I have a 24 year old sister!

Happiest of Birthdays to my 24 year old!! 24?? Wasn't I just 24, like a year ago?!!!!

It wasn't too long ago that I was yelling "eat it! eat it!" during a shielding drill at soccer practice our senior/freshman year of high school, as I sprint tackled my sister and was forcing her face to the turf-all in good fun I promise. Or that she was giving the Maid of Honor speech at my wedding, referencing said "eat it" example. Remember that time when I couldn't stand you because you wanted to wear all of my clothes, be friends with all of my friends, and like the same guys I liked? Not to mention being in half of my classes all year because you just had to do the same electives and athletics that I did? What were we thinking!!? I missed out on many years because of my constant companion, but I would go through all of that all over again to get to where we are today! My best friend! My sister from the same mister!  My proudest accomplishment, because-and lets be honest-without me being the *awesome* big sis that I am, you wouldn't have done anything like soccer or band and who knows what you'd be doing today ;) 

My forever Halloween buddy, Karate kid side kick, matching outfit partner, and fellow family weirdo: 





So happy 24 years on earth today! Our little blonde Shirley Temple turned grown Second Leuitenant. Love you like a sista! <3 <3





And now, come home already!!!

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...
