I'm Back!

Oh, wow...

It's my first day back to blogging in almost two weeks!

I can't believe I've been gone for this long.

A LOT has happened.

I'm talking a LOT!!

We'll get to that later.

Right now, I need your help.

Ashley's Bride Guide is having a contest.

They want to know who Nashville's Best Bridal Blogger is.

You can vote for me...or your other favorite!

Just head over here and vote for me if I'm your favorite.

And, if I'm not your favorite, please DO vote for your favorite.

We all work very hard to blog about weddings and would love to know what you think!

You gals {and guys?} are fabulous!

Be Back Soon

Mr. GrapeJuice and I moved into our new home.

We don't have Internet yet.

I'll be back as soon as we do!!

Bridesmaid Dress

Long ago...

in the summer of 2009...

in the prime of my engagement...

I thought the dress below was absolutely perfect.

Now...

when I look at it...

it looks terribly structured and uncomfortable.

I have now found the dress below.

It looks sooooo comfortable and New-Years-Eve-party ready!

The criss-cross pattern echos the similar style on my gown.

And, I think the little flower on the shoulder strap is super sweet!

The dress also comes in gray, but it's not as va-va-voom! as the dress is in blue.

Musical Monday - Train

This song is unlike any of their other songs.

It's more upbeat and fresh.

It's perfect for Spring and Summer...and especially moving into a new home!

Your lipstick stains on the front lobe of my left side brains
I knew I wouldn't forget you
And so I went and let you blow my mind
Your sweet moving
The smell of you in every single dream I dream
I knew when we collided you're the one I have decided
Who's one of my kind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Just in time, I'm so glad you have a one track mind le me
You gave my life direction
A game show love connection, we can't deny
I'm so obsessed
My heart is bound to beat right out my untrimmed chest
I believe in you, like a virgin, you're Madonna
And I'm always gonna wanna blow your mind

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Well you can cut a rug
Watching you is the only drug I need
So gangster, I'm so thug
You're the only one I'm dreaming of
You see I can be myself now finally
In fact there's nothing I cant be
I want the world to see you'll be with me

Hey soul sister, ain't that mister mister on the radio, stereo
The way you move ain't fair you know
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight
Hey soul sister, I don't wanna miss a single thing you do tonight

Happy Easter

I just wanted to take a quick moment and wish everyone a Happy Easter!

I hope you enjoy your day filled with Easter egg hunting, candy, ham, and lots of other goodies.

A Request

On this beautiful Friday, I have a quick request to make of all you lovely ladies {and gentlemen?}.

Times are tough, and the school that I teach at is feeling that burden.

We are not a public school; we are private and rely heavily on tuition and registration.

So, during this Easter season, if you could take just a moment to pray {or think, if you're not inclined to pray} about our little school.

If we don't get many more students, I may be out of a job and the school I once attended as a child might slowly drift away.

Mr. GrapeJuice and I are worried because we are closing on our house one week from today, and now, we don't know if I'll be employed in 3 months.

I'd really appreciate just a little thought up to God about keeping the school in good graces so that we can continue to teach children.

Every little bit helps!

I just want to say a quick thank you to everyone who made my day special yesterday! It was one of the best birthdays I've had. It was very real, and I felt loved. So, thanks!
