Out with the old, in with the new.



2008 was a great year.
I'm actually really sad to see it go, but I have a
feeling that 2009 is going to be even better.

Why?

Well, I have a lot of things to look forward to:

- Beginning school again for my licensure. Scary, but exciting.

- A new blog being unveiled sometime early in the year.

- Some new home renovations.

- Comic-Con 2009 for my birthday!

- No Doubt tour after years & years of waiting!

Along with great things waiting on the horizon of '09,
I also have made some resolutions for the new year to
hopefully make it that much greater.

Resolutions for 2009:

- Lose those 10+ pesky pounds that
crept up on me during my
first year as a married lady.

- Believe in myself. I am capable.

- Stay more positive.

- Grow out my hair again (this may
seem silly, but it's truly a challenge
for me).

- Continue to grow closer to my little
partner in life: the hubs.

- Get serious & learn photography basics.

- Finally learn how to cook!

- Keep my creative juices flowing.

- Try to live in the moment & continue to
enjoy every minute of my amazing life.

- Be even more demonstrative with my family.
I love them & don't tell them quite as much.

- Continue to foster the ridiculously awesome
friendships I have made over the past couple
of years. I love you guys so much.

And with that, I hope all of you have a drunken
night filled with happiness and love, but please
be safe!

Goodbye 2008 & hello 2009!

Happy day of Turks.



I wish all of my readers and their families a very happy, safe &
gluttonous Thanksgiving! Remember everything you are thankful for -
it is amazing all the things we take for granted.

Gobble gobble!

Spooky Love

Happy October!!!!
October is one of my favorite months b/c I'm kind of a Halloween fanatic. Ever since I was a little girl I loved dressing up and pretending I was someone else entirely for one night. I am one of the few that list Halloween as my favorite holiday rather than Christmas (which I loathe by the way). So needless to say, I start early as far as my costume goes. I've had it sitting in my room for a good month now. Unfortunately, I am keeping it to myself so you'll have to wait until the 31st to find out!

Things also start cooling down, which in Miami isn't very drastic, but we take what we can get. Plus, it's my hubs' birthday month which always brings great memories; this year will be no different. We are planning a fun black&white party complete with poker theme and hopefully absinthe!

My love for October got me thinking about all those girls holding Halloween weddings this year and next year since it finally falls on a weekend after what feels like an eternity of mid-week 'weenies, which never really feel the same. I would have loved the challenge of planning a Halloween wedding. Why challenge? Well, it's extremely hard to plan a Halloween wedding without it being extremely garrish and tacky - I would have really enjoyed cooking up a classy yet fun one. Look at these adorable ideas:

Adorable, right?
I know, I'm in the wrong field. I've heard that many a time since I was planning my wedding back in 2006. Maybe one day I'll make planning fabulous parties a career, but for now I'll just share them with you guys!

Have a fabulously spooky weekend!!!!
Mine will consist of a date night with the hubs, a girls happy hour and a cooking photoshoot.

♥!!!

Happy Memorial Weekend!

There's nothing like a 3 day weekend!
Hope you all have an amazing time and please don't do anything I wouldn't. ;)

The hubs and I are flying into Washington, DC tomorrow morning with friends to attend a good friend's wedding in Virginia. Unfortunately, we are leaving on Sunday so we won't be able to do much sightseeing, but it should be a good time with close friends and beautiful scenery.



Congrats to the soon to be Mr. and Mrs.!
