Meet the bridesmaids...sixth edition!

Hello world... meet Alanna Moine!

Alanna is one of my best friends, and bridesmaid #6!
Alanna was my junior high small group leader, and has impacted my life in so many ways. She has taught me how to be a good listener, a lifelong fan of Justin Timberlake, a great friend, and how to find an awesome and entertaining video on you-tube.
She is an uber talented graphic designer, photographer, and artist... so if you are ever looking to spruce up your place, Alanna is your go to woman!
I was privileged enough to be a part of her wedding last year, and I was thrilled. She is married to Jared Moine who was also an adult leader while I was in junior high & high school.
{side note: Jared once threw a trash can at my head while we were serving in Mexico...I deserved it, I was up past curfew and mouthing off from my tent. No permanent damage done}
Alanna not only designed our save the dates, but also our incredibly beautiful wedding invitations.
I am so excited to have her stand up next to me on June 28th, I couldn't ask for a better friend!

Love you Laney Bloggs.

blog much?

I have a plethora of items to blog about... but I am awaiting the photos for most of them.

They include..
Bridal Showers #1 & #2
Suprise Bridal Shower from the small group girls
Bachelorette Party ( for me)
Bachelorette Party (for Jill)

But here is a teaser photo for you... it comes from my bachelorette party.

this food is bad.

So I have a fear of cooking, mostly for three reasons;

1. I will undercook the food and poison the "eaters"
2. It will taste horrible and the "eaters" will throw stones at me in the kitchen
3. The hot food will be cold by the time I get the entire meal ready

Therefore, I try and stay away from cooking.
But as of June 28th, I will be someones wife, and should probably cook some of the time.

Yesterday I was over at Brandon's house and his "den mother" as I call her ( he lives with Tom's family and Mistee the Mom is an incredible cook) showed me a magazine that has an entire month of easy and healthy meals to make...that includes a shopping list broken down into weeks.

There seriously couldn't be anything easier for me.
So I downloaded the month of May and I think I will try to cook some of them.

Wish me luck.

If you want a month of recipes... here they are!

"Incessant Poll Taking"

The closer my wedding gets, the more I hear people say this phrase..
" If I could do it all over again, I would ____________."
This got me thinking... and wondering,

If you could do your wedding all over again, what would you do differently?
