Living In Color

We're back! A little sad about that fact but it feels good to be home. (There really is no place like home!) And since we were saturated with color all week long, I thought I would continue the streak with this amazing colorful home that balances simple and vibrant and chic all at the same time.

Off to Mexico

We are off for vacation - woo who! It has been a long time coming, and I am way too excited to wait any longer. I will be out of touch for the week, but will be enjoying a relaxing, luxurious, beach-lounging time with the hubby!

Pack It Up

Packing is never fun - not even when you are packing for vacation. We're headed out in the morning, and I haven't even started yet. I never procrastinate, but I always seem to put off packing until the very last minute. I just have to keep my eye on the prize - vacation!

Two Years

I can not believe it! The hubby and I are celebrating our 2 year anniversary tomorrow. It has been the best 2 years I could have ever imagined, and I wouldn't change a thing - well, maybe some little details here and there. But that is what makes up life, right?

I am now a wedding fanatic due to the absolutely perfect wedding that we experienced. I still have on the agenda to have one every year for our anniversaries - yeah, it hasn't happened yet. But I'm still hoping!

To sum up the past two years - I couldn't have been blessed with a more genuine, more handsome, more caring, more loving, more supportive husband! He's a keeper!

Bits from the Trip

I know it's a bit strange, but on the road trip last weekend, I was just as excited to eat at my favorite College Station joints as to go to the football game.

I had it all planned out, lunch at the quaint sandwich shop, Blue Baker, and dinner at our favorite fast food Mexican venue, Rosa's - back to the college days!

Well, as it turns out Blue Baker has moved! Yes, they moved the small, off-beat, individually owned shop to a highly produced, right in the middle of all the chaos retail space. All the charm was gone, but the sandwiches were still just as good! And of course, Rosa's didn't disappoint.

Loved the artwork in Blue Baker!

We couldn't wait on pictures before hand. We gobbled everything up as fast as we possibly could!

And the game. Right smack in the middle of our eating plans. We were so close - Row 7! And what a wonderful game - Aggies came out with the victory!

Rainy Day

It has been raining here all day, and I mean all day! I feel like I'm stranded here at home in all this water - yikes! But I really want to be stranded in "that" home in all "that" water.

How romantic and secluded! I could drift away and not even mind straying farther and farther from reality.

My wish will be granted soon enough - we're leaving for vacation next week! I couldn't be more ready!

There's a Chill in the Air

Fall is trying to break through, and oh do I hope it stays! It is my absolute favorite time of year - no doubt.

And for some reason I always get head-over-heels obsessed with New York when Fall is here. I don't know if it is because of the opening scene in You've Got Mail or all the bundled-up scenes in Sex and the City, but something comes over me. So much so, that I get the urge to pack up and move - yes, just move! No holding back - I have to go!

I have this idea that if you're in New York during the Fall, all you need is lots of layers and a good strong hat. Is anybody with me?

Fall, New York - one day! One day soon!
