Summer Lovin'

As most have probably assumed, this summer has been extremely busy and completely flown by. We must begin this post once again, by apologizing for the long period without a blog post! However, that does mean that there's plenty for us to talk about now! 

Over the summer we spent a bit of our time traveling. We found ourselves in Nashville, TN and the beautiful Siesta Key, FL. We had an absolute blast in Nashville. We were down there during the weekend of the CMA Music Fest, which was an awesome experience. Although we took this spontaneous trip with only a week to plan, we had an awesome experience. We were not able to attend any of the concerts because they were almost sold out for the mo
st part. However, we did tour the FanFair exhibit. At this exhibit we got to tour Trace Adkins tour bus, which was most definitely a highlight!

We also found Frenchie's Boot Shop. Now, this experience truly taught us the meaning of don't judge a book by it's cover. When standing outside of Frenchie's, and really just considering the name... it doesn't sound too appealing. However, we walked inside and to boot lovers like us, it was heaven on earth! 




Our Siesta Key trip was also nothing short of amazing. We traveled to Siesta Key with Ross' family for a week. Unlike last year, we were lucky enough not to be stuck in the middle of Hurricane Sandy. The weather was beautiful! We spent all week laying on the beach, and swimming in the ocean. The highlight of our vacation was definitely renting the paddle surf board. 




Now I'm sure you're all sick of hearing about our summer adventures and are probably more interested in how the wedding plans are coming, since that is the topic of this blog... 
We have purchased our drink charms that say Mr. & Mrs., a hanger for my wedding dress that says "Mrs. Braun," and our save the dates! :) We have begun purchasing materials for our wedding favors, and have officially decided on our centerpieces. We will be crafting all night on August 16th, with all of the beautiful ladies involved in our wedding to try to get a large portion of our decorations made. 

Ross has made an executive decision for the reception all by himself. For all of you Texas Roadhouse and peanut lovers out there, you should be excited. We will have large barrels of peanuts at our reception, with peanut shells all over the floor! 

We will be hanging out with Ms. Rachel Rector again on Monday to get some more engagement shots to use for our wedding! 

Our countdown is quickly shrinking, and we now only have 284 days until the wedding! 

p.s., THE BIGGEST DECISIONS OF ALL HAVE BEEN MADE! 
My wedding dress has been chosen, and we have both picked out our wedding rings! :)
