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 ;)

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

To cut, or not to cut...that is my question!

More like a dilemma. I've done it before, and I've grown it back out, so I can do it again-right? I feel like everyone has short hair these days (I currently have the longest hair on my team at work!) , and all I wanted when I had short hair was to have long hair again. Now that it's long (and gross and fried and ick at the ends) I want to go short. But then I have an awesome long-haired day and think I want to keep it long. Do you see my problem here? Summer is coming, so it's going to be up in a pony tail or bun most days, so that just seems like such a waste of hair. But I sweat a lot and since summer is hot, wearing it in it's intended short style probably wouldn't last.  What is a girl to do?!

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 ...
