I think I could get use to being a beach bum

I just got home from such a nice trip.  You know what I did all weekend?...

I sat at the beach!!!  That's it.  It was amazing!  

We went Saturday, and back for more on Sunday!

I got a wee bit of a sun burn on my face, but, it was worth it.  

I even got in a wetsuit and got in the water.  {nope, didn't get a picture}

But it was great!  I swam with DOLPHINS!!!

Well, they were pretty close, I'm counting it as swimming with them!

A seal did pop up right next to us!  Kinda scared me, I'm not gonna lie.

Seal = Shark! lol!

Lilly had sooo much fun!  She totally swam in the ocean!

And then rolled in the sand like a crazy dog!

She's a nut!

It really was a great time!  and so relaxing! Even the loooong drive home wasn't bad.

See, long! { I may have shaved off about and hour though}

Plus, Lilly does make for a pretty cute road companion, which doesn't hurt at all!

 Now I'm back home, counting down the days I get to go back!

It's my Friday!

I am taking a four day weekend and heading down to SoCal!

I'm so excited! I'm going to hit the beach and whatever else tickles my fancy! 
But, tonight I have to clean and pack... not so fun.  I'm an over-packer, so it's quite the process. Any great packing tips?

The Bridal Shower

Hey guess what?...
I didn't drop off the face of the earth!!!
My computer was down for a while, but I'm back on it now!
Remember me giving a snippet of my cousins bridal shower, and promising more?
Well, here it is!  A few snap shots of a really fun day!

Me and my beautiful cousin Chelsea! I love her!

I LOVED how everything turned out!  It was fun, whimsical and fabulous!

Some of our random table decor.  I love that nothing 'matches' but all works together.

 We had flowers everywhere!  It was awesome, these are my favorite! LOVE 

Did I mention we had enough sweets to leave you comatose for a week?!

The favors turned out pretty cute as well. Those were the tiniest pots ever!  It was hard to find flowers small enough, but we did. (some we pulled from my aunt's yard}

 I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think my 'wedding dress' chair turned out pretty darn cute!

and you know what?...I completely winged it!  LOL!

I made her this apron.  It screams Chelsea!!!  Bright, peace signs, ruffles... it's all there!

I seriously had so much fun putting all this together.  Yes, it was a lot of work, but fun work.

Hmmm, maybe I should have been a party planner...
