Boy Behind the Blog, New Year's Edition

In an attempt to stay up to date with blogging (meaning blogging more than once a month), I figured involving Robert would be a fun way to keep things interesting. He's my best friend, and my number one, and most of the time all of my experiences are with him, so it's only natural he gets to have some fun too.

I now present, the boy (aka husband, partner, baby cakes) behind the blog, New Year's Edition. My responses to his answers are [in these cool things]:

What are you looking forward to this upcoming year?
Spending more time with family and friends along with seeing the Mean Green go to a bowl game. 
[Okay, so it's a given that we will obviously make time with family and friends because it's one of our most favorite things to do, but let's not jinx our North Texas football juuuuust yet. We JUST got a new coach, but I do have to admit that I do have high hopes for the Fall. 1 win is just not enough for this tailgating family!]

What was your favorite memory from New Years past?
New Years at the deer lease when everyone and their spouses were there. 
[Yall-epic fail on my part. I don't remember what year this was for-maybe 2011? Wait, no it was 2010 going to 2011 because one of the wives was pregnant. It was really neat being out in the middle of nowhere with all of our significant others and bringing in the new year gathered around a camp fire. And then I needed to wash my hair.]

What is your proudest accomplishment from 2015?
Marrying my beautiful stinky wife. 
[Good answer. And he calls me stinky as a term of endearment, not because I actually stink. We are weird.]

What Is one resolution you'd like to try and keep this year?
Be a better Christian. 
[This is a great resolution and something we could probably both benefit from!]

What is one resolution that Danielle should have this year? 
Be a better practicing Christian. 
[I'll be honest, I didn't grow up going to church every Sunday-my church pews were on the soccer field, but with that being said this IS something that I've been interested in, and I think it would be great for us both to achieve this resolution together!]

Ta-da!

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 

Wedding Invites: DIY

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY).  2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock.  Here's what you need:  FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half

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
