I did this a few months ago and just kinda felt like reposting! So here goes my seven random facts! 1) I am obsessed with the action of speedometers turning to a "thousandth". From back in the day when they would "roll over" to now when they change digitally, I love when the speedometer is on an even number in the thousands. it's gotten so bad that my friends will pull off to the side of the road and take pictures with their camera phones & text them to me to make my day. I get so excited when mine rolls over! There is something magical when it says 43,000. hahahaha Photo Source 2) I love hospital food! Absolutely love it! When I was little I used to beg my parents to take me to the hospital to eat hospital food when all the other kids wanted to go to McDonald's. Even to this day, I don't like a whole lot of seasoning on my food and prefer hospital food. Photo Source 3) I am a shark fanatic. I belong to seven different organizations that are for s...

Yea, it's been a while since I've written a blog post. I must admit, facebook has been getting all my social network love and attention for the last few months. However, I've decided that I want to come back to blogging. Can't a girl change her mind? Sheesh! LOL So a lot has happened since the last time we talked. Shortly before I started this blog, I'd called off my wedding and thought this would be a good outlet and release. However, as it turned out all I wanted to do was mourn in private and didn't feel like blogging one bit. Well, fast forward six months and you get a fresh chick with a new outlook on life. God is good. He takes good care of me and comforts me in my time of need. LIFE IS GREAT! I've moved forward with career goals, went back to school, moved into a fabulous apartment, travel at least once a month, started back up my business and continued to stay active in church. Although I am no longer a bride-to-be, I fell in love with wedding "...

So, as a bride, I wanted to have a fireworks show! Photo Credit That was going to be my splurge item. I didn't really care about the dress, cake, or food as much as I cared about having a fireworks show, a good DJ, and lots of dancing and fun. Here are three companies that I requested quotes from in the DFW (Texas) area. Photo Credit North Texas Pyrotechnic Productions, LLC Pyrotex Austin Wedding Fireworks Photo Credit For those of you who may not know about wedding fireworks, there are lots of options that you can chose from in order to incorporate "pyrotechnics" (I was informed that this is the proper term) into your special day. Photo Credit Here are some of the options: photo credit First Kiss Fireworks“You may kiss the bride.” - What better to follow these words than a one-minute finale?

A little more than a month ago, I decided to start blogging about my engagement and I was so very excited and happy. Although I'd been engaged since the summer of last year, I used New Years Day to begin my new experience of sharing my journey with the world. However, I regret to inform you that I am no longer engaged. So, with a new status comes a new blog. I'd imagine that as I go through my period of dis-engagement while still having a love and passion for wedding planning, I can share those thoughts, ideas, and feelings here. And one day, when I am strong enough to delete my old blog, I will start anew as the original www.Authentically-U.blogspot.com . until then, were going to use this http address. www.mistakenbride.blogspot.com I hope you all will continue to join me as I am healed and restored as a beautiful woman who will emerge with a powerful testimony.............................. and continue to share my wedding related DREAMS.........................................
