5 Randoms

I love lists. The End. 

Orrrr maybe it's the beginning, but it's definitely the perfect recipe for this nasty, cold, gray, wintery Sunday (not) Funday that we've got going on here. 


5 names people like to call you other than your real name:
1. Dani (stemming from early soccer days when it's easier to yell "Dani" than "Danielle" while running on the soccer field)
2. D (Dani was shortened to D lol) 
3. Babycakes. Only my babycakes calls me this <3  
4. 7th grade I was known as Birdie because my last name is a bird...clever!

Good ole soccer days. "Dani's ball!"

2. Loan Officer/Mortgage Professional
3. Sales Associate at Puma

1. Titanic. My fave.
2. Remember the Titans. My other fave, and one I always watch when it's on TV regardless what part it's at.

4. Grease. Finally can understand the "adult" humor

Navy Pier Farris Wheel 
North skyline view from The Signature Lounge on the 95th floor of the Hancock Building. I really really REALLY love city lights.

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

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
