Christmas Time 2015

Well hello! I couldn't go a whole month without squeezing in a post, even if there is no theme. The theme is Christmas, I decided. Can't believe it's next week and then on top of that, the end of 2015 altogether. What a Christmas season it's been, and it's not even over! I decided not to make a Christmas bucket list, because I'm notorious for not fulfilling it, so I sat back and enjoyed where our Holiday season has taken us. I was feeling a little scroogy at first and wasn't willing to put up our Christmas tree this year because just wasn't feeling it, but I'm glad I did! It's so pretty, and there really is nothing better than Christmas lights against the dark. Especially when Elf, The Santa Claus, or The Polar Express is on. I haven't seen Home Alone-am I missing something?! 

We started off the month celebrating my dad's 21st birthday, and in between have squeezed in some last minute Stars action, my sister's graduation from Fort Lee, an Army/Navy game that I didn't get to attend (boo), Christmas parties and goodies and sweets (oh my!), a beautiful FALL leaf changing week, an impromptu Christmas card photo session, Robert's first band concert experience, courtesy my old high school, new stockings for my parents' mantle (hellllo husband!), receiving our Christmas gift for each other this year (a rug for our living room! You know you're a home owner when....), a new favorite drink (green tea latte!), and a last minute adult version of Elf on a Shelf aka Mariah (who likes to rendevou with Uncle Si...). Not to mention a whole week full of Christmas spirit attire (ugly Christmas sweaters anyone?)!

Overall it's been a great season, even though it's always a shame that things we love and look forward to the most seem to fly by the quickest. <3

Cheers to the three (3?!) Christmas parties this weekend, tameles, a short week next week, Christmas Eve with both families as a married couple, and enjoying the meaning of Christmas, because sometimes we forget. Also check out Batdad on Instagram or Facebook. You won't be disappointed! 




























Happy December to all! 

And Merry 2015 Christmas, from us!

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...

Friday Confessions

Ahh, we made it! Finally to Friday! The first of the New Year (minus New Year's Day). I tried to mentally calculate how many more Fridays there are until next Christmas, and then I tried to Google it instead when that didn't work and found I didn't even have the brain cells to accomplish that, so I for one am super PUMPED that it's the weekend because my brain be FRIED! I can't even think straight, much less put together anything that makes sense at this point, which is why the following sentences are random:  Sometimes Usually when I lay on my side and am reading or on my phone, my eye will leak and it looks like I'm crying but I'm really not. I'm just leaky Post First Monday inspiration hit hardcore Saturday night. Probably the main cause for our pecan dinner as well. Can't wait to see finished product!  I received a onesie for Christmas and legit spent all of New Year's Day (and then some) in it already. I highly recomme...
