Deck the House

I have the most amazing sisters!! They threw me a gorgeous, too good to be true Bridal Shower! With my closest friends and all the girls who matter most to me. The table was decorated gorgeous (with little birds in the arrangements!) and the food was so yummy!! Thanks to everyone who came and to my sisters and mom for making it so perfect... down to the invitations! Here are some pictures from the perfect day :)

Girls Weekend In NYC

Last weekend we celebrated Girls Weekend in NYC... We invited all the Cannon girls, along with girls that could be Cannon's one day. Out of them all... Emily, Emilee, Emily, Jenny, Ellie and I all joined in the festivities. Mom, Meghan, Chloe, Courtney, Sarajane, Maddie and Lulu were all missed terribly.

I would love to say that this weekend was jam packed with fun, shopping, great food and laughs... but I was sick the entire time and I think I bummed everyone out. While they all waited in line at Pink Berry, I sprawled out in a tiny doorway clenching my stomach and complaining... I was happy to come face to face with the man who lives through this tiny doorway. He told me that drunks like to urinate where I was sitting. I didn't budge.

Although I was sick, it was SO fun to laugh with the girls. Shopping was fun. And I found a very fabulous dress at Bergdorfs. Now I'm debating if brocade is appropriate for a summer rehearsal dinner... hmm... thoughts?

Tomorrow I leave for SLC!! Lot's of wedding things to do. First things first... my appointment to get my hair bleached out from Breck!

Perfect Pair

Nate and I really are a perfect pair. We are old a lot that we seem like best buddies and that we look like we just love to hang out with each other. This is all true... But in all honesty, there are SO many things we just don't have in common... for example:

These are some of Nate's favorite foods:

chicken crouton casserole
steak
mt dew
brownie sundaes with hot fudge

This is my list (some) of my favorite foods:

Anything with Butter
Abby's Mashed Potatoes... with mom's gravy, mom's mashed potatoes, balsamic vinegar, and tomatoes
Rice Krispie Treats!!!!Homemade Caramels
Mom's Poppyseed Cake with LOTS of icing
Mom's Cinnamon Rolls
I like aunt Robyn's chicken things with a lot of the mustard sauce
Good salads with vinegary dressing or lemon juice
Vinegar
Chang's Spicy Chicken
Lobster
Polenta
Vegetables with dip
Fruit with dip
Brownie sundaes with hot fudge
Root Beer Floats
Pellegrino Sparkling Water
Caramel Apple Cider
Crystal Light Raspberry Ice
Hot Chocolate
Fresca
Cake from Cakes De Fleur

Nate scored a 36 in the math section of his ACT... I don't think my score is even the sum of 3 and 6... but who really cares?

Nate had one job in college, he worked at Western Corrections.
I worked at my Dad's office, PF Changs, MSNBC (for the Olympics,) Mikado, Abercrombie, Pottery Barn, The Broiler, Skywest Airlines (the worst job ever!,) Challenger... and I'm sure there are some random ones I am forgetting. Needless to say, Nate is much more committed than I am :)

Nate is OBSESSED with cars. Our computers have two completely different bookmark tabs... his are weird car forums, The Drudge Report and more weird car forums. Mine are wedding blogs, fashion sites (style.com) Foxnews and lots of celebrity gossip pages...

I could go on and on... we both like wakeboarding and hot fudge sundaes, boats and the water, so we'll be just fine ;)

An American Bride Through Paris

I am completely inspired by these photographs!! I love all the clothes and I think the model looks gorgeous! I found these on the JuneBug Wedding Blog. Some of the pictures are a little wild... but the clothes are just gorgeous!

Babysitting Buster

This isn't exactly a gorgeous wedding cake... but it was mine and Buster's attempt at something fabulous and kid friendly!!

My Dream Room

I found this gorgeous room on one of the many wedding blogs I check. I would love to have this exact room. But considering Nate and I will probably be living in a place that can fit a twin bed comfortably, I will have to hold off on this wish for now...

Sugar and Cream? YES PLEASE!

This morning, Nate and I decided to grab breakfast... at 1:30 pm! We walked over to Anthony's, on the water front and we were instantly greeted with a thick smell of greasy greek breakfast food. In my attempt to look fit on the Big Day, I ordered oatmeal with fruit. Nate ordered two bacon, egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches. I took one bite of my healthy breakfast and started to gag. I put the lid on top, grabbed my coat and was ready to leave, because I knew what was the best fix for this healthy breakfast! Lots of cream and lots of brown sugar. I LOVE oatmeal... but I want it to taste more like an oatmeal cookie, or maybe apple crisp.

No one is my family is a healthy eater. I actually think it's impossible for a Cannon child to be healthy. Nate likes to describe it as, "you just take really healthy foods and make them unhealthy!" This, I learned from the best cook and baker in the world, my mom. No dish goes on our tables without a cube of butter and several drops of cream.

Nate and I were thinking how much easier life would be, if the bad foods we shouldn't eat were... well, his suggestion, "vegetables!" and my suggestion, "sushi!" I could definitely live without sushi!
