New Years!

I am going to write down some goals for the new year! 

My main goal is to stop comparing myself to others. I am really bad at this. I have no idea how to go fix this. I just need to remember I am me and I can try my hardest to make the best decisions for me. 
Goal #2
Stop complaining so much. 
I have noticed myself complaining about my job a lot lately. I definitely have a lot of frustrations with it and instead of holding it in and being mad about it, I just need to talk to someone who can tell me why they are doing certain things and give my advise on what I think they should do. I am grateful I have a job!
Goal #3
Of course you have to have a physical health goal. We all want to loose weight. I don't really weigh myself but I would like to loose body fat and some cloths sizes. My goal is to choose healthier foods. I already go to the gym and love it now I just need to eat right. 

So for you readers, I ask you to help me stay accountable with my goals! Maybe sometimes ask me how I am coming along with them ;)

Here comes the bride!

I wasn't really nervous to get married until I looked out the window and saw everyone sitting down. 

My heart was beating fast and I could tell my face was pale. I walked out the front door with my bridesmaids and saw my dad waiting for me. 
I can't even explain what I was feeling! Everything went so fast and seemed like a big blur!
Time to start...

This picture makes me want to cry. I love my dad!

I really hope this is Zach's face when I was walking up the aisle but like I said, everything happened so fast I don't remember what he was doing! Ahh!

I giggled the whole ceremony and Zach was nervous so he was just looking up. 


I now pronounce you Mr and Mrs Smith, you may kiss your bride. 

I love this picture! All smiles and so in love.

Meet the wedding party!

Here are all the wonderful people we chose to be part of our wedding!

We will start with the ladies...


Maid of honor is my sister. She was my biggest supporter through out the whole process of wedding planning. I could not have done it without her!

My best friend! I was glad to have her here with me on this special day and can't wait to be with her on her day when it happens!


Zach's sister was able to come celebrate with us! We were so happy to have her here. 

Zach's niece was the flower girl. She was so fun!

All the girls wore cowboy boots. 



Now the men!

Zach's best friend was best man. 

Zach's brother and the flower girls dad. 

Zach's younger brother. 

Our co worker and great friend married us. He was the person responsible for getting us to hang out for the first time!

Some more of our family and support system!


I would not have chosen any one else to be by our sides on this day. Thank you I everyone!

Wedding Decorations

love everything about the wedding decorations! I wanted a country/rustic themed wedding and I think everything went together perfectly! We didn't buy our decorations, we rented them. I suggest everyone do this unless they have plans for everything after the wedding is over! We used MyEventRental. Kathy was amazing to work with and she is so nice!

These are horse shoes welded together. Zach's dad made them for us. It was my favorite decoration!

I bought this chalk board from Joann's. I had a 50% off coupon and I think it cost $15 after the coupon. 

My sister made these for my bridal shower and I loved them so much I asked her if I could have them for the wedding!

Zach's mom and step dad bought the straw for us because they have horses and could use it after the wedding. I bought the letters from Joann's also an wrapped them in twine. 


My friend Shaliece had this pillow made for us, I love it!

These chairs were perfect for the wedding! They were painted to look vintage and I loved them!

Zach made fun of this decoration. It was not anything like a real hitching post but it was still cute! 

Our back drop was amazing! 

We had her put up lights across our yard so when the sun went down there was still light. I wanted to keep them. 


I'm so sad that we didn't get pictures of the tables! We had round tables with ivory linens. Over the linen we had a burlap and lace runner. So cute!

For the guest book I wanted something other then a book. We had to rip down our fence and put up a new one so I decided to use a piece of our old fence. I painted it. 

My mom wanted to put up some balloons to direct everyone to the right house. This picture is cute with the lights in the background. 

Out table center pieces. 

The chair ties.
