It feels so good to be back!!

Happy Monday, beauties - I hope your weekend was beyond stellar and oh-so-relaxing. Hubs and I sort of putzed around the house, saw friends, nested a bit (I'm obsessed!), and just enjoyed being together and our new home.

You would be so proud of me, be-tee-dub... I took SO many photos to document.

The problem?

I can't find my camera cord to save my life.
BUT, I have SO many great things coming atcha this week, so stay tuned, okay?

If it's your first time stopping by for Mingle Monday, let me just extend a warm and fuzzy welcome your way. I hope you find lots of great new blogs to keep up with and followers to boot! For my Mingle veterans, thanks for being here and for being you.

Mingle Monday Blog Hop!

Welcome to Wedding Week, my friends!
And yes, "Wedding Week" deserves caps, because it's a miracle we made it to see this week. As you can probably guess, I've been running around tying up the loose ends and making sure all i ready to go.

Y'all, Adam is a total rock star.
As are my parents and his parents.

We are just so blessed to have such wonderful helpful families to lend a hand (and help us maintain our sanity). More about crazy wedding shenanigans later...

Let's mingle!

Beyond THRILLED that you thought it was worthwhile to stop in, spread the word, and link-up with some of the blogosphere's finest. You're the best!

Link-up and enjoy, friends!

Mingle Monday Blog Hop!

Happy Monday to all of you!
After the blizzard tore through Kansas City on Thursday and left 15 inches, I'm coming off of a 4 day weekend - yahoo! And just in case we didn't get enough snow, we're expecting blizzard #2 to dump about 11 inches on the ground by the end of tomorrow.

I think it's safe to say there will be snow on the ground for our big day - ha!

Anyway, my Monday is off to a hellacious start already. And I am still a tad under the weather. Thank goodness I will be *hopefully* getting an almost guaranteed snow day tomorrow, which simple means more Downton Abbey marathons! ;)


Link-up and enjoy, friends!

The day sure got away from me...
Sorry I'm so late to post Mingle Monday, but very happy you still want to link up!

I've been in the doctor's office and resting. I've come down with some kind of weird viral infection that simply makes me sounds like a man. Or a teenage boy going through puberty.

...sexy...

Anywho, super glad you're here and I hope you will pass on the word!
