Pickin' Wild Flowers...

On our drive back home Sunday afternoon B and I decided to pull over and pick these beauties. We didn't steal them they where growing wild in a ditch! haha I love the simple things about Spring!!!

Playing in the dirt!

Over the weekend B and I planted strawberries, tomatoes, basil, chives, and primrose. This is the first time we have even attempted to grow anything so I’m very excited and hoping they grow! Earlier Saturday morning we researched how to grow plants from seeds and which plants grow better in pots verses in flower beds. Hopefully we will be successful and have strawberries to eat in a few months!!!

This is a picture of the primrose. Isn't it beautiful?
What are your favorite things to grow? Do you have any special tricks or secrets for growing healthy plants??

True Friendships

Now that I'm getting married it's very easy for me to see how I WASN'T a good friend during my BFF's wedding last year. Ahh.... I hate this.
Over the weekend we were talking about the wedding budget and how to cut money. She suggested that we have a pot-luck or ask my bridesmaids mothers to cook a dish to bring to the rehearsal dinner. When she was getting married last year she also suggested that they may have a potluck rehearsal dinner for her wedding. I judged her BIG TIME and I couldn't believe she would dare have a potluck! I couldn't help but think how "redneck" that is and how unthoughtful! I'm such a BITCH!!! Why in the world would I judge her about that? I should have realized her budget situation and supported her. I should have wanted her to have a stress free event. The rehearsal dinner should have been the last thing she should be worrying about. Although, I never said anything to her I just gossiped and judged. Now, I'm nothing but appreciative of how thoughtful she is being. She also suggested doing very small bridal party gifts and even not doing them at all. Can you believe how thoughtful this is? Uhh... I hate that I would have NEVER said that to her. I couldn't believe it, someone who is spending so much money and dedicating so much time wanted nothing in return. I have been an terrible friend. No doubt, We have our issues... but that's TRUE friendship!
I am so blessed to have such amazing people and friends in my life. I don't have a lot of family and especially people who care about the wedding so my friends are my EVERYTHING. People always say "you are lucky to have 1 true friend in a life time." I must be VERY lucky because I have at least 4 or 5. Which, there has been times when I haven't treated all of them fair either. I'm just so appreciative of everyone who is doing so much to help make my wedding day run smooth. I'm a little emotional today, if you can't tell.
So needless-to-day, my new goal is to be less of a bitch, to be more supportive of my friends, to be less selfish, to no longer judge, and to no longer gossip!

To a new beginning, a new me, and to true friendships!

Ribbon Wreaths

I'm so excited about the DIY project I will be doing this weekend. I am making ribbon wreaths to put on the outside of the doors of the church and on the doors of the receptions venue. I found these ard I thought they were WAY cute! This is such a easy and cheap way to add a little color to the room. I'll post pictures once I'm done :)

My Basketball Baby

B had an amazing coaching opportunity to take his team to the state championship. However, they did lose 2 games before the championship it was still a wonderful opportunity. The games were held at Rupp Arena (where UK plays.) We were able to walk around under and behind the court and we had passes to enter the hospitality room, which is HUGE. We saw and talked with several big name coaches there and even Joe B. Hall!!!


This is at Diddle Arena (WKU Basketball) where the team won the regional championship which allowed the to play at RUPP


The team warming up before the first game. B texting me to see where I am hahah!!!


Standing so proudly on the RUPP court.

Besides all this basketball excitement I'm also so relived it's over! We have SOO much wedding stuff to do that we haven't been able to get anything done, especially during tournament time. Remember girls, this is my first full year living with a basketball coach! Who knew the time it took?

I'm on a hairpiece kick you guys! I think these are just adorable. Something as small and a decorative bobby pin can take your outfit to the next level. Most of these I found at Forever21 for less then $2 or $3
