I needed a weekend from the weekend.

Throw Back Thursday. (a TAD of a picture overload)

This time last year (March 21) I had TWO showers given on the same day. It was pretty crazy, but ended up working out perfectly. One of my best friends in the whole wide world lives in OHIO (tear) so we don't get to see each other very often. She wanted to host a shower...she and my other best friends from high school (along with their fabulous mamas) hosted a monogram brunch shower. It was so fun, and I received so many gorgeous presents. It was held at the Jasmine House, which is a venue that is rented out for special occasions, weddings, parties, etc. and happens to be owned by one of my mom's best friends! Perfect! I used this shower to invite all of my "high school" Chapin friends. There was a wonderful turnout and I felt very blessed and loved
This is me, my mom (with her eyes closed as normal) and the wonderful hostesses!

Well, my college bridesmaids and some of Mikey's groomsman also wanted to throw us a shower (so lucky!). Several people live out of town, so it just kinda ended up making sense to do it all on the same weekend to save people's weekends, driving, etc. Ten of our friends hosted us an around the house shower at another one of our friend's houses. It was wonderful! It was "young people only" (i.e., my parents came for like an hour and then we got WILD!) We have enough parties and showers with the adults (yes, even though I am an adult my parents friends are still considered "the adults.") We have started doing this "young people" type shower and they are so fun, obviously it is more of a party!

This is me with my FAB FIVE, my best friends from high school!

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
