Bees, I LOVE a good deal. And in my mind, the only thing better than a good deal is free.

We're the Blue Moons!
I can't believe this day is here! I have been dreaming about being a Weddingbee blogger for many years, ever since I first met my fiance and figured out that he was the one. Weddingbee is a place that I have always come to for inspiration and advice on everything from etiquette to recipes to sharing my excitement, and the excitement of other new brides, over our engagements and other milestones. It's a great community to be part of, and now I get to be a blogger in it! Call me Miss Blue Moon- nice to meet you!

We Have a Flower Girl!
For New Year's Eve, my fiance and I usually go to the beach with his family and their good friends, who own a gorgeous beach house in Seacrest, Florida. This year, they were renting out their beach house to vacationers, but we decided to all meet up for a New Year's party anyway at their regular place. I miss the beach, but it's always good to be with friends no matter where you are.
Part of our New Year's tradition is to exchange our Christmas gifts between our families after our midnight countdown. Since we are all doing separate family stuff on Christmas day, we carve out this special time to exchange gifts between dear friends. Our friends have a precious daughter that Don and I knew we would want to be in our wedding from the day we got engaged. We were in high school during their pregnancy, and have really watched their kid grow up. The only question was finding the perfect time to ask Blue Blossom to be in our wedding. We decided to do it after the gift exchange last night.
Aside from her regular Christmas present, I picked out a flower girl basket and wrapped it up with a pin that says "Flower Girl" and a little poem that I found online and modified. It goes like this:
