There are some things that I am not good at. Gymnastics. Tap dancing. Wood whittling.
And being patient.
Yes, you got that right..I am still waiting to hear back on my spousal visa for the United Kingdom. I will be finding out if the visa has been issued via e-mail, making me check my e-mail constantly. I am making myself...

My life has turned into a constant waiting game. Waiting for my visa paperwork to come in, waiting for May 26th… waiting essentially for life to get underway. Guess what I typically not good at? Waiting. Alas, developing patience is something I am getting a bit better at during this time I have been in a long distance...

Neal left my side yesterday, and our final countdown apart has begun… a mere 52 days until Neal is back for the wedding (but who is counting?). This time when Neal left, nearly no tears were shed because our time together was wonderful and nearly perfect and just what this very stressed bride needed before...

I am making these coffee filter flowers as a way to supplement the real flowers we will be having throughout the reception. The idea of these flowers is to...

Also, it allows you to see what friends, celebrities and your favorite brands are trending too. I thought I would do a...

Last week, I was walking through Trader Joe’s and I noticed the music playing in the background as traditional Irish music getting shoppers ready for today’s holiday: St. Patrick’s Day. Hearing the music reminded me that just last year, I was able to travel to Ireland with Neal and what a wonderful and glorious...

I love nothing more than creating and adding elements to an event (yes, especially a wedding) that can bring a bit of surprise to guests. I am always thinking of little elements that I can add (without breaking this very thoughtful DIY Bride’s Budget). Last week, I stumbled upon these oh-so-cute lollipops…and at just...

I am trying to become better at checking out other blogs and seeing what’s out there in the great big blogging world. Even though I have been blogging here for over 18 months, sometimes is tough to get connect to other fun (similar minded) bloggers in the world.
Last week, I stumbled upon A Day in the Life of an Average...

March is now here. The third month of 2012, and I can hardly believe it . Some how two months have snuck away from me, and we are about 80 days way until the wedding, less than 100 until the big international move.
Entering into the new month, I thought I would take a peek at how my New Year Resolutions are stacking up. I...
