Things are Coming Along!

Planning for my wedding is finally coming along! Along with receiving info for the resort on what options we get for the ceremony & reception, last week my mom and I went shopping Half of Half and found her Mother of the Bride dress for the wedding!!After trying on a few different dresses, this one we both agreed looked the best on her and it's perfect for a beach wedding.

Also, Kawon & his groomsmen met up last Sunday to pick out and buy their suits for the wedding. They had the option to pick from these two looks and chose to go with the bottom one. Most suits stores they visited however, haven't received their summer looks in yet and only had a small selection of light colored suits to chose from. So now they have to wait until mid March to purchase them. : (

Kawon also ordered his shoes for the wedding and now we're just waiting for them to be delivered.

Last week, I also received the envelopes I had ordered online  and made a quick trip to Michael's to pick up some more card stock for our wedding invitations! Now, I just have to decide on a font and get started!

Still to do on the list....a ton of stuff, but I can breath a little easier knowing that some progress has  been made. 

I Have to Stop Worrying and Plan This Wedding

When it comes to planning our wedding, I think I've hit a wall. According to my to-do list, by now I should have a host of things done but in all actuality I haven't done much. The wedding is exactly 4 months from today and that's only 120 days from now! Eekk!

Yes, there's less to do when planning a destination wedding, but there's still things to be done and I've been seriously slacking. Decisions...decisions and when it comes to planning my own wedding I am no good at making decisions. And to be honest I finally admitted this week that one reason I'm having such a hard time making decisions when it comes to the wedding is because I'm so worried about whatever else is gonna think. Why? I have no idea! It's my wedding, right? Why should I care what anyone else thinks, but I do. And I need to get over it pronto!

Last Saturday, I met up with my Matron of Honor, Maid of Honor and mom to go over the details of my bridal shower & bachelorette party and now I feel a little better about those events. This week I also emailed the wedding coordinator at the resort to request info on decor, flowers and menu choices and got some information packets back to go over so that I can have an idea of what I want. Whew!

Tomorrow I plan on ordering some card stock that I plan on using for our DIY invitations (that I should have bought a few weeks back) so that I can finally start that project. And I'll continue the search for bridesmaid dresses as well. Kawon and his groomsmen are going shopping on Sunday for their attire, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that everything turns out okay and they find everything they need.

Throwback Thursday

Here's a short trailer of Kawon & I's first trip to Las Vegas back in February of 2011. I've recorded tons of videos throughout our relationship and now that I've figured out how to work iMovie, I'll post a few new ones every now and then!

Enjoy!

Twenty Thirteen

I was so incred­i­bly blessed in 2012 and I'm looking forward to making lots of new mem­o­ries in this next year!

There's so much in store for 2013 for our family and I can't wait to see what the next 12 months will bring! 2013 will be a busy year and I pray that God allows me to see it through.

To celebrate 2012 coming to a end and welcome the new year Kawon and I went to the San Francisco Rose to celebrate. Kawon was working the karaoke that night and since Kameron was with his grandmother for the evening I didn't want to stay at home alone so I ventured out too. Totally not planning on going out at all that evening I didn't have a NYE outfit picked out and I missed the memo on the black & white attire. Oops!

Here's a glimpse of our night. (Photos courtesy of the The Rose)

We started the year off with a lazy day on the couch and no traditional New Years day food but we were together and that's all that matters.

Here's to 2013!

Christmas Around Our Home

We put up our tree and other Christmas decorations a few weeks ago and finally wrapped presents this past weekend. Finally, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at the Team Jenkins household.

Here's a peek!

Happy Holidays!!

Lately...

Let's face it, not much is going with the wedding planning these days. And since this blog is about real life, personal style and stuff that's kinda funny sometimes I'm gonna go off topic and tell ya what my life has looked like lately.

I celebrated my 33rd birthday a few weeks ago and met up with a few friends at Top Golf in Allen. If you've never been, you need to go! And try the chocolate chip cookies, they're THE best! (Thanks Allison!)

Nicole, Me & Allison

Made a new friend on my birthday and when I went to hang out with her the next day she brought me flowers as a belated birthday gift.

Thanks Nicole!

Continued the birthday celebrations and partied it up at the Gentleman Jack Arts, Beats & Lyric event here in Dallas last Thursday !

I hung with Miss Kelsey! Can you believe she's 7 months old already?? Time flies.

Showed my support for my future mister while he DJ'ed a block party last Friday for the City of Dallas.

He's doing big thangs y'all!!

Kawon took Kameron on his first fishing trip at White Rock Lake last Sunday while I worked.
