Weekends are for the Warriors, Part 1


Holy Weekend! What a whirlwind of events. Birthdays and weddings and drinks all around! I am so thoroughly stuffed from delicious food that I will not be eating until at least Thursday. I mean, freshly made banana ice cream? Woo wee. Homemade cake balls? Don't mind if I do! I convinced myself that I deserved every bit of Oreo pie that I ate, because by golly it was Labor Day weekend and I normally never self indulge-plus, all the homemade food, I'm sure you couldn't resist too. But wait! Food wasn't everything (it was just a constant!). 


We first made our way to Cedar Creek Lake on Friday night-and by "made" our way, I mean snail crawled for 3 hours through Dallas traffic-to spend some time with some good family friends at their lake spot. Cedar Creek was beautiful and clean and I always enjoy being out on the water regardless of which lake is beneath, but it was still nice to be out there with the sun beaming down and the wind in your hair. A picnic and an adult lunch-able didn't hurt either. It was my husband's birthday on Sunday, along with another friend so we had plenty of celebratory chocolate cupcakes and cookie cake to go along with it the night before! I think I'm still itchy from all of the mosquito bites. Itchy. 

 Highlights: Plenty of sunset gazing, a cutie pa tootie non-stop 4 year old want to play "kick the ball as high as you can" a bagillion times, the return of college football!, boat rides and sunshine, delicious dinners, celebrating birthdays, spending time with good friends, and a fun corn hole game.

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...
