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!

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

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
