I hope you all are doing well and I miss you guys!! Oh and Merry Christmas!!! I have been so busy with weddings, graphic design and other projects (including my new local blog <a href="http://starcitywed.com/">Star City Weddings</a>). I had to stop in and say HELLO and share this cute little project that I did for my daughters teachers. They are glass ornaments filled with vintage book page pieces. They were so easy to make and I had a blast doing them. I really hope their teachers appreciate them.<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5686023071930180210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 226px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwghUzvc-KPHxQ3YWhlK0_hSpLZhH7RpEDvQI3daQCChgJz70VlNggs8qiKZVXi5SiqJrsrglL4BScl1f6J1p_IOYxqkUxfdT_elfesodcswFHHQQm0gVN5D2UhyhKWqbDxfvYR4JxQPQ/s400/Bookpage+ornament.jpg" border="0" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" />My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-27434467796998008382011-08-11T11:12:00.002-04:002011-08-11T11:18:02.266-04:00Featured Again:: Munaluchi Bridal MagazineOur wedding was featured on the revamped <a href="http://munaluchibridal.com/real-virginia-wedding-jeana-steven/">Munaluchi Bridal Magazine's Blog</a>! If you have not hear of this magazine you are missing out. Its a gorgeous magazine for women of color. It is done beautifully and curvy brides of color can have a real inspiration of what their wedding day could be. I've mentioned before that I think that there is a lack of inspiration in the bridal world for women of color and I am so grateful that we now have something beautiful to see! Go Munaluchi Bridal, thank you so much!!!

Its been such a great year and I don't care what anyone says, a marriage is not just a piece of paper, it means so much more than that. I think our relationship has taken on a whole new life since getting married and I love the path that we are on. We went to Savannah and had a fabulous time, its so gorgeous there I didn't want to come home. We saw one couple taking e-pics on the riverfront, one couple taking e-pics in the beautiful Forsyth Park, a gorgeous bride taking bridal portraits (her dress was fabulous), and two weddings, love was most definitely in the air. We had some fabulous dinners and was all over Savannah, I love the little shops. I chickened out on the ghost hunting tour at the Sorrell-Weed house, I just couldn't do it, lol. My gorgeous hubby on the River Front (he had on his new Armani sunglasses and D&G Watch that I got him for our anniversary): <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEian0EsABGoLTRHEOvtxW3f_vltBDfOwNHmgZIcJ17cUwGbHP2r_PwsGyLPCxEwMsOjfzH32yuaPxgG1-Z-puIlLD3R1tzs37ebrwWxkRdUTAzHA3MELnbRRAW2q13tE5tY9itcsdAwLQI/s1600/DSC_1634.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590443700788800418" style="DISPLAY: block;

How is everyone? I know its been a few months since I posted but our one year anniversary (What?!? Where has the time gone?) is just a few days and I just had to pop on here and let you guys know what's going on.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">First of all I have landed my dream job...I know you might be scratching your head because I did announce that I started my own company, but thats just a hobby and I need a real job with real benefits. So anyway, do you remember my gorgeous venue? Well thats where I work! I'm the Assistant Event Facility Manager! So awesome, its a fun and a great job and we are working on alot of promotional ideas, upping their social media input and adding new services. Its truly exciting and wedding season is just around the corner, how fun!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Hubby and I are off to Savannah, GA this weekend for a little getaway. Our anniversary is Sunday, March 27th and its been a great year. We will of course be enjoying a private carriage ride, great dinners and until last night we were going to ghost hunt but that is out the door because I was dumb enough to watch Paranormal Activity 2 and now I'm way to wigged out to do it. I can't wait I heard it was a gorgeous city. His gifts were so much fun to buy, I can't wait to give them to him.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.ballastone.com/images/savannah-carriage-tour.jpg" /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://www.homeaway.com/webdav/site/ha/shared/seo/section-list-icons/Travel%20Idea%20Article%20Images/SpookiestCities_Plantation.jpg" /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We are currently looking to purchase our own home and leave the in-laws (even though they are a tremendous help). Its going to be a huge and long process because I'm super picky and won't settle. Because we didn't rack up credit cards in college or rent an apartment our credit scores are a little below 680 so we will work for the next 6 months to build that number so we can get at least 97% financing. It sucks that you're punished because you don't have a credit card history. Anywhooooo we'll just work on that and begin looking. If we have to do the 20% we will but we'd rather pay 3% down.</div></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyway, thats about all thats going on at the moment. I've missed you guys but sometimes life gets in the way and I'm so busy that any spare time I have is given to my wonderful, gorgeous, caring hubby and my two sweet babies (well they're not little babies anymore but I still call that because its hurts to see them grow so fast, lol).</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" />My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-25153774680858251792011-01-13T14:21:00.006-05:002011-01-13T14:28:23.442-05:00Splendid Wedding Co...blog & Etsy store!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia5tnAPl7YCrQ_bL1bFEPs_cqwisBWG0odpN2FCTphH1DlIHQOlM5q6unfrv9AhtQsL919jSPIZD2RnRBNG25wD7prW_rjZrkgzWkGEcwO7SIDzVHUzIBxj81WZO7pSBhOv7Vnc7xg_Rw/s1600/LOGO+10-24-10.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5561753515144887186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 169px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia5tnAPl7YCrQ_bL1bFEPs_cqwisBWG0odpN2FCTphH1DlIHQOlM5q6unfrv9AhtQsL919jSPIZD2RnRBNG25wD7prW_rjZrkgzWkGEcwO7SIDzVHUzIBxj81WZO7pSBhOv7Vnc7xg_Rw/s400/LOGO+10-24-10.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>I'm starting to add more entries to my <a href="http://blog.splendidweddingco.com/">Splendid Wedding Co. blog</a>.

I quit Facebook...I was always on there and for what reason? To see whats on peoples minds? No to simply be nosey and share my life with some people I barely knew. I had photos of my wedding, my babies and everything else in between. I found myself constantly checking my Facebook to see if someone replied to my status update, sent me a message or tagged me in a photo. It became all too much and I just thought "what the hell am I doing and why?" I had my phone attached to me at all times so I could pop on Facebook every 5 minutes, I had it at dinner, I took it in the bathroom, and I confess I checked it at stoplights while driving. Not only that but article after article keeps popping up about Facebook and how they care nothing about your privacy and I decided it was enough and just said forget it! So if you were my friend on Facebook and you want to keep in touch, I'll be here or hit me on my cell phone.<br /></div><div align="center"></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5552763981698206962" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 250px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 284px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKIxJ4AuGd4Lj028Br-efsqjo8uNggQc-immh2RkU0a2fMqD-zxN9fFByPgWxcMYdoM0jxZE-4eEnV7uRJ6nnvMAJLwZ2gcsP16t01alaGiHj5ESJGn22ZlqzR35i30VRPso4v-IBwBHk/s400/500x_facebook-trash-gizmodo.jpg" border="0" /> <p align="center">{<a href="http://gizmodo.com/5534736/more-reasons-why-you-should-still-quit-facebook">Photo Credit</a>}<br /></p><br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" />My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-61168917001340844362010-12-05T20:28:00.001-05:002010-12-05T20:28:18.413-05:00Our Christmas Cards | 2010<div class="sflyProductPreviewWidget" style="width:425px; height:494px;"><div class="sflyProductPreviewWidgetTop" style="height:6px; background-image:url(http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/top.gif);"></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewWidgetCenter" style="height:482px; padding: 0 6px 0 6px; background-image:url(http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/bg.gif); background-repeat:repeat-y;"><div class="sflyProductPreviewLogo" style="width: 105px; height: 34px; padding: 14px 0 0 14px;"><img src="http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/logo.gif"></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewContainer" style="height:350px; text-align:center; padding: 0;"><a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery"><img src="http://images-community.shutterfly.com/prs/v1/0AYtHLVs2bOGTg/0AYtHLVs2bOGTuwg/p/67b0de21b3127d902548/JPEG/1291598769000/0/"></a></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewMessageContainer" style="height:55px; background-color:#f4f4e9; text-align:center; padding: 15px 0 15px 0; line-height: 19px;"><div class="sflyProductPreviewTitle" style="font-family: arial, sans-seris; font-size: 15px; color: #333333; font-weight: bold;"><span>Goody Garland Christmas 5x7 folded card</span></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewSEOText" style="font-family: arial, sans-seris; font-size: 13px; color: #333333;"><span>Shop Shutterfly.com for elegant <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-photo-cards" style="color: #6666cc;">Christmas photo cards</a>.</span></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewViewCollection" style="font-family: arial, sans-seris; font-size: 13px; color: #333333;"><span>View the entire <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery" style="color: #6666cc;">collection</a> of cards.</span></div><img width="1" height="1" border="0" src="https://os.shutterfly.com/b/ss/sflyshareprod/1/H.15/111?pageName=sharekey&c1=msc&c2=blogger" /></div></div><div class="sflyProductPreviewWidgetBottom" style="height:6px; background-image:url(http://cdn.staticsfly.com/img_/share/preview/msc/widget/bottom.gif);"></div></div>My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-37098716544408479752010-12-03T11:24:00.004-05:002010-12-03T11:29:52.430-05:00I love this so much!

I do not regret that decision one bit because the iPad is just amazing! I thought I loved it a lot but then last week after coming home from work and watching the Martha Stewart episode I dvr'd, I found that I love it even more. Martha revealed her very first MLS magazine application for the iPad, it was developed ironically by Adobe (in case you don't know, there's a beef between Adobe and Apple, but I guess when Martha calls, people answer) and it is just breathtaking! Its the best $3.99 that I have spent in a very long time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I can't express enough how gorgeous the peony "cover" is. It was shot over a 10 hour period using 180 photos and catches the beauty of how the peony blossoms. The boundless beauty features so many other gorgeous elements but I can only share a few pictures here, I just can't get over how spectacular then entire thing is.</div></div><div><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfzVN0akraIqeriKEsWTXCGsLGVbe_y-hkrsbgLhIb0P1ZelSdb1gUfP4OsbTauJCFf95_HA02dZuwPAWp2igJ4aQFpvaKdQBja7N1wlhkWxyJzGyxGvyuBlf7h4sbSw5rhaf60D58u4/s1600/mzl.bpwknftu.480x480-75.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZfzVN0akraIqeriKEsWTXCGsLGVbe_y-hkrsbgLhIb0P1ZelSdb1gUfP4OsbTauJCFf95_HA02dZuwPAWp2igJ4aQFpvaKdQBja7N1wlhkWxyJzGyxGvyuBlf7h4sbSw5rhaf60D58u4/s400/mzl.bpwknftu.480x480-75.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539510009759759570" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1-CrValDKOC-v7dwpWqjd1pvlZszZLAfTjtVVSeHJ5ObXVfPwokm7ksKHM8K4j5Yn-Fvy2nOBTqjF38MzCKTFWMl6MpJyf_ME5CaDja7Dm57wOcB6c2we9lnLxn8Uf3y79ROFxD-5U3A/s1600/mzl.bzfmobtr.480x480-75.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1-CrValDKOC-v7dwpWqjd1pvlZszZLAfTjtVVSeHJ5ObXVfPwokm7ksKHM8K4j5Yn-Fvy2nOBTqjF38MzCKTFWMl6MpJyf_ME5CaDja7Dm57wOcB6c2we9lnLxn8Uf3y79ROFxD-5U3A/s400/mzl.bzfmobtr.480x480-75.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539510005974969794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1QfF2pap_C_YGTq3L_7gTJZPuUF8z2DDc1MQT-F2q7N6CPTiAK9fzLVH-UdOvm9BqgWCAzx_5ouQsDxxLXP3JwSefkgjpRCtflJnkpKXqFoIachGM8EhKvzy67TZIcU4iUYUcYKqVGwA/s1600/mzl.btbgjmwr.480x480-75.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1QfF2pap_C_YGTq3L_7gTJZPuUF8z2DDc1MQT-F2q7N6CPTiAK9fzLVH-UdOvm9BqgWCAzx_5ouQsDxxLXP3JwSefkgjpRCtflJnkpKXqFoIachGM8EhKvzy67TZIcU4iUYUcYKqVGwA/s400/mzl.btbgjmwr.480x480-75.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539510000999978690" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRwZvCbMMtL7T2rLirwE7A8xDlam2bS6kAFOzuUkxZzH1Be1jRg4NqvJVnQIm7APK5DZkd-mNWJRLpFcac_aSYYr-EBdH2N7hHkCM3ICXSZqx1n5oS_kITgtHqyNhrcA9PxVGgRBC3mXI/s1600/mzl.tfzhronu.480x480-75.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRwZvCbMMtL7T2rLirwE7A8xDlam2bS6kAFOzuUkxZzH1Be1jRg4NqvJVnQIm7APK5DZkd-mNWJRLpFcac_aSYYr-EBdH2N7hHkCM3ICXSZqx1n5oS_kITgtHqyNhrcA9PxVGgRBC3mXI/s400/mzl.tfzhronu.480x480-75.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5539509989040386994" /></a><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><u><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/martha-stewart-living-magazine/id399094624?mt=8">{Photo Credit}</a></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><br /></span></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRwZvCbMMtL7T2rLirwE7A8xDlam2bS6kAFOzuUkxZzH1Be1jRg4NqvJVnQIm7APK5DZkd-mNWJRLpFcac_aSYYr-EBdH2N7hHkCM3ICXSZqx1n5oS_kITgtHqyNhrcA9PxVGgRBC3mXI/s1600/mzl.tfzhronu.480x480-75.jpg"></a><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" /></div>My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-71185295111926332632010-11-11T11:31:00.006-05:002010-11-11T11:56:50.757-05:00I'm in a Christmas State of Mind!<div><div>You all know that I LOVE <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/holiday-cards">Shutterfly</a>! I used them so many times throughout the wedding process and even after. I ordered my gorgeous guestbook, thank-you cards and the parents albums from them. I have used them for a little over a year and I couldn't be more pleased with the quality of their products.</div><div><br /></div><div>Since my favorite Holiday (yes that would be Christmas) is just around the corner I of course have already begun designing our <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards">Christmas Photo Cards</a> in my head. I will be putting on my photography hat to take our pictures and maybe, just maybe S and I will make an appearance for a family portrait.

First of all my business <a href="http://www.splendidweddingco.com/">{Splendid Wedding Co.}</a> is going pretty good, its off to a slow start nonetheless but I'm participating in my first bridal show this weekend. I decided to not do the booth but will have inserts in the gift bags and I'm gifting one lucky couple a complete invitation suite. I will however be having a booth in their spring show.<br /><br />Health wise I'm good, I lost another 3 pounds since my last update and its a slow process but I have had way too much going on to really pay attention to it.<br /><br /><br />As far as married life its GREAT...I love my hubby so much. Our girlie's are doing fantastic in school, both had all E's on their report cards and I couldn't ask for anything else. Little bitty doesn't cause trouble in school like S and I thought she would. She did however get in trouble for turning the lights off while there were little girls in the potty, haha! Bless their little hearts! She apparently is a model student, hmmm I wonder what happens in her head once she gets home because she gets into everything!<br /><br />We still may move up north, hubby is just waiting back to hear from one of the jobs he interviewed for. Its a long process and could take up to 60 days before he either gets a rejection or an offer (keep your fingers crossed for an offer).<br /><br />Well that's about all that's really been happening, so how about you guys, what's been going on and have I missed something important?<br /><br /><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" />My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-27586223758933530752010-11-01T09:45:00.003-04:002010-11-01T09:52:25.458-04:00Hey Ya'll! Happy Belated HalloweenI know it been forever, but I really needed that break. I missed you guys like crazy and I still read your blogs. I just had to pop in to share some of the pictures of our girls on Halloween. They had a fun filled weekend with lots of candy, games & parties. Our oldest daughter was Alice in Wonderland and our youngest was Dorothy of course! They loved their costumes, especially because they both got to wear their hair straight. It took me about 4 hours to get all those curls out, but it was worth it and they love it.<br /><br />So here they are:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIoL6WMUbWHep5f9CTYz8OZiCxxnPQCSOjlaf39b9fYG3MC3LVjSyVfmN2zD5PAX-_HtmG-2_yX6RVbT83lpTzUQtAj3EBaqJqZg-IulDkI5-D93x9kZ4gGWdrxCfBTsU_NVztn7T56zc/s1600/Both.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534578375015305938" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIoL6WMUbWHep5f9CTYz8OZiCxxnPQCSOjlaf39b9fYG3MC3LVjSyVfmN2zD5PAX-_HtmG-2_yX6RVbT83lpTzUQtAj3EBaqJqZg-IulDkI5-D93x9kZ4gGWdrxCfBTsU_NVztn7T56zc/s320/Both.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg19aYhLvGDUQ6RQXhtrRZR3RtiRqq2fNPwSX5gALA7EWmRKcaPEnACX1ZruvP4vgxpilbk1-f7Md1GJkqy25X_nVuWTWM_mc8y3zXdV_tVZoJeYDtM2XvbJGJmcihLhyQp1o-xkZp8v8k/s1600/Leila4.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534578365902141170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 213px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg19aYhLvGDUQ6RQXhtrRZR3RtiRqq2fNPwSX5gALA7EWmRKcaPEnACX1ZruvP4vgxpilbk1-f7Md1GJkqy25X_nVuWTWM_mc8y3zXdV_tVZoJeYDtM2XvbJGJmcihLhyQp1o-xkZp8v8k/s320/Leila4.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPhQk2wGpVsuee9Xw3JsUEZQgPogdmIjMIPHW01JO9C4W6EvEmUC29DB5Sm92c8KcAMDBlXvC-dqLLqVEEI_9rLX3xvuHuPkfutApg8jMdCR7wwYP1sL3oo2SfyTtqHUoWTcbZbxYqmA/s1600/Leila1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534578361617313154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPhQk2wGpVsuee9Xw3JsUEZQgPogdmIjMIPHW01JO9C4W6EvEmUC29DB5Sm92c8KcAMDBlXvC-dqLLqVEEI_9rLX3xvuHuPkfutApg8jMdCR7wwYP1sL3oo2SfyTtqHUoWTcbZbxYqmA/s320/Leila1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNpMGmIoYzDBP7xMd7rMDbY-imT6-n08rUU6CA8rGBX0Po1Jkp3BJqevgEKcDyRn_2opYz1ert0UoobVlU64Bgz8yLS-b9BOMMEOT8CMxkNmcAm-P9bpx8St483INkyWHsBz5rxdfEzXw/s1600/Saisunni1.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534578358807569058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 180px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNpMGmIoYzDBP7xMd7rMDbY-imT6-n08rUU6CA8rGBX0Po1Jkp3BJqevgEKcDyRn_2opYz1ert0UoobVlU64Bgz8yLS-b9BOMMEOT8CMxkNmcAm-P9bpx8St483INkyWHsBz5rxdfEzXw/s320/Saisunni1.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6DsgQWfsPOnC2fExvf6GX0WxJXqhnNIeCyrmUx7uEL4BWhJ_zc0Wgu7ZOr8kx36HeynelvdiYnxhoh55kOC4HoE9tMyIYeXvOYz8bOY8TLzsb8R2RPWJr31w-htE9nNXgWfLCgrR53ac/s1600/Saisunni2.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534578354555502418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6DsgQWfsPOnC2fExvf6GX0WxJXqhnNIeCyrmUx7uEL4BWhJ_zc0Wgu7ZOr8kx36HeynelvdiYnxhoh55kOC4HoE9tMyIYeXvOYz8bOY8TLzsb8R2RPWJr31w-htE9nNXgWfLCgrR53ac/s320/Saisunni2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" /></div></div></div></div></div>My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-16456153989514186242010-09-27T12:03:00.004-04:002010-09-27T12:22:20.912-04:00Happy Birthday to my Hubby!!<div>I just wanted to hop in and say Happy Birthday to my hubby! Not only is it his birthday, its our 6 month anniversary! Its so hard to believe that 6 months have passed so quickly.

The flight was actually not as bad as I thought it would be, it turned out to be fun...I will fly again for sure. Thanks to all of you for the tips and encouraging words, it helped. The meeting that I went to attend went great but I'm still not at liberty to discuss this in detail but as soon as I can share, you know I will.</div><div><br /></div><div>I'm going to be going on a little bit of a hiatus. I feel like I need a break. I'm not sure if it will be a week or a month but I will return when I feel rested. I will still read your blogs but I'm having a writers block and its so hard to find things to write about because to be honest I don't have a lot of interesting things happening. I think a break will give me some much needed time to come up with some ideas that may not bore you :P. </div><div><br /></div><div>Are any of you other married ladies experiencing something like this?</div><div><br /></div><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" />My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6884568079277668400.post-36416082358113029822010-09-13T19:21:00.005-04:002010-09-14T10:23:56.347-04:00A Scary Busy Week!<div align="center"> I have a crazy busy week ahead! First of all tomorrow is this year's first PTO meeting at my girlies school, they're excited, there's some new technology that they're showing all the parents. I'm off work on Thursday and Friday so that means I'm cramming 5 days of work into two, so far so good though, I got a lot done today. </div><br /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Thursday I will be taking my very first airplane ride! I am scared out of my mind but I know I have to do it. I'm going for a really important meeting that will hopefully open some doors wide open for me and my family (I hate keeping secrets from you guys but if it pans out I promise to let you know). Its only an hour flight which will help me get my feet wet and prepare me for the 24 hour plane ride to Thailand in 2012. I plan on keeping myself very busy in that hour with music and Netflix on my iPad. Friday will be interesting because I will be in the airport for a good portion of my day so I have a few books (Bree Tanner & Dark Flame) that will have my undivided attention. .<br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><img src="http://www.familyhomesecurity.com/images/Fear-of-Flying.jpg" /></div><br /><br /><img style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 450px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 348px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://yenz24.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/plane.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Saturday we're planning to head to Busch Gardens before Fall sets in. If I'm too tired for that then we may just take go to the local apple festival, its full of food, fun and games, not to mention yummy local apples.<br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Sunday I hope to get at least a half day of rest before heading back to work on Monday. So this week I may not be in the blogging world too much but bare with me, I'll be back next week to tell you all about my flight.</div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Have a good week ya'll!

I stayed the same which is not a bad thing. I did eat some not so healthy food over the Labor Day weekend so that may have been a factor in why the number on the scale didn't change. I also think it has a lot to do with the fact that I don't exercise regularly, if at all. I have a very full day that starts at 5am and ends at 10:30pm when I finally crash. By the time I get home (after an hour commute), get the girls ready for school and myself ready for work, check in with the couple that I'm helping plan their wedding, and give my hubby some attention its time for bed. So that's why I decided to start walking from the parking garage instead of catching the trolley and I walk up 7 flights of stairs and back down on my two ten minute breaks. </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">I will not let this get me down or sway me, I'm still going to keep trying!</div><div align="center"> </div><div align="center">Favorite meal last week (prepared by me!):</div><div align="center">~Copycat On-the-Border Empanadas </div><div align="center">(these are delish and I substituted everything for healthier options)</div><div align="center">~Warm Mexican Corn Salad<br />~Homemade Re-fried Beans<br />~Total Calorie: Didn't count it :)~<br />~My favorite snack last week was: Nature Valley Fruit N' Nut Bars</div><div align="center"><br />~Exercise: Still not working out but talking the steps at work on my ten minute morning and ten minute afternoon break.

I purchased my first MK purse and wallet last summer and LOVE it, I went with the leather luggage type because I knew that if I was going to spend $300 on a purse and $100 on a wallet, I wanted it to last and wanted something that would work for every season. And also every pair of jeans that I own are MK because I'm serious I think he made them for curvy ladies and that's refreshing because usually big designers like him cut their jeans for the model type. I take very good care of them and they have lasted and stayed dark for over a year! And yes I LOVE Project Runway because I get to see Mr. Kors every week :).</div><div><br /></div><div>Ok so now that you have a little background, check out these rockin' boots that are in his Fall 2010 catalog! I want them soooo bad but I just can't do it because we're saving for a house and for once I'm not going to be selfish {lol}, but a girl can drool right? All I can do is pray that TJ Maxx gets the overstock from Nordstrom's! </div><div><br /></div><div>Are there any boots or other fall fashions that you guys are drooling over?</div><div><br /></div><div>**SWOON**</div></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFWkbVN03iRQcE-pC2QnZRKZoenbUS3dc1RNp_ozoIMS5O75TACV_NXLmVtjBD7ihGoAQes13_Ic7hQD-vFZ4ttFNUU6pCCFWVPR032jcdmSLlRajxAashulZFEAEItKDvAQkuxeanHCA/s1600/MK+Boots.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 368px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFWkbVN03iRQcE-pC2QnZRKZoenbUS3dc1RNp_ozoIMS5O75TACV_NXLmVtjBD7ihGoAQes13_Ic7hQD-vFZ4ttFNUU6pCCFWVPR032jcdmSLlRajxAashulZFEAEItKDvAQkuxeanHCA/s400/MK+Boots.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5513865476928026898" /></a><div><br /></div><div><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2112/4512992267_2fd468a0fa_o.jpg" /></div>My Dream Ringhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18011021056558915636noreply@blogger.com7
