I'm Back!!!

It's been awhile since I have been on here!! Things have been crazy around the Lambert household.. yes the LAMBERT household! :) 

So the last time I was on here, it was before our wedding happened!! Our wedding was BEAUTIFUL and I am so thankful for all of those who helped with the wedding and came to celebrate with us! I will forever remember that day as one of my favorites!! We went on our honeymoon to Costa Rica for a week and it was even more beautiful! Lounging at the pool, drinking, eating like kings, going to shows every night, meeting other great couples, going on adventures... shall I continue?? Let's just say it was amazing and we didn't want to come home!! 

When we got back, I started my new job as a middle school math teacher! Talk about a different world that I am still adjusting to!! I love all of the people that I work with though--they are awesome!!

AND... we are FINALLY closing on our house Friday!!! We are over the top excited to finally have this process over with! Let me tell you, buying a HUD home is something else!! So many things that needed to be done with paperwork but we are finally at the end of this long process!

I will post pictures tomorrow for #WeddingWednesday 

Wedding Wednesday

Wedding Hair: I have narrowed it down to these four hair styles for the wedding! It is easy and flowy. My hair isn't super long and I don't really want to get extensions. Which one do you think is best?

Wedding Wednesday

I had my first bridal shower a couple weeks ago!! Here are a few of the big gifts that we were hoping for that we got!! :) 

We have another shower next saturday but instead of just girls, it is a couples shower! I'm super excited for that one!! More gifts to come!!

GLAM SERIES: HAIR

GLAM SERIES: HAIR

So one of the most important details about the wedding... HAIR!! I have NO clue what I want to do with my hair yet!! I have to do a test run when I go in town next (Which will be in June for my shower!) My hair hasnt grown that fast so it isnt as long as I was hoping it would be! :( I want to have it down I think!! But then I see certain updos (like the ones below) and then I think those look super cute!! What to do, what to do!?? Any opinions??

Friday Five

Its FINALLY friday... to say that this week has been long would be an understatement. I am so stressed lately with everything that is going on--and add finals next week on top of it!! AHH!!  I am so ready to be back home with Blaze and my crazy animals..

One// I left for DFW last Saturday. I got alot of wedding stuff done... in between working all day, trying to see friends and a few other things. 

Two// I spray painted a TON of mason jars the other night... I think it got up in my nose because it smelt like spray paint forever!! 

Three// I had a facetime session with Blaze. While we were on the phone, I yelled Kimber's name and she kept looking at the phone like this! When I would stop saying her name, she would start whimpering!! She misses her mama!!

Four// My stepmom got ranger tickets from her work while I was in town (luckily)!! I got to take some great friends and had a great time even though they lost!! We were 8 rows behind home plate!!

Five// I FINALLY got to see my other half last night! I havent seen her since January!! We met up for dinner, stopped by the food truck park for a cupcake (and to see Blaze's mom) and then went to Chimy's for one marg!! Reminded us of our college days!! Miss this girl too much!!

Weekend Update

So this weekend feels like it flew by super fast!! 

Friday night, I went to watch Blaze and his team play. It was the longest baseball game ever... I ended up leaving early because the dang mosquitoes were SUPER bad!! They ended up winning though which was great!!

Saturday, I ended up leaving for DFW (instead of leaving Sunday like planned). I had to pack up really quick and leave. It only took me about 7 hours instead of 8 like normal!! I only stopped twice since I didnt have Blaze with me haha (he loves to stop alot on roadtrips)

Sunday (yesterday) I met up with my high school gals!! It was really nice to see them! It has been forever since Ive seen them but its nice because whenever we do get together, it's like nothing has changed!! We went and got lunch and sat out on the patio since the weather was amazing!! 

This week is going to be a crazy busy one!! I am SUPER excited to see all of my lovely ladies while Im here though!! Im so glad they only work today and tomorrow so I can see them the rest of the week! (in between working and doing wedding stuff)

I get to do cake tasting later this week and let me say how excited I am!! WOOHOO!  I am going to see the venue again I think on Wednesday to just walk around and talk decorations!! I also have to do a trial run with hair/makeup one day and also do a fitting with my wedding dress!!

Ill definitely take pictures for the wedding wednesday link up for next week!! 

Have a great week!!! :)

REHEARSAL DINNER

REHEARSAL DINNER

Ive been thinking alot about the rehearsal dinner lately!! Im getting excited to think that we have about 3 months to go. I really need to find outfits for all of these occasions coming up, especially for the rehearsal dinner! We are having ours at a restaurant in Burleson! It will be a casual/dressy attire, so the girls can wear cute dresses and the guys can wear whatever. Blaze is wearing starched jeans and a button down with his new fancy boots! I think it would be fun to wear a pretty white dress of some sort--white dresses are NOT easy to find that are cute though. Here are some of my favorites I have found!

Blaze's mom is hosting the rehearsal dinner but I came across some of these ideas on Pinterest (of course). Super cute/fun!!

1) A cute way to have the menu set out so everyone can see it!!

2) These are spiked lemonades in mason jars!! Can we say YUM??

3) Corn Hole (DIY) with the bride and groom's initials!! So cute!

4) Have everyone at rehearsal dinner sign a bottle of wine or champagne and open it on your first anniversary

5) Have everyone write down a memory of the bride or groom and then you read them on your honeymoon!!

Wedding Wednesday: Wedding Registry

Wedding Registry—this is something that every guy acts like they dread. Blaze was SO not excited about having to go register at BB&B awhile back. I felt like I had to drag him there, but once we were there, HE was the one that loved registering—I didn't like it! He went nuts with that scanning gun! I registered at Target later on by myself!! Here are some of my TOP choices that I am reaching when thinking that I will get some of them!! J

1. KitchenAid Mixer--I am DYING for one of these!! :) I could do so so much with one--and I love the green!! 

2. Nikon camera--(I cant remember which one I registered for). But this is a huge one I want. Not sure where we are going for the honeymoon but I love taking pictures! Then when babies come along, this would be great! :)

3. Dyson Vacuum-- We need a vacuum SO bad.. especially with two dogs. Luckily right now, we live in a house with no carpet, but sweeping gets old!

4. Knives-- We are in crucial need of a good set of knives. We only have steak knives right now, and let me tell you, it makes it super hard to cut anything OTHER than meat! 

5. Sheets-- our sheets are so old and worn out. I am SO looking forward to some great sheets! :)

6. Towels-- I love super soft, oversized towels. I bought us some about a year ago, but they are slowly getting worn out.

Thankfully, my WONDERFUL dad & stepmom bought us a super early wedding gift back in August. We seriously needed a good washer and dryer when we moved and they surprised us with a GREAT washer and dryer!! If you are in the market for a washer and dryer, look at these.. we LOVE them!! They are big enough to fit our comforter in them!! :)

Thought these were funny!! :)

Bachelorette On My Mind

So the bachelorette party is 108 days away and I am getting more and more excited about it!! My WONDERFUL MOH is planning everything and Im not sure of everything that will happen that weekend. We are going to Austin and staying in a cute house though, it will be neat to have all of us gals there in the same place for the weekend!! (There are a couple that can’t go that I really wish could come L but I understand!!) I have been trying to find cute dresses for that weekend—I am really wanting a cobalt blue dress! I have a few tank tops that color and I really love that color on me (I think because of the blonde hair/blue eyes thing I have going on haha). I REALLY like the sequin one… what do yall think??

Wedding Wednesday... I mean Thursday!

I usually do the link up with Nancy J but was super busy yesterday at work!! So here we go!

Smaller Details:

Everyone has been receiving our Save-The-Dates!! I made these all by myself so I am glad that people are really liking them! :)

At Hobby Lobby the other day, I found this beauty on clearance!! It is about 2 ft tall, and this will be our "guest book" for the reception!! Then we will be able to hang it on our future "L" wall!! 

My stepmom and I found a ton of these wooden frames at places like goodwill and other thrift stores a while back. I think she bought them for like .25-.50 CENTS! So we bought as many as we could find for the table numbers!! I started painting them last weekend!

Using acrylic paint in white, violet, and light blue!

I enjoyed myself while doing it by drinking wine! (Blaze was out of town)

This is what I am thinking of doing with them in the end!!

 This one is with burlap

This one has wooden letters that are painted white glued to the picture frame! 

FOUR MORE MONTHS!! WOOHOO!
