MIA

I've realized it's been a loooong time since I've posted...like a month at least.  Oops! In my defense, April was super busy between work, my wedding, my friend's wedding festivities and the important April birthdays in my family.

Before I even try to catch up with what's going on now, we'll go back to late March for a NC trip recap and then we'll press forward to highlight a few events that happened in April and then talk wedding! 8 weeks and I'll be a Mrs.!! :) 'Tis the plan that I am sticking to!

Happy Monday!!

Engagiversary

St. Patrick's Day wasn't just another day. It was our engagement anniversary! :)

St. Patrick's Day 2012

This year was a much colder version, but it was still a lot of fun to realize we have been engaged for a year!

I rocked these socks all day!

We celebrated by having Applebee's for lunch and then did some shopping for some reads for our plane rides. When we got home we got to devour the 3 of 4 cupcakes I bought for our anniversary. I couldn't resist not eating the Peanut Butter Chocolate cupcake early. :)

Cupcakes from Bloom Bake Shop

St. Patrick's Day 2013

What's St. Paddy's Day without a green beer..and a green Sprite? T gave up alcohol for lent.

I hope you had a wonderful day of green filled fun whether you are Irish or were Irish for the day!
