Boy Behind the Blog, New Year's Edition

In an attempt to stay up to date with blogging (meaning blogging more than once a month), I figured involving Robert would be a fun way to keep things interesting. He's my best friend, and my number one, and most of the time all of my experiences are with him, so it's only natural he gets to have some fun too.

I now present, the boy (aka husband, partner, baby cakes) behind the blog, New Year's Edition. My responses to his answers are [in these cool things]:

What are you looking forward to this upcoming year?
Spending more time with family and friends along with seeing the Mean Green go to a bowl game. 
[Okay, so it's a given that we will obviously make time with family and friends because it's one of our most favorite things to do, but let's not jinx our North Texas football juuuuust yet. We JUST got a new coach, but I do have to admit that I do have high hopes for the Fall. 1 win is just not enough for this tailgating family!]

What was your favorite memory from New Years past?
New Years at the deer lease when everyone and their spouses were there. 
[Yall-epic fail on my part. I don't remember what year this was for-maybe 2011? Wait, no it was 2010 going to 2011 because one of the wives was pregnant. It was really neat being out in the middle of nowhere with all of our significant others and bringing in the new year gathered around a camp fire. And then I needed to wash my hair.]

What is your proudest accomplishment from 2015?
Marrying my beautiful stinky wife. 
[Good answer. And he calls me stinky as a term of endearment, not because I actually stink. We are weird.]

What Is one resolution you'd like to try and keep this year?
Be a better Christian. 
[This is a great resolution and something we could probably both benefit from!]

What is one resolution that Danielle should have this year? 
Be a better practicing Christian. 
[I'll be honest, I didn't grow up going to church every Sunday-my church pews were on the soccer field, but with that being said this IS something that I've been interested in, and I think it would be great for us both to achieve this resolution together!]

Ta-da!

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
