Ramblings and Grumblings of a Bride to Be!

Thoughts leading up to the big day:

Monday, April 6- Alright, wedding week! Dang we did a lot this past weekend. What else do we have to do this week (let's make a list! I love lists)? When do I need to shave my legs again?

Tuesday, April 7- I don't really feel stressed at all-I'm getting things done in my own time and not stressing, so whyyyy is my skin all of a sudden breaking out? I haven't changed anything about what I'm eating or drinking or activity levels. Meh. I also feel a little sad because time has gone by so fast that I truly am no longer a kid or fresh out of school. This is adult real life and I'm making adult real life decisions. Just kinda sad that my youth really is over. Not that I'm not excited for the future. Guess it's all those old pictures my mom has been going through from my childhood that makes me feel this way. But I sure was cute, right?!

(In honor of this past Easter weekend. Clearly didn't feel the need to put on an Easter Dress so I rocket Belle and the Beast)

(Hiyaaaa)

Wednesday, April 8- Today is my Friday! Woo hoo! Crap, what else do I need to do before the actual Friday? Okay like 5 people are texting me at once about wedding stuff. Where is my list. Ok, I'm on schedule, sorta. Why is my skin still being weird. and WHY oh why is it going to be 90% chance of rain on Saturday. Last week it was sunny!

Things to do:

Get my Dress (uhhhh)

Finish packing for the honeymoon (I need a bigger suitcase haaaaa)

Do we still have to get little travel sized containers? (yes)

Is my passport expired (nope)

Eat our groceries in the fridge so they don't go bad while we are gone (yum)

Get Married (but not until Saturday)

I think I'm okay?

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country. Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his ...

Water Wars Week 1

This entire month, I've been challenging myself to drink at least (or close to) a gallon of water each day. So that's roughly 50 ounces before lunch, 50 ounces after lunch, and a bottle at both lunch and dinner. I was intrigued to do this after I saw a before/after of a lady whose face looked completely different (in a great way!) from before she started drinking. Face was clear and glowing and looked so smooth. She also saw 30lbs of weight loss without changing anything (which obviously I'm not going for), but still! The benefits of making this a habit is nothing but positive! My skin is pretty clear most of the time, but every now and then a whopper will show up and STAY for weeks it seems like. With a wedding and plenty of photos on the horizon, I want to try anything I can to be at my best for the day of. Hence the drowning, I mean drinking, of so much water per day. Week 1: I started officially on Tuesday, January 6, and the first couple of days were filled w...

To cut, or not to cut...that is my question!

More like a dilemma. I've done it before, and I've grown it back out, so I can do it again-right? I feel like everyone has short hair these days (I currently have the longest hair on my team at work!) , and all I wanted when I had short hair was to have long hair again. Now that it's long (and gross and fried and ick at the ends) I want to go short. But then I have an awesome long-haired day and think I want to keep it long. Do you see my problem here? Summer is coming, so it's going to be up in a pony tail or bun most days, so that just seems like such a waste of hair. But I sweat a lot and since summer is hot, wearing it in it's intended short style probably wouldn't last. What is a girl to do?!
