They DO

A couple of weeks ago we attending a wedding for two of our very good friends Stand & Irina and to be completely honest I have never had this much fun at a wedding before.

The wedding took place in a beautiful winery with gorgeous scenery and breath taking views. But what really made this wedding special was the LOVE that I could feel and see not only between the happy couple but also through all the wonderful friends and family that came to share this special day with them. There were soo many heart-felt wishes and toasts along with beautiful songs and musical numbers that their friends performed for them. The groom is actually part of a famous Christian choir so it was no surprise at how gifted and talented the guest list ended up being. Overall I had a blast eating good food, sharing many laughs, and enjoying the company of all of our good friends!

Here are some pics from the event that the talented Andrey Perepelitsa took:

A Busy Moment

I haven't been around much ... but I have a perfectly good excuse ... I promise .... I finally started my new job as a tax auditor and just haven't gotten used to working a full time job yet!

I'm sooo excited about starting this new chapter in my life and finally watching all of my hard work and late nights of studying pay off. I've even already gotten my first pay check ... & yes I admit it I did go on a teeny tiny shopping spree, but overall I'm trying to be good and have even already started paying off my student loans!

It's not going to be easy and I know that I still have months and months of training ahead of me but at the moment I'm content and satisfied with what I have accomplished and how far I've come in the past few years!

Happy Easter

I was inspired by a DIY that I found on Southern Living to create my own speckled Robins Eggs just in time for Easter! The project was fairly easy and turned out looking fabulous!

He is Risen!
Happy Easter & have a beautifuL weekend!

Lately I've been completely obsessed with the color Green & moss in particular as house decor!

I decided to freshen up my focal wall in the dining room by adding a little more green to the mix with a couple of new vases and some moss balls that I found at the Dollar Store!

Here's a few more Green inspirations that I found while browsing blogs! Living with Lidsay & Ruffled have fabulous DIY posts that are easy to follow and will brighten up any room! I can't wait to try to them out!

Birthdays, Seafood, & more Birthdays!

March has got to be the busiest month for birthdays ... well at least in my circle of friends and family! Everyone, including myself, my hubby, sister, brother, niece, & at least 4 friends share a birthday this month ... pretty much had a birthday party to attend every day of this month!

Since my hubby's b-day is only 1 day apart from my sister's ... we decided to celebrate together and just go out to McCormick & Schmick's Seafood restaurant together ... they had the best food and even made personalized menus for us to keep as souvenirs.

Here's me and the Birthday Boy ... after many attempts to get him to smile for the pic!

And finally the whole crew

First Sign of Spring

I'm finally back after 2 months of not posting ... and no I haven't been sick or anything like that ... just been having a sort of writers block and just no desire to write whatsoever.

So here's the update on my life ... I finally got a job offer to work for the state and have another interview for a better position coming up on April 6th ... yay! And in even better news ... I am going to Cancun, Mexico with my hubby for 1 week right before I start my new job to celebrate! Last month I also turned 22 and celebrated with my hubby in Tahoe ... made me realize how fast time is going and gave me to motivation to start going to the gym and making healthier choices with my eating habits ... ohhh how I dread working out ... but already lost 5lbs and on my way to a new bikini body!!!

Since I haven't been working yet and college is a thing of the past for me ... I've been spending a lot more time outside taking walks with Bella ... we have this gorgeous trail just a couple of minutes from my house and that's of course where I picked those beautiful purple flowers from ... they make my house smell so fresh and Spring-y! Makes me one to go shopping and buy new Spring decor for my home ... but my hubby constantly has to keep reminding me that we're looking for a new house and that I should wait ... I never thought it would be this hard for find a good house that we both love ... but honestly we haven't been having much luck with that yet, but still hoping and praying that God will send us something soon :)

That's pretty much it I guess ... My goal for now is to post more often and quit being sooo lazy about writing.
