Neglect

Oh dear Blog, I am so sorry for neglecting you! School was to blame. Seriously. For the past few weeks I have been sooo overwhelmed with schoolwork and being a housewife (ever since I quit working I am pretty sure I have lost my mind, I forget to turn off the engine while filling the car up, I constantly leave the keys on the front seat when I leave the car, I leave my blender on the stove and completely melt it, urgh but I digress...)

So for those of you who follow me on twitter and even Facebook, you probably know a little what is going on in my life, but if you don't, here it goes!

My husband dropped and broke my DSLR camera, so it sits in pieces on our dinning room table =[.

Since we cannot afford to fix it right now, the holidays will be pretty low on pictures this year.

Thanksgiving was at our apartment. It was such a great time! 8 people in our little apartment. Our dining table only seats 4, so we got pretty creative with it. We also did a very non-traditional Thanksgiving. We has a seafood Thanksgiving. Oh it was soooo delishhh.

It's Christmas time! And we have gotten into the holiday spirit at our house. Since this is our first Christmas together we do not have much decorations (they are expensive! I plan on going after Christmas and stocking up!) but we do have a fabulous tree...

It took us hoursss and 2,500 lights to light up this beast!

I also made this fabulous wreath with my lovely friend Erin (thanks Pinterest!)

I have finally finished this Semester. Longest 8 week session of my life! But I finally get to sell this nasty stack of books and get them out of my life!

I watched this documentary on Netflix, "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" (oh it is soo good! you have to watch it) basically it convinced me to go on a juice fast and I convinced T to do it with me. My plan was to fast for 10 days but after 4 days of just this...

We broke down and had to eat real food. But in the 4 days, I could tell I lost weight (we do not have a scale) I just wish I had the willpower to do the whole 10 days. But it was a good, eating healthy jump start.

Some more exciting stuff has happened but I am going to save that for another post. It's such a big deal it deserves its own post.

I love you all and I hope you all have a fabulous holidays with your friends and family!

Christmas Vacation pt. 1... Christmas Fun/ Wedding Gown Bliss!

Oh my. It has been forever and a day since I last blogged. To be honest, I really do not like this time of year because everyone gets caught up in the holidays and looses sight of everything else. And that is exactly what happened to me (I even forgot to pay our wedding photographer, luckily he's a cool guy. We are also pretty sure that we are distant cousins, more on that later).

Now I am in Herriman, Utah, (with T's family) finally getting around to blogging (because almost everything is closed on Sundays, so there really isn't much more to do).

Beautiful Herriman

A lot has happened it the past (two?) weeks. And since this post can go on forever I think I will do it in several different posts.

The week of Christmas was tons of fun. T's leave didn't begin until the 28th so for Christmas weekend they had a 96, BUTTTT because of all the crazy rain we've been having there were mudslides all over Camp Pendleton. To the point where 2 entrance gates were shut down and nobody could get through. So the Commanding Officer of Camp Pendleton told pretty much everyone to go home. The 96 turned into 120. Awesome right?

Since T and I were both off we enjoyed spending time together and with my family. For Christmas Eve and Christmas day we stayed at my parents house and played games all night long. The one (of many) reasons I like our Christmas' is because everything is so laid back. We stay in our PJ's all day and just hang out. This year I took the Wii home from my office and we played that almost 24/7.

 Christmas morning!

We also took some family photos

 Kaleb was only happy in T's arms.. in all the other 

photos he was crying

This one is my favorite

On the 27th my mom, sister (my maid of honor) and I took a train up to Fashion District in LA and bought my wedding dress!! It is so BEAUTIFUL!!!!! I am on the fence about putting a picture up.. I may because I love it so much!

My sister found it and she said "what about this one?" and I put it on. It was the only dress I didn't want to take off. Seriously, I would wear it grocery shopping if I could. Now I just have to loose a few pounds so I can look EVEN MORE AMAZING in it.

More wedding planning is to commence while we're up here. I'm super excited everything is coming together but I know we still have a lot more to go.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Years!

Pt. 2  on the flight from HELLL and New Years shenanigans will come soon.
