A Spooktacular Evening

This year Halloween was on a Sunday! What a drag! or so I thought! Friday night I went with my roommate Christyn and a few of her friends to Mickeys Not so Scary Halloween Party. It was excellent! We were really indecisive about costumes for several weeks, until Christyn and I found these adorable orange witches hats! They are bright orange with spiderwebs on them and then they have a little spider hanging off the top of the hat!! LOVES It!!!!! So we got one for everyone and then her friends made us these adorable tulle skirts! What a great Halloween after all! At the party we trick or treated and got soooo much candy! Several pounds worth a piece at LEAST! We also got to watch the parade, fireworks, and ride a few great rides, space mountain, thunder mountain, you know all the good ones ;)

Witches in front of the Castle!

Salem Witch trials anyone?

Cowboys aren't the only ones with big hats!

My first meeting with the Shadow Man! <3>

What a great group of girls! We had a blast!!

XOXO

Engagement Pictures

So one of the things I got to do when I was in Utah last week was take John and Mines engagement photos. James was an amazing photographer! He is so talented. It was the worst weather possible! Raining and windy! But he still managed to make us look like rockstars! Here are my top favorite pictures! I am so lucky to have such a great friend and fiance!

Pumpkin Patch Party!

TODAY! was a very good day! Christyn and I went to a local pumpkin patch and picked out some pumpkins to decorate and carve with next week! It was so much fun! When we got there there was a little boy around 6 who came right up to us and told us he was really strong and showed us his muscles! haha he was so adorable. He was the owners son, and so he said" Ladies, I'm strong and I'm going to help you out. And he grabbed a little wagon and totally pushed and pulled it around for us the whole time and kept brining us different pumpkins to look at! He was hilarious! He just kept calling us ladies, and he told us to call him Steve even though his real name was Jack haha. I just love fall!!!

Jack wanted us to buy all these pumpkins haha but it was a little too many!

Look out cute!

They had tons of crazy gords and squash! It was so pretty!

These little pumpkin cuties were called "spookies"

So pretty!

This is Jack/Steve hauling our pumpkins out to our car where he put them all in our trunk for us! What a little gentlemen!!

XOXO

Just a little Hocus Pocus!!

BOO!!!!!!!!

So to start off the Halloween festivities Christyn and I went and watched Hocus Pocus! They were playing it for cast members on the Philharmagic Screen in Magic Kingdom! It was so fun seeing it on the big screen. And since its absolutely one of my very favoritist movies it made it even more epic! They played some short disney halloween classic cartoons at the beginning which was pretty awesome too! They also gave us popcorn and sodas! Who says Disney doesn't take care of their employees!! HAHA!!! After the movie, we were pretty much the only ones in the park except for the night work shift and so we took some pictures with dumbo!!! What a great way to start the Halloween Season!!

XOXO!!!!!!!

Wedding Planning....

Hello ALL!!!!! Sorry I have been so MIA to the blogging world as of late, but I have been so very busy with sorting out wedding plans! Compiling paint swatches, finding an apartment for us to live, choosing flowers, getting a marriage license, organizing flights, hotels, honeymoons... the list goes on and I feel as if it will never ever end! Wedding planning is a lot more stressful than I thought it would be. I've only been engaged for a little over a week and already I feel like my life is in over drive all the time! Who knew there were so many tiny details to be covered?

However I wanted to share some details I have made decisions on!

The first and most important decision: We are getting sealed in the Washington DC Temple on December 22 at 12 pm :) :) :) :) :) :)

The look I want is a very southern, warm cozy feel.

Whats better than candles and canning jars?

I want my bouquet to look something like this,

our colors are black, cream and dark purple

My friend Rachel made these adorable cake toppers, and I have decided to make some too!

I am custom doing them to match my dress and Johns suit :)

I'll post pictures when they are done!

Instead of having a traditional HUGE wedding cake( I HATE cake) we are going to do a small cake on top with cupcakes underneath! YAY!

Now if only I could get cupcake wars to make them for me.....

Well that is all my life consists of for now. I am traveling to UT in a few weeks to go dress shopping and take our engagement pictures so I will be sure to update after then! I also am applying for another part time job because I'm not getting good hours at Disney, so I will keep you updated on that and more wedding details as I figure them out!

XOXO
