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.

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

To cut, or not to cut...that is my question!

More like a dilemma. I've done it before, and I've grown it back out, so I can do it again-right? I feel like everyone has short hair these days (I currently have the longest hair on my team at work!) , and all I wanted when I had short hair was to have long hair again. Now that it's long (and gross and fried and ick at the ends) I want to go short. But then I have an awesome long-haired day and think I want to keep it long. Do you see my problem here? Summer is coming, so it's going to be up in a pony tail or bun most days, so that just seems like such a waste of hair. But I sweat a lot and since summer is hot, wearing it in it's intended short style probably wouldn't last. What is a girl to do?!

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 ...
