Getting to know me: 10 facts

1: I got married April 24, 2010 after a 2 year, 2 week engagement lol
2: The first year has NOT been hard. I love being his "wife"...I find myself really optomistic for the future.
3: I'm on the path of perfection, invisalign, lasik, law school, I'm trying to make it all happen!
4: I sleep with my eyes opened (i know, i know, I'm a freak).
5: I'm a reality show addict, all the housewives, flipping out, million dollar listing, Kardashians,etc
6: I'm allergic and afraid of cats.
7: I dont like asking for things, confrontation, people eating off my plate without asking, or people in my personal space.
8: Big believer in being yourself. I dont do facades. This is me love it, or like it a whole lot :)
9: I fear childbirth, which is why there are no plans in the near future to have babies. I'm such a woose :(.
10: I am all natural, no contacts, no acrylic, no hair dye, I'm 100% ;)

Life after Wedding...3 months later

I am so bad at this...you will not believe how many unfinished diaries I have because, much like an ex-boyfriend, once I leave I'm not coming back. But this relation ship has been a good one, so I'll give it a try. It's just hard, after so long catching back up...where do I even start!? So lets do it through baby steps. Hi :) I'm still the future Mrs. D even though I'm married. Its a constant discussion but frankly, I'm not crazy about what "D" stands for and dont see the need in changing my name. He knows I'm his wife, I know, the world knows...so what's the big deal. As a compromise I though, when we finally have kids, to not cause confusion and not have to explain how mami doesnt like papi's name...I'll do it then lol...and even still I'd want to hyphenate lol

So with introductions out of the way lets take a quick but detailed trip off from the wedding to our nest :)

after all that hard work :)

More of the Pre-Shower Bridal Shoot

I don't even know what to do with all these great photos with out looking vain! They're way too cool for a simple album but framing them all seems a bit much....maybe just one as wall to wall wall paper! lol But which one!? Hope you enjoy viewing as much as I enjoyed taking!

More Bridal Shower Shots

Seeing this is almost as fun as experiencing it! If you followed my journey from the beginning, I was debating between yellow and green for the wedding. Green won because I couldn't find the right yellow...but my friends brought that dream to life in my shower. I love bright colors!!

And in these pictures you see why!

How can you be anything but HAPPY when in an atmosphere such as this one :)
Many more to come! As I get them from the photographer I'll share them with you!

Arriving at the shower:

It's all about the details:

Elephants bring you money and friends bring you love :)

Name Dropping

I've already told you guys how happy I've been since finding Busy Vee or Busy Vee Creative Pursuits, but I think after such a great wedding shower, it's that time again!

So here's the run down off all the things this lady has done for our wedding!

1. Helped us find our venue

2. Designed and assembled out invitations

3. Planned and executed our shower and shower invitations

4. Handmade and designed our shower decor and favors

5. Designed all paper goods for wedding such as programs and signage

6. As well as going above and beyond in a wedding shower photo shoot

While yes, you can find a friend or mom to help you with these things it helps to have a professional bring new life to your ideas. It went from eloping and using Target wedding invitations to this!!! And I could not be happier. I am beyond amazed and excited with how everything has turned out this far.
