After Christmas Shopping

Also known as birthday present ideas

Mann Wedding

Sometimes I still need to pinch myself, am I really planning my wedding??  The wedding I have already planned on pinterest, blog stalking and looking through magazines.  My wonderful photographer bought me this gorgeous book from Style Me Pretty. 

Rachel Solomon, my photographer, knows my style sooo well.  After getting this amazing book, every night I would snuggle into bed and read about all the details on 2-3 weddings.  By now everyone knows how much I LOVE weddings and planning a celebration for Tommy and I.  This book had my head spinning in a good way.  

Only 139 days till we start the rest of our lives together.

Swinging

There is nothing quite like getting spoiled by your Mimi and Papa at the park.  

There is nothing Cade likes more than a goofy little social game.  

There is nothing better than getting "I love you" voicemails from Cade.  

Snackie and Uncle Tommy can't wait to spoil him on Christmas Eve.

Wedding Planning has been sooo much fun.  But is anyone really surprised to see me type that, I have always loved weddings.  If I could have a part time job, it would definitely be wedding planner.  We are continuing to check things off the to do list.  The first thing we tackled was the photographer.

We fell in Love with our photographer, when she wanted to meet at Cartel.  She personalized everything to Tommy and I and made it super special.  In early December we did our engagement photos and Tommy was completely comfortable.

On the drive home that Tuesday night, Tommy actually looked at me and said "I can't wait to see those pictures".  Check success for Rachel Solomon Photography.

Last Home Game

As always another football season flew by.  Don't tell Tommy but I am ready to have our weekends back to relax and save some money for the wedding.  While I LOVE college football, the last home game is always bitter sweet.  We had a blast watching the Sun Devils take down Washington State from the sideline.  Now we are anxiously awaiting our Bowl Game Spot, hopefully we get something good.  Goooo Devils!

Too cute and he knows it

Notre Dame

Emmy Bean came to visit not too long after the big proposal.  Emmy and Mike couldn't make it to NYC due to a new job, so it was perfect that ASU played Notre Dame in one of the biggest games of the season.  

The boys enjoyed their sideline passes while Emmy and I got to spend some quality time together, screaming our heads off for the Sun Devils.  Some things never change.

The tailgate was the biggest of the season, packed with lots of old college buddies.  We had a great time catching up and things couldn't have been better when we pulled out another ASU victory.

We topped off a great weekend with a little brunch before the Slates boarded a freezing plane back to the tundra we call Minnesota.  The weekend always goes by way to fast, but with plans for a shower and a wedding I knew we would see each other soon.

See you in February Emmy Bean!  Stay warm until then.
