Life's Little Lately's

With life happening so fast, it's hard to keep up with what we've been doing the past few weeks. Sometime you just have to stop and smell the...

...afternoon root beer floats that are courtesy of the leftover ice cream in the break room freezer, and the free root beers in the vending machine. Score!


...little baby sunflower plant that husband bought for me to "care" for that has begun to sprout!


...Cinco de Mayo doggy sombrero.


...name change. Practice makes perfect, right?


...a little bit of signage that I've been doing. Congrats are in order both one marriage and one engagement!
 


[[favorite sign!]]

...freshly planted flowers + new mulch that husband put in because he can't sit still long enough for anyone ELSE (named 'wifey') to plant herself


...impromptu trip to the Lonestar Race Track in Grand Prairie. Not sure how I felt about the actual horse racing (don't those whips hurt?!), but gosh the horses were so beautiful. And it took me back to when I was growing up and obsessed with horses (my barbies has their own stable. Black Beauty anyone?) and how I signed up for the horse activity at summer camp, only to not pass the test that would allow me to ride the trails, so I had to ride around the enclosure. My poor 8 year old self was just heartbroken.



...perks at working at such a great place where we are fortunate to have a thing called "Employee Appreciation Week." Sort of like Homecoming week in high school, where each day we can dress as the theme and have a game, except instead of a dance we have a happy hour out back. Because we are all grown ups like that. With no high school drama. And I can wear Stars and Camo stuff, and have a snow cone, because I'm cool.
 


...a doggy who looks guilty but just can't help himself when he sees a tissue to shred.

[[If I sits on it, maybe the humans won't notice]]


And a random dream where I could have sworn there was a spider on my pillow, which then resulted in me freaking out and waking up still trying to get it away from me, which then woke up the hubby. I just haddddd to turn on the light to juuuust make sure, but even though it was light in my dream (like with the nightstand lamp on), I still was paranoid after that and I could just imagine it sitting on my pillow getting tangled in my hair. Yuck.

...and last but not least-an epic #throwbackthursday to our trip last year to NYC, where we saw Luke Bryan up close, hit up a New York Rangers game at Madison Square Garden, got to see my sissy (right after we got engaged!), messed around with all of the Super Bowl stuff (which was happening the following week), take epic pictures of our view from the Empire State Building, and walk around Times Square several times (since our hotel was pretty close so it wasn't a bad walk to it every day). And we get to go back again next week-hopefully like 80 degrees warmer than last time! <3

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 ...

Winter is Coming..so is a Wedding!

Burrrr! Today is a balmy 40 degrees outside-and I'm definitely not ready for it despite my scarf-wearing, boot shopping fashion choices since September, hoping to "force" Fall to actually happening, but now that it's here: go away! Or at least just get a liiiitle bit warmer, so I can still have fun in my dozens of scarves and boots, but not freeze my ass off. Ka-peesh? My parents like to kindly remind me of what's to come in December, since we are going to the Army-Navy football game in Baltimore. Last year in Philly was just awful (and by awful I mean freezing, rainy, icy, cold, hungry, wet, sweaty, repeat) but a blasty blast being in a new city and living through new memories being made.  Any hoo-Even though I'm not snuggled up at home on this festive Veteran's Day (thank you to everyone who has served!), warm in my bed, I still wanted to touch on some wedding related topics: vendors. This could also be fun to read AFTER the wedding in April, to loo...

Water Wars Week 3

Week 3 Update: Just chugging along! Both literally and physically. Week 3 is now in the books. Can't say that much has changed since Week 2, but I'm also waking up thirsty and drinking a little bit of water before I eat breakfast and then almost a full 20 ounces on my way to work in the mornings to get the day started. I do tend to "slack" on the weekends (not by much though!) because really, who has time to carry around a water bottle and find a bathroom every hour-especially when you're not home. I do the best I can, and still drink water with every meal too. I can tell the difference though, because by Monday I feel dehydrated and crave water.  I have WAYY more energy than I used to. I'm not sluggish throughout the day (unless I really didn't sleep good the night before), so I be kickin' it all day errrrday.  I feel like my skin is the same. It's not as "changed" as I was hoping (expecting?), but also my skin wasn't that...
