I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK

I love my B-month!

I like celebrating big time and making all sort f celebrations with friend family and even on my own!

I love the celebration of the month I was born.

Ok I swear I am not entirely narcissistic I just really like to celebrate life, and B-days are the biggest celebration of all!

Another year is an opening for a zillion possibilities! 

RIP:Dead Series

I found a show on HULU called Bunheads. It apparently came out years ago and it was from the same writers as the Gilmore Girls series. I began watching it and was immediately hooked! The story is unique, fun and the characters are amazing, complex and you instantly fall involve with every single one of them. 

The big disappointment came when I reached the end of the series only to discover that it wasn't picked up for a second season. This broke my heart! I don't understand how a series of this quality was canned.

Another add on to the long list of dead tv series I grew to love.
