Sadly another weekend has come and gone and it's the dreaded M word. The least favorite day of the week. We spent ours cozied up inside and staying warm. Right now we are on a movie kick the past couple of weeks: Star Wars Episodes 4-6, the new Star Wars (in my case), The Big Short, Concussion, Creed, Straight Outta Compton. Recommend all of them, for a different array of reasons. But because my brain is still on weekend mode, currently I'm:

Loving: fuzzy pajama pants all day everyday. Which was the majority of the weekend. as previously mentioned. Trying new recipes (thrown together crock pot lasagna and strawberry banana blender muffins). My pumpkin vanilla candle that still has a little bit left in it from the Fall. 

Watching: Teen Witch. Soo 80's, but I used to love this movie! I'm also slightly obsessed with the new Shannara Chronicles on MTV, the return of Teen Mom, Pretty Little Liars (5 years later!), and the Challenge. (RIP Diem *tear*). Basically reality TV heaven for me, which is my guilty pleasure.

Listening to: Cruisin' down the street in my 6 4...thanks to Straight Outta Compton. 

Reading: I just finished True Believer by Nicholas Sparks (as a part of my goal to read more) and as usual, pulled me in and now I want to live in small town USA on the East Coast. Gah. 

Dreaming of: tan legs and warm toes. Hash tag Winter Woes. Also wanting to expanding our family and adding a furry friend soon. Not sure the husband is on board with that one yet. 

Eating: I had a bad craving for the chocolate covered acai berries that Brookstone carries, so we went to Costco to get a big bag, and they did.not.have.them. World ruined. And then I got the Cherry and Tahitian Vanilla flavored and was slightly appeased. BUT THEN the little girl scout came a knocking and now my best good friends Samoa and Savannah Smiles are keeping me company. 

Learning: Frame making. Coming soon.

Obsessed with: blogging. Reading my favorite ones from start to finish. I'm on a roll this year with posting more, and I'm proud of myself for keeping this going. Sorry not sorry for blowing everyone up about it ;)

Planning: I have big plans ideas for our living room, bedroom, and kitchen. Our house is dark with not a lot of natural light and it drives me nuts. So I'm about to lighten this baby up!

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
