Started off Yesterday morning with a cappuccino and then hit the road to St. Petersburg. It is always nice to go home and see family and friends, and I am really getting sick and tired of Gainesville. It is weird that after only 3 1/2 years here I am so ready to get out! There are some of my friends who tell me they never want to leave and I look at them like they are crazy every time. I am just over doing the school thing, I really can't wait till the day I can go to work and come home and not have to worry about school or tests or papers...oh, what a glorious day that will be!


Once on the road, Puma and I shared the next  2 1/2 hours of highway blaring and jammin' out to country music. Once home, I was able to drop off Puma at my parents' and then my mom and I were off to the florist for our first consultation!! :)


Our florist is RedmanSteele. Can I express how extremely excited I am!! After discussing the flowers that we will be using throughout the ceremony, reception and all of the bouquets, I think that it is going to be absolutely beautiful, with a vintage and classy feel.

Here is a little sneak peak of what some of the flowers will look like:

Bridesmaids bouquets will be something like this...
