6 Months of Marriage

Wow-a full 6 months of marriage under our belts and it could not have gone any quicker! But at the same time April feels SO long ago. We got married in April? That was basically last year, right? I find myself continuing to ask myself when things occurred. So far it’s been good. Hard work-as with any relationship married or not-but could be wayyy worse. There’s a sense of “oh crap it’s really officially official now!” once it’s done, but for the most part things haven’t really been any different. I think we were smart to have already taken care of the biggie stuff (helloooo house!) beforehand, so we weren’t stressed about that or having to learn each other's, ahem, bad living habits, after it was too late. Stinky socks can be a deal breaker for some people! And with anything in life it's comes with learning lessons and knowing when to pick your battles, but at the end of the day this is the person I chose to do life with and I wouldn't change a thing! 
I mayyyy still need to get my license updated. I’ll go this week I promise! But I am to the point that when I type my “old” name it feels strange since I type my “new” one at work all the time. Now we get junk mail. It still feels a little “omg really” to me when I’m introduced as a WIFE. A wife?!! That’s my mom! Hahahha. 
We have our first summer under our belts. I haven’t lost my ring in the lake or pool yet-so that’s a plus. Knock on wood. Our first crop of Holidays are coming up, which are always exciting. My mom beat me to the punch the other day and said she was excited already for Thanksgiving. All I can think about is green bean casserole at Christmas! Hopefully we can work something out and visit all families for everything and also maybe start some new traditions of our own? Some Christmas morning Texas-shaped vanilla chocolate chip waffles DO sound pretty good to me! Thanks to our handy dandy Texas waffle maker. Yum. 
So our next 6 months should be a breeze with so many exciting things coming up! A 5K this weekend, a Halloween tailgate, family birthdays (November is busy!), the Holidays, a brand spanking New Years. Not to mention cooler weather so I can finally wear my new boots that the Hubby surprised me for my birthday!  
With as much can negativity in our world these days I feel it's more important than ever to be thankful and appreciative of every opportunity and chance to live this life and not take it for granted! Not everything in my world is always positive, but I chose to make decisions that can only make us better!


A few of our wild moments thus far include a return trip to NYC, lake days and 4th of Julys, a impromptu trip to the apartments that we first met, a wedding, north Texas tailgates, and of course our annual fair day. What's next!?

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 ...

Winter is Coming..so is a Wedding!

Burrrr! Today is a balmy 40 degrees outside-and I'm definitely not ready for it despite my scarf-wearing, boot shopping fashion choices since September, hoping to "force" Fall to actually happening, but now that it's here: go away! Or at least just get a liiiitle bit warmer, so I can still have fun in my dozens of scarves and boots, but not freeze my ass off. Ka-peesh? My parents like to kindly remind me of what's to come in December, since we are going to the Army-Navy football game in Baltimore. Last year in Philly was just awful (and by awful I mean freezing, rainy, icy, cold, hungry, wet, sweaty, repeat) but a blasty blast being in a new city and living through new memories being made.  Any hoo-Even though I'm not snuggled up at home on this festive Veteran's Day (thank you to everyone who has served!), warm in my bed, I still wanted to touch on some wedding related topics: vendors. This could also be fun to read AFTER the wedding in April, to loo...

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...
