Bachelorette Plans part 1

One of the things that I've been working on lately (besides the house) is my sister's wedding, in particular the Bachelorette Bash. So I thought as things come together and without giving any suprises away I would share some things that I have done for this. Today's post is the Invites. I dropped these in the mail this week and figure about now people (at least us east coasters) have started to receive them. They turned out even better than I anticipated.

The trellis design is one of my favorite and we had matching return labels made (which of course I ordered an extra sheet of). With only two weeks to go I'm really getting excited and I'll defintly be sharing things once the big day arrives.

The Backyard

Good news! Our backyard is almost complete. About a month ago we had the sod laid in the backyard which was wonderful. It also had the added bonus of providing entertainment for the kids for the day. Then we had a ton of rain and discovered some spots where it wasn't raining.

So, up can the sod out vame the diggers and they leveled out the spots. On top of that, we discovered that the tallest pine in our woods was in fact dead and being propped up by the other trees. This most likely this happened during on of the 3 wind/ tornado things we've had in the past few months. So out came more diggers and here are the pictures.

Once the grass has finally settled, we'll get the swing set up and start using this big ol' backyard.

Tomatoes

For those of you whom I've talked to in the past few days. I've probably already told you this because it's been my lead in story for at least 48 hours, so I apologize in advance.
Our neighbor has a tomato garden and this past weekend he brought over some tomatoes for us, and I made myself a Caprese salad the other day and it was AWESOME. So until I get house pictures together I thought I would entertain you with pictures of our tomatoes which I've been eating non-stop since.
