My new year's resolution....for July

You know how every January, everyone makes their New Year's resolutions? Yeah, well I've got July resolutions. Some are health resolutions (aka get in shape, drink more water) and most are wedding resolutions. Case in point, I made a to do list.Pink is my sister, yellow is D, and the blue...is me. Can we say FUN?

My love affair....

...with Amazon. If it wasn't for my iPhone and apps, maybe I wouldn't have one, but since technology makes shopping so convenient, I'd like to share my love affair. At least once a month, I place an order on Amazon. But every once I while, I shake things up. Like this month, I placed two orders on Amazon in one week.

First order was for three books. My sister just got engaged (in Venice, Italy nonetheless!) and I wanted to get something she would actually use. Enter, a wedding planning book!

The Wedding Book had great reviews which means, I'm hoping she'll enjoy it.

Next up, I couldn't leave my future brother-in-law hanging, so I got him this book, Groomology. It too had awesome reviews and I may even let Dustin borrow it beforehand.
Last but not least, I had to find a third book to fulfill my Amazon Super Saver Shipping discount. After a couple of searches, I found this book/journal.

What I Love About You has you answer questions about your significant other. It's just a really cute book, which I plan on filling out for the wedding. It may be a little silly, but I'm sure I'll get a smile out of D. :)

My five-day weekend

I had a long weekend to say the least. I only worked two days and the rest of the week I spent most of my time in D's truck. He was finally done with training in Oklahoma and he was ready to come home...yeah! So I hopped on two planes, got patted down by a TSA officer right before boarding (for the eighth time this year alone), and landed in Memphis four hours later. I won't bombard with details but we drove from Memphis to Mississippi to Georgia and finally to Florida.With five hours to go before finally arriving home, we were getting hungry so D opened up the trusty Yelp app and found Yellow Dog Eats.Let me just say, moving forward, every time I drive up to Orlando, I'll be stopping at this place. I seriously wanted to try every item on the menu. I went for "The Rufus" which was a pulled pork sandwich topped with thick cut Brie cheese, cherry ring peppers (I picked them off) and drizzled with their famous raspberry sauce. Wow. I would've taken a pic but I was too busy inhaling my food. Next time you're in Orlando and you have time to spare, I highly recommend this place. The food is delish and the atmosphere is great.

Sky-high heels

I get into moods where I start blogging and I don't stop for days. And then I get into moods where I blog and then disappear for weeks. Sorry. I'll try to be more consistent.

Anyways. This past Saturday I bought shoes. Possible "wedding" shoes. I'm not 100% percent set on them. Perhaps because I haven't decided if I'm wearing flat sandals or heels. I am getting married by the water. But we're not exactly sure if that'll be on the beach in sandy conditions, under a tree, or inside the restaurant because of the potential hurricane-like weather we've been experiencing lately may stick around till November. I'm sorry, was that even a grammatically-correct sentence? All I'm trying to say is that now till November 30th is technically hurricane season. Something to think about. If I plan on wearing 5-inch heels.

Speaking of which, these are the shoes.

They look plastic-y in the image but they're not. It's more of a soft leather material.

They're not traditional wedding shoes, but if you know me, you know I'm going to fight traditional till the end. And they're also really, really tall. But D is taller than me, even if I end up wearing these suckers. And another but, my bridesmaids will be little shrimpies standing next to me.

You can call me the jolly white giant.
