Color Scheme

Ok so this is a quick little post but its wedding related. I know that when I say my color scheme for the Wedding is Yellow and Coral, its not exactly coral but when I say "Orange" most people (without knowing) make a cringe look to on their face, which is understandable because most of the time your thought goes directly to pumpkin orange or something to that taste. So I decided to post the picture I found that gave me the idea of my color scheme. Its not really coral or orange its kind of in between. But this is how I want my tables decorated and the colors I am going for throughout the wedding.

These are the bridesmaids dresses for the wedding! They are so cute in person too! When I go to Jacksonville this weekend part of the fabric I will be looking for is Carly and Jenny's sash so they can stand out a little more, since they are the Maid and Matron of honor.

If you guys can't tell I'm getting more into the wedding planning or at least the idea making. I now have less than 8 months to plan all the rest of the stuff. Where has the time gone?! I still can't get over that this is the last week of October!

Well this concludes (for now) my wedding post :)

8 Months until I'm Mrs. Lawrence!!!

Oh my goodness I looked at the date and realized 8 months from TODAY Eric and I will be getting Married! I'm getting sooo excited and can't wait to be Chelsea Faye Lawrence!!! Yes if you have noticed I am keeping my middle name. I love it and everyone always calls me "Chelsea Faye".



So no new plans have been made for the Wedding...yet! This coming weekend me, my mom, grandma and Kahla are going to Jacksonville to pick out fabric for the benches at Camp, Sashes for my Maid and Matron of honor (to make them stand out a little) and for the Quilt! I'm excited to pick out fabric!

This past Friday my dad came down to have lunch with me! I was so excited to see him because we haven't seen each other in awhile. So we ate lunch at the Mongolian Grill then went to the Elk's Lodge, because he hasn't seen it yet. Talked to the woman that will be in charge of all the food, decorating and everything else regarding my Wedding Reception. It was a lot of fun! Our visit was too short, but any visit is better than none at all! After daddy headed back to Clayton I had a hair appointment at 3:30 with Sarah :) I decided to go darker and get more layers and BANGS :) I LOVE my dark hair! Makes it look shiny and healthy!

Eric came home this past weekend!! :)We went to the movies Saturday night in Havelock, to see "Saw V" it was good, although it wasn't my favorite out off all the Saw movies. All I can say is that they left it open to have yet another Saw movie!

This entry was just to post that we have 8 months left until the big day and I have LOTS of planning to still do! AGH!! But excited to do it all at the same time! Plus to show off my new hair color :)

I hate Mondays they are soooooooooo boring!

Halloween is in the Air....

This past weekend I drove to VA to spend the weekend with my honey :) I was needing a mini-vacation before next week, and all of my hectic schedule! So I took a half-day at work on Thursday and all of Friday off. It was just what I needed! We hung out with each other, watched a lot movies, went walking and carved our first pumpkin!!! It was so much fun. Below are pictures of the progress of the pumpkin carving! Neither one of us have carved a pumpkin without parental control, soo its been awhile haha! Eric found an excuse to use his jack-knife tool thing, which actually made the process a lot easier! We had a lot of fun creating a design for the pumpkin and then actually creating the pumpkin! We know its a little early to carve a pumpkin, since they do not last but a few days after you have carved them, but he won't be home for Halloween.

I am not looking forward to my busy schedule this week! School is going to be the death of me just this week! I have roughly 15 accounting problems and a midterm due this week. There are a few things I am looking forward to though. I am photographing someones engagement photos on Wednesday and their Wedding on Saturday. I'm also working back at Sandi's part time to just help fill in, and this weekend I'm working both Saturday and Sunday. I'm just a little busy this coming week haha. So this past weekend was definitely needed.

I hope everyone enjoys our pumpkin :)

We had to go to the Post Office on Saturday morning so instead of driving we decided to just walk there, because it wasn't that far and it was such a beautiful day. We also went around town to a few of the Antique Shops and low and behold we found ELVIS! Eric was NOT impressed to have his picture taken with him hahaha!!

Veranda, Villanova, and Bike Riding :)

This past weekend was the 22nd Seafood Festival. Yes, I said 22nd, I am OLDER than the Seafood Festival. OK I will digress! The weather held up beautifully all weekend long for all the tourists and locals to enjoy the great food and music.

Saturday in the Oyster Rock Pub (aka "Beer Tent") Kahla's dads band "Veranda" played at 2. We went there and listened to the sounds of some Classic Rock :) We were very excited to see our friend Lauren HANCOCK, she came down for the festivities. It was like old times just us three girls hanging out. After the band played their last song around 4, Kahla and I ventured out to get us some food! We went for the traditional Shrimp Burger from our ECHS booth and then the Funnel Cake from the Sanitary, YUMMY to both! Then we headed home.

After Kahla and I rested up for a few hours we headed back to the Seafood Festival around 7 p.m. to hang out with Eric's Aunt Faye and Uncle Ted on their houseboat. It was such a fun little time :) One thing is for sure when you get on their houseboat you will NEVER say you are hungry, because she will ALWAYS have something AWESOME cooking in the galley! She grilled Shrimp, Scallop, Pineapple, Onions, and Green Pepper Kabobs! Talk about some delicious food! After we ate and visited for awhile. The band "Villanova" was playing in the "Beer Tent" at 8! This band came highly recommended by my friend Taylor Willis. He saw them in SC and just loved them! I have been listening to their CD for a couple of weeks now and just love their sound as well. So we get there and the place just started getting packed by such a variety of people. The band was even better in person than on the CD! They played not only their own music but some remakes they have done by Prince and Justin Timberlake! I don't know specifically their genre but I'm going to go with a little Rock mixed with Blues and Hip Hop :)

Around 9sh we headed back to the houseboat to watch the fireworks. They were probably the best I've seen them in a long time!

Sunday, Kahla and I opted for Bicycle Riding on the Beautiful day! The weather was perfect. We borrowed her Aunt and Uncles bicycle, as neither of us have owned a bike since we were real little. We went all around Beaufort that afternoon. I think we calculated 6 1/2 miles! Needless to say my booty was in a little pain come Monday morning haha! So we have told ourselves that things we will look for when we purchase cruisers: Baskets, Cup Holders, and Soft WIDE seats haha :) :)

The last few pictures are of my two cats, Tigger and Smudgie. They do NOT enjoy when I start putting props on them to take pictures. But I had to share just 2 of the photos of them with flowers in their collars :)

So to sum up the weekend, it was a fun, semi-relaxing, eventful weekend. I Love good ol' Carteret County. There is no place like it!

Engagement Party :)

On Saturday my sister, Carly and my good friend Kahla hosted an Engagement Party for myself and Eric. It was a backyard bbq (pig bbq that is hehe). The decorations were so cute and the food was overwhelming. It was such a great party and I can't Thank them enough for doing this for us. It meant so much to Eric and I that they did this. It was so great just seeing everyone together and mingling and getting along. I am a social kind of gal so this party was a lot of fun to me. I want to Thank Everyone who went, I had a blast!

Below are lots of pictures from the party please enjoy :) :)
