Valentines Dessert

Instead of going out on a hot date for valentines day

Bradley and I are going to make dinner and stay in.

We have gotten a few bottles of champagne from loved ones to celebrate our engagement.

We figured we would celebrate on valentines day!

Any way, I'm making the dessert and Bradley is making dinner.

Here's what I have decided to make.

It's a recipe from The Pioneer Woman Blog

I love how she takes pictures of each step, it seems fool proof.

Strawberry Shortcake Cake Yummm. I'll post pictures if it turns out!

Maid of Honor

In 2008 my best friend got married.

I was in her wedding :)

Yesterday I asked her to be my maid of honor.

We both cried. It was the perfect reaction.

Wedding Dress.

I bought my wedding dress yesterday.

I want to show every one and post pictures on my blog.

It's so me. I wanted to come home and show my fiancé

because I know he would love it ...

But I can't.

I didn't even have any intentions of trying on dresses let alone buying one.

It's perfect. It's exactly what I wanted. I can't believe it's so beautiful.

Best of 2011

Bradley and I always say " We have the best lives"

So when I was looking back at our 2011 I came to the conclusion that we really do.

The best part not pictured is our engagement!! (but I just wrote about that).

We go on adventures, we go outdoors, we have fun friends & an awesome puggle.

In random order here are some highlights from my 2011:

Michigan Biking/Camping Extravaganza

Bora and I started running

Bryan's birthday feast at our house

On the hottest and coldest day of the year Bradley rode from Indy to Winona.

Halloween!

Memorial Day camping trip in MI

Road trip to Nashville with all of these lovely people!

Sarah's summer wedding/ trip to New England

Each year is a great in it's own way. I really think 2012 is going to be amazing!

Just a few things I'm looking forward to:

-Graduation

-New car

-Road trips

-Camping/Biking Adventure II

-Pickens family reunion

-Moving

-Planning our wedding
