let's get this party started

Hello friends.

Now that we are home and getting back into the swing of things, I finally have some time to update this blog. A lot of people have been asking to hear about our trip so I have decided to post a trip report . Hopefully I will be able to throw in some useful reviews so that next time you find yourself in Hawaii you will have some personal recommendations.

Look for part one tomorrow :)

We are back!

And we had an amazing time.

Our wedding was everything that I wanted it to be, the company was great, and the honeymoon was so wonderful.

There is a lot to catch up on now that I am home {laundry, thank you cards, etc} but I will be back with more posts soon. Until then, here is a teaser pic from our photographer...

leavin' on a jet plane

Hey strangers! I've been absent from the blog for a while but for good reason...all week I've been tying up the loose ends getting ready for our epic Hawaiian vacation/wedding/honeymooon extravaganza!

So happy to say that tomorrow morning I will FINALLY be boarding a plane with this guy:

I can't quite decide if we look crazy or excited. Let's go with crazy-excited ;)

It's a good thing that I am exhausted tonight otherwise it would be really hard to fall asleep. I feel like a fourth grader on the last day of school.

And as if the trip and wedding weren't exciting enough, we are having a "How I Met Your Mother" marathon on the plane. Heck yes.

See you all in a few weeks!

five

Today is a special day...it's our anniversary!

Five years ago today we decided to be "official".

The past five years have been wonderful and I couldn't imagine spending them with anyone else.

Here are five random pictures from the last five years:

{day trip to the Grand Canyon while visiting Alex's dad's property}

{pumpkin carving sophomore year}

{dinner date on our one year}

{beach date}

{our first trip together was to Disney World}

Today also marks our one year "proposalversary" {yes, I just made that up}

Only a week left until Hawaii <3

the starbucks sunday that wasn't

I am exhausted.

Instead of a virtual coffee date with you, I have made a date with my couch.

See you on the flip side.

happiest season of all

There are only 2 months until Christmas!

This makes me very excited.

I have a lot of chores to do this morning before I head to work and you better believe I will be blaring the Pandora Christmas station while I do them :)

I'll also be dreaming about the Christmas crafts that I want to do. Like these...
