It seems I took an unintended blogging break last week.
I was on Spring Break and my parents came to visit. We went to Mississippi, shopped, ate and spent lots of time outside.
But now they are back in New York, and I'm back at school, and getting back to blogging!
This layout, featuring lots and lots of Bella Blvd papers + a Project Life Wedding Mini kit card, is about a very very crazy day in New York.
Because AJ and I were getting married back home, but very very far away from where we were living, we had to pack a lot of things into short trips. On this particular day, we had to get our marriage license, have our final meeting with our wedding venue and meet with the priest preforming our wedding ceremony. All before Labor Day weekend started!
I think the journaling explains the hectic day really well :)
"August 30, 2013 was a crazy day. It would be our last chance to do any in person meetings before wedding week! We started off the day by getting lost on our way to the Nassau County Clerks Office to get our marriage license. Once we found it though, everything wen smoothly! Then we headed to Dunkin Donuts for a quick bite to eat. There people there thought it was our wedding day because of our clothes - white lace dress (me) + suit (AJ. We are + drove up to Stewart Manor Country Club to meet with June and Mom. We made our final menu choices (including a quesadilla station for cocktail hour + a pie bar for dessert!), chose our cake (chocolate w/ white chocolate mousse filling) and picked our table linens (napkins that exactly match our bridesmaids dresses - yes please!). Unfortunately, the meeting ran late. We had to leave Mom to finalize the table set up so we could go to St. Rose. We were super late due to traffic on the Southern State. I think Fr. Ken was mad, but he warmed up to us. We went through our ceremony choices, then headed home to go out east."
Fortunately, we got everything done, and had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!
Which is more than I can say for this week. We had a wonderful time, but I definitely didn't get everything done!
How was your Easter or spring break? What did you do?

how fun that your parents came to visit!
super layout
I love how you summed up your day in the layout! You guys did squeeze a lot in each time you visited but being so organized must have helped a lot! We didn't get a spring break (just Good Friday off) but we enjoyed the long-ish weekend and made the best of it!
I am ordering this paper today...I am doing an engagement/wedding album for a co-worker and can't wait to get started! Love all the journaling on your layout and the fun pic!
Whew, that sounds like quite the day! That's so funny Dunkin Donuts thought you had gotten married :) It's totally okay to not have gotten everything done last week, because your parents were in town :).
Such a pretty layout.
I love the soft colours and the photo.
But I really love all the journaling your did and how you did it. So special.
