6 things I love for 6 years of love

A long long time ago, in a galaxy far away (okkk so just up the road in good ol Denton, TX), a 22 year old boy asked/told a 20 year old girl to be his girlfriend late one night after a graduation party. This was about 5 months into their friendship. The young girl didn't know what she was getting herself into, and luckily she took took a leap of faith and looky: after a summer of pool parties and summer jobs, they became a 28 year old husband and a 26 year old wifey this year, and they lived happily ever after!

6 short (or long) years later (I can't decide if it's gone fast or gone slow), and here we are! Over half a decade of love. moving closer to double digit years every single day. How is this my life? I love that this is my life!

I also love...

1...the way that the husband kisses/hugs me goodbye every morning while I'm snoozing until my actual alarm goes off. we also play this game of him trying to grab my feet through the covers, and it makes me remember how I used to play that game with my childhood kitty, Gory, except that she had claws when she caught my toesies. owie. <3 

2...our fake accents that we use to talk to each other in. no normal english communication around this campsite! do you geeeet wat i am sayinnggg (in a cross between borat and making up my own dialect). can't be too serious, you know? 

3...being vain here: i love how handsome my husband is. especially when he wears black. or navy. or white. or teal. or pretty much everything. jeans and rolled up sleeves on a button up? khakis and a t-shirt with a backwards hat? *swoon* 

4...that he has the travel bug now! so far I've managed to get him to travel to mississippi (crossing over arkansas and tennessee to get there), the bahamas, new york city, baltimore, washington dc, back to new york city, and hopefully plenty more places to come (in and out of the country). 

5...how handy he is and is becoming. he has made several projects from scratch (including a table to go behind our couch and a knock off pottery barn head board), and not to mention that he stained our entire fence and arbor to make it look pretty and cherry-woody. next on the list is re-landscaping our front yard. oh the life of a homeowner! i'll do the pointing and tell him where to put things and he can do the labor because he looks good at lifting things ;) 

6...that he loves me the same regardless of if i actually did my hair or not. or showered or not. or am sweaty and gross and smelly. he has seen me at my worst and still loves me like it's my best. 

Love, love.

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...

Yummy in my Tummy

Hope everyone had a great weekend! 'Tis the season for Friends-giving, Thanksgiving, Sweater Parties, and Christmas! We are finally getting to the part of the year where just about everything weekend from now until the end of the year is filled with some sort of activity. Last weekend we had a Friends-giving, and this weekend we had a birthday, a friendly get together, and a REAL Thanksgiving. Fortunately I only had to bring dessert, and figured I'd share a super easy dessert item that I've made 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Normally at Thanksgiving at my Parent's house I am in charge of the dessert items. I can cook just about anything, but desserts and baking are NOT my specialty, so it's a good time to practice. These don't have a "real" name, so I call them Oreo Funfetti Cake Bars, and I found the recipe on Pinterest. Robert and I LOVE Oreos (more like addicted...) and this was right up my alley of ease. What you'll need: -2 packages...
