Wedding Festivities

The past three weekends have been filled with wedding festivities. These things seem to always come in waves! We will start with the first of the three weekends...

We celebrated the engagement of my best friend, Andi!! This was so special to me because we have been best friends for over 15 years now! We have shared so many special times together and I cannot wait to celebrate on her wedding day! Here is the whole crew...

And here we are..we have come along way since bangs and braces..

The next weekend we headed down to New Orleans to celebrate for Andi's bachelorette weekend! We had such an amazing time, mostly because we had these awesome hats..

Seriously check out these hats.. Andi's sister in law made one for each of us! She seriously has a talent for this! They were a huge hit to say the least! Andi's even lit up! It was so much fun!

And finally, this past weekend we celebrated the marriage of one of Tyler's closest friends, Derek! He and Derek have been friends longer than Tyler and I have been together(which is over 7 years now).

I believe they met back in high school! I am so glad Derek found his perfect bride and that we were able to celebrate with him!

Their wedding was such a dream! The location, weather, decor, everything was beautiful! Not to mention the bride was also stunning!

Here's to a lifetime of happiness and many, many blessings to come for Mr. and Mrs. Hasley!

Bedroom Remix

I have been thinking about redecorating our master bedroom for a while now. I was looking on my pinterest boards two or three weeks ago and realized I had pinned the same master bedroom three times...three times..the exact same thing! (here is the pin) That is when I realized I really need to start working on the master. I started putting together an idea board(I got this idea from my awesome friend Ashley) that included some of the things I had pinned and things that I would like to incorporate in the room. This is what I came up with:

(Sources-Pottery Barn, Etsy, West Elm, and this blog for the curtains )

So far I have the Duvet Cover (West Elm) and a Quilt (Steinmart). Still debating about pillows, curtains and lamps!

{Side note: if you need a quilt RUN to Steinmart! Their prices are ridiculously awesome.}

 

Also to make an appearance in this room are these awesome mirrors I found at Homegoods:

Carter is here! (about a month ago!)

On August 27th (early in the morning) I got a call from my sister. She thought she could be having early signs of labor. She called the doctor and although she already had an appointment scheduled that day, the nurse told her to come in early and they would check everything out! Sure enough, she was right! They sent her straight over to the hospital. What did that mean for me??  I was running around like crazy trying to get everything ready to leave ASAP!! (this is one of those times where I really hate living so far away from my family)..

Tyler and I left as soon as we could. The 4.5 hour drive felt like a year and I felt like I could have a panic attack at any moment! My sister was in labor...Ahhhh! We arrived at the hospital around 3:30pm. I was beyond excited that I would be able to see my sister before she had the baby! She was progressing pretty well and we knew it wouldn't be long until we could meet that precious baby! About an hour later the nurses sent us out...it was time!!

At 4:56pm baby Carter was born, 6lbs 7oz! He was absolutely perfect!  

I love this baby so much already!

Who couldn't love this little face?
