Old, married woman talks bliss...

Oh, how my heart is singing!
And it sounds just like Christina Aguilerra's version of "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas".
Or that just might be what's booming from my iPad right now,
but either, way, I share her enthusiasm!

Marriage is bliss...
I know many of you are rolling yours eyes or closing out this blog or sighing with disgust right now,
but what can I say?!
Married life is everything I hoped it would be!
Granted, we are only one month in, but I've talked to some folks who wanted to kill each other after the first month, and Matthew & I are having such a BLAST!

I feel like I've left out so much of my life since my last post and that's why I could never do this blog thing professionally, but here's a summation:
Wedding Planning
Working Out
Counting Calories
Picking out bridesmaids accessories
Deciding what color shoes the flower girls should wear
Reminding my husband to get fitted for his tux every other day
Sweet pre-marital counseling with the Brewers
A wonderful wedding shower
Thank you notes
More working out
Getting waxed, plucked, microed, shaved, tanned, etc.
Freak out because I'm getting married in 4 days
Cry randomly in the mall parking lot
Gripe my mom out for no reason
Become giddy when I realize I'm getting married in 2 days!
Hang at the spa with my Mom & Bridesmaids
Laugh with bridesmaids
Cry with bridesmaids
Don't fall asleep at all the night before the wedding
Try to console my mother
Become very anxious all day of the wedding until I see Matt
Have the "first look"
Instantly become calm
Marry the most wonderful man I've ever encountered
Party hardy at our beautiful reception
Spend 8 amazing days in Cancun
Come home to countless gifts and a new future of happiness!!!!

Whoo! That's a LOT!

So, all that to say, I am back in the blogging world. We are deliriously happy. And Matt just announced via text that he misses me today; therefore, we're doing something special tonight...

Our first married grocery shopping outing!

These pictures are on Facbeook, but I feel like Betsy Lackey is pretty much the most wonderful photographer around, so I want to advertise her to EVERYONE! Her website is

 Mom said we MUST have pictures taken at Tech.

 My darling DSW shoes. NOT comfortable!
 Our amazing photographer.
 The park by the Windmill Museum.
 You would think they'd be dead in October, but there were mosquitoes EVERYWHERE!
 Fake laugh. Fake laugh.
 Who be there? My Momma!
 Sultry...


 This is about the time where a random Freshman girl came and talked to us and was enthralled with our shoot for a good 20 minutes. Cutie!


THE END!

The Art of Talking to a Pregnant Woman

I have previously written about peoples' funny comments to me which I thought were endearing and quirky so far. This last week, some of those comments crossed into the "that's none of your business" category. Pre-pregnancy I never posted one picture or video of what I do at CrossFit. Frankly, it's awkward to me to ask my coach, "Can you video me making funny faces and grunting while lifting this man wight? Thanks." But since I'm still lifting and doing CF during my pregnancy, I am proud of myself and wanted to show "the world" (i.e. Facebook) what it looks like for a pregnant woman to do CF. (b/c it's becoming more and more comical) With my first video, I had all positive comments. Lots of women my age really wish they would've continued working out during their pregnancy and vow to do so the next time around. Lots of women were so sick, they couldn't even think of working out. Since I've had s

First Blog Ever!!!!!!!!

I have serious doubts about my current writing ability post-college; therefore, my first blog will consist of a story I wrote in my Creative Writing class my Junior year at Tech. Don't be concerned because of the seemingly violent nature of the story...it's just a story. I don't need therapy...anyway. Enjoy~ Sweat dampened Arria's flannel pajamas as her bed sheets tightened around her in a constricting hold. Arms and emotions flailed in a frenzy of anxiety and hatred. Yet amidst all the confusion, she held the gun steadily as he stood, hysterical before her. All the pain he put her through, all the love and despise that consumed her accumulated in this one moment, and just as she pulled the trigger… Arria bolted upright as she remembered the same dream, the same ending, and the same loneliness. Rain and ice pummeled the roof of her red brick house; held back only by the careless, overbearing oak trees. She stepped onto her balcony unaware of the ferocity of

Official Proposal Story!!!

Image
So, finally, I will be telling you the wonderful story of how a regular date night turned into the most wonderful night of my life... Buckle in! It's a tear-jerker! Matt had told me earlier in the week that we were going to have Date Night Thursday night. He said he had been grumpy from his cutback on dipping and wanted to make it up to me. (I didn't think he'd been that grumpy, but I love date night, so I didn't argue.) I looked forward to it all week, and then Thursday came around and he sent me a text asking me to wear his favorite B/W sleeved dress. (Oddity #1) He's never asked me to where something before, and I might have complained a bit since it had sleeves and it was a scorching 102 that day! But, I conceded. Then, he said he'd pick me up at 5:45 (Oddity #2). I figured that was a bit early, but I was just happy that Matt was planning our date night out so nicely. So, I had been wanting to get off work a bit early that day, but it just wasn't so. The
