New Year Goals 2016

Ahh sweet New Years. The time to reflect on what an awesome, trying, beautiful, stressful, lucky, hard adultting life is. Thinking back, I did post about what I wanted to accomplish for 2015-before our wedding, honeymoon, and all that jazz. As far as sticking to my resolutions I give myself a B Grade. Always room for improvement in every aspect, I say!
Throwback to last year's 2014 to 2015. 

Time really does just seem to fly by in the blink of an eye, so I've recently become inspired to maximize the time that I have. I love to read-anyone that knows me can tell you that. I almost always have a book on my night stand or in my car. But at the same time I'm stuck in my ways. Most of the time I'd rather re-read a book or series that I've read a bajillion times already vs having to find something new and out of my comfort zone (Harry, Ron, and Hermione I'm talking to you, and I already miss you guys!). So something I'd like to accomplish this year is to read more (new) books. Branch out and see what else I've been missing!

**I hit up the local library to begin, and was surprised to see most of the books that I rememeber being so into during my formidable years were still there! And relevant. Like the Nancy Drew series had their own spot on the shelf. It made my heart ache a little in happiness but also a lil sad because I've grown up and don't get lost in those stories anymore. Shout out also to you, Goosebumps!


I want to continue to be healthy and make the best choices for myself. I want to continue representing myself in the best way possible. I don't want to be just one thing. I can't be. I want to be brave, and I want to be selfless, intelligent, and honest and kind. (Divergent reference, anyone?). Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I'm cold and don't want to change out of the sweats I'm wearing even though I probably shouldn't be wearing my fuzzy pants to the store. It's a day to day battle, and comfort almost always wins. Purple onesie-I'm talking to you!

I want to be a better Christian. Because that's all I am right now, a Christian. I don't go to church, haven't read the bible in a long time, and I know that doing those things don't necessarily define who you are as a Christian, but it's something that I've been interested in in a long time and don't really have a starting point. Tips, tricks? Just go and start my own journey? I believe that this is something that will be beneficial to being a better version of myself, but also a better wife, better couple, and better everything.  

What are some things on your New Year's list?

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...
