I should really follow directions..

lol. So I officially suck at following directions! It's not like I'm a rebel or anything.. My attention just varies.

For example, here I am..bright and early, sitting in the college library on a Friday morning. Now before you get any ideas.. I am not THAT good of a student. I simply suck at following directions. I take a Friday morning English class that usually begins at nine am. Today, however, we were supposed to meet in the library at 9:30..or so I thought. WRONG!We were supposed to meet in the classroom at 9:30 to walk to the library at 10.

Mind you, I'm all for a good walk.. but by the time I made it back to the classroom, all the way across campus, they'd already be walking here. Then I went online (half of our class is done online) to check and see what she really said.. and sure enough, Sam does not follow complete directions. I saw meet/library/ 9:30. When it really said "We will meet in the class at nine thirty and then walk over to the library".

Ugh, I could seriously get myself in trouble.Another example lol is a few weekends ago I was driving my drunk friend home, I was sober thank you. And we were downtown and I had missed my turn, so at the next turn I made a left hand turn. My friend freaks out because there was a cop who saw me.. I was like so what? I can turn. She was like no the sign said NO turns. I was like shut up?! really?!? I thought it said no u-turns lol. And so the cop followed us to the freeway, without pulling me over, thankfully.

The next day I go back to that turn to see if she was right or not.. sure enough the drunk girl, who had to get driven home, paid more attention to the sign that I did!!!!

I suck :)Just thought I'd let you guys know how blonde your friend Sam really is :)How's you week going? How's the diet(s) going?I will post on all that later..

I have to call my photographer for our second engagement session.. cause it is supposed to rain.. in CALIFORNIA, in MAY! Goodness, bad enough I had to deal with stupid Swine Flu this week, and now my session maybe canceled. Stupid CA.

E-Pics Up!

SNEAK PEAK: Thanks to my fantabulous best friend, she helped me to sneak these from the photographers website for now.. more to come :)

Damask...

Damask!!!!

I've never heard of it before.. well like I've seen it, but didn't know it had a specific name?! and I saw this picture.. and fell in love with it! So we have now changed out colors to green, black, and ivory (we took out the brown). And we are putting elegant, subtle hints of this bad boy in our reception!

What do you guys think? Any ideas to incorporate it??
<3

E-Pics!

They were sooo much fun! This was only our first set, and it was hot as hades (90 degrees), but it was a blast!!! We started off at this warehouse building downtown.. it was sort of a rustic feel. I loved it. I love photography, so I'm totally into everything creative. Like we did our traditional poses, but I liked to spice it up a bit! Then, we went downtown some more.. down by the delta water. It was of course gorgeous, who doesn't love water? We did some poses with the water in the background, on the rocks, etc. While we were by the water, we also went to this grassy area.. it was pretty wierd, but I think the pictures turned out pretty cool. And then my favorite spot was the railroad track!!!! It was fun! Scary.. cause it's a working track.. but Thank God a train didn't come by while we were there.. just before and after! But some of the poses were perfect. The were romantic, sexy, fun, all at the same time!! I am so excited to get them back. Of course, I'll post it when they're back! Oh, and did I mention, the sunset was setting for half of it.. Gorgeous! So excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now on to the next shoot :)

**This isn't us.. yet! but similar to what we did!**

E-Shoots!

So my first set of engagement photos are going to be taken on Sunday!!! I am so excited! My photographer that we're meeting with is a little pricey, but it will be fun. We won this free shoot at a bridal fair we went to last month! There will be more shoots to come! But this is our first really fun wedding thing we've done, so we're excited!

We're going to stay in my hometown for this one. One of the shoots are going to be by an old building, to get some creative, young shots. The second will be downtown by the water and railroad tracks! I'm excited to see what kind of creative ideas she comes up with. I love photography and love like a photo-journalistic style of photography.. so I'm juiced!

Before Sunday I have to dye my hair, pick out 2 outifits and shoes, and be ready! Not to mention I work everyday until then.. so this should be interesting!! lol. What do you wear? I was thinking jeans with a black top and a white top.. I have to find a cute white top. I know that sounds boring.. but I don't know what else to do?! I may get my make up done professionally too :)
And I realized I haven't been leaving you any picture love.. so here are some cute shots I googled!

Crazy!

There's four months until my wedding and I have
a venue (which was half the battle..) and food and invitations. and that's it!!
Mom picked out the cake, but we have yet to taste it and order it.
I have tons of photographer options.. but haven't settled on one yet!
We have our first engagement photo session this Sunday (Which I'm totally stoked for!! and speaking of which.. what should I wear?? What did you ladies wear for yours??)
My dress is purchased but not at all done.. My nonni is adding jewels and things to it!
The bridesmaid dresses are picked out and sized, but not ordered yet!!!
I'm still stressing like we're missing tons, and of course my mom doesn't help the situation much!! She's a little worry wort! lol
What am I missing?!? What should I do next?!! I'm really not freaking out about this..... but I just need some advice. We've never done a wedding (obviously) so we're a little new to this... and you all are pros :)

Thanks ladies!!
