"A self-portrait once a week, every week in 2014." // A tired face and a happy heart.

Hi readers,

These photos are the after math of the crazy third week I had. But don't worry, crazy is always a good thing in my book. Last week, Lane and I finally signed the papers for our venue. We FINALLY have a venue! Ha. Le. Lu. Jah! We're getting married at the Heritage Museum of Orange County, outside, in the gazebo pavilion. May 24, please come sooner!

So, I'm a weird gal because I made it as first priority to have our venue before I had my dress. But two days after we signed the papers for our venue, I also signed the check to buy my wedding gown! I literally can't stop dreaming about it and looking at all the pictures from that day. It was a dream come true- the designers of my dress were there and gave me a discounted price, I found out that I'll be the first bride to wear their one of a kind gown, and I can get it in the actual color that I want even with a rush order. So, so thankful! I couldn't have done it without my girls and my future Mother in law.

The third picture in the photo set below is a dress I've always wanted to try on- the high lace neck. It was/is a beautiful dress, but the price wasn't right. It was just nice to try on so many dresses! But if you know me, I haaate being awhile in a dressing room. That's why it took me an hour and a half to my find my perfect dress. All of my people kept saying that is seriously a new record for all the brides!

Way to go, 2014! You're already my favorite year to date. Love you so much!
