Weekend Recap

I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, despite the COLD weather! Holy cow. Kyle and I were leaving for our Valentine’s Day dinner plans when all of the sudden we realized we were driving on ICE after a random blizzard came through! Haha! Kyle treated me to Claire’s at the Depot and all I can say is that it was AMAZING. I realized this was our third Valentine’s Day together … gosh, time has FLOWN by! Looking forward to many more Valentine’s Days together in the future, whether it is a pizza night on the couch or a fancy dinner. 🙂 I love him so much and appreciate his thoughtfulness! If you are ever in the Warrenton, VA area be sure to check out Claire’s at the Depot! We throughly enjoyed our stay until they were practically closed! Amazing food and service! 🙂

This week, I am placing in the final images and having my mom proof read the content. Once that is finalized, it is ready for PRINT! Excited to share this valuable information with my couples before their wedding day! <3 Here’s a sneak peek of one of the pages of the magazine … one little snippet of 35 pages! Didn’t realize how fast it would be to fill up a 35 page magazine with content and images!

Not sure if there are any snow lovers here, but I am SO pumped for this potential snow storm heading straight for us! Where I am, we are anticipating 10 inches! Hopefully this still means I’ll be able to get around after Wednesday … I guess we will see! If you don’t see me blogging tomorrow or Wednesday, it’s not because I’m purposefully not blogging. It may mean that my internet is out and I have no forms of posting! Welcome to my world of living in the mountains/middle of nowhere! 😉 Happy Monday!!!
