Enjoy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.comBlogger24125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938854469696330412.post-46150313214632408872012-06-29T20:32:00.001-07:002012-06-29T21:24:17.052-07:00And I'm Back!I have certainly neglected my blog and updating all of you on the happenings of our life for far too long! I credit this long overdue update to Clare, who told me that our fresh start in San Diego is the perfect opportunity for a fresh start on the blog and I couldn't agree more. <br />
<br />
Mike and I are adjusting to life in San Diego the best we know how. I was unprepared for how huge of a life change this would be; it's been so exciting and terrifying all at the same time. And if moving isn't enough for us, we're also trying to catch up on all of the wedding planning we missed out on in the past couple of months. It's crazy how fast September is coming!! At this point we're just trying to refocus our efforts as a team and start knocking some wedding to-dos off the list.<br />
<br />
And at this point I truly need to thank all of our family friends for your love, support, help, and guidance through all of this. With out you guys, I'd be an even bigger mess than I already am! :)<br />
<br />
Here's some photos to catch you up on our past month!<br />

On November 28, 1994 my dad legally adopted my sister and I. My mom, dad, sister, and myself went to the City of Flagstaff Court House and made it official. We spent the day celebrating, playing games, and there was a great party for us at my Grandma Geri and Grandpa Dennis' home. You've all heard me talk about how much my mom means to me and how she still impacts my life today, but I have yet to tell you what an amazing father I have. So to mark seventeen years with the best father a girl could ask for, I give you this blog post of bragging and a very small glimpse down memory lane.<br />

I always tell people that my mom was my best friend and for the last few years I've had the honor of telling people that my dad is my best friend. I truly mean this from the bottom of my heart. He has had just as much of an impact on who I am today as my mom did. He is the person I call when I need advice or to have life put back into perspective, the person I can joke and laugh with, the person I can confide in, the person who calls me out when I need it, the person who pushes me to be better and do better and who will catch me if I fall short, and he's a great shopping partner. For all these reasons and many more, I am so happy that he is the man I get to call "dad."<br />

I recently had the amazing experience of shopping for my wedding dress, that alone is an experience of a life time, but I had the extra addition of shopping with my dad. I have to tell you, this guy has an eye for fashion and wedding dress shopping was no exception! I did a ton of research before our shopping trip so I could make appointments at the boutiques that had the most potential for finding a dress. The first place we went to was <a href="http://www.destinysbride.com/">Destiny's Bride</a> (I know, cheesy name) and this place was beautiful!! The bridal consultant was so sweet and she really paid attention to what I was looking for and loved. My dad pulled a dress that was totally different from what I ever imagined wearing and I was pretty leery of his taste until I got the dress on. Turns out I loved the shape of the dress and what it did for my figure, so it was a great start for dad.<br />

It also turns out that we're pretty efficient at shopping, we clocked our dress shopping at the first boutique in just 45 minutes! Needless to say, we had plenty of time before our next appointment so the obvious thing for us to do was head to Salty Senoritas for a margarita. :) Our next stop was <a href="http://www.demetriosbride.com/">Demetrios</a>. In the spirit of honesty, I'm shocked that this place was even across the street from Scottsdale Fashion Square. While my bridal consultant was a nice girl, I didn't really enjoy myself or the dresses. My dad and I found the place exhausting and quite frankly the quality of the dresses just weren't there. We did however find a completely different style of dress that made us excited. We were done at that place in under forty minutes, so we decided to break for lunch before our next boutique (this was the one I was most excited for). <br />
<br />
Our next stop was <a href="http://www.marieegallery.com/">Mariee</a> and I can't say enough good things about it. It's owned and run by this adorable English couple and Carrie was my bridal consultant. This place is absolutely gorgeous inside, Carrie starts off by walking you through the various designers, telling you about them, the time frame for receiving your dress, and the price point for that particular designer. After she is finished she gives you six blue clips and you walk around clipping the dresses you would like to try on. She only brings in one dress at a time and she joins you in the dressing room to help you in and out of the dresses (something that neither of the other places did) and I was glad that she wasn't the least bit bashful when it came to this. I felt like I was having the dress experience that every girl is suppose to have; I wasn't rushed, there weren't tons of other girls, it was an incredibly special experience. We tried on several dresses and narrowed it down to two. My dad played his cards well with the last two, one was my pick the other his. He had me try mine on for a second time first and I was still in love with it and then I tried his on for a second time last and I saw what he was seeing. It was the perfect combination of the two dress styles we loved from earlier in the day and it was incredible what it did for my figure! All I can say is that it's completely surreal when you pick your dress. I felt like I was watching myself from across the room when I said, "Yes!" Actually, I think my exact wording was, "Cool, " I know, not cool at all. But like I said, you have no idea what that feeling of picking a dress is like until you do it or what your reaction will be! So I found my dress and even though I had told dad months ago that I wanted to pay for my dress, he insisted. Let's just say we had a very special moment when we finally found the dress and we were more than ready for a drink and food! My only teaser for the dress is the designer, <a href="http://martinaliana.com/">Martina Liana</a>, you can see which dress I picked at our wedding.<br />

The next day we met my best friend and Maid of Honor, Julia for breakfast at <a href="http://www.thefarmatsouthmountain.com/">The Farm at South Mountain</a> to eat at the Morning Glory Cafe. This place is amazing and a hidden gem! After some light shopping it was time to end one amazing weekend. <br />

The Year of the "Kids" is what I'm calling this Thanksgiving, it was the first one I've celebrated without parents and I think we held our own! This year it was just Mike, Mark, Rachel, and myself (Rachel did invite a couple of her friends over, which was great because we had a ton of food and we were more than happy to share!). Mike and I made breakfast for the four of us and we have a new favorite breakfast recipe.</div>

We had such a great time together and it made me that much more excited for Christmas and having a full house of the people that we love! Can't wait to have you all in Flagstaff for another year together!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938854469696330412.post-91208893786457965222011-11-22T14:28:00.001-07:002011-11-22T15:11:53.982-07:00Puerto VallartaI've definitely fallen behind on my blog duties and this one is way over due! Mike and I recently had the honor of shooting a wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and it was absolutely beautiful! The bride and groom were so kind and we had a blast working with them. We had some extra time to stay in Puerto Vallarta and it was one of the most relaxing experiences of my life! I've always dreamed of an ocean side vacation like this and the trip totally lived up to my expectations. We stayed at <a href="http://rzablancaresort.com/">Garza Blanca Resort</a> and I absolutely recommend this resort! The people were so nice, the nachos were to die for, and the view wasn't too bad either. Mike and I only left the resort for the wedding ceremony, the rest of the time we took it easy by the pool. And I finally got to finish the book, <u>The Help</u>, which stole my heart, totally obsessed and if you haven't read it yet, you absolutely need to! There's not much to share from the trip other than we drank, we ate, we were totally lazy in the sun, and we had a blast! Here are some photos from our trip!<br />

Mike and I realized on our way to the airport that this is the first time we've ever flown together. We were a great team navigating the airports and customs!</div>

But I did want to share my latest addiction with you guys! Our photographer told me about her love for the website <a href="http://pinterest.com/">pinterest.com</a> and I have been suckered in BIG time. It's great for organizing ideas, recipes, etc. and has become a huge help with wedding stuff. <br />
So if you go to <a href="http://pinterest.com/taraon">pinterest.com/taraon</a> you can see all of my boards, just click on one of them and you'll be able to see the images I've pinned. This way you guys can see some of the ideas that we'll adding to our day, flowers I'm thinking of using, hairstyles I'm thinking of, and even some of the dresses that I'm considering when I start shopping next month! :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938854469696330412.post-59994936338312077222011-10-04T15:09:00.000-07:002011-12-01T17:10:11.391-07:00Soon to be...I know some of you saw these photos on Facebook, but for the family and friends who are not on there, here you go!<br />
I first have to tell you a bit about the shoot. Mike and I were meeting Alix at a gas station so we didn't get lost, so we arrived early to make our smores for the shoot with Mike's camp stove. We were both pretty nervous since we've never been on the end of someone else's camera together. Alix took us way up Provo Canyon, which is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. On our way up to the original place Alix had in mind for our shoot, this tiny little nook caught her eye and it was the first location we shot at. Let me tell you, this girl has one crazy, creative eye. We had so much fun talking about photography with her and she was so fun to be around. Mike and I joke about how crazy we must have looked with a car full of props, but being that far away from home we wanted to be prepared and we really wanted to pull out all the stops with our ideas since this was our first shoot being the models. At one point we shot in the middle of the road, which was funny because every time we would sit down and get comfortable, a vehicle would come down the road and we'd have to stand up and then do it all again. So we had a good laugh over that and Alix was such a trooper hiking up and down hill sides with us! The last spot Alix took us to was this beautiful field and that's where we did our "camping" scene. I've been so impatient waiting for our photos, but the wait was totally worth it. I knew I would love our photos because Alix's work is always beautiful, but I was so blown away by our photos (I know, I'm partial.). I can't say enough about what a wonderful experience it was to work with her or how much she has inspired us in our photography. I am truly honored to have her shoot our wedding and I can't wait to share the day with her and all of you!<br />

The day I get to marry my best friend and become Mrs. Bielecki! So yes, we have a date and we are now officially under the one year mark. I just hope it doesn't go by too quickly! Mike and I decided to celebrate our one year out from our wedding date by going out to the spot he proposed, also the future spot of our wedding ceremony and reception to have what else, but a picnic. So in honor of our day we took a few pictures to share with our friends and family so you guys could celebrate with us!<br />

So we did a loop of sorts, heading to Colorado first and then up to the Salt Lake City area for our engagement shoot. <div>
Our first night we stayed just outside of Durango, at the Purgatory ski area. This place is amazing, it was like an outdoor playground for adults. The next day we headed to Crestone, where Tessa and Connie live. Every visit with them is memorable and wonderful, and this visit was nothing short of that! </div>

The next day we were really hoping the clouds would part so we could see if it snowed on the peaks, we were in luck! It was so beautiful when they did part and it was so special to be there for the first dusting of snow.<br />

That night we checked out Tessa's new hermitage, which is out of this world beautiful! And then we had dinner at Father Dave's house. It was a fun evening of drinks, food, and conversation. I couldn't find the photo we all took together from this night and it breaks my heart. So I will tell you guys that Mike and I asked Connie to officiate our service and Tessa and Father Dave to say a reading or a blessing at our ceremony. We are so excited to have these three play such an intimate role in our day, as they mean so much to us!</div>

Ok, I don't have very many photos from Utah and I truly think it was the nerves of our engagement shoot that got to me, so I'll fill in a few of the blanks. We stayed in Park City, which is one cool ski town. When we drove in, we went through Provo Canyon and the views are breathtaking. We met with our photographer, <a href="http://alixannlooslephotography.com/">Alix</a>, for lunch in downtown Salt Lake City at a restaurant called <a href="http://thetinangel.com/">Tin Angel</a>. If you're ever in the Salt Lake City area, this place was delicious! It was great to meet her before our shoot and for us to all get to know one another just a little. I'll save more about this for the engagement photo post, but let me just say that I absolutely adore her!<br />
That night we went to dinner at the Wasatch Brewery in the main part of Park City. Mike had gotten a jalapeno beer and let's just say he was not a fan of the tingling lips the beer caused! :)<br />

Mike and I had a late brunch the next day because we knew we'd have a long drive to our engagement shoot and wouldn't get back until well after dinner. After brunch we stumbled on the Park Silly Sunday Market. It was full of local artists, clothing and jewelry makers, food, and live music. This is where I discovered this adorable band, <a href="http://thefolkadots.com/">The Folka Dots</a>. After they sang their first song, I was hooked and had to grab a cd to add to our road trip rotation. </div>

The morning after our shoot we were up early and headed to Arches National Park. On our way out of town, we stopped at a restaurant called Magleby's that a childhood friend of mine recommended. So again, if you're ever in the Orem area, this was one of the best breakfast burritos I've ever had!<br />

It's a welcomed break from the craziness, but it also means that I seem to have lost a little bit of my gusto for the wedding. We've had several friends get engaged since Mike and I got engaged in May and we're so excited for each and every one of them and we can't wait to see their exchange of vows, but we had a big engagement this weekend in our lives! Mike's brother, Joe, proposed to the love of his life, Sarah, and my heart is so happy for those two! :) To bring us back full circle, Joe and Sarah's engagement reinvigorated me! It made me remember to let go of the craziness around us, the opinions, and most importantly, for me to stop comparing my wedding day to the rest of the worlds'! I never thought I would get that way, but it's amazing what a roller coaster ride this process can be.<br />
<div>
So with my original wedding mentality back in place and my confidence restored, I was online today looking for some inspiration for our day and I couldn't have found a better wedding to share with you guys! If I have not yet told you guys (or you don't know about) <a href="http://greenweddingshoes.com/">Green Wedding Shoes</a> blog site, then you must check it out! It is my absolute favorite wedding blog site and I have truly become addicted to it! :) From there I stumbled onto a photographer's blog and the second wedding I looked at sparked my excitement all over again. I first I have to tell you guys that being a photographer and going to weddings is amazing for inspiration, there's always an idea or two you want to tuck away in your memory for your own wedding day. This is the first wedding I've seen that I couldn't pick one or two things out that I loved, in fact, it's funny how many props we already have in common with this couple for our own day. What I love most about it, is that it's incredibly similar to what I envision my wedding day looking like.</div>
<div>
I thought this would be the perfect wedding to share with you guys because when I tell people that I want a "country chic" look to my day, most people give me this look of, "What on earth does that mean?!" So here's what I mean and I hope it maybe gives you some inspiration too! </div>

This was truly a labor of love and I felt the need to really show the process!<div><br />
</div><div>A few months ago Mike and I noticed an old desk sitting in front of our neighbor's yard for bulk trash pick up and needless to say, we saw some major potential. This old desk sat in our back yard for a couple of months before we got around to fixing it up. The legs were broken and the knobs were old and didn't really attach any more. So we tossed the knobs and Mike fixed the legs! This is the first time in my life that the saying, "One man's trash is another man's treasure," has really applied to my life. So why the random desk?! I feel this need to sew a lot of my own details for our wedding, from napkins to tablecloths to some details I'd like to keep secret! So I decided that this will A) be a fantastic desk to use for a sewing table and B) be of great use as our pie table at our wedding.</div><div><br />

We have our photographer and reception site set! I know everyone is wondering about the date, but I would hate to spoil our Save the Dates, so you're just going to have to be patient. :) Until then, I would love to first introduce you to our photographer. I know the first question asked by all of our friends and family was, "Who is going to shoot your wedding?" I am so excited to introduce you all to Alixann Loosle. She is from Orem, Utah and I have not had the pleasure of speaking with her yet, but I can tell you through Mike's correspondence with her, I am too excited to meet her! She has put up with all of our silly, dorky photography questions and has been nothing but sweet thus far. Feel free to to a look at her blog and fall head over heels in love with her photography! :)<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">As you'll see from her blog, her photos are so soft and they have this vintage flair to them that I love!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">As for the reception site, I know some of you saw this photo on facebook, but I have to share it on here too!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Photos just don't do this place justice! Even the inside architecture looks like a castle! I know we've thrown some people off with this style of site, but I ensure you guys we are sticking to the country chic theme! :) For those of you not planning a wedding in Flagstaff I need to share with you that there are not many places in Flagstaff for a wedding reception, and more than that there's not much room to really make a wedding your own. Which is how I came to find this vacation home.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been doing a considerable amount of research trying to find a vacation home rental for our wedding for some time now. My thought process has always been, "How great would it be if we could have a backyard feel to our wedding with an amazing home/yard? And how great would it be if our families could stay with us?" This place is too perfect! It sleeps 12 people, has a huge kitchen for us to all cook and hangout together, and the back lawn takes you to a set of stairs that lead down to the lake the house is sitting on. I can't wait to show you guys this place in person and more importantly, I can't wait to spend time with you guys here!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>Alright friends, it's time to start some wedding blogging and I am so excited to start sharing some of the details with you! I thought I'd start with the first item I got for my wedding and what I think is really the inspiration and basis for our theme and how simple I would like things to be. Oh, and the theme? Country Chic. :)<br />
<br />
About a year after my mom passed away, we finally went through the items that she had left for us. She had put a pearl necklace into an envelope, but the best part of opening that envelope was seeing her hand writing on a letter she had written. Summing it up, she was incredibly proud of me and would love for me to wear my Great Grandma Brown's pearls on my wedding day. I've always loved the simplicity and classiness that pearls bring to a wardrobe. So I decided right then in there that my wedding would be the same. Simple and classy. This is what we, and you as our friends and family, get to look forward to on our wedding day.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Here are the pearls, I love the way they've weathered into this beautiful color.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1cU5QX4EzYSAupXBx6G-fx83UZvXOUM2RGKd_2prx8LP9auhzcpleebdgVoCMjqWmctvPvkJX-0KMxLdk_oAve6TuXdFFBergc8bjACV-YfifQPIIlYLFehjK19EwJgt4hOT9ZUCXiw/s1600/PEARLS+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgr1cU5QX4EzYSAupXBx6G-fx83UZvXOUM2RGKd_2prx8LP9auhzcpleebdgVoCMjqWmctvPvkJX-0KMxLdk_oAve6TuXdFFBergc8bjACV-YfifQPIIlYLFehjK19EwJgt4hOT9ZUCXiw/s320/PEARLS+1.jpg" width="213" /></a></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The other item I've had for quite awhile are my shoes. I've always been on the look out for a pair of flats that had just enough flair to them for my wedding day. I've always known that I wouldn't last more than five minutes in a pair of heels and I want to be totally comfortable on the big day. I came across this particular pair when I was browsing in Nordstrom and instantly fell in love and had to get them. I've had them for the past year or so (I know, totally crazy! But I knew this day would come and I also know that when I fall in love with something it's for a reason!) and I still love to pull them out of the box and look at them!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This year was different, my birthday definitely pulled a sneak attack on me! Mike kept asking me what I wanted to do and what I wanted for a gift. All I could tell him was I wanted to have a nice dinner and wear a dress and that I wanted nothing since he's given me the biggest gift of all this year, an engagement ring. What more could a girl really need?!<br />
<br />
We were suppose to go to sushi for my birthday, but Mike informed me that those were no longer the plans and that I'd have to wait to find out where we were going. So we got a little dressed up!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">What's in Winslow you ask? Not much! But there is this beautiful hotel called La Pasada. At one time it was a train stop/hotel and the train still goes right by it on the backside. This place is so rich with history and has the prettiest gardens! At this hotel is a restaurant called The Turquoise Room. One word: Yum! All of the meat on the menu is free range, antibiotic free, and local. And it's all delicious! We showed up an hour early so we could have a cocktail hour. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid32a8SZogbY5ySpcl3mWXdQ5yjfu5TzVS8EMS-I3Wwpq6BajA1HhQbVnQWGeX6wqPVRGlLwSAZnIwBfJWevFJaCZ3ge_w2jFDwzV8jcu6VpdVygocFHnHzaSbKvjrCyDpPpB0Ms4tQHY/s1600/IMG_0611+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid32a8SZogbY5ySpcl3mWXdQ5yjfu5TzVS8EMS-I3Wwpq6BajA1HhQbVnQWGeX6wqPVRGlLwSAZnIwBfJWevFJaCZ3ge_w2jFDwzV8jcu6VpdVygocFHnHzaSbKvjrCyDpPpB0Ms4tQHY/s320/IMG_0611+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Then we were off to dinner! I've been breaking my vegetarian-ism lately for a couple of reasons: 1. My body has definitely been craving the meat. 2. As long as the meat is local, free range, and antibiotic free I'm in! So with that said, I had the Pork Carnitas. Let me just say the meat literally melted in your mouth. I've never had meat so tender in my life! Mike had a local cut of some type of steak that he loved. But the real kicker to any dinner here is the Signature Soup! Half of the bowl is this slightly spicy black bean soup and the other half tastes like cream of corn. It's like eating cornbread with chili. Plus I love the presentation of it!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmkeMkRXQceb5Ex7IULcYTMRqTJy4AkwXk-Wzu-Fezt34wcU2kEx-lO771OrFKmH9NaqyUVO5sRSSbVQsvp7IGl2WRv9jqOl-TvxbmyNYKDKNZp-gdI86k0CBsfw3aigJdnITCLFprSc/s1600/IMG_0617+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqmkeMkRXQceb5Ex7IULcYTMRqTJy4AkwXk-Wzu-Fezt34wcU2kEx-lO771OrFKmH9NaqyUVO5sRSSbVQsvp7IGl2WRv9jqOl-TvxbmyNYKDKNZp-gdI86k0CBsfw3aigJdnITCLFprSc/s320/IMG_0617+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

Road trips are one of my absolute favorite things we do together. I can't really explain what it is that I love, between the conversations, singing at the top of our lungs, scenery, it's just too hard to pick one favorite thing! We stayed in downtown San Diego, next to Petco Park and one block away from the Gaslamp District. We had such a great time visiting with friends, eating lots and lots of food, checking out the city and beaches, and of course there was always.....GLEE LIVE! :)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Within our first couple of hours in San Diego, we were greeted by these two lovely ladies.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmddfzHdlTqcZinnTs64N4n6zHbgES2yCq76gPip2qwGAPHJ_-MI0sfVQhO8tdEkVJZoi7XyBARTdCxHsJuibgqK6LRL0TaozSnGHPRDtuWVmA7twWR992RdaZfCGGPcllbYZPLwaUX8k/s1600/IMG_0523+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmddfzHdlTqcZinnTs64N4n6zHbgES2yCq76gPip2qwGAPHJ_-MI0sfVQhO8tdEkVJZoi7XyBARTdCxHsJuibgqK6LRL0TaozSnGHPRDtuWVmA7twWR992RdaZfCGGPcllbYZPLwaUX8k/s320/IMG_0523+%25282%2529.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>I can't believe this was only my second time meeting Sarah, this girl has a way of instantly making you feel comfortable and I seriously feel like I've known her all along. This was our first time meeting Jessica, her sister, and it was really like meeting a member of the family! Thank you two for making time for us in your trip, we loved the conversation and laughs!<br />
So, when we're saying our 'goodbyes' to Sarah and Jessica, Sarah asks if we had champagne waiting in the room. Which we didn't, and I think nothing more of it while we take the elevator up to the room.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">And this is what was waiting for us when we returned back to our room:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3BToEMtQaD3sTU-qHLH6qGf_5wh1b9j7MNSuG9W-u5KJvO2QNnqO6JoPrzmnNhOE3-o-WihneU5xHBoj0Xw53VCkOc2B56VdpC3VNA0Lpo1w0XpD-pZsTI4Aphp6JJ_1gHWrmYXT2SSU/s1600/IMG_0526+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj3BToEMtQaD3sTU-qHLH6qGf_5wh1b9j7MNSuG9W-u5KJvO2QNnqO6JoPrzmnNhOE3-o-WihneU5xHBoj0Xw53VCkOc2B56VdpC3VNA0Lpo1w0XpD-pZsTI4Aphp6JJ_1gHWrmYXT2SSU/s320/IMG_0526+%25282%2529.JPG" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">How cool!!

My heart is so overwhelmed and bursting with love! Today I was even told I was radiating love. :) I can't hide my excitement or emotion over the fact that my best friend has chosen me to spend the rest of his life with. Honored is the only place I know to start.<div>Our day was absolutely perfect and it was such a wonderful display of who we are and what our love is about. Little did I know, Mike had actually planned on proposing the weekend before, but work kept me from an afternoon in the forest with him. I had no idea what I was really missing out on! So we planned on making it up this past weekend. Mike had already planned a picnic just north of the Peaks in a place that has meant a lot to me the past several years, and it's actually the place I plan to have our wedding ceremony. I knew we were going to do one of our yearly photo shoots so getting ready and bringing a camera wasn't anything out of the ordinary for us. When we got out to the aspen grove Mike had forgotten the tripod for the camera and had to go back to the car. As he was walking away he told me, "And don't look in the cooler." My first thought was, "Oh right, because there's going to be a ring box sitting right on top!" So I assumed he must have packed one heck of a picnic and is set on it being a surprise. So I got to work on finding the perfect shaded area for our picnic. </div><div><br />

Right before Mike turned the camera back on, I had actually started talking about how much him and my dad mean to me. I was telling him how they are the two most important people in my life, I go to them first with all of my successes and when I need a shoulder to cry on. I think the thing that makes me love the two of them is how accepting they have always been of me. I'm truly a lucky girl! While giving my monologue to Mike, he had gotten up and turned the camera back on. Again, I still had no idea. Even when he sat back down and started to tell me how much he loved me. I've had a few people laugh when I tell them this next: I really didn't expect anything big when Mike started to tell my how much he loves me. This is something we say to each other on a daily basis. There hasn't been a day that's gone by where we haven't expressed just how much we love each other. Saying this aloud to people has just been another confirmation of what a truly special relationship we have. Back to the story....I'm a little fuzzy from here on out with what Mike said because as he was telling me how much I mean to him, I noticed he was staring down at his hands. When I looked down I saw he was holding the ring and I'll let the following pictures explain.</div><div><br />

I was in a bit of a funk when the day started and I'm always amazed at the power of the outdoors, and how refreshingly wonderful Mike is in the little ways. We headed down Lake Mary Road, towards Marshall Lake, found a place to park and then we started our snowshoeing adventure. It was a beautiful day and I'm more grateful for our snow storm now more than ever.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Needless to say, this day did a lot for the soul and it was yet again a fantastic reminder of how wonderful my life is and what an absolutely lucky girl I am!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8938854469696330412.post-45028166154446491742011-02-15T16:16:00.000-07:002011-02-15T16:16:12.915-07:00Celebrating LifeAs many of you know, February 14th is a difficult day for my family. And it's been a few years since that date has meant "Valentines Day." I usually spend that day locked up in our house going through the motions of grief, but this year I felt was a year of acceptance and peace. So, I told Mike I wanted to spend the weekend outdoors and with friends, doing what we do best...celebrating life. One phone call to our favorite friends, Jordan and Julia, and we were set! Here's some of the pictures from our weekend.<div><br />
</div><div>Mike and I went down on Saturday afternoon while Jordan and Julia were still at work to do a hike to Submarine Rock. This hike was really cool because it paralleled the jeep trail and we got to see some of their thwomping skills, including a downhill trail called Devil's Staircase that Mike and Mark have done in Mark's jeep. All I can say about that jeep trail, is it takes a load of courage and a great off-road vehicle! The views were amazing from the top of Submarine Rock, which Mike and I just scrambled up the side of. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

We eat there almost every time we're in Sedona now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The next morning, Julia and I headed to the store to get some items for breakfast and Jordan and I left the cooking to her and Mike.

At some point last year I fell in love with the idea of tea parties - I just love the dresses, the hats, and most of all, I love the the different teacups. I got this great idea to start buying up fantastic mix-matched plates at any and every thrift or antique store I came across. Since our wedding will be outdoors and I want it to have this classic, country feel to it, I fell in love with the idea of every person having a different plate that I've handpicked. The extra bonus is I can use them for dinner parties, etc. to give some character to the table setting. So here are just a few of the plates I've had the luck of finding! Enjoy!<br />

Everyone came to our house this year and what an honor and what a blast it was! For the record, I loved each member of Mike's family from the moment I met them. They are one of the warmest and funniest families I know. But this year was different from the past two holidays I've spent with them...it was the best! For the first time, I felt like I was 100% a part of this family and I have to say I have the best siblings ever. Here are some of the pictures of our fun-filled holiday together. Enjoy!<br />

Mike has been such a trooper with all of my decorating purchases and I'm so thankful to have someone who understands my need for such decorating. <br />
<br />
Like so many of you, I have so many wonderful memories of the traditions that once existed in my family. I say once existed because after my mom's death everything changed and so did the traditions. While I'm embracing the new traditions, especially the ones I've made with Mike's family and my dad, my heart always craves Mom's Traditions.<br />
<br />
At one point in my teens my mom decided that there was no more real Christmas tree and that all of the old ornaments and decorations were going into storage to make way for a brand new artificial tree and shiny new ornaments and decorations. I didn't understand it at first, I felt like she was taking away everything that had ever been sacred to us in years past. Now that I'm older, I not only totally understand, but I now intend to carry this tradition. Growing up, everything in our house during the Christmas season was silver, white, and gold. We had a whole set of decorations that came out to replace the everyday decor for just that short period of time. There was something magical about it. And so the new traditions started. <br />
<br />
This is the perfect time to share with you one of my favorite memories of my mom: After she got sick, she had to sit out the Christmas tree decorating because she couldn't stand long enough, let alone sit. So she'd lay on the couch and we'd position her so she could watch us. She would have us lay all of the ornaments out on the carpet and we'd pick them up one by one and she would direct us to the exact place she wanted it on the tree. Sounds like it was the perfect situation, but I would always tease her about her "exact specifications" the following morning. Why? Every year after decorating the tree, you would wake the next morning to find multiple ornaments rearranged. She would always tell me that when she couldn't sleep at night, she would start thinking about the tree and second guessing where she had us put certain ones. So in an effort to make the tree perfect, she would drag herself out of bed in the middle of the night like a little elf, and move ornaments. I always smile when I think of this memory and how I once thought her to be out of her mind.<br />
<br />
Now I find myself in her shoes with that exact need for holiday perfection. So I'd love to share with you guys my first year of making those traditions, and my own, come true!<br />
<br />
I chose our holiday colors last year and that was kind of the start to making Christmas our own. Everything you'll see is white, silver, and a soft purple color. So let's start with the mantel!<br />
<br />
My mom always had reindeer figurines up during the holiday, so when I saw these stocking holders, my heart just melted!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've been reading a lot of really great blogs and articles online about thinking outside of the box for the holidays and ways to save money while making your house look amazing! So with that in mind, I fell into a trap at Michaels one day and found these awesome picture holders, but thought they'd look awesome by themselves on the mantel.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI_7xoF-9-OSDV9K2Rtnkb6IO6EfDSyzaqrAQfDP5yhaeRHS3iB1epGEpv_mMpwHOlNKVz1Qkc8Bv1YcVzY6thnKmSC70UFULEoAtBP_WoXUk5d2YeH0L8Ib7tLazBacwNfqYgSyfXV1Y/s1600/IMG_5861+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="182" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI_7xoF-9-OSDV9K2Rtnkb6IO6EfDSyzaqrAQfDP5yhaeRHS3iB1epGEpv_mMpwHOlNKVz1Qkc8Bv1YcVzY6thnKmSC70UFULEoAtBP_WoXUk5d2YeH0L8Ib7tLazBacwNfqYgSyfXV1Y/s320/IMG_5861+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm so in love with them! And all of that fuss in the background of the photo was also part of the trap! I found garland that was on sale and couldn't say no. It's this fantastic white garland that looks like thin branches and sparkles everywhere! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Stockings were a pretty stressful event in my life this holiday, as these were the first I've ever bought. I've been on this huge up-cycling kick in life and these stockings were perfect for that purpose! Both of our stockings were up-cycled from old wool sweaters, super-cool right?! Then I had this idea to get vintage brooches for each of our stockings to class them up a bit. So here's my stocking and brooch ( I had to take a couple shots of my brooch since it's so wonderful!):</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2FKoz52VSrZhyphenhyphenFERl4E7Z_dKYdzYyE6CWUudbJK9GrM-esqSR2lz7oQFN3lUTLori0NJud512O7VLuY9aYQ_cQrKCDpnwp3Y7nWkLTjl-CkB3_95Mzj9AfFKHj8i0zBcRT4obcYow0s/s1600/IMG_5850+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd2FKoz52VSrZhyphenhyphenFERl4E7Z_dKYdzYyE6CWUudbJK9GrM-esqSR2lz7oQFN3lUTLori0NJud512O7VLuY9aYQ_cQrKCDpnwp3Y7nWkLTjl-CkB3_95Mzj9AfFKHj8i0zBcRT4obcYow0s/s320/IMG_5850+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7bO-KlsEDgo14QKKOuGunngCfhTD7l-NRIsLE3ooPf29tWNKYMW75LX3qiGWV4A-4_BLzvFvd2Ge5Sn0lrrWc4QWtwfXhQtt6KuTlWNUhawnLb2lklM100A-4DbdprJ96ebbEt3dvUe4/s1600/IMG_5852+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7bO-KlsEDgo14QKKOuGunngCfhTD7l-NRIsLE3ooPf29tWNKYMW75LX3qiGWV4A-4_BLzvFvd2Ge5Sn0lrrWc4QWtwfXhQtt6KuTlWNUhawnLb2lklM100A-4DbdprJ96ebbEt3dvUe4/s320/IMG_5852+%25282%2529.JPG" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD6uGJ49DFGkNOAA_E40pb2xIuGEGxPX2vUR-Km_xNOTrZQhzTDLvUrJSVYmeqd1BR7jvwBzRgg2ZOJuaV-hyB6Q6YWj8sV-WNAyIc2lHM_LW65FwFDApKinC72Ze95CLAePHP04scupQ/s1600/IMG_5856+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD6uGJ49DFGkNOAA_E40pb2xIuGEGxPX2vUR-Km_xNOTrZQhzTDLvUrJSVYmeqd1BR7jvwBzRgg2ZOJuaV-hyB6Q6YWj8sV-WNAyIc2lHM_LW65FwFDApKinC72Ze95CLAePHP04scupQ/s320/IMG_5856+%25282%2529.JPG" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I had a grande chai apple juice with a shake of cinnamon (think, nice hot apple cider) in my hand and my Christmas music loaded. I love doing this drive year round, but something about the fall puts a touch of special on it. The 151 is a forest service road north of the Peaks and it takes you on a loop. I love working my way south on it so I can follow the mountain as I get closer. The leaves were at their best and we picked the perfect day to go.</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">While I'm at it....here's a little background. Abby was a given to me as a gift from my mom and dad. They surprised me with her on Mother's Day weekend when I'd come home from college. It is probably one of my favorite memories I have of my mom. My parents always made things more extravagant than was necessary and this wasn't any different. They had placed different items a first time dog owner would need around the house, things like food, a kennel, treats, etc. After every gift there were paper arrows on the ground pointing me in the direction of the next gift. The last one I received was a tiny dog collar with a pink dog tag that read, Abby Onnen. I still couldn't figure out what was going on and why they'd gone through all of this trouble, especially on a weekend that was suppose to be about my mom. After the collar there were three large arrows pointing to the closet. I opened the closet and didn't immediately see her, then she walked to the front of the kennel she was placed in and lightly tapped the kennel door. All I remember after that is grabbing my mom and crying with her. Abby was two months old and just under two pounds. She was one of the greatest gifts I've ever received and I think because of the importance of the way my mom gave her to me, she's always been just a little more than a pet. She's been my best friend and at times she was all I had to hold on to.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I often find myself visiting all of the websites I'm obsessed with when I'm out of commission like this. I shortly found myself on jcrew.com and looking at their wedding dresses, they are pretty much the base and inspiration of my dress. Before I get to the dress there's a back story though: <br />
<br />
Last year Mike booked a wedding with the couple, Jordan and Julia. I didn't meet Julia until we showed up on her wedding day and started shooting her getting her makeup done. We stayed with Julia the whole time she was getting ready and I rode with her to the ceremony at West Fork. I didn't meet Jordan, officially, until after the ceremony when we started doing their bride and groom shots. It was obvious from the start that they weren't just any other bride or groom. Jordan and Julia had us over for dinner when we were done editing their photos to have a viewing with them and we have truly been the best of friends since. I love telling this story because what an unlikely time to have made this friendship and even more, how cool is it that we were there on one of the most important days of their lives?! Mike and I love the two of them like they're our family and it's great to see a life long friendship with them. <br />
<br />
So back to the point. On the day of their wedding Julia's mom (who previously was in the business of making wedding dresses) was putting the final beading on the dress as Julia was getting her hair done. I have to tell you I have never seen such an understated work of beauty. We've seen lot of dresses, but not a single one of them moved me the way her's did. I eventually asked Julia to see if her mom would be interested in making my dress when the time came and she accepted. I am too excited to work with her and to have my own work of art that no other bride will ever have. It will be a complete original.<br />

As you'll notice the more I post, I've put a lot of time into making sure the things at our wedding our incredibly personal and that they compliment the things that mean the most to us. Just about everything has some level of significance and is representative to our families, and mostly my mother. <br />
<br />
<br />
On to the dress! The dress will be made of either silk chiffon or silk taffeta. I know both are very different and are for two totally different looks, but I'm still deciding there.<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is the silhouette I'll have and the dress will be in ivory. I want a soft sweetheart neckline just like this photo, I'm not crazy about the ribbon, so I won't have that. I am crazy about the pockets though! Pockets will be a must!! :) The back will have buttons, not the zipper that looks like you buttoned it. Buttons. The bodice will have lace on it that is champagne or a little darker in color looking something like this:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I want the lace to be darker so it compliments my great-grandmother's pearl necklace that my mom gave me after she passed away. I'll save the necklace story and pictures for another day. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I feel like the dress is the biggest indicator into what the rest of the wedding will be like, but more importantly, what the woman wearing the dress is like. I hope my dress will say, "This is a woman who is simple, classic, and elegant."</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Mike and I have been doing photography together for a couple of years now and I find myself tapping into creativity I never knew about. For most of you who know me, you are aware of my obsession for my inevitable wedding day and the fact that I have every detail planned. I would love to share a taste of what our day will be like and I can keep myself organized at the same time! I'm also super into fashion and decorating our home, so I look forward to sharing more as the holidays get closer. I would love for this blog to inspire my friends and family, while keeping you up to date on the adventure that is my life.<br />

Ok, let's start with rings since I'm still waiting for it! :) Here's a picture pretty close to the one I would love. I find myself being more and more drawn to rings that have some antique flair to them. So, my perfect ring in detail would be a one carat princess center stone, color: G or H, Clarity: VS2 or an SI2. It's totally beautiful right?!<br />

He's really into a wider band, 10-12mm and a brushed metal looking pretty similar to the one below.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
