Happy Birthday, America!

Yayy for Birthdays! Especially the ones that determined oh so long ago how our country came to be to this day. It's easy to forget the real meaning behind the Holiday, but I am forever grateful that I am fortunate enough to have lived in a such a place where spending time out at the lake with my friends and family, drinking and eating all sorts of yummies, and enjoying the simple things in life has been made possible. 

So! Lake! Sunshine! Family! Friends! It was a glorious (and short) 3 day weekend, but it was a blasty blast (not just from the fireworks though). My sister and her boyfriend got to come out and spend the weekend with us, and joining not long after was Robert's sis and HER boyfriend, AND my parents. Full house, and couldn't have asked for anything better! The food was yummy (I may or may not have eaten dessert all day long since I made it on Friday morning), the drinks were drunk, and good times were made. 





Hope you all had a fabulous time on the 4th, and my shoulders are definitely feeling the effects. A little sunburn turns to tan, yes? And shout out to our World Cup Champions! The last time we won was a pivotal moment in my soccer career (5th grade was when I started playing select), and proud to have been inspired by those in 1999, and can only imagine what it's still doing for girls/youth soccer today! #Ibelieve

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 ...

Happy 2015!

Cheers to the New Years! Hope it was lovely and celebratory and filled with lots of hopes and motivations for this upcoming 2015. I know this year is going to be the best one YET! We spent our New Years at a friends house, who had a great set up (including a DIY photo booth) and festive decorations! Plus a champagne-tasting contest, so we got to try a lot of different kinds of bubbly!  The best is yet to come! And it's so true. Each chapter that we embark on as a human being brings a new day and a new goal and new "best" days. When I was in high school, it was all about graduation it being the "best day," then we got to my 21st birthday, then my college graduation, then one of many relationship's anniversary, then getting my first big girl job and then turning 25, then to being proposed to, and now my next "best day" will be April 11, 2015. And from there on it keeps on and on. Isn't that exciting?  Each day I'm workin...

Sunday Confessions

Sooooo I meant to post these  Friday   Saturday  Sunday confessions a couple of days ago, but alas life happens. And it's been a chaotic week. Yay for warmer weather (sorta!) and Super Bowl Sunday but here's what I wanted to post on FRIDAY that I'm just getting around to. Blog fail. So I watched Grease Live! this past Sunday (as in a week ago now) and I can't stop thinking about it. And I may have watched it again...all 3 hours...twice. Did anyone else watch it? The original was an integral part of my childhood, and one of the only movies we watched over and over at my grandma's house, so it's one of my all time faves and I may have gotten a wee bit emotional at the end. The feeeeeels.   I was going to attempt to go do some of this "30 days sugar free!" nonsense starting beginning of February. Then I forgot that Valentine's Day was in a couple of weeks. And we have chocolate everywhere. And Girl Scout cookies. And then it was so and so's bi...
