Making progress . . .

So this past week has been pretty busy for us, last Friday Matt and I got our engagement pictures taken. We did a lot of nature ones at Shawnee Mission Park & then went to the Plaza to get some urban shots. I can NOT WAIT until we get them! Our photographer is talented and amazing and soo much fun to work with, I have no worries about our wedding pictures now. We should get our cd of them in the mail in about three weeks and i'll post my faves!!

We also reserved our ceremony location this past Monday!! It will be at Elmwood Park Grotto in Omaha, and the ceremony will start at approximately 3 pm. Things are definitely starting to come along with the wedding plans. As each thing that I can cross off my wedding planning checklist, I can relax a little more so I can focus on the next thing that needs to be done. The next thing on the agenda is finding a band, florist, and baker for the cake.

Luckily it was set up for a wedding so we could envision how it would be!

Totally switching gears now, Matt tore up our 1/2 bath in our basement and stripped the ugly wallpaper out, so this weekend i'll be able to prime and paint it. The mirror that was in there is the perfect size for the room and vanity, but the color was hideous, so I decided to paint the frame. It looks completely different and I love it!! I love being creative and being able to express it in my home and accessories. I have all these good ideas but unfortunately I don't have the income right now to make my ideas and dreams a reality, but i'm making the most of what I have :). I can't wait until the bathroom is all put together, I just need to find some new hardware for hand towels then it is donezo!

Frame before, plus hideous wallpaper

After! Can't wait to see it hanging again after I finish painting the 1/2 bath!

That is all I have for now, when the 1/2 bath is finally completed I will post more pics of all our hard work!
