It's an entirely different thing to have your wedding in a rented house beach. So in preparation for our three day rental, we've been packing up things that we may need including all the things we need for the day of.

Red-faced mini pecan tarts
I brought my mom along to the post office yesterday. That was a mistake. While speaking to the counter person, my mom went on to relay to him about the events happening in the next few days.

My new internet obsession
A few years ago, I couldn't get enough of Cute Overload. Last fall, I spent my evenings watching the puppy cam on The Daily Puppy.
