Twenty-three Tuesdays ago, my Tuesdays changed forever… :)

I can’t even describe how fast life is moving. (Broken record?) It’s nearly too much to handle, but it’s still so exciting and fun! We get married in seven weeks!!! I like to think of it as just a little over a month, rather than just under two. It just sounds sooner. :) Now graduation.. Well THAT happens in just over 3 weeks. OH. MY. LANTA. Sixteen years of formal education is coming to a sweet, sweet end. Not to mention that we’re moving 1,899 miles away. (Sorry mom and dad, I should have warned you not to read that sentence…)

Dylan is in Houston this week for work. Perfect timing, right? He’s planning to scope out some neighborhoods in Midtown and find the right one for us! Is anyone else’s dream neighborhood straight out of Father of the Bride? Then comes the apartment search.. I’m already looking at paint colors. This is way too much fun!!

Today is the 11-year anniversary of the Columbine High School massacre. That day shook my whole world as an 11-year old girl, particularly the stories of Rachel Scott and Cassie Bernall. Take a little time today, to remember.

On a completely different note, I ate Lucky Charms this morning. And even drank the greenish/blue milk afterwards. :)

Okay, back to Houston. Just some exciting facts! Houston is the 4th largest city in the US, has more than 11,000 restaurants (and hopefully just as many gyms!), has the second largest theatre district (trailing NYC, of course), has a ginormous museum district (can’t wait to get my learn on!).

We finally nailed down the order of our ceremony. WAM. BAM.

Photographer of the week: Bobby Earle. Bobby is a wedding photographer and world traveler based out of San Diego and works along side his adorable (and pregnant!) wife, Lindsay. And together, they take ridiculously creative images. Totally check out his blog and website! :)

Started shooting our sweet little promo video this past weekend. Can I tell you how in love I am with video footage from a DSLR? It’s just soo creamy! (Dylan laughs at me when I use the term creamy. Can anyone vouch for me??)

Song of the week (and every week, let’s be real..): Let’s Get Married (ReMarqable Remix) feat. Jagged Edge and Run DMC. If you ever wanna see me bust some crazy moves, just play this song. :)

As of next week, I will be a featured Houston vendor on TheKnot.com. So direct all of your friends! :)

Here’s a tiny sneak peek of Thursday’s bloggity! This family has absolutely stolen my heart!!

Happy Tuesday!

You know that old husband and wife down the street who look exactly the same? It always blows my mind how two very different-looking people can evolve into each other as the years go by. My sister, however, seems to think Dylan and I have a head-start. “You two look like brother and sister.” Umm, weird.
