DoxieBleu: a party for my guy.

Can I just talk about my sweet man for a minute... I am so in love! More of our story in another post, but for now, I want to brag on his latest accomplishment. Graduate school!

After more than a year of preparing himself mentally and academically, Justin was accepted into grad school!! I could not be any prouder or happier for him. He worked so hard, y'all. He put countless hours into every aspect of it - studying for the GMAT, researching every school in America, applying and writing essays for his top 5 choices - and it paid off! One night we were hanging out and he nonchalantly said, "So, I got into Emory." AHHHH!!! I screamed and jumped around like a crazy person, hugging him and asking why he wasn't screaming and jumping around with me. He was so cool about it!

^^^ Isn't he so handsome!? ^^^

Fast forward a few short weeks and he was packing his apartment ready to move to Atlanta. I couldn't let him leave town without a party! Surprise party, of course!!

I loved how perfectly all our decorations came together.

Big shout out to both families for all the decorating help!

Check out the story of the skeleton here! Pretty cool story!

It was so hard to keep this secret for all those weeks of planning! I wanted so badly to tell him about it. But I made it without a peep. The day of, I was a ball of nerves! I had to ignore his texts all day, acting like I was super busy "running errands." Finally, it was time to bring him to the party. I had it all planned out, what time to walk up, which trail to take, how to convince him to follow me even though I know nothing about these trails. I was a nervous wreck! But it all worked out perfectly. He patiently followed me through the woods without asking any questions. As we walk up, trying to hide my face, I see everyone hiding. Then we get there....SURPRISE! He is totally confused. He said later that he thought "These people have the wrong guy." haha! I loved it!!
