NT State Fair


First off-Happy Freakin September! Whaaaat?!

In an attempt to actually keep up and document our shenanigans, especially for the start of my favorite part of the year, I present our annual Friday night NT State Fair-"celebrating" back to school, kick off to the start of football/fair season, good country music, better friends, and a pretty good time. 

Highlights: 2 Hurradura shots of tequila, chilled and dressed at El Guapos. An epic selfie. Free koozies. Making a stop home at our old Gateway stomping grounds! This is also known as THE place that Robert and I met, became friends, and lived happily ever after-until we had to move out at the end of the summer. So many memories! 

Lowlights: A hot sweaty mess of a crowd. Awful lighting for pics. No Wendy's on the way home because I forgot to stop and I was tired. Womp. 


Honorable mention goes to the Saturday afternoon hang out with the in-laws followed by a small patio watch party for the rest of the Cowboys game at a family friend's house. 









My balcony, exactly where we first met!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter!  And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!):  #shorthairdontcare 

Wedding Invites: DIY

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY).  2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock.  Here's what you need:  FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half ...

To cut, or not to cut...that is my question!

More like a dilemma. I've done it before, and I've grown it back out, so I can do it again-right? I feel like everyone has short hair these days (I currently have the longest hair on my team at work!) , and all I wanted when I had short hair was to have long hair again. Now that it's long (and gross and fried and ick at the ends) I want to go short. But then I have an awesome long-haired day and think I want to keep it long. Do you see my problem here? Summer is coming, so it's going to be up in a pony tail or bun most days, so that just seems like such a waste of hair. But I sweat a lot and since summer is hot, wearing it in it's intended short style probably wouldn't last.  What is a girl to do?!
