Guess who's back?

Jamie's Back!

Man, that song totally reminds me of my young (23ish) outlandish ways when my girlfriends and I would go to Chester's Drawers, request Eminem and then dance the night away on "the box." Still to this day whenever I hear the first few beats of that song, I automatically look for a girlfriend and an elevated platform to shake it. Sigh...my young and wild ways.

So, I started in the world of blogging and then I abruptly left. I left without word, without a goodbye, without a note of where I was going. And now I stand on the blogging doorstep soaking wet looking sullen and asking if I can come back. Where did I go you ask? Geez, I guess I need an explanation, but I have to say, that I have none. The problem was that I still like my wedding was SOOOO far away, and I felt like I was starting to obssess, and...we'll here's the embarrassing part, I didn't feel like I was good enough. I mean, who wanted to read about me and my wedding? Who would give a hooter about the homemade things I made or planned on making? But after a few months and some wedding soul searching I realized two things, I need to do this for me and if I can help one girl lost on the Internet searching for wedding ideas, well gosh darn, that was good enough. So I'm sorry I left, but I'm glad I'm back.

So I have some catching up to do....and that means I get to post on all the fun and not so fun I've been having. That also means that I will have to start taking more pictures! I know, even though my cutie fiance is half Asian, we are not picture taking peeps.

To start things off here are some deets:

We finally, finally, finally picked colors! YAY! I know it sounds insignificant, but we went through several rounds of colors including: blue, green and tan, blue, yellow and white, and on and on and on. At the very beginning Dan had one request, Absolutely NO pink. Ok, I thought, I'm not a huge pink (or girly girl) person so that should be easy. But then as I thought about it and our colors got set on Dark Blue and Grey well, I needed to inject some sort of girly fun into the mix. And well what did I pick? HOT PINK of course! It took a little convincing, but after a trip to our local Lowes to show him paint chip ideas and once I found an amazing room in Domino magazine, well, he was sold. YAY!

Navy Blue, Steel Grey and HOT PINK!

It makes me giddy every time I think about it, and I am not a giddy-gidderson! Just a goofball extraordinaire. Anyone else end up with a wedding color that was once forbidden?
