Summertime!!

So I have figured out that I am not very good at keeping up with my blog!! BUT I'm going to try harder from now on.  So much has been going on and before I realized it, it's summertime!! This is my favorite time of the year by far.  There's nothing I love more than sitting on a patio drinking with friends, going to the lake/pool, and wearing fun summer clothes! Our cousin Kolby graduated from high school a couple weeks ago kicking off the summer! I can't believe he's old enough to be out of high school!!

I'm LOVING the bright colored clothes this summer.  This neon yellow tank is to die for! 

This past weekend some of our friends came in town and we rented a boat and hung out on the lake!  We had a blast as we always do when we're all together!  The weather was perfect!

My fiancé and me

The girls!

This has been a weekend full of so much fun.  We have been going non stop with friends in town and fun celebrations.  Our friends threw Aaron and I a stock the bar party this Sunday and we had the time of our lives hanging out with all of our friends and family!  This party, however, deserves a post of its own, so be looking forward to that one!  Here's a sneak peak for y'all!!

I hope everyone has had a Happy Memorial Day!! 

Bridesmaids

The wedding is FOUR months away from yesterday!! OHH MY! I've been putting together some ideas for each of my bridesmaids' hair and finally decided on what dresses they will wear!  The dresses are from Bari Jay and are mustard yellow.  Each girl will wear a different style and have their hair fixed different as well.  I love it!  Here are my bridesmaids and some of the collages I put together!

Leslie, Matron of Honor
She has shorter hair right now, so I want a very sophisticated yet beachy up do for her.  The hair in the front will be a little more down and wavy/curled.  Any hairdo will look great on her!

Molly, Maid of Honor
Molly has THICK hair!  No offense to her but it is SOOO hard to fix! haha I had to fix it for our friend Britney's wedding and it took forever!  :) But her hair is gorgeous and I think a nice thick side bun would look gorgeous on her! If we can get a braid to work into it, that would be awesome!

Rachel

Her hair is short right now and fun to work with.  I love her hair halfway up and teased A LOT! So thats what we're going to do for her.  I want the back to be very detailed and fun!

Tara
Tara has a TON of hair! You could do anything with it really.  Her dress is a halter and has pretty flower detail on the neck, so I want her hair in a big ponytail! It's going to be poofed crazy and have big pretty curls down in the front.  Think big barbie pony!

Anna

She has great hair! She does so much with it too!  I'm excited for her hairstyle because I know she'll do anything.  She isn't picky at all and very open minded!  I can't decide between the sock-bun/top knot, a long messy braid on the side, or this fancy up do modeled by Blake Lively.

Britney

She has amazing hair! Although her hair does look great in a messy up do, I want hers in a curly side ponytail.  It will look so pretty!

Ashley

Ashley's hair is going to be in a messy up do.  I want some cool braids and curls incorporated in as well. Very fun!

Here are all of the dresses again together! And the suits the guys will wear will be grey.  LOVE!

I love every single one of these dresses sooo much! I really tried hard to make sure each girl will feel comfortable and look great in the dress I chose for them.  I know it's dumb, but these dresses really would look great cut shorter! I hope they all love them as much as I do! I can't wait to order them and see them all in person!

Weekend Fun

We were busy busy this weekend! Busy having fun that is! Friday night Aaron and I went out with our friends Tanner and Samantha.  We went to this new restaurant here in Springdale called Bleu Monkey Grill.  It was pretty good! After that we went to the Razorback baseball game and had a blast! The Hogs lost in the bottom of the 10th inning, but it was a good game!  Aaron's parents have season tickets and their seats are awesome! The people that sit around them are hilarious too! One of South Carolina's players last names was Dantzler.. and the guys behind us were singing.. "OOOOh I wanna Dantzler somebody, I wanna feel the HEAT with somebody!" haha it was a good time! Heres a couple pictures I got from the night!

Saturday we went to Conway, AR for Aaron's little sister, Ashley's, graduation from college.  It made me feel so old! She looked so pretty and we are all soooo happy for her!

 After graduation we went out to eat to celebrate, then drove back home to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with my family at Rachel's house!  We got there pretty late, but the party was still going strong and we had a lot of fun!  Never too late to have a margarita!!

Love that picture of Winston!! :) Well I hope everyone else had a fun weekend! All I have planned today is to clean the whole house, go to the grocery store and work out. Blah! Hope this week goes by fast so next weekend will get here sooner!!!

New to the Blogging World

Hi everyone! My name is Nicole and I am a brand new blogger!  Some of you may be followers of my two fabulous sisters, Rachel and Tara! They've been blogging for years, and I have yet to join all of the fun until now!!

A little about me..

         I am 25 years old and a Registered Nurse in Surgery here in Northwest Arkansas.  I am currently in grad school to be a Nurse Practitioner.  In addition to that I am recently engaged to my wonderful fiancé, Aaron! Our wedding date is this September 8th!!  I am in full wedding planning mode along with taking classes for grad school. (Not to mention my best friend Leslie is getting married this July!) Lord help me!!! Bring on the excitement!  So I felt, not only would all of this drama fun be perfect for a reality show on E!, but on a blog of course!  I have a Westie named Wintson, and you will be seeing him A LOT on this blog, fair warning.  He's the cutest pup in the whole world! Aaron, my fiancé, is my handsome cowboy, hence the name of the blog.  One of his favorite hobbies is roping.  You wouldn't necessarily guess that he's a cowboy when you meet him, but he sure is!  We have a barn in our backyard and two horses! (no chickens allowed..) Besides his amazing blue eyes, my favorite thing about Aaron is his sense of humor, which is something I find so important for a man to have.  He's always making me laugh! He's very hard-working, loving and responsible.  I know he will always take care of me (and Winston, even though he wouldn't admit he loves Winston) and I can't wait to marry him!

       My family is by far the best family in the world!  My sisters, mom and I are best friends.  We do so much together and have so much fun! I feel very thankful to have such strong relationships with them.

My friends are also something I cherish as well!  My group of friends has been close since junior high/high school!! We all went to different colleges and made new friends, and yet we still all have the same strong relationships we've always had.  I have so much fun with them and am so excited to share all of my wedding fun with them as well!

I am SUPER excited to finally start a blog! Let's see if I can juggle blogging, planning a wedding, taking classes, planning my friend's bachelorette party/shower, working and taking call, and being the best fiancé-sister-mamma to winston-daughter-friend-coworker anyone could ask for! haha This is going to be one fun summer!! I can't wait!!!
