I'm walking on (in) sunshineeee!

Literally. Friday Fair-days. Saturday Six Flags. A summery-end to whirlwind of a birthday/first day of fall week. All of my most favorite things, all together. <3. 

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who took the time to wish me a happy birthday. I was pretty apprehensive going into this one, but it's not bad. Not bad at all!! Besides, age really is just a number, right? 
For my birthday, all I really wanted was to go back to the Bahamas. Hence my background. 

Secondly, hallelujah for FALL. My (middle) name sake (not Fall, but Autumn. Same diff) My jam. ME. I love the smell of the weather cooling off in the mornings. And the slight cool snips that we are getting in the breeze that is only confirming that summer is indeed, ending. I really want to organize my closet and bring all the goodie warm clothes out to the front, but I would look pretty silly trying to wear boots and a sweater when it's still 95 degrees out. #Texasfail


Mmmmm. 

THIRD. The State Fair of Texas has officially begun. And we have officially gone to opening day 6 years in a row? Or was it 5? Maybe 7? How old am I? I forget these things. But as tradition holds, fried food was eaten (fried autumn pumpkin pie and dumplings to be exact), cool drinks were enjoyed, and new memories were made. Not to be outdone by previous years, the return of the bungee jumping was seen. This time flying by the cover of night. It wasn't a bat, it was me. I think I officially shocked my newly accustomed 27 year old young body with a perfect shot of Friday night adrenaline. Oh wait, that was the 5 roller coasters I endured in less than an hour on Six Flags Saturday! 




Confession: I only come for the lights <3 

SIX. As in Six Flags Over Texas. Another sunshine-y day filled with walking and (gasp!) no lines. In all my years and times that I've been, I had never been during the "Fall" season, and I have to say, not having to wait in line for Batman (my fave), Mr. Freeze (also my fave-and totally different what the what?), Mine Train, Runaway Mountain, and the "new" Texas Giant was not bad at all!! Probably was because we got there when it opened, but I digress. I hate to admit that I think shocking my body so much in the past 24 hours really caught up, and for the FIRST time in my existence, I felt sick from it. BUT but I then cured my sickness with some Watermelon Sour Patch (they work wonders!) and I was back in the game. Fortunately we had already gone through everything we wanted so it was a nice walk (in the sunshine) for the rest of the time. 


The feels. The feeeeeels. 

And now I officially need a foot massage. 7 hours at the fair and 6 hours at Six Flags will do that to you. And I'm probably going to find an excuse to just wear boots already. Don't judge. Week 2, whatcha got for me?!

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...

Fiesta! Fiesta! Fiesta!

Viva Fiesta! Viva San Antonio! Viva la Alamo! This past weekend we spent a (short) day squeezing in all of our normal Fiesta activities since Robert and I thought last minute that it would just be too weird if we had missed out on our annual Fiesta trip that we've gone on the past 5 years. So we road tripped it out on Friday afternoon (BIG mistake) and finally made the 4 hour journey in about 6 hours-thank you Dallas traffic and thank you 18-wheeler for hanging off the bridge in Hillsboro; I just love being stuck in your traffic for an hour and a half while we watched a thunderstorm rapidly approach going 0mph on the highway. Goodness gracious. But we made it! And Jessica was there, amongst her peeps for the first time ;)  Saturday started out pretty slow. I had all of these expectations for Jessica to see and we get to the Market Square and it's pretty empty. THEN we tried to hit up our annual photo booth spot and they were closed. So we went on a walk and ended up down b...
