saddest day yet...

Since the end of January, I have wanted Hunter Rain Boots.

Specifically, in the turquoise color.

I never bought them in January because we had just had Christmas, they were expensive, and I was poor.

...even though I found them in the color and my size on Ebay for $80. Big regret.

At the time that I was having the dilemma about getting them or not, Alex eased my soul and told me he would get me some for my birthday in October.

He's nice to me. That's why I kinda like him. ;)

It was a long time to wait, but I figured it would be the perfect time to get some since Winter would be starting shortly after my birthday.

Well folks, October--my birthday month-- is next month!

So last night, Alex and I were looking online to buy them...

...and that is when the saddest thing ever occurred.

Hunter Wellies discontinued their Turquoise Rain Boot and they are NOWHERE, I repeat nowhere, to be found anywhere.

Now what?

Well, I guess I will just have to get another color that will be just as cute, right?

Right.

Should I get Red or Yellow?...what do you think?

rooftop concert

Friday night was epic.

We went to Sammy's and got some delicious pie shakes

...i got raspberry cheescake, Alex got pumpkin pie. yum.

After hittin' up Sammy's,

we went to a free outdoor concert that was on the rooftop of a parking structure.

We watched the Vibrant Sound, whom we had never heard before but were quite entertained with,

and Imagine Dragons.

We love them and actually knew the drummer and keyboardist

...but they both recently quit in order to pursue another direction.

All in all, it was a good time and we had a pretty good view of the stage :)

I apologize for the picture quality.

...i forgot the camera and all we had was Alex's phone.

Oh well...

Here's a video of Imagine Dragons performing my favorite song "It's Time."

Happily Ever After

Are princesses real?

haha

So I found this video on a friend's blog and had to share it on my own so all of you can see it, too.

I just love little kids and they never fail to amaze me with their knowledge.

They all know so much more than I think and it just shows how much of an impact you can make on a little kid.

I hope you like this video--the beginning of it at least--as much as I do.

pinterest

Where have I been?

Sitting in the dark in a deep cave?

Yes, I have joined pinterest and a virtual bulletin board with random pictures may sound dumb

...but it's not. It's awesome.

And addicting.

And I LOVE it.

chocolate chip cookies and salsa

Oh yes I did!

I made chocolate chip cookies with my new turquoise kitchen aid that we just got from Alex's sweet nanna. I love that little lady!

It might just be me, but I think they might have been the most delicious cookies I have ever eaten.

It's all because we used that magic machine I'm in love with...it whipped the sugar and butter and everything else delicious until it was like whipped cream. It just looked beautiful!

And it tasted even better than it looked!

Wish you were there to have some

...NOT!! Then I would have to share. :)

Is it not the cutest thing you've ever seen?

Delicious, whipped cookie dough

Ain't he darlin'?

She's more darlin' though, right? JK JK!! ;)

My new glass "goodie display case" that I bought from Williams Sonoma.

LOVE it!

My domestic little self also made some homemade salsa (without a recipe even!)

and it turned out great!

Alejandro (I though his Spanish name would be suitable for this post haha) loved it and ate almost all of it in one sitting!

What the heck?

I guess that will have to be a treat from now on ;)

we are da honeymooners

We went to Cancun, Mexico for our honeymoon

and it was romantic, relaxing, fun, and just perfect!

...not to mention sex(y) ;)

I wouldn't have chosen any other place:

it was a beautiful, all-inclusive resort where we enjoyed several infinity pools that overlooked the warm ocean, cabanas on the sand, and virgin drinks free of charge and at my every beckoning call.

Not to mention, we had free room service open to us 24 hours of the day and three fantastic restaurants on the resort--all of it was included in our all-inclusive fee!!

Welcome to paradise!

Yeah we're models... ;)

Lookin' pretty tan, eh?

Love him!

Pina colada by the pool? Why yes, I will have one!

One of the beautiful restaurants by the ocean...

View from our balcony/deck...unbelievable right?

Martini anyone?

We did a mini day adventure where we rented a two person speedboat and then snorkeled out on a beautiful reef--we saw a nurf shark, some baracuda, tons of fish, a sea star!

Alex was in heaven driving that boat!

I got to drive the speedboat--fast and fun!

On our last night, one of the restaurant waiters asked us if we were celebrating anything and we said our honeymoon. At the end of our meal, they brought us out this extravagant chocolate fudge dessert that said "Happy Honey Moon"...well actually honey was spelled wrong and it looks like moon is spelled moan. "happy honney moan" BAHA!!

You should go to Cancun...your world will be changed! ;)

the BIG day

Yes, I got married a couple weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving it!

...besides the fact that life is expensive. Ugh.

August 13 came and went so fast and I honestly can't believe everything that has happened

Everyone that I loved and cared about so much came and attended the wedding or reception

and Alex and I were were so lucky to have the love and support that we have.

...but I wish we could have seen these people more. I feel like I only got to see everyone for five minutes. :(

While I don't have a ton of pictures from the wedding yet (and I will be sure to post them as soon as I get them), here are a few taken from the wedding and reception:
