This Past Weekend

As far as Husband's birthday - I gave Michael some bubble bath and a TON of his favorite candies. He loved it. These days he's trying different things to try and relax. How can you get more relaxed than in a bubble bath with your favorite candy?! :)

Michelle and Corban's wedding reception is this weekend, and I am going to represent the Oates'. I need to find a dress as well - ahh, the worries of a lady. I'm also hoping to pick up my wedding pictures this weekend as well. You know what that means - I will be posting pictures asap. But, don't get your hopes up.

I will post the pictures from Michael's birthday celebration (aka us at home with a fabulous cake from Central Market) soon as well.

Happy Monday!

Since October Update

I believe this is going to be a very long post - but then again, I haven't posted in FOREVER. This is mainly because we haven't had internet in the apartment since we moved in August 9th. It's a long story, but I will say that AT&T Direct TV is the best company when it comes to Customer Service. Every Representative we talked to was informative and helpful. Anyway, on to the update:

As I previously said, the honeymoon was a blast! We travelled all over the Northeast, which was our goal. We started out in the Berkshires, which is in western Massachusetts. Look it up - it's beautiful. Then we went to Boston, and stayed at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel, where every President since the early 1900's has stayed. Then we travelled north up to Salem, which was very interesting. It's a lot more historical than you'd think - it's more than just witches! haha. We stopped at a random beach and it was everything we hoped it would be. Beaches there are clean and peaceful. The beachgoers are very relaxed and respectful of the people/dogs/families around them. Quite nice. After the beach, we went further north into Maine, which is a beautiful state. We were actually in York Harbor, where we visited the Nubble lighthouse on Cape Neddick. Loved it. Then we continued on to Vermont & New Hampshire where we sampled some of the State's Hallmarks such as: maple syrup, cheese, apples, etc. It was the perfect honeymoon and exactly what I wanted.

Here are a few pictures from the week in the NE:

Recently, we adopted two tortoise shell kittens. We named them Giada and Ina after two of our favorite Food Network stars. Here's a picture of both:

Michael's Birthday is tomorrow! I am really excited and I can't wait to give him his presents. Since we just had a honeymoon, we're going small on these birthdays - but these presents are full of love! I hope he's thrilled!

Oh, and I can't wait for Beyonce's new album - I just listened to her first single from the cd, and it was unsurprisingly good. I love her voice and her style.

Now it's time to go to Plano and have dinner with Michael's parents. Have a happy weekend!
