March Madness: Love Is In The Air

Well loves, life has been pretty hectic lately and its mostly good. My birthday was fabulous as always, even though a lot of people bailed on me last minute. I still had a blast. I planned a sit down dinner with my family and friends at a restaurant called Max's Tavern and there food is amazing. My oldest sister surprised me with a birthday cake and they sang to me in the restaurant (yes, sort of embarassing).

After the dinner we went to a bar/club in the downtown area (because thats seriously the only place to go out around here) called Alumni. I can't lie I had an amazing time, maybe that has something to do with the 4 Patron shots I had. The day after my birthday I received a call for a new job which I am now working. Its a retail job and I really like it. It's been so hard for me to find work outside of what I've done since I graduated high school and I needed to find something on my own and at a different pace. Along with that came training and then opening day, which went very well. This past weekend was my cousins wedding! Which I had the pleasure of being her Maid of Honor. It was one of those things that went by so fast and felt like a dream. I had so much fun!

My beautiful Maid of Honor dress is from White by Vera Wang for Davids Bridal. I wore it in Plum which was a perfect compliment to the Wisteria color the other Bridesmaids wore. My jewelry is from Debs, the necklace was a set with the earrings and I bought the bracelet separate but they had a buy one get one half off for jewelry. Along with my duty as Maid of Honor I gave my speech which I intended on giving without crying but that was an epic fail. Afterwards we ate and drank and danced. When it was time for her to toss the bouquet the first time it sort of hit the ceiling and was fought over so she did it once more and I caught it while getting hit in the back of my head by some other person also attempting to catch it.

On the left is the bouquet I caught and on the right are my flowers. I saved my flowers and now they are in my room in a vase. It still feels like a dream. I am glad that it has happened and we can move forward, weddings are kind of stressful. The whole day getting ready your just a big ball of nerves. I felt like I had no time for anything but I did.

With March coming to a close I can only begin to think that my faith has kept me going and I'm proud of the progression over the month that I've had. I can't wait to see what else is next for me. Stay tuned.
