The Vow.

Last Friday, on opening night, I went with my mom

and little sister to see The Vow. I of course was SO

excited due to all the hype being created by this movie and

couldn't wait to see it. We of course had girls dinner

first at one of our favorite restaurants across

the street from the movie theatre. Also while

watching the previews I got so excited for The Lucky One

to come out! It looks so good as well. 

 I don't want to give away too much for those

of you who haven't seen it yet but I can say that

you MUST go see it.  If you love sappy love stories like

I do you will be completely captured by this movie. I cried about

75% of the movie.. which for me means that it was a

good movie. I couldn't help but text [KP] after the movie

was over and tell him how much I love him and how thankful

I am for him. Yes, it was that kind of a movie. It hit me right

in the heart.

 One of my favorite scenes of the movie.. who doesn't love

Channing Tatum soaking wet?! 

 I think Rachel McAdams is gorgeous! 

I also was thinking a lot after the movie 

and I am really thankful that I have my blog! I told

[KP] he should be thankful that I blog almost everything

that happens in our lives so that if we ever

get in an accident and I lose my memory 

I read back on my blog and remember how 

much I love him! This means more sappy

lovey posts for [KP] coming up soon! hah.

Before any good movie comes out that

was made after a book I always try and

read the book first.. but I got busy and couldn't

find the book on my Ipad so it didn't get read

before hand. But I found the book in target (and

now it's available on the Ipad, of course) and

started reading it the next night. 

I ended up finishing

the book before the weekend was over. It was so good!

I loved the book and the movie a lot for separate reasons.

Most of the books made into movies are way better as books

(Ahem, Nicholas Sparks!). 

But since this one was written

by the actual couple I loved it a lot but it was so different than

the movie that I couldn't really say if one was better than the

other. I loved them both! 

But if you love a good love story 

read the book and go see the movie!

 You won't be disappointed.

I hope everyone is having a great

week so far!

Bridal Talk Tuesday: Happy Valentines Day- Engagement Picture Sneak Peak!

Linking up with Elizabeth today

over at Life with Elizabeth for Bridal

Talk Tuesday!

When thinking of when I would debut my Engagement Picture

sneak peak shots that our photographer posted on Facebook

I thought there would be no better time than

on Valentines Day and also on Bridal Talk Tuesday.

How convenient that these are on the same day today! :)

A little history first. 

Maria Glassford of Maria Glassford Photography

was the first photographer that [KP] and I met with. 

I knew I wanted to meet with her first because she was

my #1 choice. I was intrigued by every photo that she

posted on Facebook and stalked her page for new 

photos long before we were even engaged. (Every bride

is a stalker, dont deny it!) So we met with Maria after

we had been engaged for a few months. I planned a Friday

out for us to meet and we met with her first thing in the

morning and I had plans for us to meet with two

other photographers that day. I wanted to meet

with all of my favorites in the same day so 

that I could compare them best that way.

We talked with Maria like we had known her

forever.. and we actually knew a few other couples that 

she had photographed. After we talked with Maria we

got in the car and [KP] looked at me and said "Ok,

my mind is made up. Can you cancel the appointments

for the rest of the afternoon?" At that point I knew

Maria would be our photographer. But of course, like any

good bride does I proceeded to go to the other appointments.

But I just didn't feel a connection with any of the other 

photographers like I did with Maria. Her photos capture

so much emotion and I wanted the same things to be 

captured on my day. I also loved that she was

a detail-oriented photographer. I love details! And

boy will there be lots of them to capture on our big day.

Now- the good stuff! 

I hope you enjoyed them as much I did!

Happy Valentines Day!

I am officially an RN!

Before I had even taken my NCLEX exam I recevied

this in the mail.. Nothing like a little motivation right?

Let me just say that before I walked in to

take my NCLEX I was probably

the most nervous I have ever been in my entire life..

and of course KP always makes things better..

He says "Dont worry babes- it's not like your entire

future is riding on this test" And ohh wait.. yes it is.

So I went home afterwards feeling absolutely

awful. Wanting nothing more to go out

and get drunk.. And I did just that.

KP had the bartender at our favorite

sushi place make me some purple concoction

I've never heard of nor did I know what 

was in it.. but at that point I didn't care.

                         Then I woke up the next morning.. nervously
                   logged into the site where I knew my results would
                               be posted that morning.. and saw..

I PASSED!

Whewww. What a relief!

Then a few days later I found my license in the mail..

It felt so good to see this.. I'm going to go out

and find it the prettiest pink frame I can find! :) 

I am an RN! After 4 1/2 years of hard work I finally an seeing

the results! I applied for a few positions and I am

waiting to hear back.. I'll let you guys know how it goes!

The end is really the beginning.

I recently finished nursing school in December and 

it is a nursing tradition to be pinned at the completion

of your studies by a fellow nurse.

We ordered our pins, wore our

white coast and celebrated our success! 

My family joined in to watch me be pinned. 

Me with Mimi & Papa.

Bevy from Preppy Wife Preppy Life! 

We may or may not have coordinated these dresses on purpose!

And us with our favorite male nurse MK!

This isn't all of my class.. actually its less than half.

 But some of them decided they

were too cool to attend. 

Being recognize for serving on the student nurses board.

Pinning begins.. We decided as a class to be pinned

by one of our favorite instructors.

The whole fam! Doesn't my mom look great in her

favorite print X marks the spot?

Beverly and some of her bridesmaids!

It was fun to celebrate school being finished with our

pinning ceremony! I am so glad to be done with school.

Can't wait to get a job and get out in the real world. 

But for now I am definitely enjoying the time off.

Bridal Talk Tuesday: Wedding antiquing

Linking up with Elizabeth at

 Life with Elizabeth

today for Bridal Talk Tuesday! 

I have fallen deeply in love with antiquing while
searching for items for our wedding.
Here are a few things I picked up in TN during New Years.

Ahh.. Milk Glass. How I love thee.

 Scored these old windows for $10 each. I have big plans for
these!

These are old feed scoops.. not sure what I will do with
these yet.

 And these will be our main centerpiece.
I want them to be overflowing with flowers.
And they will be tied with navy/white striped
grosgrain ribbon.

 These are old water buckets that were used
to get water out of a well. How cute right?!
They are actually a little blue and green in
person but the photos don't show it very well.
I think these will be at the end of the aisle. Once
again stuffed full of flowers.

My stack.. I got a pretty good deal on the
wooden boxes since I bought just about every
single one they had.

I have loved finding all these amazing things!
And can't wait to see how my wedding planner
makes me visions come to life on our wedding day!
