Happy 1 year wedding Anniversary Weekend!

 A year ago today I was at the best and most fun party of my life surrounded by family and friends celebrating the marriage to my favorite person in the whole world, my best friend, and hubby! What a year it has been for us, but I feel we have grown and become closer especially since we live 1900 miles from family! I can't wait for more adventures to unfold and all the laughs and smiles along the way!

This weekend we went to Fredricksburg Texas which was super cute! We grabbed lunch at a german restaurant, went to the pacific war museum (for free thanks to being in the military:)), went in to a couple shops on main street, went to a fun pasta place for dinner, played mini golf, then found a movie theatre and watched The Green Lantern! We headed home this afternoon after having a yummy breakfast at a local breakfast place ( I had eggs benedict:))

Here are some photos from the weekend!

PS. Happy Father's Day to all the new fathers, old fathers, and grandfathers today!!

Back in NY!

After a long 12 hour day of travel from Texas, I arrived in NY! My parents greeted me at the airport and we headed home. To my surprise, they had made me chicken riggis! I had soo missed them since I moved and was so excited that my dad found a recipe and made them they were delish!

It has been a nice couple of days visiting with family! I have also gotten into full grad school mode. We start on Monday and I have already been reading the assigned readings as well as looking up topics for my big thesis paper this semester. 3 classes will definitly be keeping me busy!

I recieved one of my text books here in NY as well as my new pair of sassy pink adidas running shoes! But unfortunately there was a mishap with the post office and one of my books for school got forwarded to Texas. I had a minor breakdown but realized that it would be ok for 2 weeks without it.

It has been a good 10 to 15 degrees cooler in New York! Im used to 90s and 100s in Texas and the 75 degree weather and even 60 degree rain weather makes me quite chilly! Hopefully get to go for a walk in my new sneaks and break them in so I can start running again!

In our nation's capital...

Our wedding was absolutely amazing!!! A recap to come soon!! We are in Washington DC on our honeymoon till Friday!!!!

2nd dress fitting, dentist, and pandora beads

Yesterday was quite a busy day!! I headed to the dentist for my cleaning and sadly it was my last time there. They gave me my dental records, I have gone to this dentist since I was little! Then I headed to the bridal shop to try on my dress to make sure all the alterations were good! Beautiful job!! Then I gave them my veil to get pressed along with my dress...will be picking it up the thursday before the wedding!! Then I was on the hunt for pandora beads lol I received a beautiful pandora bracelet from my parents for my bday and wanted to get some cute colored beads! After searching Michaels, I ended up finding some at AC Moore!!

Check them out! I got a pink and blue colored beads and then two silver charms one with love written on it and the other with music notes!!
Today is kinda rainy and cold and dark out so im watching Legally Blonde 2, getting inspired for my Washington trip and then may head to the tanning bed!

Happy 25th birthday to me:)

So today I moved out of my apt and back into my childhood bedroom lol It only took a couple of hours to move the furniture and clean up! Then I headed home to put everything away and set up my bedroom. Most of my stuff from my apt will be getting sold but my clothes computer needed to be set up.

Then we all ate some yummy food: hotdogs and hamburgers on the grill, goulash, corn on the cob then yummy yellow cake and chocolate frosting! After eating I opened my presents. My sister and bro in law got me a pretty summer scarf, a fabulous vera bradley head band, and a cute wall hanging that says Sassy! My parents got me a beautiful pandora bracelet with two charms, one bride and groom and one present and fabulous red compact jewlrey box. The bracelet is a little big so once i get a smaller one I will take a pic of it!
No work tomorrow but Tuesday is my last day! Then Thursday I have my apt walk through then summer vacation/unemployment begins lol

Countdown till the wedding 27 days!

Bridal Shower and Bachelorette Weekend!!

Below are some pics from the shower!!

Then after the shower, my sis and I picked up one of my bridesmaids who had just gotten back from her honeymoon the day before and headed to our local casino to check into our hotel and get ready for the night ahead! Another one of my girlfriends met us at the hotel and got ready with us and brought some Coors lite and Mich Ultras! After we were all sassed out, we called a cab and met two of my other girlfriends at the casino for dinner. I had a yummy buffalo chicken wrap and had a great time chatting with all my friends! Then we headed to the nightclub there Lava, to dance the night away! We definitly had some creepers trying to dance with us but we looked out for each other!! I wore a bride to be crown! A co-worker of mine at the water dept also is a security guard there so he got us all in for free and gave us our own cabana to relax in when we got hot and tired from dancing!! Below are some pics from the hotel and Lava!

Dancing the night away!!

Fabulous night...waiting for the taxi to pick us up!

I had such a wonderful weekend with all my friends and family!! Im happy I didnt work today because I am still a little tired! Tomorrow starts my last week of work and this is my last week in my apt. I move this Sunday, which happens to be my 25th birthday, so May is really starting to fly by!

I booked our first honeymoon!! (yes we are having two..hopefully lol)

So the fiance is in the Air Force and starts pilot training a couple months after we get married and 10 days after we get married he has to go away for a month of training. Thus honeymoon plans were never my top priority. I understood that with the military life you have to be flexible and as chronic planner, it is a hard adjustment. Anyways, the fiance knew my dream honeymoon would be on a tropical island laying out in the sun enjoying a fruity drink and spending quality time with him. He would rather wait to plan this honeymoon so we can go longer and not have pilot training in his head, hopefully a Sandals resort. Instead, he came up with option of taking a shorter honeymoon right after the wedding for a couple days before he heads to training for a month.

So the monday after our wedding we will be flying to......WASHINGTON DC!!! I am soo excited, I have never been there and have wanted to go soo bad!! I know its dorky but I wont fee like a "true" American until I see the White House and all the monuments. We are staying Monday, Tues, Wed, and Thursday Night and flying back Friday.

Latham Hotel in Georgetown

I am soo excited to plan tours and all the destinations I want to go to, museums, the best restaurants, and maybe check out the Real World DC house lol


Jefferson Memorial!

Lincoln Memorial!!

Smithsonian!!

If anyone is from the DC area or has ever been there, please let me know where I should go and any advice you may have!!
