Painting with a Twist!

This past weekend I got to do something that I've always wanted to do and just never did, until we just...did! Painting. With a twist. The twist probably meaning BYOB and what not, so there were some pretty interesting conversations and people watching going on. Including a 12 year old Birthday Girl talking about her "5 shades of gray" paint on her canvas, and the lady with the club dress (with heels!) that definitely thought it was appropriate painting attire. We went with a group of friends and it was a blasty blast! Definitely want to go back since they had some really cool looking paintings on the walls that I want to try.

I'm more of a drawer, not a painter, so this was fun to branch out and see how it came out.

Begin!

Add some dark scary sky and a shark fin road:

Action shot!

That is NOT a chocolate covered strawberry....

Got some trees in there

Annnnnnd the finish! I ruined my most perfect sky (from above said pic) because I accidentally got a white streak right in my sky and had to "try" and fix, which ended up not being the right color and my awesome mix of sky clouds turned more into an abrupt storm cloud.

Boys did good!

Us! As a whole!

Overall it was pretty neat and can't wait to try again! It's great for a group, or just a couple of people to get lost and try something different for 3 hours.

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...

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! Robert, Me, Mallory, and her ...
