October? October!


It’s fall fall fall! And more importantly, it’s October! Are you tired hearing about Fall and all things associated? Probably. Am I going to stop enjoying this time and exclaiming my exhilaration? Nope. #sorrynotsorry I so wish that Texas had actual fall seasons so we can enjoy the changes, but alas, 90 degrees will do I guess. For all y’all Northerners or East Coasters (I’m talking about you, sissy!), please PLEASE enjoy all of the pumpkin patches, leaves changing colors, hayrides, and crisp golden sunsets/sunrises for me. Since I don’t have any kids or pets to enjoy this time with, I can only remember how fun it was for me when I was growing up and the things I was looking forward to this time of year before you know, real life adult world happened. Everyone thinks it’s a cliché that Fall means pumpkin spice this and fuzzy boots that, but I think they just jelly because pumpkin spice smells GOOD! And fuzzy boots are warm. And Yoga pants are comfy. And hater’s gonna hate. This is my favorite time of year, and by golly you’re going to know about it-several times! ;)

My number 1 goal this year is to carve pumpkins for our house! I used to do this every year with my family, and haven’t been to the pumpkin patch since Kiefer was a wee little baby! I think we are going to try and hit up a Friday Night Lights game since we can basically walk to the high school. I haven’t decided yet if I’m going to decorate outside, but if I do it will be minimal since Halloween this year falls on a Saturday, in which UNT will be playing that night so it should be a fun tailgate (hopefully with some costumes!). Which brings me to another point, iiiiii need a costume idea. I was a cat/soccer player last year. At one point I was a football player a couple of times. And a nerd! But that’s nothing new ;)





Sometimes it’s hard just to stop work, work, work, gym, run, gym, clean this, pack that, go here, etc. so I’m going to try extra hard this year to really soak up everything, because who knows where I will be (well, still right here obviously, but you know what I mean!).
My number 2 goal is to also watch Hocus Pocus at least once a week. Because that’s about all I have time for on top of RHOC, Teen Mom, and Party Down South (man am I an adult or what?). My favorite Halloween movie growing up is Under Wraps, which they played on the Disney channel and the mummy came back to life and wanted to find his true love, who is also a mummy, by midnight or Halloween? I forget the details but it’s always my fave (besides the obvious).




BOO! (I love Fall some more) And who wants to go to Autumn at the Arboretum with me?

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 ...

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?! 

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter!  And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!):  #shorthairdontcare
