Help!!



So I think planning a wedding is really quite fun ~ minus the whole "make a million decisions" thing. I am probably the most indecisive person I know...and Morgan will back me up on that. I can't ever seem to make up my mind when it comes to what movie I want to watch, what I want to eat for dinner, etc. After spending 30 min trying to make a decision, I end up falling back on my defaults: Jr. Bacon Cheesburger plain (Wendy's), brownie cheesecake sundae (Artic Circle), chicken alfredo (Olive Garden), "Sweet Home Alabama," "You've Got Mail." I'm so predictable!

How do you know when you've found the right dress? How do you know if you want pink peonies AND roses in your bouquet? How do you know if you should get a white cake or green? I mean, really people. Who has a green wedding cake? Maybe I will. Maybe I won't. But you can definitely count on me to debate for hours and hours over it. :)

So here is your chance o ye readers of my blog. I need advice. Where do you find bridesmaids dresses? What's a good catering company? Know any cake-makers? Tux rentals? Florists? Please help your local indecisve Cate and she will be eternally grateful. :) In the meantime, enjoy this fabulous picture of pink peonies. They are just stunning.

Accessorize, Dahhhling.

I would never say so, but my friends would certainly say I know how to ROCK this pink hat. And Katherine, dahhhhling, you look positively fabulous.

If you've never read any of Sophie Kinsella's books, I highly endorse the "Shopaholic" series. Slightly irreverant and absolutely hysterical, it brings joy to my heart. :) I can't wait for the movie to come out. I can't wait to see what fashionable accessories Becky Bloomwood adorns. (Although I'm sure my hat and shades are worthy rivals to any of her Prada bags or Jimmy Choos.)
Happy Shopping!

Flowers and Food

I have recently come to appreciate the immense joys of flowers and food. I'm taking Floral Design this semester and am considering dropping out to be a florist. JUST KIDDING MOM! Well, I have decided that being a florist would be amazing, but I don't think I'll be dropping out of school anytime soon. I graduate in December! I've also been cooking up a storm lately. I love to see Morgan's eyes pop out when he bites into one of my delicious concoctions. I think his reaction alone is the reason I've been cooking so much. :) To be honest, I really enjoy it now.

I started keeping a gratitude journal. So far I've written in it every day! Pretty good for a New Year's resolution, eh? The best thing is I feel happier and more optimistic. I try and think of things during the day that I can write I'm thankful for. It's kinda fun. :)

Wedding plans are coming along well! We take our engagements pictures in a few weeks and hopefully I'll find my dress one of these days! Here is the view from the temple that we'll be seeing in 115 days! :)
