A home life

We headed off to Macy's and Crate and Barrel this weekend to begin the registering process. We spent some time adding things to MyRegistry.com as well. What a fabulous site that allows you to post items from a variety of stores!

Bless Brian for he was so patient on this shopping excursion. Many thanks to my mom and sister also who knew more of what we needed/ wanted than we did.

Here are some of my favorites!

Lady in white

This weekend I turned from just an engaged woman, to a bride when I said “yes” to my wedding dress! With my mother and sister at my side I picked out the most perfect dress to marry Brian in. It’s elegant and simple and fun all at the same time! 

Of course, I cannot go into any more detail because we all know the bride’s dress is meant to be a surprise. It is challenging though! I feel like a little kid just dying to tell my groom every detail. Every couple of hours I tell him a little bit more about the shopping experience hoping he'll ask questions but he is so good, he never pries. I’ll do my best not to spill the beans because the pictures and description don’t do it any justice. The way I feel in it, is what makes it perfect. The dress, much like Brian, makes me feel at ease, beautiful and complete. 

Jonesin' for campus

I am feeling a bit nostalgic this morning…to be honest it started on Monday afternoon and I haven’t been able to shake it. After leaving the movies on our day off, I asked Brian if we could drive through our Alma-mater. BIG mistake. Students walking to the old hangout dressed in Rowan garb brought tears to my eyes. Not sure if you’ve noticed, but it is also perfect back to school weather. The extra chill in the air each morning and the nonstop rain makes for the ideal weather to sit in a classroom in a Profs hoodie. Not to mention, I can’t even go food shopping without bumping into an assortment of school supplies calling my name. “Pleaseeee buy the 24 box of Crayola and the Mead journal." I don’t really need any of those things, but here is what I do need…

• GRE study guide. I need to get back to school to pursue a Master’s in Higher Education: Administrative. The MAT book filled with practice analogy tests has officially become a coffee table book and not a study guide. Time to try something else!
• Picnic at Rowan. This always makes me feel like I am a student again, even though I am not.
• Trip to the bookstore. Time to stock up on new college gear. I can pretend it's still appropriate to wear Sofee shorts and a t-shirt right?
