The first three weekends of this month have been dedicated to getting Brad and Kolina happily married.
The first weekend was Brad’s bachelor party hosted by my hubby. Brad and Ben went to Elyria to party with the usual crew while Kolina and I stayed in Findlay. On Saturday, Kolina and I drove up to Toledo to a huge mall for shopping. We were mainly browsing but also had some wedding things to look for. There were some AMAZING sales going on and I definitely bought more than I meant to. But, I definitely love the Pink Sugar hair perfume and Urban Decay Eye Primer I bought from Sephora. I don’t know how I managed before! My eyeshadow is always fresh looking and my hair always smells great! We also did some craft projects like making signs for the ceremony and reception and putting ribbons on bubble bottles.
The second weekend was Kolina’s bachelorette party up in Michigan. Let’s just say the night of the party was interesting and I was dumped head-first into Brad’s family. The rest of the weekend went smoothly though and I got to know the other bridesmaids. More wedding things were checked off the checklist. All that remained was the wedding!!!!
The third weekend was the wedding. Ben and I had a fantastic suite with a king sized bed and a jacuzzi. After a long day of pictures and talking, Ben and I REALLY loved relaxing in the hot water of the jacuzzi. We definitely almost fell asleep…
The day was beautiful and everything went smoothly. Plus, we got to take home a lot of leftover cupcakes from the reception. Score!
As soon as Ben and I got back to Findlay from Michigan, I repacked and went to Bay Village to help mom with VBS. The theme was about bees so my name was Honey Bee. Of course, I became a rockstar to the kids and one of the girls gave me my first silly band! It was a lot of fun and took a lot of energy.
This past weekend was spent helping spruce up my mom-in-law’s house. Ben and I have been working there every spare weekend (*which obviously hasn’t been for a month*). I’ve been painting and developed a knack for staining. I sort of enjoy it and think it is therapeutic.
This coming weekend is the Fourth of July!!!! Ben and I are booked solid all weekend. I can’t wait! Also, I get to see Emma in the first time in a year or so!
I plan on making some red, white, and blue cupcakes and will post pictures if they come out pretty.
Currently, my loves include baking and making pixel portraits. (*I am working on one for my sis-in-law at the moment*) Perhaps I should post some pixel pix too…
