happy birthday to me....

{birthday balloons}

welcome home

so A and I have been in our new place for 10 days now. we absolutely adore where we are now. the location is perfect and we have so much more room then we had in my tiny one-bedroom apartment. we are loving our little rental home.

10 days later....and we are still unpacking. i didn't think i had that much stuff to move but i guess i do. i would say we are about 70% unpacked and settled. it has been so great to be able to make this house our home. i felt like when A moved into my other place (even though it was just for a month), i still felt like it was "my" place. but now it feels different and we love it.

i figured i would let my iphone pictures do the talking. we are more unpacked and the boxes aren't completely taking over anymore (although we still have a good amount to unpack). i will do a little house tour once we are all unpacked. there are definitely things we want to get to fill our house a little more but that will have to wait. it takes time and dollars to make a house what you want it to be. little by little i am sure we will get there.

onto the pictures...

moving day. my little car was packed to the brim.

our new kitchen filled with boxes

a small part of our living room. ignore the hideous curtains. can't wait to get our own.

bought the prettiest tulips ever at whole foods. flowers instantly make a house feel more "homey"

can't wait to give you a little tour soon!

what i've been up to lately...

packing, packing and packing...

wedding thank you notes...

finally upgrading my phone...

beyonce

so this past weekend, i met a beyonce.

sorry for the reflection

if this means nothing to you - go read all about it {here} 

be warned - there is a lot of cussing. and for me, it only makes the story funnier. 

enjoy :)

back

hello dear friends.

i am sitting here on a sunday night thinking about how i want to be better about posting on this blog. i love blogging and documenting my life and thoughts. right now, i'm sitting on the couch with my hubby, puppy sleeping on the floor and pumpkin chocolate chip muffins cooling off on the stove and football on tv. it's the perfect time to update you on my y life as of late.

three weeks ago this weekend, i married my best friend. sounds so cliche but it is so true. we had a glorious wedding day. the weather was absolutely perfect and we were surrounded by our dear loved ones. our good friend eric married us that day and i can't even begin to describe how much we loved everything he said to us. we were so encouraged as we said our "i do's". the reception was everything i had pictured in my head for so many months before. twinkle lights strung above a little garden area made for the most perfect setting. we had such a wonderful time but my goodness it goes by so quickly.

monday after the wedding, we were whisked away to our 10-day honeymoon. off to vieques (an island right off of puerto rico). it was absolute perfection. gorgeous resort, wonderful tropical island, perfect sunny weather and the most relaxing trip ever. it is such a blessing to spend such precious time with my new hubby. pictures to come soon...

last week was our first week back in the "real world". it is bittersweet. nice to be back home but i still miss the beach and our view from breakfast every morning. but being home and having a hubby in the apartment is such a sweet experience.

and some fun little news...2 weeks from today we are moving to a new place. such an exciting time for us. we live about 20 minutes outside of greenville right now and we are moving up to the city. we are so happy to be closer to everything and have a bigger place. we are a little crammed in my one-bedroom apartment with a girl, a new hubby, a puppy who isn't little and a bazillion wedding boxes. i have already begun getting things ready to be packed up and getting rid of things that don't need to come with us. i love moving (true story) so i am excited for the next two weeks to happen.

that is all for now my friends. hopefully will stay committed to blogging more often. i made a list of things that i wanted to blog about so hopefully that will keep me on track.

and of course, i will blog wedding pictures (when i get them) and honeymoon pictures soon. i know there are some ladies out there who are antsy to see our pictures.

happy sunday night sweets.
