tailgate celebrations

Do you know that new song by Carrie Underwood "Mama's Song"?? Well it makes me cry everytime I hear it on the radio. It's so beautiful and so true. I'm not one for living my life through music but this one just hits me.

This is the time in my life I've dreamed and prayed about for years. The time has come.

And now it's time to CELEBRATE!

So I threw on my orange party dress {page, don't kill me, I'm engaged :) !!} and we hit the town! On Saturday we had the best day toasting and celebrating with friends and family. Mr. Mica was sweet enough to share his birthday tailgate with us. David and I both had friends coming by the tailgate but I had no clue how meaningful their visits were going to be until he popped the question!

And I can't believe it's already Wednesday - and it's been 5 whole days. I must say things are moving quickly and we're both exhausted but all in the name of matrimony bliss!

with my fiance and our sleepy eyes - we were up way too early!
