Jumping Out Of Planes

For those of who may not now, my sister is a graduate of the United States Military Academy, aka West Point, aka the Army. That pretty much means she's a badass and can kick your ass, respectively. All kidding aside, I'm extremely proud of her and everything that she's been through the past 5 years to get to that point. We had the awesome opportunity to re-visit New York back in May for her graduation, which you can read about that here. Now my little baby Second Lieutenant of a sister is jumping out of airplanes at Airborne school like it's nobody's business. In case you don't recognize what that means, take a look:

To get to the good stuff, go ahead a skip to about 9 minutes in. Ready or not, it's your time to go!

So that's what she's doing. Right now. Any second. Today is the actual day that she is doing what's in the video. Be right back while I go re-evaluate my desk job and learn some meaning to life.

Love you Mal-Dog! Hope you're having fun ;)

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
