Feeling Lucky!

Happy Monday, y'all! Just kidding, there's never really anything happy about a Monday. Especially after a weekend at the casino-which is how we spent ours. We are fortunate to have friends that actually want to celebrate such a milestone as turning  the big 3-0, and what better way to celebrate than letting the chips fall where they may (hoping it's on 13 Black or 5 Red) and hitting the jackpot! 

I'm talking Shreveport y'all-a short hop, skip, and a jump out of town right on the Red River. Where the casino never sleeps, the smoke never clears, and the drinks never stop. I'm not much of a gambler myself, but with a great group of friends it was a blast! I was able to enjoy other people winning without losing a buck myself! Win win if you ask me. Throw in a 3 hour private room dinner (ooo we fancy), several hilarious unexpected snap chats (not mine since I'm old and don't understand snap chat), and a chocolate birthday cake and I'm all set! 



Well, Starbucks tried.

Could be worse!

But first, a quick trip to Jimmy Buffet!

We all know how I feel about city lights..

Happy 3-0 Birthday, Webbie! And good ol Larry there for support just in case.

Always a fave.
So who's turning 30 next? These celebrations are fun ;) I would volunteer buuuuut it's just not my time yet.


Sadly, the only group photo.

And perhaps the funniest snap of them all, but I'm biased since I'm the one sitting in the Emperor's chair waiting for the peasants to return ;)

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...
