Congratulations To The New Mr. and Mrs Montgomery!

So as of today at 3:00 pm two of my very very good friends after ten years of dating tied the knot!! They went to Jamaica at the beginning of the week for their weddingmoon and they got married at 4:00 their time! I wish I could have been their to celebrate with them but I know they are having a blast together!!!!

I know that today has been a LONG awaited day not only for Jackie and Shawn but for everyone that knows them! Jackie and Shawn are high school sweethearts that have been together since they were 15!! Can you believe that? I know they have a long happy life ahead of them and I wish them the very best!

To Jackie and Shawn, CONGRATULATIONS!! I love you both and I CANNOT wait to see pictures when you get back!!

P.S. I hope you remember to bring me back my hat with dreads!!:)

Spring Break!!

I have been on spring break all week and it has been fantastic!!! Usually I cant sleep past 8:30 or so on Saturdays and Sundays but I have been sleeping in until at least ten! It has been awesome! I guess you could say I am having a "staycation" because unfortunately I am not on an exotic tropical beach somewhere...but wouldn't that be awesome if I was?! I did get to do a

few fun things though!

We went to Austin for my good friend, Kelly's batchelorette party. It started off kind of hectic because when we got to the hotel they did not have our reservation and they were of course booked!! So we were frantic for about two hours because we were three hours from home and we were homeless. We finally got a hotel room and the celebrating started!! Kelly got a lot of good stuff for her soon to be hubby! I think he will like it all;)

I also went to Stephenville for a night to see some other good friends! It is so weird how much things have changed from when I lived there just a year ago! I don't know how its possible considering I am only 24 but I felt OLD! Some of those kids at Tarleton look like they are 12 years old!! No kidding! But I guess if you think about it they are probably my brothers age, which in a way makes me feel even older because I cant believe that boy is old enough to be in college. It seems like yesterday when we brought that little butterball home from the hospital in a limo, (yes a limo but he was the only boy in a family of five sisters I guess he deserved a little pampering) But now he is a full grown college coed as my dad would say!

Anyways back to the real world tomorrow. Oh how I will miss you spring break!

Until next year...

Recession Fashion-Looking Fab for Less!

Today on one of my very favorite blogs, Kellys Korner she was doing a post about recession fashion and looking fabulous for less! I thought I would join in on the fun! I am usually a Forever21 girl because you usually cannot beat the prices BUT my sister, who is a Fashion Merchandising major has shown me that you can go into more expensive stores and still get some awesome deals!! So here is my advice on looking fabulous for less:



** Go into a store and try the items that you like on to check for sizes and then go on the Internet and wait until that item goes on sale! As soon as you see it on sale go ahead and grab it since you already know how its going to fit! You can also go to http://www.retailmenot.com/ and usually find coupon codes for money off as well as free shipping!



** http://www.shopittome.com/ you can go here and register for alerts to be sent to your email when your favorite stores are having sales! That way you know when to go shop!! I also always register my email with my favorite stores and they will send you coupons through your email and snail mail! Example DSW sends me a $10 dollar off coupon every month or so! I Love love love coupons. Why pay retail right?!

Here are a few items that I really like and that are pretty cheap:

This shirt is from the gap. I have it and I love it! I love the girlie ruffles on the neck and sleeves. The color is great for spring and it is on sale right now for $21.99

Here is another also from the gap that is adorable and only $14.99:

Here is a dress VERY similar to one I bought last Friday (I could not find the actual picture) from Banana Republic for $29.99 Seriously People!!!I think it was originally $80.00 It is so cute on I love it!! (I am not sure how much the one in the picture is, but the one I bought is not quite as dressy so you can wear it with sandals or heels!! I think the material on my dress is a heavy cotton)



This is item is from a store called Francesca's(They have great prices) http://www.francescascollections.com/



This would look great with some black pumps for a night out or some cute flats for during the day!

Here is another:
This dress is only $34.98!


So these are some of my fab for less recession fashion picks! Make sure you check out Kelly's blog to get even more "fashion for less" tips!!!

Wedding Planning

I can't believe that Jared and I have already been engaged for three weeks! December 12 is going to be here before we know it!!! The day after we got engaged the first thing I did was go to Barnes and Noble and purchased some wedding magazines. I wasted no time and dove head first into the planning! So far, the date is Saturday, December 12, 2009.

The Church:


Denton Bible Church

Denton, Texas

The Reception Location:

Robson Ranch

Denton, Texas

I have also already gotten my dress, but I definitely can't put that picture up here! There is so much more to do it kind of seems overwhelming at times but right now since I have the most important things picked out I am just trying to enjoy being engaged! It would be a little easier to enjoy, if my new fiance (I feel weird calling him that:)) was here! He has been building a barn in Big Spring all week!

I am ready for this week to be over! We are heading to Austin for my good friend Kelly's bachelorette party! I am so excited I can not wait!!!
