Meet the Shaneyfelts -

Anyone who knows me knows my love for reality tv. My earliest memory of watching reality tv was Laguna Beach in early high school. Anyone else watch that? After LB went off the air, then I immediately watched The Hills because I was a huge LC fan (and Whitney!!). And then in college my friends and I used to watch Real World together every week–those were some really fun watch parties!

In honor of my love of reality tv, I want to share a few of the shows I’m watching currently (or was watching) and a little bit about them!

Real Housewives of New York City

I can’t help but really like Bethanny even though I do think she’s a little neurotic. I watched her wedding and then her divorce drama. I really like Dorinda but I wish she would find a new boyfriend haha! And I’m not sure what to think about this Tinsley person?!

Keeping Up With the Kardashians

I LOVE THIS SHOW!!! I seriously started watching this show from the very first episode, so it has been so crazy to watch the girls change and transform the more famous they get. I’ve watched Kim’s make up and hair change to more high fashion–even more so since she and Kanye got together. Anyone else laugh at everything Scott says?! He’s so much more funnier now that he’s sober.

Counting On

The Duggars are my absolutely favorite! We started watching them when they had specials on TLC when they had 14 kids…and I thought that was a lot back then haha! Now that the girls have their own show, it’s been so fun watching them become their own people. I love Jessa and Ben so much (and their theology) and now I really love Jinger and Jeremy (and Jinger wears pants!!!).

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills

This show is so fascinating because these ladies are so rich! I can’t get over how big some of their houses are (or aren’t…like Kyle’s? I would think her house would be much bigger) or the fact that Erika employs people to do her hair and make up daily. I love Dorit’s accent. I know if my husband was British then I would have a slight accent haha!

Southern Charm

I know I wrote about this in my last Friday Favorites, but I love this show. Craig needs to become a lawyer and propose to Naomi because I have a feeling her parents are supporting them. Shep needs to settle down and I’m ready for Cameran to have a baby. Because of the season opener, I’m curious to see if Landon and Thomas get together.

I shared some of my favorites with y’all, now y’all tell me what I’m missing!?

Friday Favorites!

Happy Friday, my friends!

I’m off school today and my sister is off work today, so we’re going to be doing a little shopping this afternoon and I can’t wait to spend some time with her! I love that my sister and I have such a close relationship 🙂

Today is also Good Friday–good because we deserve death on the cross, but Jesus, in his infinite love and obedience to the Father, took our place–and Sunday is coming!

Today, I’m sharing a few FAVORITES with y’all!

I’ve had lots of fun recapping our wedding (2.5 years later) and I finished it up yesterday with the reception where we had THE BEST time! I have loved writing these posts and reminiscing!

(my fav workout top)

Sunday I tagged along with my sister while she had a photo shoot. Before her client got to the site, she took a few photos of me. You can tell by my outfit that I was totally prepared to have photos taken……not! ha!

(Also I’m posting this even though I think I look fatter in this picture 🙈🙈)

My big sister flew in from Colorado Wednesday and I was so happy to see her! She moved in August and I haven’t seen her since, and I know my dad was so happy that we were all together again!

(I’m also wearing my fav workout tank in a different color)

Dustin and I are aggressively paying off student loans (his undergrad and my graduate school), so this will be how I feel until everything is paid off next year. I’m taking donations for anyone who wants to support my shopping addiction 😂😂 I feel like we’re kind of doing Dave Ramsey but not 100%.

Southern Charm recently came back on TV and I love that show! I follow Jennifer Snowden on IG and over the last few months since she had her baby, she’s really become my favorite and she isn’t even a main character on the show haha! Her baby was born with health issues and had brain surgery a few days after birth. If you’re watching Southern Charm, who’s your favorite? Landon is getting on my nerves big time and it’s only been 2 episodes ha!

#MeetTheShaneyfelts: Reception!!

Thursday, April 13, 2017

Yesterday I told you that I was really good in narrowing down pictures for the ceremony post; well today is a different story. I had a really hard time choosing, so feel free to skim through these pictures. I did this mainly for my own memories.

To see the ceremony, click here.

Once we got to the country club for our reception, we headed out to take a few pictures on the golf course and the guests began to arrive.

As soon as guests began arriving, they immediately picked up their food (yummy bbq) and began to eat. (Remember, we did get married at 6 PM and it was a 20 minute drive to the reception.) After pictures, Dustin and I had a table set up in the office and we were able to eat by ourselves before the actual reception began. Best thing we did! We were able to make sure we ate uninterrupted and it was so fun to recap the day together and eat our first meal as husband and wife.

The band’s set list

Our first dance was to Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love”

After our first dance we immediately cut both of our cakes. I wanted guests to be able to eat cake while they watched the next two dances. I definitely thought about how I feel at weddings sometimes where I’m dying for cake but it seems like it takes forever until the bride and groom cut it haha!

My cake was strawberry and vanilla layers with a buttercream frosting died pale pink. And as you can tell, I didn’t have a cake topper #notapriorityforme

Dustin’s cake was wildlife-themed and it was red velvet with a buttercream, too.

My dad and I danced to Hall and Oates’s “Sara Smile.” He always sang that song to me when I was little to where I thought it was about me, so it was only fitting that we danced to it at my wedding!
