Frosted Pumpkin Bars

Frosted pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting. I made them yesterday. I will eat them all because they're so yummy and no you can't have any. (Except you, Leanne. Please feel free to take them out of the fridge and eat all you want because I don't need to eat the entire pan.) My recipe is from my grandma, but the Taste of Home recipe is very similar. Make them and thank me later.  Happy Friday!

Wedding Wednesday - Save the Dates

All images from Wedding Paper Divas

Fun wedding update - Kace and I had our engagement pictures done! We have about 800 to go through to pick our favorites before our photographer will edit them and let me show them here, but I'm really excited about how some of them turned out. I made a few fun things specifically for our Save the Dates (I refuse to call them STDs because apparently I have a 12 year old boy's sense of humor and giggle every time I call them that) and the pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. I can't wait to show you them!

Now that the picture is taken care of, I just need to figure out what I want to do for the actual card part. I spent some time perusing the lovelies at Wedding Paper Divas trying to get ideas. Bad idea, because now I have too many!

Falling for Autumn

Have I mentioned how much I love fall? I found this list and I agree with everything on it. Let the autumn festivities continue!

Geeking Out Again - Star Wars Style

We're going to do a 180 and move from wedding talk to Star Wars. Yeah that's right. You know what's awesome? A scene from The Empire Strikes Back done as an old black and white silent movie. Observe:

All that's missing is Charlie Chaplin. Now that you've had your geek fill for the day, it's safe to say these aren't the droids you're looking for. Move along.

Weekend of Wedding Stuff

Last week was crazy stressful at work because of very important meetings with the higher ups which resulted in late hours and early mornings and I pretty much spent the whole weekend trying to recuperate. I think I fell asleep at 10 pm on Saturday night because I am a party animal. I think I spent Saturday in an exhausted fog with the exception of one huge event.

I bought my wedding dress! I wish I could show a picture but certain fiances read this and aren't allowed to see such things. I tried on this dress a few months ago and haven't been able to get it out of my head. It was the dress I compared every other dress to and I'm so excited that it's going to be mine! My grandma and my mom came along with me to the shop, and once we bought the dress the consultant broke out the champagne! That's my kind of bridal store! It's a huge relief to have that crossed off the list. I was starting to panic as time ticked down to the 8 month mark so I'm very happy that I don't have to worry about it anymore!

The rest of my weekend was spend at my cousin's bridal shower, which was an afternoon tea!

Yum.

Lot of eating of tea sandwiches and desserts and drinking of tea happened. I'm so excited for Emily and I can't wait for her wedding this November! 

Also, in unrelated news, when did it become October?!?!
