Best Buds

Just something I took yesterday.

Can't decide what to call it. Either "New Beginnings" which is stupid and overdone or "Best Buds" which is corny but makes me laugh.

Flower and Garden Festival 2010

I had these photos sitting in my camera for three months. I only uploaded them yesterday. Now that things have calmed down a bit I need to resume this little hobby. I've seriously neglected it, and I miss it. Here are some shots of a little trip we took to Disney the weekend after we got engaged.

Hello, Blog? Are you there? It's me, Moriah.

So I feel really bad I've been neglecting this. As I explained things just got really really busy and hectic. But now that we've got the big things figured out and booked and out of the way, I expect things to start settling down soon.

I'd like to take up some hobbies again, besides (but not excluding) photography. I have a lot of paint and a blank canvas, and a lot of fabric scraps and crafty things lying around. I'm starting to get that familiar itch in my brain to crank out something creative. I might explode if I don't. (Ever see cloverfield? Like that.)

A couple weeks ago we took a drive to a restaurant in Boca to check out a potential band for the wedding. I didn't know a whole lot about them, other than the fact that they seemed pretty old. Well, I was right. Not only were they old, but the restaurant they played at was pretty much not unlike a retirement home- we were the youngest people there by about 40 years. After the initial awkwardness wore off, it was actually really awesome! These guys are so good!

I knew they were the ones because the first song I heard them play when I walked in was "night train". And don't even think for a second that you don't know the song "night train", because you do.

Yes, you do.

Hello, Bloggerland.

Remember back in the day (like three months ago) I made this crazy claim that I'd take a photo every single day FOR A WHOLE YEAR and post it in a timely and efficient manner on this here little blogaroo?

Yeah. I fail.

I have actually been taking a photo every day. I haven't skipped or missed a day yet. But I have had no free time to sit down and upload it and post it here. And at this point I'm like three weeks behind and to sit and sort out which photo to choose out of all the ones from each day, or to even remember which photo it was I squeezed in on the last minute of a day just so I wouldn't miss the deadline...that task is just not going to happen. I've been way too exhausted every day and night and I have...caps lock, bold AND italic, NO time. It's amazing how a little ring manages to suck up all your energy and free time. We are trying to do this wedding on a budget and also keep it pretty cool, and it calls for a lot of work. No money for a wedding planner here. It's all us, baby!

I read someplace that an average wedding in the US is $28,500.

Our budget is one-third of that. *gasp*

But I think we can do it. I know people that have gotten by with less.

Booked so far, we got:

-Caterer
-Photographer
-Venue

And I bought my dress for a RIDICULOUS, DISGUSTING, and almost even OFFENSIVE price. And it looks like a million bucks.

($263.94. Shh, don't tell no one...)


In fact, one of my friends that accompanied my mother and I when I went to try it on thought the woman was speaking in thousands (as in, $2600) and said, "that's a good deal for that dress! under $3000!"

Hahah. Oh, if only. Even if I had that kind of money I wouldn't spend it on a dress.

Also, I have appointments to pick out suits and bridesmaid's dresses, and an appointment with a florist. I'm crankin' it out, baby!

BUT ENOUGH OF THAT.

The point is, I have no time anymore for this project. I will post here from time to time but not every day. I just can't. I'm sorry.

I accept the fact that I am a loser.

But at least I'm an engaged loser.

Ta-ta for now, bloggerland. 

A quick word.

I've been super behind and busy. And when I get home I'm pooped.

I have been keeping up with the project. I haven't missed a day. I've just had no time to upload and post the photos. And I was out of town.

I got a lot coming. Sorry folks.

I have the most beautiful ring in the world :)

Sorry these photos are so late...but something happened this weekend that was a pretty big deal :)

Can you guess? :)

Hint: That sucker's not my grandma's ring :)
