The girls at Elizabeth Anne Designs posted this adorable wedding today and it may be the most adorable, comfortable, fun for everyone wedding I’ve ever seen. Hop over there and take a look!
As this blog sort of evolves into less of a wedding blog and becomes a mixture of everything I feel like sharing (with wedding stuff still mixed in), I thought I’d share some things about myself. Some of the readers here know me and some are just my blog land friends. Some of you may just stop in and never leave a comment so I never knew you were here. Feel free to comment so I know who’s reading out there! Anyway… some random things about me.
1.We live in Columbia, South Carolina. My husband grew up here and left for college and went somewhere else for law school, but came back to Columbia to work.
2. I am from Louisiana and we moved to Indiana when I was in the 8th grade. I moved back to Louisiana for college and ended up in South Carolina for grad school. Go Gamecocks!
3. My folks live in Dallas now and my brother is in Louisiana. Both really fun places to visit as often as I can.
4. We now have two dogs, Boudreaux and Fiona.
5. I love projects. Wedding planning was so much fun and it was definitely sad when it was over. Marriage is fantastic, but I’m always looking for a new project.
6. Most/all of my friends live out of state. My college and grad school friends are scattered throughout the country– in lots of fun places to visit.
7. I love music and am known to randomly burst into song. I like to sing and dance to my dogs– only to cause them to bark and jump around– likely begging me to stop.
8. I plan events for a living. Not elaborate, creative events. Fundraisers and ceremonial type events. That’s why I loved the wedding and get so into creating inspiration boards. I’ve gotta get that creative energy out.
9. I love Lost, American Idol, Jon and Kate Plus 8 (even though there seems to be so much controversy going on right now), and Project Runway
Comment with one thing random thing about you so I know you’re reading!
This is a fabulous resource for brides and those interested in weddings in general. They asked for reviews from real brides, so you know that the reviews are real! What a great idea!
Fiona is doing great in our house. I love her so much already! I mentioned before that my cousin, John, bought Fiona to breed her. He loved her, of course, but she was also a mommy. When we adopted her I knew that we would have her spayed as soon as we could or as soon as we could afford it. The first week we had her, I took her to get all of her shots and told the vet that I wanted to wait until August to spay her. She asked me when Fiona’s last heat cycle was and I told her that I had no idea. I’d only had her two days. She informed me that dogs go into heat a few times a year. I just figured there was no way that she’d go into heat in July. We’d make it to August!
Isn’t that ridiculous looking? My biggest concern was making sure she didn’t tee-tee in the diaper. And she did. A few times. She ran outside behind me one time and squatted in the grass and totally forgot she was still wearing the diaper. Sad. We were taking the diaper off every time we took her outside and putting the diaper back on every time she came back in. After three days we felt like the three weeks had passed us a long time ago. Each day felt like a week.
The other issue was that the girl wanted some lovin’ and she was going to Boudreaux to get it. She would lick his ears and try and seduce him. When I was in Atlanta, Todd called to tell me that Boudreaux had finally succumb to Fiona’s seduction and he was reacting. Thank goodness one of these dogs was fixed. The whole thing was really a disgusting nightmare.
I called our beloved vet and asked her if there was any way that she could be spayed before the heat cycle was finished. She said that it opened up the doors for more complications, but that it could be done and she would take care of little Fi. We were there on Monday.
A week has passed and things are back to normal. Boudreaux can relax, Fiona can relax, and most importantly, Todd and I can relax. They’re back to wrestling and nipping at each other at all hours of the day. Normal dog behavior. Fiona gets her stitches out on Friday morning.
Here’s a shot of Boudreaux at the peak of his torture. His yellow devil eyes show his happiness for all that’s going on around him. A new dog in the house. Wearing a diaper. Putting the moves on him.
