102 Days to go!

We have just over 100 days until our wedding! That was a crazy realization for me today at work when I realized next week it will be 3 months until the big day. Amazingly I am not stressed at all, we have everything figured out and I have a timeline for the last few things that we need to get done.

This weekend we're going to look at a jeweler for Robert's Ring, he already knows exactly what he wants we just need to find one that works for us. Following in the current trend he wants a Tungsten ring, they are a darker grey and extremely strong. Of course since he’s my surfer he doesn’t just want plain ring, instead he wants one with an abalone inlay. They look amazing! I love that he wants a ring with a little color in it.

We just need to keep plugging away, getting one thing done at a time until the big day is here!

Spring Time!

Spring is here, even thought it didn’t feel like winter was ever really here. With the weather heating up we’re going back to the beach and spending more time outside again. In the middle of an extremely busy weekend Robert and I found time to start a patio garden at the apartment. I got a 15 gallon pot to for my tomato and another planter for an herb garden with chives, cilantro, dill and basil.

Then to continue in our spring celebration I came home last night to a very happy Robert. He was waiting anxiously for me to come home so he could show me what he had gotten for himself at Home Depot. A Weber BBQ complete with his accessories. The best part was that he had also bought fixings for pork adobada tacos. It was so nice to eat dinner on the patio and it doesn’t get any better than tacos.

Busy week!

Last weekend thanks to my very generous parents Robert and I were able to fly up to Sequim for the weekend to spend some time with the enormous Howat family. We had a great time visiting with family and friends that we hadn’t see in a while. We both commented that it felt like we still lived up there. I had to remind myself a few times that I still had to fly back to San Diego at the end of the weekend.


I know we missed a ton of people, 2 days is not a very long time, but we will see you all in August! We worked on finalizing plans for our Reception/Barbeque in August; I know it will be a great party.

Back in San Diego we had a busy week, getting back to work and Robert getting back to school. Yesterday was great I had a half day so we were able to head out to the coast and spend some time at the beach. While driving around we were able to complete some more wedding details. We stopped by a bakery in Cardiff that we had gotten baked goods from before. We want to do cupcakes for the wedding down here, I had originally thought I would make them myself but have now decided that I wont have time and want to have someone else make them for us.

The bakery is called VG bakery if you want to look them up. I was thrilled when I realized that their cupcakes were $.89 a piece. So we can get 35 cupcakes for around $40. Doesn’t get much better than that! I also found my shoes to wear at the wedding, yes they’re flip flops! Honestly what else would I wear? I’m so happy that everything is coming together so well, stress free and cheap, my kind of wedding plans!!
