i still can't believe it!

guess who suprised me last night by showing up on my doorstep?!

lol...this picture makes me laugh. i couldn't believe he drove all that way just to see me! (he said he couldn't wait a whole week which i found supercute). scott seriously is the best. and who could resist those giant dimples?! little piece of advice...any guy who thinks you are just as beautiful in your comfy sweats and your hair all messy and imperfect really *loves* you. he hopped right in bed along side me and we watched the season premiere of grey's anatomy together. wow. can't wait to see what this season will bring!!!!

a good day.

today has turned out to be a really good day. the dreaded presentation this morning went SOOOOOOO well! everyone loved our iPhone advertising campaign which was a huge stress off my mind. in the end, it was *ton* of work for only a week's time, but i'm glad we were the first group to go and get it out of the way before the semester really picks up.

second good news today: i got the internship!!! smiling from ear to ear over here :) i can't wait to get started on this experience. the boutique/studio is so *freaking* adorable. my boss is giving me a lot of creative freedom with this project so i will get a lot of great experience and meet a lot of people in the business at the fashion shows. if you're ever in the milwaukee area...check em out ess elle style studio. they have some really cute stuff and are always coming up with some really unique ideas for the customers' shopping experience.

can't wait for grey's anatomy premiere tonight!!! :) have a happy thursday!

yes. i'm procrastinating....

• i'm sick of typing this freaking paper.

• all i want to do is pass out and be able to sleep in.
  
• sadly, none of this is going to happen.
  
• i will most likely get only 5 hours of sleep tonight.


• i still have no idea what i am going to wear to my interview tomorrow.


• i'm not even stressing about it. weird.


• i love to make lists when completely unnecessary

on a completely different topic...i thought i would share some of my most recent scrapbook layouts that i accomplished (haha...as in this summer recent!) i secretly can't wait for graduation because it means my crafts won't have to take the back burner anymore and i can just do what makes me happy:)

and this yumminess is in my shop...on *SALE* for only $10! it looks great in a black frame with a black & white photo-something unique for yourself or for a wedding gift <3

happy hump day :)

i can't believe it's already wednesday....it seems like i just got back from the gloriousness that was this past weekend up in green bay (anyone follow football?!) i got to witness history in the making as brett favre tied dan marino's record! pretty cool for my first nfl packers football game. here's a picture of me and scott in lambeau field:
alright, i have to vent for just a minute....i'm working on a group project for my senior capstone requirement in order to graduate this december. i'm in a group with satan in female form. i'm convinced. she is out to get me....or at least cause me to have a mental breakdown. i'll spare you all the details, but let's just say i will be 1,000 times happier after tomorrow morning's presentation is over. and then i have an interview for an internship. so wish me luck! to offset some of the wicked stress i was feeling overwhelmed by, i watched me some dancing with the stars (guilty pleasure! hehe) and bought some photobooth albums and a tote from Leigh-Ann over at FreckledNest :) pictures to be posted once i get my hands on these yummy goodies!

green bay here we come!

i am so *freaking* excited for this weekend! scott is taking me to my very first green bay packers game :) i know...born and raised in wisconsin and finally attending my FIRST game @ 22 years old. going to sporting events/games with scott is the best..his enthusiasm is so contagious and it just makes the experience so much more memorable. we'll be going up saturday to spend the day with his old college roommates, then getting up early to tailgate with his younger brother and his girlfriend. go packers!!!

and monday my car is FINALLY going to the shop to get fixed after the accident i was in on the highway....my poor car needs some TLC baaaaad. hope everyone has a great weekend :)

rough start

so my final semester of college is not getting off to the best start :(

i already feel like *really* behind and its only like 3 days into classes. my late night job has already caused me to oversleep and miss a day of class...not to mention my having to miss an entire day of classes due to fighting my speeding ticket in city court (booo!). i so wanted this semester to be the one that wouldn't stress me out and not give me high blood pressure. here's to hoping things turn around quickly for the better and everything turns out alright.

this past weekend, scott and i attended the Mount Mary Starving Artists Festival. W-O-W. i am so glad that scott's aunt patti invited us to this. this festival was *huge*. original paintings, prints, pottery, blown glass, jewelry, scultpure, batik, you name it...it was probably there. i ended up buying this daniel lager original beauty...

...for only $100!!! his normal selling price is around $500. this painting just makes me so happy and it reminds me of a great day with scott. this weekend we are tackling the Holy Hill Craft Fair...i can't wait to see what great things i will find there :)

it's been raining all day here, which means that scott didn't have to work! yay! (he's a carpenter) so we spent our whole afternoon bumming around the house in sweats and watched Freedom Writers starring Hilary Swank. what an inspiring movie. i left scott to spend the evening with my parents and am so close to finishing my first quilt!! the end is near!! here's the beginning stages of my quilt.......and here's the finished product! :) i'm in love with my first quilting creation.

and so it begins....

Welcome to my blog! I have always been the kind of girl that loves to write things down, a place to work out all the idea I have going on in my head. I want this blog to be a place where I can express and share my thoughts, my creativity, my life, and everything in between.

With the intent of my blog out in the open, I suppose I should let you know a big about myself. I am 22 finishing up my public relations degree in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I can’t wait to be finished with college. My dream job in wedding planning and event coordination. I am constantly daydreaming about how much my life is about to change after graduation…I will probably miss napping the most. I am obsessed with decorating, wedding websites, shows, and Martha stewart magazines, and love a good dose of celebrity gossip. I love to create. Period. scrapbooking, painting, and recently have learned how to quilt and am *in love* with the sewing machine. I’ve already asked for one for a Christmas gift! I have to thank Rachel Denbow of Red Velvet Art for the intrigue into the quilting world. How quickly I have been sucked into the process of choosing the lush and vibrant fabrics, prints, designs, etc. My favorite fabrics hail from the genius that is Heather Bailey and Amy Butler. I am really enjoying this newfound desire to be domestic (and my boyfriend finds it cute too! He gets just as excited about my projects as I do, which just makes him all the more charming to me <3>

Though I have been through plenty of downs, and a few ups these past months, I feel so incredibly blessed and grateful to have found my boyfriend Scott. We are so in love and I have never been happier. I know we will have a beautiful future together and we have my best friend/Scott’s cousin Monica to thank for introducing us. We attended Scott’s friend Scooter’s wedding this past Friday and guess who caught the garter?! I will forever be a hopeless romantic and was so freakin excited about him catching that thing! Haha. But the bride threw the bouqet into a wall…soo….by default, all his buddies made me dance with Scott like I had actually caught it!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
