A Piece is Missing

Well that time of the year has come around again...Hunting Season- the thing that consumes my fiancé for the next 3 months in Colorado and then the next 3 Months once he gets home! Times before I was in College Station, but Not this year! I am the ranch! Good thing I have a few things to keep me busy....okay a few BIG things! Planning this wee little thing in April and DIY home projects!! My family is also visiting me the next 2 wkends, and then Aggie Football, & possibly Nashville! So great things to come! Annnd I get to watch all the reality tv I want!!!:) I hope to get most of the wedding knocked out as well...that is the plan at least! Luckily, I have my little fur friends to keep me company when I don't have visitors! They are so fun!!!! We have little Nelson who is almost a month old, Lilly, Ol' Sammy, & my 2 main men Rock & Coup!!:) without them I'd be super lonely!!

Wedding on my Mind, Wedding All the Time!

Okay okay....first wedding blog since I have been engaged...well first about my wedding!! :)So the title may be a tad of a lie..it isnt on my mind ALL the time!but it was on my mind a lot...until I did the smartest move yet and hired Wendy with Birds of a Feather Events! I could not be more excited! She planned my sisters

wedding and she is down right amazing! I went drove up to Fort Worth this weekend and my MOH-Brandi, my mom, & I met with her Saturday and it is amazing how she can take my ideas and blend them all together and go perfect! I cannot wait for this day because I know she is going to make it perfect! She is pretty awesome! I already feel soo much stress relief from just one meeting!!

We then went on with our afternoon of bridesmaid dress shopping & just shopping and catching up on laughs and enjoying a mid day cocktail and drink! It was such a good weekend! We all had a blast! The search continues for that perfect bridesmaid dress... although I found ones I like, but not the "one"! (I have since found a few that I love online!) Anyone who knows me, knows that I dont like to do anything normal...I have to be unigue...and different...in a classy stylish way of course!! I do not want anything of mine to be like any one else's and this too includes my wedding! :) I know when I find that dress it is going to be scchhhaaawwweeeet and my Beautiful bridesmaids will totally rock it! :) They will be the hottest bridal party on the block...no but really they will! They are all gorgeous!I could stick them in a toga and they would rock it- although I will not do that to them!:)

Now on to my next task to get done ASAP...STD (Save the Dates) This is a fun, yet tough decision! We took engagements a few weeks ago with our photographers, Summer & Kim of K2 Photography, and they turned out simply amazing!! We love all of them so much! They truly captured us as a couple, and our animals- who most know are our lives! :) Now we have to choose one for STD, not an easy task! & with a slow internet it makes even a harder task while trying to creating different ones! ahahaha! But we have almost come to a decision!

Here are just a few that weren't on facebook from our engagement session!

This last picture means a lot to me. That is Showbox's bridle. It means a lot to me and nothing could ever replace it. I was so happy to have put it on Coup for this special session...and to feel as though Showbox was a part of it with me. He was a big part of my life.


Can't wait for this big day! I wish it would hurry, but I KNOW it is going to fly by!

My Boys!

Meet my boys! Josh and my main man Rocky washing Zippy (Rockafeller,Rock,Little Boy-all refer to this awesome of a boxer dog!)

And Sampson & Coupers



These two make my complete as well! Sampson keeps us laughing- he has quite the personality. Although it may not always be pleasant!! Coup is my big boy, who thinks he is a dog! He is funny and I am so lucky to have the privilege of owning him!



Then we have Rocky boy!!! Tight running with him and Josh! Haha JK! I could not live without either of these two! When one is gone, I have the other! Rocky has literally been with me since the day Josh bought him for me (minus a few grandparent visits and auntie visits). He along with Coup were my rock while in College Station. Rocky went with me everywhere and turned out to be such an obedient and smart dog! I just love him!! Josh is pretty attached too and likes to claim that he is his, but I quickly remind him he was a gift to me!:) we love intact the ranch! And to Rocky it is a play day everyday!

Love my family!!:) they make it complete and perfect!

Shoes are a Girls Best Friend

I love me some shoes! Of course, like any girl! I love boots, flats, sandals, wedges, &heels....well I guess that is about every type of shoe out there!! Every time I get the urge to shop shoes are always the first item I navigate too!(Maybe because this is the one item you always know your size and doesn't make you feel fat!) Second would have to be jeans, closely followed by accessories!:)

Living in Kerrville has made it hard to find some fun shopping being that it tends to have more "retired" people. Along with being in a retired town, places are also only open 9-5 and may be open on weekends. Makes it hard for a 8-5 working girl to try out any shops I've "heard" about! Well being that I have a bad a** job that does cool events I got the opportunity to go to a new place called Passion for Fashion Monday! We are having a "fashion 'show" for the ladies at the club and this is the store we will be showcasing AND I get to be a model for a day! Anyways this store has cute stuff! Now mind you, it def has more "retired"lady things, BUT it does have cute shoes, jewelry, and some cute clothes! This is my best bet for now!!! I already went back and bought these fabulous shoes!! They felt the perfect match to my upbeat personality and fun style!:)

"God Gave Me You"

If you have not heard this song! Then do yourself a favor and download it NOW! I love love love Miranda Lambert and being that she is now married to the wonderful Blake Shelton I have grown to love him also! His music is wonderful and he just released his new CD Red River Blue!

Anyways "God Gave Me You" is one of the songs on this album. It is not his own, he remade the single and it is amazing. For anyone who is in a relationship the words can really hit home & even for some make sense of it all and gain a new strength in your relationship.

Being that I am in the early stages of planning my wedding this song gives me confidence and happiness!I know that God brought me Josh for a reason & I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with him. Sure we have been together for 7 years, but we have GROWN so much in these 7 years. That is what life is about- going through these changes with the one you love. Everything isn't always going to be happy & go lucky, there will be tough times but the coolest thing is you have someone to go through those times with you!! This song is to remember when things may get rocky for you & your significant other, remember god brought them into your life and it is a blessing!

I’ve been a walking heartache
I’ve made a mess of me
The person that I’ve been lately
Ain’t who I wanna be

But you stay here right beside me
Watch as the storm goes through
And I need you

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

There’s more here than what were seeing
A divine conspiracy
That you, an angel lovely
Could somehow fall for me
You’ll always be love’s great martyr
Ill be the flattered fool
And I need you
Blake Shelton God Gave Me You lyrics found on

God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you

On my own I’m only
Half of what I could be
I can’t do without you
We are stitched together
And what love has tethered
I pray we never undo

[God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
God gave me you for the ups and downs
God gave me you for the days of doubt
For when I think I’ve lost my way
There are no words here left to say, it’s true
God gave me you, gave me you
Gave me you

Beerita

Coolest drink ever! Have you ever tried one? I have seen multiple pictures but had never been to a place that served them or I did not know how to order them. Well I'll still don't know how to order them unless they are on menus, BUT I do know a place that serves them! Joe's Crab Shack! And man was it delish!!!!!:) this one had corona and it was pretty hard to argue with!!! I've heard On the Border has them so maybe I will try one in CS this weekend!!!!:) Hopefully they will be more reasonable than this guy. And a bigger beer bottle:)

"Eye" See Change

So being that I like change, I am constantly changing my hair, makeup, nails! & whatever else I can always do to be different because I get bored with the same thing!!

Hair- I always go for different colors and or styles! Through this I have come to the realization I wish I could do more things with my hair now that it is long. Should be easy right? Well, for some reason I am not too creative, or I have these ideas but cant seem to carry them out on myself! boo! All I have is the curl, straight, and side pony tail! I see all of these messy hairstyles that look so awesome, and I have yet to get it down. But I am still trying! Hopefully I will conquer some of these styles I am going for.

I also love love love makeup! I love to do different things! I get inspirations from pictures and often try and duplicate them! Even if it doesn't come out perfect you still get a cool final product! :) I have hazel eyes, so the colors needed to make those pop are purples with gray, & warm shimery shades of bronze, gold! I always try different ways to do eyeliner also. Thick on top and nothing on bottom, thin on top and thin on bottom all the way across, thick on top & just on lower eye lid to outside....there are a ton of different ways! :) If you are anything like me I have problems with my eyeliner staying on my bottom eye. I have tried so many different kinds of eyeliner and have found this little one that I love!

It stays on all day and love the definition!:) Here are a few photos of different eye makeups that are a must try! :)
