It's A Boy!!

Surprise! This is the reason I'm so busy! No, I'm not pregnant!! We got a puppy!!!! We have been wanting a dog for soooo long now so we finally found this little guy at a humane society in Georgia. I know right why go all the way to Georgia (I live in Alabama)? My husband wanted a specific breed (boxer), which was fine with me, but my stipulation was it had to be either from a rescue or a humane society. So we used petfinder.com to find a specific breed in an area close to our house. It took a while and we even found another dog that was promised to us and then adopted out to someone else at the last minute (broke my heart). Finally, we found "Caesar" listed for adoption. At the time of the listing he was only like 8 weeks old. He was being fostered out because the humane society he came from is not a "no kill" society, so they foster out to fix this problem. We spoke to his foster mom for a few days and then she decided we should meet, we did and he came home!!!!! We decided to name our new little boy Oliver Grant. It's very sophisticated ;) He is quite possibly the sweetest, smartest, and most cuddly dog I have ever met!!
He's got a tiger brindle coat:
So, you may be wondering what kind of dog he is....basically he's a mutt. He was listed as a boxer mix (which is the breed the hub's wanted), but due to his floppy ears and excess skin we also think he's got a bit of hound in him, he also has a very thick build, so he may also have a dash of pit in him...but he's very sweet. It's hard to tell how big he's going to get but he has huge paws!! In fact, a friend even thought he looked like a bull mastiff! We're thinking about 60 pounds, but all muscle. Tell me what you think he is.

Courtroom Ready

This is actually from Thursday, it's taken me awhile to post because I've been busy, and well I'll explain more tomorrow on the next post!! Very exciting though!! So, today I had to dress kind of boring because we had a mock court case to do as our final for my summer class. I don't think I want to go into what it is I'll be doing in my future career, but I will have to testify as an expert witness every once in a while, so this is supposed to be practice. My professors and professionals in the field, recommend that you dress very simply, I'm actually doing too much here. I will need to invest in a black suit. That's okay though, I felt like I still looked kind of fashionable. In regards to the "trial," they ripped me to pieces!!! We were all told that we did really well, but we all got a little ripped up!!! Anyway, if curiosity is a bit overwhelming, you can message me and I'll tell you secretly what I'm in school for, I just don't want to post it all over the internet!
Today's Outfit:
Black blouse- $10, Ross
Gray skirt- $4, Ross
Red kitten heels- $10, Payless
Long pink earrings- gifted, Claire's
Total Cost: $24
What's that you say? I look different? It could be because I got 14 inches of my hair cut off!! Check it out!
Side view:

Back view:
I love it!!! It's actually a very edgy cut, it's longer on one side than the other, I feel like a badass rocker chick!!

Oh and the shoes of course!

Searching the Inner Me and Chickdowntown Giveaway!!

Finally, It Came!!

Soooo, where have I been right? Well, occasionally I would mention that I was getting married and well it finally happened!!! I'm sorry about the lack of posting leading up to the wedding, but it was quite chaotic for the last two months. I'll tell you though if I knew then what I know now we would have totally eloped!! But that being said it was totally worth it, we had a wonderful day, it was absolutely perfect. I posted a few of the pictures below to give you an idea of my dress, I think eventually I'll post a link so you can view more pictures. I hope you enjoy!
Me and my Momma



We were so excited!! Isn't my husband adorable?!


I actually had some of the material from hemming added to the bust of my dress to try to compensate for all the cleavage. Unfortunately, I'm just incredibly busty, but I think it still looked nice.

The afterglow


Oh I almost forgot, My Outfit:
Dress- $800 (but my parents paid)
Earrings- My mom's
Necklace- My mom's
Bracelet- gifted from my dad (it's Tiffany's!!)

* I know that $800 for a dress, albeit a wedding dress, is a bit much for me, but I'm going to get it hemmed to tea length and wear it all the time!! Keep your eyes out!!
