a person to be loved

 

Found this over at 320 Sycamore.

LOVE it.

So… I got married.

…And in the process I neglected my blog. Sorry!

Getting married was by far the best thing I have ever done. My husband is the man of my dreams and I never imagined I could ever be this happy. Ever.  Sigh.

Planning my wedding was so much fun! I think Jared and I are champs. And our moms are pretty darn sweet, too. Oh, and my dad put in a lot of work. Okay, countless people helped and every single one of them is awes. We had some pretty stellar vendors, too. When I got engaged, and while I was planning, I had these visions in my mind of keeping you, my readers, up-to-date on every single little detail of the wedding. That didn’t happen. Hey, at least I let you know I was getting married, right?!

Today, I’m going to give you a run-down of our vendors. And then in the future, I’m going to share some details of my favs!

It’s official!

Okay, it’s been official for almost a month now, but guess what????

He wants to marry me!!!!!

 

I don’t know what I did in a past life to deserve this, but I’m sure glad I did it.

 

Here’s my ring…. can you say swoon?????

I know it’s just a crappy cell phone pic, but you can see how pretty it is.

SO

Save the date!

Planning a wedding is so much fun! Seriously, right up my alley.

And it is stressful.

BUT SO FUN!

Anyway, just thought it was about time I told the internet world of my blissful relationship status.

One Sweet Slice!

Hi readers… if there are any readers left. 

 
So… in case you haven’t heard (which is likely, because it’s not official yet) I’m getting married in November! My stunning future-fiance and I are in one of those (admittedly dumb) Facebook competitions where we can win a free wedding cake. I know, I know, you probably aren’t that interested in liking some random page on Facebook, but this gal for real makes some amazing cakes. And she makes cupcakes and does parties and stuff too… so that’s pretty sweet.

The company is One Sweet Slice.
 
Would you be so kind as to going to One Sweet Slice on Facebook, becoming a fan, and clicking “Like” on Cambria & Jared so we can win a free cake? The link is below, along with the cute picture of us, so you will know for sure who we are!

Remember, you can always just “Unlike” them after this is all over, but not until after August 30th, okay?
 
Thanks everyone!
 
Oh, and of course, feel free to pass the word along. Anything I can do to save my momma $500 on the wedding would make this girl happy!

Walkin’ on the pageant stage and shakin’ my booty!

This song has been stuck in my head for days.

Don’t judge me.

This Sweet Love

I’m alive! I’ll prove it!

Hi guys. It’s me, Cambria. I’ve been kind of MIA lately. I know it’s not the first time I’ve posted an apology like this, but I’ve just been busy lately being all in love and having the time of my life with this one guy. Some call him Chewy. Some call him Jared. On the serious I love him and he is the best thing that’s ever happened to me and we have been having a blasty blast together.

This was on the 4th of July… one of both of our favorite holidays!!! I wish I could upload the video I took of him shaking his money-maker for some patriotic Mardi Gras beads from the Taco Time float in the K-town parade, but I can’t. I don’t think. And, I know we are blurry in the pic and the car behind us is in focus, but we were on the scooter, so I say it’s cool.

 

I decided to include a couple somewhat unrelated photos because I think they are funny:

First off: We belong to a dinner group we like to call “The Old Ladies Club.” Which is ironic because most members are mid-to-late-twenty-something aged dudes. This last week at Mo Bettah Steaks in Bounty town, my friend Chase made an insightful observation to the vacant space next to the Hawaiian bbq place we were eating at. “What kind of company was this? And is it any wonder they are out of business? And, look guys, you could see it and feel it, but then you had to buy it before you could smell it. Weird.” The world may never know, Chase.

Lastly, I generally like to keep my blog pretty family friendly and PG, but does anyone else see anything wrong with this robot??? This is a pattern that I came across and… um. Why??? Why would you make this for your child? Either someone is super sick in the head or someone made a very unfortunate oversight.

Peace and blessins, peace and blessins.

 

P.S. Remind me to tell you about the time Jared and I were lighting sparklers and Kodi dog tried to eat one and burned his face. It was super funny and then super sad.

 

my bff can draw better than your bff

See??? I told you!

She. Is. Incredible.

And a perk of being roommates/bffs with an art student is getting your portrait drawn.

She is in business if you’re looking for an awesome gift.

Check out her art here.

ready for summer

and this little piggy went to the market…

One of the perks of working at a Quilt Shop is getting the chance to attend the International Quilt Market which (lucky for me!) was held in Salt Lake City last weekend.

I was in heaven.

I went to a class taught by Amy Butler on Thursday, then on Friday I met her!

(and she told my friend Sig and I that she liked our outfits and that we were really cute!!! Ahhhhh I almost died).

Saw Sandi Henderson’s boot which was simply to die-for-adorable:

Went to a class taught by Joel Dewberry (and his darling wife) on Thursday and met them on Friday as well! I told him how in love I was with his Aviary 2 line (the grey and mustard colorway) and showed him which pieces I was planning on using for the drapes in my bedroom and which I was planning on using for my bedskirt. I think they liked me

So… Joel talked his wife into designing dress patterns… isn’t this dress adorable? I’m going to make it. And the chair. Swoon.

Also went to a class by Anna Maria Horner. LOVE HER. Look at this adorable peasant top she has coming out soon:

Needless to say I was on Cloud Nine.

I also went to a class by Heather Bailey (who announced she is pregnant!) and showed off party supplies that will be available in her adorable designs. Lila Tuller who used laminated fabric in the most adorable ways… cute patterns to come! Michael Miller designers, Riley Blake designers and much more!

P.S. All of these images belong to the amazing photographer, Sigrid Larsen.
