Los Hermanos: Couple's Shower

This past weekend Robert and I had our Couple's Shower that was generously hosted by his parents at Los Hermanos. We had most of our family/lake/deer lease friends there, and my parents finally got to meet everyone who I've been getting cray cray with over the past 5-6 years! It truly is overwhelming the amount of support that we have from all of our family and friends, and I'm just lucky that I found a fiancé who has such a great family and tight knit group of friends that welcomed me with open arms.

I think my face is just now getting back to normal-I was almost sore this morning from smiling and laughing so much yesterday, and it really is just a great problem to have! Robert's parents and his sister had such a great set up too-from the bridal dress cake to the bride and groom cake pops (that were so SO delish and I failed to get a pic of, wahhh), which were all homemade. I'm a sucker for the little things and all of these sweet little things are so cute and make my heart happy.

I cannot thank everyone enough for coming out to celebrate in some way or another, stemming back from last January when we first got engaged, and it's just going to be a blast in just a few short weeks when this all becomes REAL!

Friday afternoon we had our meeting with the venue to go over everything, so yea, this is happening-like for real.

[[Just a snippet of all of the awesome goodies that we received. THANK YOU!]]

[[Also, check out these super cute goodie baskets that my future MIL made for the winner of the games-I swear they should all go into a wedding shower business or something!]

I will probably be saying Thank You to anyone and everyone for probably the next 5 years. Come on, April!

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 ...
