SIL is edumacated!

Shout out to my newly graduated sister-in-law Priscilla on her commencement day for her MBA! Way to kick off Mother's Day weekend with a bang! I met young, quiet Priscilla the first year that Robert and I were together, and have seen her graduate high school a year early (2010), then go on to graduate with an Associate's Degree, then switch major's a few times until one finally stuck and she STILL graduated college a year early in 2013 with her Bachelor's. Now she's loud and giggly and add a Master's Degree to the mix and girl, you are way more in love with school than everyone I know put together. Now quit studying and let's have some fun! 

Friday started off with me being able to sleep in until 7 am (yes I consider that sleeping in based on the fact that I was getting to work AT 7 am the previous 4 days), and working on my posture (crowded bleachers and knees in my back for 2 hours = a straight back and square shoulders!). The speeches weren't too bad and dare I say felt a little inspired to "never work for free!" And of course we got to enjoy some *awesome* humidity that hits you full blast in the face (and hair!) when you walked outside. So that's what all that tornadic racket was last night Texas? Bringing us this moisture, oh thank you! I I also took a side line visit before lunch to the Social Security's office since I was already up in Denton, and o-f-f-i-c-i-a-l-l-y changed my name so I could become a Mexican. Free tacos and guac fo life! Just kidding on the guac part, but project name change has been activated! A wee bit sad (bye bye middle name Autumn), but also exciting that both husby and I are officially official! Woo hoo!

[[ Woo hoo! ]]

Saturday we continued the celebration and enjoyed her graduation party at Ojeda's, where ironically about 6 years ago, I was first meeting all of Robert's family at HIS graduation party at the same place! This time around though, I actually know the family and friends, but also, with a weird dejavu feeling in the mix, the weather was the exact same, my hair was still long, and we drove in Robert's truck, same ol same ol.

Congrats again, Cilla! Hope you had a great weekend and now it's time to live life without books or papers or grades to worry about! 


Now onto the next...Can't wait to celebrate my sister's graduation from Westpoint in a couple of short weeks (plus a bonus trip to NYC to start it off). When did everyone get so smart 'round here? 

Ps. Happiest of Mother's Day to all the Mommas out there. Especially my mom who loves unconditionally and is always there for us no matter what, and my new mother-in-law who is a great example as well!

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...

Sunday Confessions

Sooooo I meant to post these  Friday   Saturday  Sunday confessions a couple of days ago, but alas life happens. And it's been a chaotic week. Yay for warmer weather (sorta!) and Super Bowl Sunday but here's what I wanted to post on FRIDAY that I'm just getting around to. Blog fail. So I watched Grease Live! this past Sunday (as in a week ago now) and I can't stop thinking about it. And I may have watched it again...all 3 hours...twice. Did anyone else watch it? The original was an integral part of my childhood, and one of the only movies we watched over and over at my grandma's house, so it's one of my all time faves and I may have gotten a wee bit emotional at the end. The feeeeeels.   I was going to attempt to go do some of this "30 days sugar free!" nonsense starting beginning of February. Then I forgot that Valentine's Day was in a couple of weeks. And we have chocolate everywhere. And Girl Scout cookies. And then it was so and so's bi...
