Furry Friday

A funny thing happened in our home Tuesday evening.  Toby went on a hunt!  He was on the hunt for a specific toy, which unfortuntely was burried in a toy basket.  I must confess, over the course of being Toby's owner/mom I have used any excuse possible to buy him a new toy, typically of the stuffed variety.  Christmas, obvious!  Running into the store to buy some treats, sure!  Browsing an online dog boutique, yes!  Birthday, well duh!  ...you get the point.  I understand it may seem a bit oh, excessive, lol but I love him and gladly spoil him.

While he has a main little toy bin of his favorites in our family room, he has an overflow basket behind our main couch that he will occationally pull things out of, but this night he had his sights set on getting that darn floppy moose!  He proceeded to drag his toy basket from behind the couch - tugging on the leg of said moose - and refused to give up on getting his prize.  I did actually video tape this for my own amusement, because well - I love him and his funny quirks!   

He did eventually dig it out play with it for a hot second - seriously, for all that work you'd think he'd be playing with it for the rest of the evening - but he was over it and went back to one of his usual favs within a few minutes.  Below is a little timeline of events. ;)

My first inkling of what was up...

Still tugging on to the rug...

Starting to take other toys out to get to the goods...so many to choose from!

The moose has been captured!  Play time!

Look what I did mom! <3

Does your pet do anything crazy?  Do you shower your pet with gifts? haha

Throwback Thursday - My Wedding

My first blog #TBT!  haha

It is CRAZY to me that this weekend marks 1 year of blissful marriage with my amazing husband!  I think back to this time last year, and it is a bit of a blur of final preparations and good times with good people.

We opted to have a small wedding - as in an invite list of 35 of our nearest and dearest - and it.was.PERFECT. I couldn't have asked for a better day, with better people to start a new chapter in my life with my the man I love. <3

We got married at a lovely garden center, terrain.  If you're a fan of Anthropologie, you may have heard of it, as it's part of the URBN family.  It was the perfect rustic spot for our nuptials, where I got to add my own DIY touches, and it exceeded my expectations in terms of how I pictured my wedding day.

In honor of that - here are a few snapshot of the day.  Honestly...this was hard.  I love ALL of our photos.  This is one reason we haven't finalized our official album yet, because I cannot cut them down.  We've discussed maybe making this weekend THE weekend so we can actually get our pictures chosen, we shall see.  Photography was by the wonderful ladies (we actually used associates to save a lil $$) at Love Me Do Photography - they are all fab and do amazing work!   

Getting dolled up with Toby.

My ladies!

Our "first look" before the ceremony.

Our family!

One of my DIY projects - honey that was served during Cocktail Hour, that I jarred and tied tags to as favors.

Bridal party!

My mom actually took this one...it's one of my favs with Toby.  He's smiling. =)

Dad <3

Fun with maids...

...fun with the mens.

?

We had a sparkler sendoff, it was awesome.

 
After our wedding we met up with a group of friends at a local restaurant/bar, so even though we had an intimate wedding, we still got to celebrate with friends...and keep the party going!

With wedding season upon us (Fun fact: In 2013 we had 10 weddings over the course of the year between our friends and family...this year we will only be attending 1. lol) Do you have any weddings coming up?  Do you have a favorite wedding you've attended?

Wordless Wednesday

My hubs made me lunch today. He is the sweetest!
