Blog Background Attempt...

So, I need to stop, stop, STOP changing the background of this blog!  But there are sooooo many that I love!  I'm attempting, at the moment, to create my own background and header....we'll see how it goes.  You guys will have to let me know what you think...The background is supposed to look like this:

Like I said, we'll see how it goes... :)

Deliciousness in a glass!!

I discovered something wonderful tonight! There is a coffee shop in Fashion Place mall outside of Nordstrom. They make the most fabulous drink! I cannot for the life of me, remember the name. It's "Sun"....something. Sunkiss? Sunbeam? Something like that. But, I watched how they made it, and promptly came home to try and recreate it! I think I figured it out, and I also made a slight change for another version. It is as follows:


1 part orange juice
2 parts iced tea (regular or lemon)
A splash of raspberry flavoring (to taste)


It's a fruity summer drink...Mix and enjoy!! 


I also altered the iced tea ingredient for an "Arnold Palmer" (half ice tea and half lemonade) and, it was delectable as well! TTFN!

Wedding planning and such

The good news about dating for four years?? You kind of get an idea of what kind of wedding you want. Matt and I have talked about a lot of the details of the wedding before, and it's making this planning process awesome! Here's what's been decided:


Day: April 28, 2012
Ceremony: Snowbird, Summit Room (10th floor!!)
Reception: Snowbird, Golden Cliff
Colors: Teal and Green (still working on the shade of green, hehe) Ivory, and Black
Dress: Chosen, but shhh, can't tell!! ;)


We have a photographer lined up, the food chosen, we've registered...I think that's it so far. :) We didn't get any pictures from the engagement night (I KNOW, I know....kicking myself for that one.), but here are some from the next day.  We took the car over to my friend Michelle's house so her husband, Travis, could take it for a spin! It was so fun to watch Matt and Travis "ooo" and "ahhh" over the car, like little kids in a candy store! Michelle and I smiled and nodded. ;)

Ah, I love this guy....so much!

My beee-U-tiful ring!!
