Bridal Shower!

So my best friend is getting married, which is the main reason I went down to SoCal this past weekend... it was her bridal shower! It was really fun. I've only been to one bridal shower before this and I was only 13 or 14 when I went so I barely remember it.

My best friend's sister, who is the maid of honor, was the one who put the whole thing together. It was Hawaiian themed but not luau. I'm so sad I didn't take any pictures of the set up because it was beautiful. The picture shown is kind of how it was set up but not exactly. The bowl was filled with water and had tea candles in it. It was gorgeous!

There were games of course! The first game was "how well do you know the bride & groom" and I won that one! The other two were making a cake out of candy and making a wedding dress out of toilet paper (which my group won). Overall, I had a great time and it was nice seeing everyone! After the shower, my best friend, her family, and myself all went out to dinner. It was nice spending time with her!

The actual wedding is on April 14 so I'll be heading down again around that time. I still need to get my dress fitted. I'm going to do that this weekend. The dress is at the shop but I haven't been able to go over there to get it sized. This will be only the second wedding I've ever been to and first one I'm in! I'm definitely excited and can't wait to see my best friend get married!

Mini Vacation

So this weekend I'm heading down to southern California for my best friend's bridal shower. I'm leaving tomorrow morning and I'll be back on Tuesday afternoon. Just a quick vacation! I'm excited to see my friends and family though. I haven't seen them since last summer. I'm actually getting ready to head to the airport now!

I am finally feeling better after the flu hit me. I still have a little runny nose and a cough but I'm at least able to go to work and move around. I was so weak and tired before that it was a chore just to go to the bathroom. I passed the bug on to my mom and I felt so bad... especially since her birthday was on Monday and she was sick! We were all too sick to do anything for her birthday so next weekend we will be going out for dinner.  

Do you have any plans for the long weekend? Well, it's a long weekend here because of President's day! Hope you all have a great weekend!

ABC's of me!

Saw Brandi & Nic do this so I figured I'd do mine since this is a new blog!

I - Instruments you play(ed): Piano!

Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with.

And she moves to Blogger...

Well, I am going to give Blogger a try. I've used it in the past but never seriously got used to it since I've been using WP since forever. I'm not sure if I like this layout 100% so if you can suggest Blogger designers I would appreciate it.

I'm going to start posting more. I have some blog ideas that I'm going to start working on soon. I also am going to be doing a couple of giveaways! I am going to be giving away a book about blogging and also may partner up with Chevrons & Anchors to host a giveaway here! Look forward to all this stuff in the coming weeks.

Can't wait to start blogging more!

Long Weekend

I had a long weekend this past weekend in honor of Martin Luther King Jr. day so my mom and I had some fun! On Saturday, we did some shopping. I'm going to be in a wedding in April so we went shoe shopping for my shoes to wear with my dress. My dress is black with a charcoal grey belt so I wanted to get some black shoes. We went to Macy's and I couldn't find anything so I figured I'd check Payless. I only plan on wearing the shoes for the wedding since I don't wear heals too often so I figured this would be my best bet. I had a great shopping trip at Payless! I found the perfect shoes to match my dress and they were only $19.99! Can't beat that. Here are the shoes~

New Beginnings

Follow my blog with Bloglovin So here we go...

I was kind of not liking my blog name anymore. I like it for my business but as a blog name, it no longer suited me so I decided to change it. Coming up with a blog name must be one of the hardest things to do but I did it and decided on Polka Dot Heart. What do you think?

My goal this year is to lose weight. I am in the process of trying to get WLS but in order to do that I need to lose 20lbs. I didn't realize how hard it would be. I am going to try and blog about that, as well as general life stuff.

My second goal this year is to be a better blogger and that starts now with this blog. I can't wait for this year and to see what great things happen!
