SOON TO BE MRS. SAPP

If you could choose between the last name of Borton or Sapp, what would you choose??

Well, my very good friend Paige, doesn't have a choice!  Why??? She just got ENGAGED, and will be Mrs. Sapp by next year!!!!!!! (really she does have a choice but for my blog's post we'll pretend she doesn't)

CONGRATULATIONS PAYJEEEEEEEE!!

I met Paige my freshman year in college and we become closer over the years.  We lived together the last 2 years in college and lived together 2 years after college.  I spent many a night hating her for studying just an hour or two to Ace a test while I stayed up all night to scrape by with a B. We share a love for dogs, dip, and our boys.

I will never forget the first night she met her now soon to be husband, Jason.  Ashley, Paige, and I lived together in the Fan in Richmond and Paige decided to go out with her friends Susanne for the night even though she really didn't feel like it.

Ash and I hadn't gone to bed yet before she came home, and I can very distinctly remember Paige running in the door YELLING (if anyone knows Paige, yelling is not an uncommon thing) "I met the CUTEST boy Jason tonight and I HAVE to go out with him again.  He is sooooo good looking".

From there, they started hanging out regularly and she found out Jason is more than just good looks.  For Valentine's Day that year, Jason showed up at the door with not just flowers for Paige, but a rose for Ashley and I.   At that point, Ash and I both said HE'S A KEEPER!

3 years later (I think?), Jason and Paige have made the commitment to be together forever!  Jason proposed to Paige on Sunday at the Clock Tower in Richmond (Paige has loved that place for 20384038 years) and got down on one knee with one beautiful ring!!

See for yourself!

It's a blurry picture, but beautiful nonetheless!  That's 1.2 carats staring back at you!

Paige and Jason will be getting married in July or August or next year and I can't wait to be a part of their big day!  Kristin's wedding will be following shortly after (September 12) and couldn't be happier for her and Mikey.

I loooooove weddings, and I love even more when it's with my closest friends!!

CONGRATULATIONS PAIGE BORTON & JASON SAPP!! Love you both <3

Craft-astic

I don't know why it has taken me so long to discover this website, but now that I've found it, I can't stop.

There are so. many. cute. ideas.

What's the website, you ask?

www.pinterest.com

I'm pretty sure most women knew about this site a year ago.  I heard about it, but never took the time to go to the site and explore.

It's amazing!

There are SO many cute ideas on this website it's insane.

The idea of the website is to "pin" pictures and/or things that interest you onto your boards.  Boards range from recipes to styling to interior design and a whole lot more.

Because I've been on the website a decent amount this week, I wanted to do a little crafting and let my domestic side shine.

First of all, I went to Hobby Lobby & Michael's and got enough stuff to make a fall wreath.  With my 40% coupons and sales, I spent only $30 to make it!

It only took about an hour to put together, and I'm pretty happy with the final result:

Also, I had a strong urge to make Halloween cupcakes, so I grabbed some quick funfetti from Target and whipped some up.  Hobby Lobby had the cutest bone sprinkles which taste pretty freaking good!

We'll end up bringing all of the cupcakes to work because we always eat one or two and then they waste away until I throw them up.  I think our co-workers will enjoy them, too :)

Orange and black cupcake liners!  Halloween funfetti cake!  Orange funfetti icing! Bone sprinkles! Oh my! 

While I'm on the subject of Halloween, I have to say I don't like the person who invented candy corn.  Actually, I love them, but my body doesn't.  I can't stop eating them!!! Why does it have to taste so delicious??? Can't we have holidays without delicious foods being associated with them?
