Post T-Day

Oh my goodness. I hope everyone had a fabulous fun, wobble till ya gobbled, love filled Turkey Day! I've been sick all week long (coughing, congestion, headaches, the works), but still was able to put that aside to enjoy the most beautiful clear blue, sun-filled sky with my family. My sister is in town so we were complete. My dad was up early getting the turkey in, and the meal was yummy in my tummy as usual. And Robert delayed his trip to the deer lease so he could eat with us, so I am especially grateful, thankful, and lucky for him :) AND my whole family. We are the only ones out here in Texas so I hate to stray from Tradition. OH and my "Sex in a Pan" Dessert was nomnomnomnom (good). I'll have to post the recipe later on. It was also very simple and customizable, and I remembered to take pictures this time!
You can see the beginning of my food baby. Otherwise that sweater dress was not the most flattering thing to wear!

Kiefy even had some fun getting dressed up! If you're on Instagram, look up #BabushkaDogs...you won't be disappointed! 

This weekend is filled with not trying to go all out for Christmas shopping. I've finished shopping for almost everyone, so I'm way ahead of the game, but geeze this decorations! I'm addicted and it's terrible! We might have a bare tree this year since this is the first year we have an actual sized Christmas tree, but most everything else is decorated. We are hoping to find some good deals after Christmas at a reasonable price. 

Also during my stressed induced Christmas decoration shopping, I decided to check where I'm at for wedding stuff. My sister is in town so I'm itching to finally show her all the things I've done so far. According to the timeline on Pinterest, I'm ahead of the game (knock on wood). I went this past week to get my alterations started on my dress (I wasn't feeling the greatest but the appointment was already set so had to endure it), so hopefully my dress will be done by my follow up appointment in a few weeks! I've already got my veil, shoes, and earrings but GEE WIZ I cannot for life of me decide what I want to do with my hair. The seamstress was almost chastising my mom and I for doing the alterations so early due to "weight fluctuation" from now until the wedding. Lady, I've been this same size since high school, I don't think I'm going to have any issues. We told her to take her time, no rush, but she didn't want to have it hanging there waiting to work on, so it should be done in early December. Works for me-and one more thing I can check off my list. 

Most people that I've talked with say that these next few months leading up to the wedding are just going to fly by. I don't think I'm ready to fly just yet, but I still can't believe that we are allllllmost to the actual YEAR we are getting married in! It's like this "thing" we talk about but don't really think it's an actual thing but know that it will be soon? I still don't see myself as a "bride" and don't feel like I am old enough to be doing this, but also have to stop and remind myself that I AM 26, college graduate, full time job, new house owner, grown up adult. Time sure does fly that's for sure. This is my new norm. <3 

 PS. Target had these adorable Christmas koozies in their $1 section. Since we are avid koozie collectors, I thought these would be super cute for all of our Holiday parties! 
I mean, are those not the cutest?

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...

Fiesta! Fiesta! Fiesta!

Viva Fiesta! Viva San Antonio! Viva la Alamo! This past weekend we spent a (short) day squeezing in all of our normal Fiesta activities since Robert and I thought last minute that it would just be too weird if we had missed out on our annual Fiesta trip that we've gone on the past 5 years. So we road tripped it out on Friday afternoon (BIG mistake) and finally made the 4 hour journey in about 6 hours-thank you Dallas traffic and thank you 18-wheeler for hanging off the bridge in Hillsboro; I just love being stuck in your traffic for an hour and a half while we watched a thunderstorm rapidly approach going 0mph on the highway. Goodness gracious. But we made it! And Jessica was there, amongst her peeps for the first time ;)  Saturday started out pretty slow. I had all of these expectations for Jessica to see and we get to the Market Square and it's pretty empty. THEN we tried to hit up our annual photo booth spot and they were closed. So we went on a walk and ended up down b...
