color crush

I LOVE neutrals.  Always have,always will.  I can thank my mama for that.

There is no doubt my house will be one neutral canvas. 

Just like my closet, my wedding, and about everything else I put my touch on...

BUUT in all the neutral wonderfulness I love hints of colors here and there.

With the house hunt coming to an end I am letting my mind run a little wild with possibilities.

(inspection today, pleeeease PRAY it goes smoothly and that N High St will be our new home)

And while this picture sums up basically everything about my style and fave colors...

these are some color combos I'm crushing on

I am so excited to share my "inspiration" pieces for each room!  But I don't want to count my chickens before they hatch! Speaking of chickens.......we'll be getting some of those too!

(and bees, there will def be bees! duh)

I'm loving that we're one step closer to owning a home.

I'm loving our wedding is only 45 days away. 

I'm loving that I get to spend a weekend with this ginger

and all of our best friends, in our favorite Texas town.

I'm loving the way things are going!

I sure hope you're

love/not so much love

I am loving that there is only 10 more days of school left. How is that even possible?

I am loving that everything is winding down and summer is within reach.

I am not loving that this part of my life is closing. Not teaching next year will be...bizarre. I don't even know what to think about it.  It seems so "freeing" but when I think more about it I know come August my heart will be aching to greet 20-some-odd new babies.

I am loving that I'm going out with my favorite teachers this afternoon.

I am however, absolutely hating that the reason for said dinn is a "farewell" to me.  It is WAYY to soon to be saying goodbye!

I am loving that T is looking at houses tomorrow! Let's play a little "House Hunters" shall we?

I am SO NOT loving that I can't be there.  We have to get this ball rolling though, him going this week without me will hopefully put us on the fast track in a couple weeks when we "seriously" go look. He better take extensive video footage of each house...

I am loving this canvas I got in the mail! The worn out denim adds a certian Bruce Springsteen charm don't you think?? LOVE IT!

I am loving this devil angel girl. And I'm pretty sure she is loving all these back to back weekends of being in town.

I am loving labeling all my classroom boxes with "Mrs. Urbo".  A little premature sure, but the next time I open them I'll be a Mrs. Urbo afterall - putting Ms. Landin will surely confuse any custodians right? Yes.

I am loving that this beautiful couple, Bill and Claudia, got engaged this past weekend! I am also loving that she caught the bouquet at the wedding just the weekend before. She had no idea at the time but I was dying over the irony! Add it to our 2013 wedding list!! YESSSS!

Speaking of weddings, I am loving that I have 2 more fun weddings and another bachlorette party on the books in the next month.

But I must say, I am loving that we only have 2 more weddings this summer. Then it's a mad dash to our big day! WOOO!

I are loving how true these words are.

And it reminds me how much I am always loving Rockport. Why is it that being close to the ocean/bay makes you feel a little closer to heaven?

I am NOT loving that we have no free time to get down there.

I am loving this addition to my wrist (the bracelet) simple and one sale at Dill! Win!

I am loving this app. Can you tell?

I think I am loving the idea of not having my wedding band be flush against my engagement ring.  I think. Thoughts??

i think this is from pinterest? snapped a screen shot of it on my phone.


I am loving how sweet T is. You would not believe the thought and consideration he put into his "groomsmen descriptions" for our wedding website. He is such an incredible friend, as this picture indicates...

bahaha...Mr. Daniel had a bit too much to drink. Mr. Daniel may also be a reality TV star soon. That's a show I'll def watch!

but really, I am so proud to call him mine.

Howevee...I am almost hating that he put so much effort into the site.  He's going to make me look like I totally hate my girl friends. In fact, it'll be a shocker if I even put a smidge of effort into our website. Thanks Trav for making me look like a total under achiever.

I am loving life in general and as always, counting down the days until I get to live less than 100 miles from T!

That's all for today! Happy Wednesday!

148

I am loving that there are less than 150 days until the wedding. 148 to be exact. Now if only it was less than 50...

*    *    *    *

I am loving that wedding gifts have already started arriving! We haven't even registered yet! 

Rachael Ray Cookware and Rachael Ray Food Totes (to carry food??)
I have this super sweet, apparently super addictive QVC shopper, great aunt. She called my mom telling her to be expecting packages. This was the first round and I'm pretty certain T and I will likely be the new owners of Rachel Ray's entire line of QVC products. Not complaining one bit about this but Lordy, I sure hope our house comes with ample cabinet space! 

*    *    *    *

I am loving our save the dates! LOVING. About a month delayed but hey, they're really just for "cute-sake" anyway right? Here's a sneak peek! So excited to share them soon! 

Wooo! Can't wait to get these babies in the mail! 

*    *    *    *

I am totally loving that it's almost summer. 15 1/2 school days. 

HOLLA!

*    *    *    *

I am loving that we're showering baby Charlotte, my most favorite niece, this weekend! 

A sneak of the fun party details. This cuteness is courtesy of my other SIL.

I am loving these summery flower arrangements and am chomppin' at the bit to fill our first home with flowers constantly!

And last, but certainly not least, I am just loving this ginger bear. Always. Can't wait until we finally share a zip code (and nightly drinks on the porch with the pups)!

Happy Wednesday girls...

Love it. Always have, always will.

Where on earth can I find these shorts? Must have.

Oh, my poor children. This will be them for sure. Just as soon as I get a Tech hat on him, that little gentleman will be ready for tailgate! COMPLETE CUTENESS!

And is it just me or do nautical and preppy go together? I def think they do! Summer gets me full swing into preppier clothes and has me wishing I was constantly here...

via

and what I would give for Travis to buy me this pink boat...

via

Wonder how mad he'd be if I painted his pink...

Do I dare? I think if I have any hopes of marrying him the answer is sadly no.

Speaking of boats, these days I'm constantly dreaming of spending hours with T and his favorite hobby. And I've been begging him to take me to do this:

Come on people, have you seen "A River Runs Through It"? Fly fishing is hott.

 On a different fishing note, I'm loving this dress T got me last weekend.

via

I think I'll wear it fly fishing with my thigh high wade boots! Just perf! ha

These two items are on the top of my prepp-ish wish list! 

 via

I'll be needing this just as soon as I buy an awesome camera!

via

THIS DOOR! AH-maze.

And let's not forget everyone's favorite Preppy.

So ladies...

What are you loving?

FIVE MONTHS!

This is me....

in FIVE MONTHS!!! Where is time going?!

I am BIG FAT loving that....I'M GETTING MARRIED!! Whoa!

Still trying to wrap my little mind around that! 

 I am loving that it's Wednesday already! SO FREAKIN' HAPPY!

I am loving that I've been crossing things off my wedding to do list left and right......flowers, hotels, buses, photographer, a solid decor plan, bridesmaids dress (I think!) 

I am not loving however, the wait for my dress to come in! 

(Especially since I've had a small panic about possibly choosing the wrong dress after looking back at pics of another dress I tired on and loved.  Ladies...don't do this.  Just delete the pics! I'm sure I made the right choice but I'm just ready to have that baby in my hands so I can make for positive-certain-sure I did!)

I am seriously loving the pics Travis and I took on Saturday!

I am loving Weight Watchers! Just started about a week ago and it's great! 

I would just love to not look like a lard in that dress come October! 

I WISH, however, I was loving the freakin' gym! 

I am loving the thought of road tripping it to FLORABAMA for my bachelorette party in July! Casey is doing all the planning and there's no doubt it'll be spectacular! Love my MOH!

I am loving my precious flower girls.

I am loving what's on me and T's agenda for this weekend! 

We're taking professional engagement pics on Sunday. WOO!

And we're going to Gary Chapman's "A Growing Marriage" seminar! 

Are you a fan? I for sure am! These are a few of his books I'm working on. Seriously, if nothing else just do this assessment.  Not only am I just plain fascinated with his ideas on love (5 Love Languages) but I am super excited about doing this with T who has not once complained even though it'll probably be a perfect Saturday for fishing AND the seminar is in College Station, one of our most hated towns (sorry aggies!) He's a loyal one that boy! Reason number 55673 why I love him. 

I am still loving this house and wishing and praying it will be mine.

And I'm loving all these pins to add even more curb appeal to this already adorable home.

And I'm loving these sweet girls who will not only add massive amounts of curb appeal sitting sweet on that porch but who will also be sisters soon! 

And very random side note...while searching for something to wear today I pulled out these bad boys circa 1999. White Abercrombie and Fitch pants. They were my favorite for evs and they still look just as good as the day I bought them.  Hats off to A&F. I'm def sporting them today. So shame in my game.

I'm loving that (and wondering how on earth) they still fit! Kind of makes me want to peek into Abercrombie, I used to be obsessed with their jeans!

 

Happy Wednesday!
