did it my self

Do you want to spend close 400 on a gown preservation cleaner to preserve and store your wedding dress OR do you do an at home light washing of your gown,  buy a preservation box from amazon that only costs 30 dollars and store it yo dang self ?? yeah , i took the second option baby we are in a recession and not willing to spend half of what i paid for the dress to have it cleaned and preserved ...


don't get me wrong this shorty does her research...
and in that (research)i concluded that: point 1; the chances of me wearing the dress again are slim to none lol
point numero dos ; the people at the dry cleaners are going to sink my dress in a water diluted fabric softener filled tub give it a good three rinses and call it a good day
third if i for some far fetched reason want to wear my cute little princess gown again i don't want to feel guilty knowing that i paid half a g for someone to stuff the huge bundle and not be able to put it back in.
And forth but definitely not least ,
most of the preserving agent are not in the actual cleaning of the dress but in the box itself so holla for diy projects

now how did this... ^

fit into this.. v

Our Wedding Day

It was a sunny november morning ....

The day i was married and sealed for eternity to my sweet and loving best friend. Our family and friends where there to share this special day. I am now one happy wife !! Its crazy how love happens a year ago i would have never thought id be a married woman so soon. Then came sky and unexpectedly swept me of my tiny fairy feet!! I am so utterly glad that he was persistent enough to keep asking me out on dates !! i should have said yes the first time... well look at us now so completely happy and disgustingly in love :)

Engagement photos

 We had a blast working with Chandra Goodman on our engagement photoshoot. She really is talented. my favorite shots where the ones with the apples when we are laying down i am absolutely in love with the kissing one. It really captured the snow white theme i was going for. Check out some of her work Delite photography.

guess what...

This girl is Engaged !!!!

Sky popped the question on Saturday June 4th 2011. Should i give you guys the story ... okay if you insist

so he had been insisting that we go for a hike . i was kind of hesitant cuz earlier i had gotten stung by a wasp on my booty cheek and was a little sore. i hate you wasp ... anyways so we are going on this nightly mountain hike. So we are hiking and mind you this its as dark as a moonless night and we only have one flashlight. the wind kept making the bushes rattle and i was getting a wee bit scared that it was a rattle snake i said to skyler "babe lets go there what if there is snakes" he responded with " I'll protect you love, don't worry" aww soo sweet! so we are climbing and this hike goes around the mountain so we come to a part where we have to round a corner and we see a faint outline of something in the distance and its making weird noises... 

he shines the flashlight on it and I'm thinking what is that ... (scared)

all i see is balloons and glow sticks

immediately i think of look somebody died here how sad they made a memorial

then he stops and I'm like babe come on i thought you wanted to go on a hike and i start to walk away 

hes still not moving 

then i guess i take a closer look at the set up and i realize its a picnic 

at this point I'm thinking oh i see someone is having a romantic dinner here ( its close to prom ) those silly high school kids...

all of a sudden he gets down on one knee pulls the ring case out and shines it's brilliant belongings up  to my face my and says my name followed by a question every girl dreams to hear being uttered by the man of their dreams( he is that man )

eeek so of course i say yes !!

i cant believe how sneaky he was ... he got me good. i really didn't think that i was gonna get my ring this soon.

he had told me all along that i wouldn't have my ring till September due to some financial adjustments he would have to make. ant then he came up with the clever story that somebody else wanted my ring and that i would have to go pick out a different one. that really made me sad, but i was resigned to making the best of it and i kindly agreed and told him that if i had to pick out a different ring it was fine. 

 never did i suspect that he had the ring all along and that my sisters were in on it and they were setting things up to have him propose that same day hahaha love it!! thanks to everyone involved

Soon to be Mrs.... Swanson that is :)

Shooooooting!!

Hot summer day at four peaks. perfect day. i hadnt shot a gun in a while it was way fun. I even shot the rifle !
Bullets in my ears sweat on my brow and a gun in my hand i feel dangerous ! do you see that watermelon ? my baby blew it up with his rifle!! sexy !
At least now i have the certainty that we wont ever go hungry .
We can just hunt like in the hunger games haha joking
I had a great time except for the part where a stupid annoying wasp stung me right in the left butt cheek !!!
(i'm still swollen 3 days later)
