Christmas Wish List

It's a little crazy to me how early people start marketing/decorating for Christmas.  But since everyone is doing it, I thought I might as well share some of our list.

I decided that what I really need to take this blog to the next level is get a real camera. I'm not trying to become a professional photographer, but I do need a better way to document things besides my iphone. I'd really like to get a solid easy for beginners dslr camera.

 Kyle's big birthday/Christmas wish item will be a new gaming console....either the PS4 or the Xbox One. My money is on the Xbox but we'll see.Money donations will be contributed to the console fund. 

 After all of the awesome wedding gifts we've received..There's really only one kitchen item we still find ourselves in need of:

 I'm all about the online boutiques right now and my favorite is definitely Kiki LaRue! I loved their maxi dresses in the summer and now I'm all about the sweaters and ponchos! You can check them out here

 

 I'm also allllll about the adorable prints you can find here

Lots to be thankful for this year. Excited to give some thanks before the Christmas season officially begins this year. MY tree won't be up until after Thanksgiving.

Lovely Little Weekend

I had such a great weekend with my husband. I think I've had a little post-wedding blues and it's been hard to get back into the swing of things. A lot of people ask about how married life is. The truth is that not much has changed. We lived together before and were functioning as a married couple beforehand. There is an extra warm spot in my heart to be legal though.  We continue to grow and learn together...and continuing to date is a big part of that. This weekend felt like one big date weekend.

 

I did have to work on Saturday but Kyle always makes a point to do something fun after I get home from work. Our Saturday included some shopping and a date night at Chuy's.

 

Sunday we laid low, did some chores and met my dad for lunch at Twisted Root. It was delicious. I know that's old news around here but we forget to try new places ( Don't worry..we got in a Company Cafe breakfast today.) 

 

We are pretty lucky that some of the random holidays I have off from work are also bank holidays so we were both off of work today! We treated ourselves to breakfast at our favorite spot and then ran some errands ( read: chores). Our errands included three grocery store stops thanks to my high maintenance food needs and our addiction to Trader Joe's chicken sausage. Seriously, if you haven't tried their sweet apple chicken sausage you should get in your car right now.  

 

 We also picked up this cute little cacti.

 

 

I've had this itch lately that I just can't scratch. I think that since the wedding.. I am SO SO fu;filled in my home life and relationship life that it has made me examine the other parts of my life. You only get one and you are in control of it. I know that is pretty vague but I promise to expand a bit more later.

Going along with that, I've been contemplating the direction of this blog...knowing that it would be beneficial to narrow the focus just a bit. However, I still haven't decided exactly what my plan is so you will have to suffer through some random life ramblings for a bit longer.

And if you're reading this, you must be interested in some way so I must not be doing too badly. I'm open to blog focus ideas! What would you enjoy reading? What topics do you enjoy reading from me?
