Joe is HOME! I picked him up from the airport around 6:30 this morning and he is just as cute as I remember:) Yea, I may have missed him a little a lot!!! I really didn't get a chance to talk with him because he was exhausted from an overnight flight, I was tired from getting up so early & he raced off to work as so as we got home but I packed him a lunch and sent him on his way. He even got me a present from Alaska! It's an Under Armor Jacket which I won't be able to wear it until Fall/Winter comes around but I love it! He is such a thoughtful person:)
This weekend I went home since I can't handle being in the house by myself for more than one night at a time. After work on Friday I went straight to my cousin Cody's grad party. Grad party food = delicious. He's headed off to UMD (where I went!) and know he will have lots of fun and do great! I gave him some good advice like take advantage of all college has to offer - meet new people, attend school/sporting events, enjoy every moment, even finals week.
Saturday Sadie and I headed off to Duluth to run some errands. I had to get more fabric for another project I was working on and then went to Michael's to get a few things for our cake topper. (Pictures to come!). Our last stop was to Ulta. Ulta is a huge makeup store and I am in desperate need of help when it comes to that department. Sadie found someone to help me figure out what to wear for the big day and uunfortunately she put on a ton of makeup. More than the "light, summery, fresh" look I was going for and I walked out looking like this...
I don't even look like myself (or maybe it's just a bad picture of myself) and I had about four layers on my face alone. I had to wash my face twice before I got remotely close to getting all the makeup off. For a girl who wears little makeup to having more products on her face than she can count with BOTH hands...let's just say I'll be sticking to the saying, "Less is More". Here's a couple more pictures of Sadie on her second wind at Michael's.
Back to my DIY escapade. Sadie and I spent some time at Hancock Fabrics to find a few more fabrics for the bunting banners I want to make. Sadie was a great help and we found some keepers. Three yards of fabric, a few more smaller squares and bias tape all for a grand total of $28. Score! It may have taken me four hours to cut everything and pin for my grandma to sew together but I love the banners so far!

This last banner is a little different than the rest. I originally was going to do one that said "thank you" for when we send out our thank you's but then I remembered seeing a banner that said "mr and mrs". So as you can see, I have two spaces for the mr and three for the mrs. If I change my mind there are enough pendants to write thank you as well.
