A Few of My Favorite Things

Here are some of my favorite things, that I so diligently scoured the internet this week to find, just for you lovely people.

Please, enjoy:

1. My engagement photos (at least some more of them) over at Quintessentially Yours (the wedding blog I write.... I know, over achiever).

2. I am the only "Kaylee Hornsby" on facebook. It occurred to me yesterday that I might not be the only "Kaylee Gwyn." My little heart was rest assured that I will be. Best part, there is a "Baylee Gwyn." The King and I's celebrity nickname is.... "Baylee."

3. Erin over at Living in Yellow has got to be the funniest persons in the world. I love her blog and I love her (actually, we're BFF's in my own little world). The picture is from one of her most recent stories. I literally could not stop laughing. Please, treat yourself by clicking here.

4. A quote to live by. via

5. The next Susan Boyle? Why does Britan's Got Talent always make me feel good, while American Idol makes me feel retarded?

Hope you like these! please share what you've found!

Also, and this is BIG!, if I can get 50 people to like the All Things Bright and Beautiful's facebook page before the end of March (that's tomorrow folks!), then I will do a song and dance. And by that I mean I will literally record myself doing a song and dance and post it for you! What are you waiting for? Click here to "like".

March... Via Instagram

Jeez. Is it me, or is this year flying by?! There is not way March is almost over, because if it is, that means I am only 6 weeks away from my wedding. I don't know if life works this way for you or not, but for me, anytime I'm really excited about something or want something really bad, time drags on. Like drraaaagggggssss on. I'm totally okay with this change though!

Without further ado, March... via instagram.

Practicing my new name; Amanda hates when I take her picture; I love my ring, y'all; The King and I in Forsyth Park.

Purple shirt; The King's first grey hair; Engagement pictures by KimBe Photography; The King cleaned my house and left me flowers.

Whoo do you see?; Right to bare arms folks; Twue wuv ("True Love" a la The Princess Bride); Under the "popcorn" tree.

Hope everyone had a fantastic March. I cannot wait for April to come (bridal shower, little sister's birthday, Kate and Wills anniversary, etc.) and go so I can get HITCHED!!!

Shake What Yo' Mama Gave Ya'

First off, great title right?

Second off, it has absolutely NOTING to do with my post.

Why?

I have no clue what my post is going to be about yet.

Instead, I just keep typing.

I could tell you that I have been acting like this woman a lot. Realistic, yet snarky. Not a nice character trait to convey to those you love.

Or, I could tell you about how I have a 52 legal word vocabulary quiz today that I haven't even started studying for yet.

Or, I could tell you about how I also have a Memorandum of Law due in a few hours and I started ( and finished it) within the last hour... It probably isn't stellar. Nor will I win the case.

Or, I could tell you about how my wedding invitations are killing me. Literally, they are. I have so many paper cuts and embossing powder in my eyes that I am bleeding to death as I go blind.

Or, I could tell you about how I got a new job! Yeah, that's what I'll tell you about.

I passed my resume along a couple of weeks ago. Last Wednesday, the partners of the firm called me in for a pretty unorthodox interview (lets just say that I will now always be referred to as Hilary Swank and that the entire interview was based around how I felt when I won an Oscar). I left the interview so confused, because out of the 30 minutes I saw there, .5 seconds of it was about the job and my skills. Friday I went in to demand that they give me a re-interview where I could prove my skills, but instead, they offered me the job and said that they enjoyed my interview. I signed paperwork on Monday and gave my two weeks notice here, and BADA BING BADA BOOM!I have a new job. I'll be starting there April 9th. Its a serious job folks. No more writing the blog while I have a break in work. Thank goodness I don't have anymore night classes after this semester so I'll still be able to spend oodles of time with you lovely people. I'm excited. Its going to be a good thing.

Its going to be a good thing? Right?!

As you can see, I'm not great at dealing with change.

So yeah, love you lots, yadda yadda yadda.

Kaylee...out.

P.S. Can't you tell tat the wedding stress, school stress and change of job stress are getting to me?

Exhausted

You know you are exhausted and just plain worn out when:

You don't "feel" like pinning.

You don't have time to blog.

You don't have time to read your favorite books.

You don't have time to do wedding stuff.

You don't have time to hang out with your hot fiance.

allllll because you would rather spend you tiny bit of free time sleeping. 

I cannot wait for my life to become less chaotic (in about 55 days). 

Also, I have big news. I'll tell you about it tomorrow, but, for me at least, it is exciting!!!! Changes are happening my friends, good changes.

"Real or Not Real?"

via

I'm obsessed. Always have and probably always will. With the Hunger games that is. It almost bothers me to admit it because everyone is giving the Hunger Games the same reaction as Twilight (which I also still like) just because of the fan base. Trust me. It will be nothing like that. If you think watching teenagers fight to the death in an arena because their government makes them is going to be the same as a vampire/human/werewolf love triangle.... well, guess again.

To celebrate the movie coming out at midnight (yes, I will be there. No, I will not be in costume), I've gathered my favorite Hunger Game inspired "things" from around the web:

So, my friends, may the odds be ever in your favor.

A Few Random Thoughts

Once again, a few random things that are on my mind today:

1. My aunt Sheryle passed away this morning. She has been fighting cancer for months now and I am happy that she has remained victorious by finally being able to escape its grasp and has moved on to somewhere she will be much happier. I take great comfort in knowing that I WILL get to be with her again one day and that she is preparing a beautiful life for her and her family on the other side. I love you and you are truly missed.

2. Sara and Chad are engaged!!!! Whoot whoot! I am so happy for them and know its been a long time coming (I knew for three weeks that he was going to propose to Sara. It was SO HARD for me not to let the cat out of the bag). Help me help them. They are trying to win a free photography session. Follow this link and like their picture and comment on it as well. Let them know I sent you! You guys don't understand how much it would mean to them and to me.

3.  Ellie Coburn (sweetest gal ever!) has finally got her non-profit organization's website up and running. Speak Now is an organization geared towards giving voices back to young women. The goal is to allow young women to view themselves as absolutely fabulous. It is so inspiring that a bright 15 year old girl like Ellie is able to help achieve something like this! Let's help her. Click on over to Speak Now and sign the pledge (I did). It's free. It's wonderful. It's empowering!

Have a great Tuesday everyone. This life we have, it is a great one. Try to remember that today. Live everyday for a purpose.

Have I Gone Mad?

I'm feeling a bit mad lately. Between planning a wedding, full-time school and a full-time job, who could blame me?!

These are the tiny demons that are driving me mad:

1. The fact that I don't have enough time to thoroughly clean my house.

2. Ditto to above, but with my car instead.

3. My four classes actually require more time than any of my other classes I've taken... combined.

4. I still need to put together a bridal shower list to pass along to my sister.

5. I need to remove all 1 billion pieces of china off of mine and the King's bridal registry (the Macy's consultant convinced me I should. I now know I shouldn't have).

6. There really does not seem to be enough time in the day anymore.

7. I can't renew my library book because I have $20 in fines from movies I forgot to return before Spring Break.

8. I just want to take a nap.

9. My hair needs to be cut so bad, but I can't afford it!

10. Wedding stuff. So. Much. Wedding. Stuff.

At least Alice gives me the hope. All the best people really are mad.
