On Marrying Young.

So this year is wrapping up and it’s time for the annual existential review of my life. Yet another big year for me, obviously, on account of the fact that Daniel and I got married. Young. We got married young. We are definitely not alone in this as I can’t even begin to count on both…

Slowly, then Suddenly.

My goodness. Sorry for the double-a-day post, but I just took a moment to re-read a few of my older posts (on account of the large year I’ve been having) and came across something I wrote in April of last year entitled, “How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.” In it, I referenced Hemingway’s…

1 Year Update

So here we are exactly 1 year after purchasing my home. This entire blog is geared around transitioning this Texas girl to a new life in Oklahoma. It’s crazy to me that this epic year of life changing has come and gone, much like I had assumed it would. What a huge and amazing year it…

ColoRADo.

I know, cheesy. But it’s my blog so I don’t care. Daniel and I had an absolute BLAST in Colorado. I mean, new love for life kind of blast. Not so much a new love for western Kansas, however, which consisted of most of our 10 hour drive. We got to climb sand dunes, go…

Summer Body Fitness Challenge Goals

Oh, you know me. For awhile now, I’ve actually been in a pretty great place, weight-wise. It’s slowly coming off and in a way that’s kept me sane (the occasional cheat meal is a-okay!). Back in October, I reached an all-time high weight of 164 lbs. Earlier this week, I broke the 150 mark and…

Yoga Studio

So my lovely and adorable husband has turned our garage into my own personal yoga studio. That’s right, he’s completely forfeited his ONE domain in our home (or half a domain, as we were only using half of the garage for his garage gym and half of the garage for the car) and installed rubber…

Alaskaaaa

THEN I went to Alaska. We were back a week before I left for a week-long work trip to Anchorage! It was absolutely amazing. I actually checked a bag (which I’ve never done before), spent 7 straight hours on a flight (which I’ve never done before), enjoyed the land of eternal sun (which I’ve never…

Wedding and Honeymoon

So, so much has happened. For starters, Daniel and I got married. And I learned that all of those little details I wanted to be perfect, I never even saw (no, seriously, I’m waiting for the photographer to give us back photos so I can actually see what our wedding cake looked like. I truly have…

The Good Life

Holy crap. I’m getting married this weekend. Repeatedly people have asked me if I’m “nervous” or “excited” yet. At first, these kind of bugged me because 1) for some reason I resent girly excitement over such matters and 2) I’m so ridiculously sure that this is right that I have no worries. But as we…

Great Gatsby Release

I know, I do a lot of gushing about how great Daniel is, and its because he really is, but today I would like to highlight his feigned enthusiasm over the release of The Great Gatsby today. For example: Now, I need to explain that there’s a lot being said with that exclamation mark there,…
