One Year Later!

Well here we are one year into this thing called "blogging." At first it started off as a way to keep family and friends included with my wedding planning (hence the name...), but now that that's over and done with it's been a welcome challenge to not only get out and enjoy life and do things that I think are worth documenting, but also provide a challenge for me to try new things TO document. I hope to someday be able to look back at these times and remember the who's, whats, whens, wheres, and whys, and hopefully have a good laugh about it!

My life isn't perfect, and sometimes being positive isn't my first instinct, but blogging has been a way for me to reach out of my comfort zone and instill the habit of being positive first off and looking at things a different way and to implement that in every day life. (awesome run on sentence, right?) I've also had the chance to see/know/visit other bloggers that I incorporate into my daily routine that are a positive influence, and I'm motivated by seeing them so happy in what they are writing about. 

So cheers to the next year! I honestly don't know what's going to happen or have any expectations, but I'm ready to roll with it and get it going, whether you're reading this or not. This has been something for me to document and look back on, but for those who ARE and DO read (the here and there and in between my sparse updates), thanks for joining me and Happy Early Early Thanksgiving! 

Thoughts of the week:
-I might have a teeny tiny crush on the new Justin Bieber. His style is too cool for me, but he is a little cutie and Sorry gets stuck in my head all the dang time. Is is too late to say sorry now? 

-I thought I was ready for the cold. Boots and sweaters and scarves oh my! But in reality, today hit below 60 and I'm so not ready. Not even a little bit. 

-Please take the leftover candy away. Thank you. 

-We were invited by a friend to the Margarita Ball this weekend in Dallas. Any thoughts, tips, tricks, things to expect? 

-I wish I had a need to drink coffee all day err day so I could enjoy it and be all warm and cozy, but I'm always perfectly fine without that caffeine so I don't get to enjoy it as much. Otherwise I'd be bouncing off the walls and shake like a 90 year old trying to put a fork to mouth, and that's no good for anyone. Queue my water bottles. Meh. 

-Next week is Thanksgiving and I had no idea it snuck up that fast. Yay for 3 day weeks + 4 day weekends, seeing my sister, food, family, feasts, and a deer lease trip. 

-Now I have that song Bouncing Off The Walls Again (whoa ohhh) stuck in my head because I was singing it during my coffee metaphor. One more song for the radio station!

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...

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...
