The Sock Bun
Okay, so I saw this sock bun on Pinterest (If you havn't heard of it, or you have and havn't joined yet, do it now!) and I just had to try it. The first time didn't work out too well because I did it when my hair was dry and it was falling out everywhere. So the second time I tried it, I did it when I got out of the shower so my hair was wet. this worked much better.
Picture I saw...
Cute, right?
Heres mine....
Not too bad, I think it turned out pretty well for my first time around. Next time, I just need to get the part wet thats going in the bun so my hair isn't so flat and stiff!

Spring Break
Spring break was nice AMAZING!
The Saturday after I got home we (mom, Kass and I) decided to go to Davids Bridal and try on wedding dresses for the first time. I knew what kind of dress I wanted but I didn't have the wedding dress lingo down yet so I brought pictures and described it. The girl helping us, Hanna, was great! She pulled out many dresses like the one I described and a couple more styles to try on just for fun. When I put the first one on I got a huge smile on my face, not because I knew it was the dress, but because I had a wedding dress on and I knew this was really happening. I probably tried on 8 or 10 dresses but none of them screamed out THIS IS IT! So, we thanked them for their time and went home.
Then on Sunday I went to a bridal fair at The Links at Gettysburg with my mom, Kassidy, Dianna, and her mom. It was my first bridal fair so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect and I was a little unprepared. I found out about it because I was interested in the venue. It's a beautiful golf course with a stream running through it, a stone bridge, flowers and gorgeous souroundings. As we walked in we were handed a glass of champaigne (which I have to find out what it was called...DELICIOUS), and bags full of papers and magazines. We walked around to all the diferent vendors, trying cakes, looking at flower arrangements & photo albums and talking to DJ & limosine companies. As they were asking me questions I realized I didn't know much about how I wanted my wedding to be, so I just kind of guessed and told them what I thought. Anyways, it was a lot of fun and I have a lot of numbers and new ideas, and I planned to talk to Shane about our wedding so we had a better understanding of what each of us wanted.
On Tuesday night I made an appointment with J&B Bridals in Chambersburg. Once again it was just mom, Kass and I. I knew they had a designer that I loved so I couldn't wait to try on dresses there. This time I had Jami helping me, she picked out so many beautiful dresses. I picked which one I wanted to try on first and once I had it on I thought "this might be the one". I loved it, but I still wanted to try on more because you never know whats going to look good on you. Jami suggested I try on this other style that was very similar but had a slight difference. (I would describe them, but I can't take the chance of Shane seeing this) I didn't think that it would look good on me with my body type but it was very pretty so I gave it a try. To my surprise she was right! I loved this style and this dress even more than the first one. It actually looked amazing with my body type and I was in love! I said "Yes!" We put a down payment on it that night so in a couple of months I can go back and try on MY wedding dress!
On the next couple nights Shane and I just hung out, talked more about wedding plans and what we like. I think we I have picked our colors, a deep pink/watermelon, mint green, and tangerine orange! Bright and Beautiful!
Example of the colors
On Thursday night I decided to go camping with Shane (eeek). Okay, it wasn't that bad! The hike up to the campsite was hard and tireing but I made it, so I was happy. Shane was so excited that I was going with him, since he has been bugging me for forever. We also took Willow with us, which kinda made me feel better about sleeping outside. I helped collect branches to burn and set up the tent. We sat on chairs made out of rocks, listened to music, talked and cooked hotdogs over the fire. All-in-all it was a nice night.
Before going home on Sunday I needed to have some time with my girls, so Friday night Shane and I went to Cancun with Ariel and Shaynna. It wasn't that busy but it was nice to see each other and hang out for a bit. We still got a lot of laughs in.
Love them
Chelsea has a little!
It was that time of the semester, for new girls to come out and join the sorority. I was so excited as this was my frist time watching others join, and then to top it off I became a big sister(within the sorority that is). I was 6th in line to get a little sister and it just so happened that we had 6 girls wanting to join. The night we found out who our littles were, I couldn't wait to start making shirts with letters on them for her. My littles name is Steph and she is the best little I could ever ask for! I am so happy she decided to join and become a part of an amazing family.
Me and Steph the night she got in!
