the ultimate cake off

I am sooo excited! Barb Sullivan, the sweet lady that made my wedding cake is going to be on TLC's the Ultimate Cake Off tonight at 8:00!!! This is def a must watch! They are having a big screening party at my home church tonight, and I really wish I could be there!




She did such an amazing job on my cake, I absolutely loved it!!! And after the wedding everyone kept telling me that it was the best cake they had ever eaten!


It was exactly what I envisioned!



I really hope she wins! She is just so talented!

A few weeks ago I got my hair cut short! I was really nervous about this because I have had long hair for years. It was a big change for me but I really love having short hair and Jake loves it too! He tells me everyday how much he loves it!

tutti frutti

We finally have a frozen yogurt place in Auburn! Yay! It's called Tutti Frutti and it is very similar to the Yogurt Mountain in Birmingham. I really loved Tutti Frutti, however, as I walked in I didn't get the overwhelming feeling of pure joy like I get when I walk in Yogurt Mountain. There weren't as many yogurt flavors and not nearly as many toppings to choose from and it cost a little bit more per ounce. But it was still really good! I filled my cup with every fruit flavor they had and topped it with fresh kiwi and gummy bears (my signature yogurt topping), and Jake got chocolate vanilla swirl with strawberry topping (boring). And the best part is, it is within walking distance from our apartment!

snow day

Narnia!



After we made the snowman we noticed that it looks just like John McCain!


And, of course, we made snow cream!

Snow Cream:
mix together
1/2 gallon of snow
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup milk (or enough milk for desired consistency)



You have to eat it quick because it melts really fast

my honeymoon

I love hospitality design so while we were on our honeymoon I had to take pics of the room. We went to Adventura Spa Palace in Riviera Maya, Mexico. We had an amazing time! We got to eat a lot and sleep a lot and just relax in the sun! I would definitely recommend an all-inclusive resort for honeymoons. Especially if the bride has been worried for months that she wouldn’t fit in her wedding dress.





It really was a beautiful place!








This actually happened a lot if we ever ate outside at a restaurant


I loved the hammock on our balcony, it was a very relaxing honeymoon

my writing therapy

I absolutely love to read design blogs so I thought why not start my own. I also have a weird phobia of writing so I’m hoping this will be therapy for me. I love interior design, event planning, flower arranging, painting, crafts, cake decorating, my friends, family, and my sweet husband Jake. So those will most likely be the topics of my blog posts. To start off post #1 I will just share some of my favorite pictures of Jake and me from our engagement shoot.
