FREAK OUT!!

>> Tuesday, September 9, 2008

OMG! I lost my ring this morning, yep I can't believe it. It all started last night when I cooked dinner and removed it to run my hand around in bowl of boneless chicken breasts. I cooked dinner, washed dishes and took a bath with my ring still in the kitchen. I went to bed and woke up this morning at about 2 a.m. to head to the ladies room. I finally noticed that my ring wasn't on my finger, EEEEK!!! So I go in search in a sleepy stupor, and found it where I left it on the counter in the kitchen. I went back to bed and got up this morning to get my daughter ready for school, I took my ring off again to put gel on her curls and I didn't want my ring to get sticky. Well we were running late and I was rushing out the door and left my ring on the bed (or at least I thought). Again I didn't notice until I got to work and my finger was bare once again! I called my fiance who didn't answer the phone because he was still sleeping. After 15 calls he sleepily answered the phone and asked what was wrong and I broke the bad news that I had lost my ring!
At this point I was somewhat calm because I said I left it on the bed. He searched and it was nowhere to be found in our bed. OK, so total anxiety is now settling in and I am shaking like a leaf on a tree. He said he would search for it and call me back. I hung up and waited all of 2 seconds and called him back. He went downstairs and it was on the kitchen counter. I must have left it there while cooking breakfast, the funny thing is I don't remember picking it up off the bed. During my lunch break and I went and purchased two ring stands, one for downstairs and one for upstairs where I will put my ring when I need to take it off!

Good Morning!

>> Tuesday, September 2, 2008

As I checked my email this morning, I came across a video from Good Morning Yahoo. It was explaining how to cut costs for your wedding. Now I am all about saving money and still have a great wedding, but I have to say that I do not agree with one detail that they mentioned. Their advice was to cut photography costs by hiring new photographers, WHAT!?!? I would feel so uneasy that day not knowing if the new photographer will know what to do in a high stress situtation such as a wedding. What if he/she has never photographed a wedding before, oh my I would just be a basketcase.

Now I'm a DIY bride and I want to cut costs for my wedding as well but my fiance and I have already set the budget to not skimp on great food & photography. I will be making my invitations, centerpieces, placecards, table numbers, menus, programs, etc. So tons of money will be saved by making these items myself but I refuse to cut whats most important to us and that's food and capturing our memories forever!

Busy, Bee!

>> Sunday, August 31, 2008

It's been a while since my last check in, sorry! I work for a broadcasting station that houses five, yep that's 5 radio stations, so I get a little busy sometimes. Anywhoo, I worked on another monogram, I love it! I have since purchased 5 cylinder vases for our centerpieces, we need 12, but I found them at a discount store for $7 and I will just keep checking for more to come in.

Our Monograms......

>> Wednesday, August 13, 2008

Our monograms were made by me, thanks to BriannaNichole! Her Adobe Photoshop tutorials are amazing and very easy to follow. I love the fact that she has screen shots along with samples of the process. I have had Adobe Photoshop CS for about a year and this is the first time that I have actually used it to create graphics.

My Color Palette.....for now!

>> Tuesday, August 12, 2008

Since getting engaged I have had a lot of thought about color. Since our wedding is in March I knew I wanted a palette with green in it. I don't paticularly care for emerald green but I love lime green. So for now our color palette is Chocolate Brown, Champagne & Lime Green. Here is a color palette I threw together to give you an idea of colors.

It Starts With My Dream Ring......

>> Monday, August 11, 2008

I'm Jeana and this is my journey to the alter. Since getting engaged on 7/16/08 I have been so happy and excited about planning our wedding! This blog is for my family, friends and the many strangers who I will graciously accept helpful information, ideas and encouragement from. This is only the beginning because our wedding date is not until March 27, 2010(my late fathers birthday). I chose this date because my father could not be here with me in the flesh, I will honor him by marrying on his birthday!


The reason for the name of my blog is because of my engagement ring. I have waited 8 years to get engaged. So throughout those eight years I sent hint after hint that I love Tocori jewelry, I love the handcrafted work on each ring. I also hinted that I love aquamarines, even though diamonds are a girls best friend, I love different and aquamarines have just always been my favorite. It is also my dads birthstone and we are getting married in March (how neat!) see the pattern?

I plan to write daily if possible but if I skip a day forgive me!!
