He Does Laundry and Farts...

Remember when I told you guys about our anniversary last week and shared that mushy line about Michael being the best thing that has happen to me?....
Well…
I just knew all ya’ll have been on the edge of your seat since then, wondering how my hubby makes my life better. So given that I have had 2 glasses of wine since watching The Bachelor…I decided to give you all a few examples of why he is no Tom Cruise but still completes me.

-When he passes gas, he fans it in the opposite direction of me.
-He accepts my recent snoring.
-While in New Orleans, he hungout in a gay bar with me, while I scouted out a gay male best friend.
-Also, while in New Orleans…he held my hair back from touching the toilet.
-A couple weeks ago he decided he wanted to cook a great steak for himself…instead each of our dogs had a VERY well done steak for dinner that night.
-Instead of turning the radio off when I proceed to show off my singing abilities, he just turns it up louder so it saves him a headache and I still get to become Carrie Underwood in the car.
-He did laundry that one rare time…and he went from attractive in my eyes to me wanting to jump his bones right there on that clean laundry pile!

-Last night he poured me a glass of wine...to the top of my wine glass. He understands me so well...
-His way of cleaning is spraying Febreze.
-He gives me more comments when I wear burnt orange! (Hook’Em Horns!)

2nd Anniversary

Good Morning to All! :)

Two years and a day ago, I was blessed enough to marry the world's best driver, a baseball loving trash taker-outer, a omelet making comedian, and the best vodka drink maker in all the land!
Anddd after 2 years I still wouldn't trade him for anything! :) Because he is the best thing that has ever happen to me! 

Happy Anniversary to us!

No Longer MIA

Hey Hey!

Longtime no chat. 

I have been completely tied up lately and not in a good way.  I feel as though I should apologize but like a fellow blogger told me last week "Life Happens." and she was SO right. So I'm not gonna apologize for my blog being on the back burner the last couple weeks.  I love my blog but my family comes wayyy before anything else. I do feel as though I should explain myself a little because I don't want to come across as a phony and act though my life is all unicorns and rainbows. 

A couple weeks ago my small family unit and marriage were tested in a way that makes me even more thankful for the few awesome people I have in my life. My marriage will always be something I consider a accomplishment so I'm definitely not one of those people who think marriage is easy or something that doesn't take love, hard work, patiences, compromise and forgiveness. My family and I are moving forward from the last couple weeks and look forward to our futures. But in the meantime I'm looking forward to catching up with the followers of my blog! 

Thanks for being AWESOME! :) 

Here Comes The Bride...

Heyyyy!

Happy Humpday!

This past winter my dear sister became engaged to the love of her life and yours truly was of course nominated to be the Maid of Honor. Whaaa Whaa! Bachelorette Party. Here. We. Come. But before I get to bust out a move on the bar, just like she did at my bachelorette party, we have to come together for the more significant details of the wedding. So this morning I received a text asking when would be a good time for us to go bridesmaid dress shopping. **This totally reminds me that I need to get my ass on the treadmill before this wedding in April.** But we discussed going a few weeks from now and when she should send out her save-the-dates. Like most brides, to my sister the dress is probably the most important aspect of the whole wedding. She has put a lot of energy into finding her perfect dress, finally after a few months she found "the one". I'm very happy for her and if she loves it...I love it.

But for me when I was planning my wedding the dress wasn't as important to me as it was finding the BEST photographer. I said from the beginning of my planning that I would prefer to spend more money on my photographer than another element of the wedding. Weird? Maybe. But the idea behind that was...when the Hubs and I are 100 years old and we are bat shit crazy, our photos will still be around even if our minds are not. To this day I have gone through my engagement, bridal and wedding photos at least 3 times in the last year and half and I'm never disappointed that we spent extra for our fabulous photographer, Krystle Akin.

So, what was/is the most important wedding planning details to you?

Flowers? Photographer? Food? Dress?   

I'm gonna need to order this before the Bachelorette Party weekend!

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday Everyone!

 

This weekend was JL's first baseball tournament for the Fall, we were all looking forward to it because it meant we were not going to be sun burnt and drenched in sweat from just being outside for 10 minutes. JL has played year around travel baseball for the past 4 years, which makes us very busy...year around. The Fall season is always my favorite mainly because I get to wear sweatshirts the whole weekend. It is the small things in life, right?!

 

We love our #4!

 

Anyways, on Saturday we drew the 4:00 and 8:00 games, which are game times I will never complain about because all that means to me is that I don't have to get up at the crack of dawn.Our 4:00 pool play game went great...6-4 win.

 

JL & his cousin Rhaina

It's hot chocolate. Not coffee, folks.

 

A legit cold front actually moved into Texas Saturday, so the weather was set for us to be playing baseball in football weather. Again. No complaints from me. But some of the other moms were cold and I was craving a white chocolate mocha so after our win we loaded up and made a trip to Starbucks...to wait 40 minutes in line. Usually I would say eff this line I'm out of here but that warm liquid heaven was really calling my name. We made it back to the complex in hopes to win the next game and then head out to dinner with most of the team. Right about the time the boys were taking the field, it started lightening and raining. We all loaded up in our cars waiting for the rain to pass...45 minutes later they finally cancelled our games. We all got checked into our hotel rooms and got the boys rounded up to go to dinner at 9:30. Dinner was great, lots of laughs between the boys and parents. Finally at 11:45 I got myself and JL in bed while a few of the dads were partaking in some adult beverages in the parking lot since we had no clue if we would even play the next day.

 

The next morning we got the call that the fields for to wet to play on and the rest of the tournament was cancelled. It was pretty disappointing considering we drove all that way, spent a few hundred dollars and only played 1 game. Since the weather was 75 and gorgeous, we grabbed Olive Garden (JL's favorite place.) and headed home to catch the Cowboys' game.

 

Spaghetti and lemons for lunch.

 

The hubs and I watched the game on the patio with the dogs while JL went to the football field with his cousin to play around.

 

She is such a classy lady when she crosses her legs

 

My nosy, Scooter

 

Even though we didn't get to play much baseball and the Cowboys lost, the weekend was still a great one. Cooler weather...Starbucks...dinner with friends...and sleeping in...It is the smaller things that make it great, right??

Five on Friday

Mornin' Lovebugs! 

Glad you decided to grace us with your presence.

Do I seem extra chipper this morning?!? It's all because I got my mind on my wine and my wine on my mind. Yes. I knowww it's early but no reason to judge a girl, I'm just thinking for this even when I get home from work. (I'm gonna pretend you believed that.) 

Its Friday, so you know what time it is, kids?!?

Five on Friday with the lovely Darci at The Good Life. 

                                           

-ONE- Wednesday night I watched Lady Gaga on Watch What Happens Live with my wanna-be BFF Andy Cohen and I think I came to the conclusion I like Lady Gaga. But strictly in a she says whatever the hell she wants and doesn't care what people think kinda-way, and I love that!

-TWO- Today I would like to give thanks to my Sigma Kabuki brush, it doesn't get credit where credit is do. But for real, who ever saids Sigma brushes are not as good as MAC brushes needs to be handcuffed to Miley Cyrus for talking crazy like that! I promise on my wine glass they truly are better than MAC brushes.

-THREE- I miss hog huntin' when it's cold! We always have such a good time! 

-FOUR-I'm really looking forward to the State Fair of Texas, which will start at the end of this month! Yay for, FRIED EVERYTHING. Lets be clear that's one of the main reasons we go! 

-FIVE- My awesome new throw pillows because there just so darn cute....can I ask why they are called throw pillows!? Anyone? 

Hope all you beauties have a GREAT day and weekend!

Love, Marriage & 25lbs

First comes LOVE, then comes MARRIAGE...then comes 25lbs attached to your ASS!

With only a year and half into my marriage I find myself guilty of being comfortable with my hubby and not "trying" as hard as I did when we were dating! I think most of us ladies can relate to this on some kind of level. But with that being said, the Hubs will even admit to gaining the "first year fifteen" as well. 

So why do we get complacent with ourselves in the first few years of marriage? 

 I know for me, I made sure my hair, nails, outfits, skin and body looked a certain way everyday I was around the hubs when we were dating. To the point that I was borderline obsessed with the way I looked. It was my MAIN priority! Then came the proposal, I made even moreee effort during the planning of my wedding to make sure I was completely put together!  But after March 3rd, 2012 it all went down hill from there! But not in a "binged on Twinkies the day after my wedding" kinda down hill! It was gradual, 1 "cheap day" turned into 2 days....then into from the time I got off work Friday until I went back Monday. I found myself getting lazy with my food prep and planning my meals, along with traveling with JL's baseball team that would have us eating out or on the go the whole weekend. So now I find myself just as pissed as I was when the college "freshman fifteen" jumped aboard! 

Soooo....starting TODAY these extra lbs are gonna have to move the hell on...because my ass is not the place for them! :)


I had to post some of my bridals just to give me that little extra motivation to pull myself together! :)

Throwback Thursday-What 6 years looks like...

Ohhhh, how we have changed! The top picture is the Hubby and me when we first started dating in 2006 after a longggg and eventful night in College Station! The bottom picture is one from our engagement shoot in 2012. 

I find myself staring at this picture wondering how many times I've actually seen my Hubby without facial hair...maybe a couple times?
