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 o...

Mid-Engagement Craziness!!!

Image
I know, I know. It's been two whole months since I have blogged and I feel really bad about that. I'm telling you, this blogging thing still overwhelms me, but then I get such kind people telling me how much they like to read my blogs and that makes me feel so good that I keep writing...except when I don't write like I've been doing lately and then I feel bad... So, I'm just gonna break the cycle and no longer justify my lack of writing b/c of my engagement (which has been AMAZING), thank you for asking! But, I'm afraid I am going to talk predominantly wedding jargon, so forgive me... or enjoy,   whichever you prefer! So, yes, I have had the most chill, stess-free, fun, enjoyable engagement than anyone I have ever encountered. After my last post, where I was having panic attacks and freaking out about everything, I have been GREAT! Oh, but I just realized that was the last thing I wrote about, so now I'm doubly sorry! Don't worry, I haven'...

Branson - The Hottest Place on Earth

So, you might have thought Lubbock, TX was the hottest place on earth, but I'm afraid you were mistaken. Branson is definitely hotter. Like 100 degrees and 90% humidity hotter. I felt like my body was used to it though b/c I didn't die. Last week my family headed up to Branson, MO, aka "Vegas for Old People". No offense to older people. And actually, it's gotten a lot better over the last 5 years. The outlets are awesome (especially COACH)! The restaurants are nice. Especially Landry's! And my siblings thoroughly enjoyed their outings to Silver Dollar City. With and without the children. So, we went to Branson for a family reunion and it was really nice. It was a very short trip for Matt & I b/c we only drove down (12 hours) w/ my cousins on Thursday, stayed two days, and then came home. Agh! This is Matt being cute while sleeping. And I had the privilege of staying in the same suite as my two lovely twin nieces who decided 6:30 AM was an appropriate time ...
