9 Years!

It was 9 years ago today that Chris and I became "officially" boyfriend and girlfriend. After a summer of playing cat and mouse, my high school crush finally asked me to be his girlfriend. Standing at his locker, before homeroom, I dove into a relationship having no idea where it would someday take me.

I remember being at a bonfire that night and watching him with his group of friends. Like a ton of bricks, it hit me that for once, I wasn't on the lonely side of a one-sided relationship. He asked me out....so he must actually like me! Even to this day I find it hard to believe that someone can love me so much.

Being high-school sweethearts may seem cliche, but I feel so incredibly blessed that God has allowed us to grow up together. He is not only my soul mate, but he is my best friend. There is no one who knows me inside and out quite like my husband, and for that, I am so grateful.

So Happy Anniversary honey! I know people say we aren't supposed to celebrate dating anniversaries after we're married, but how can not celebrate the day when it all began? Here's to many more!

Five on Friday!

After countless weekends of working on remodeling our kitchen, I am so glad that we have mostly FUN plans for this upcoming weekend. Needless to say...I feel like Friday has been taking its grand old time getting here!

1. My sister is home from Boston this weekend, and I am so excited to see her and squish the little cheeks of my adorable nephews. We set aside our whole weekend to hang out with them, so I'm sure it will be fun and relaxing.

2. I am suddenly obsessed with candles and bubble baths. I have always been a huge fan of hot, relaxing baths. How have I never thought to light candles? It is amazing. I intend to purchase some dedicated bathtime candles very soon!

3. My skin hates Pennsylvania weather. The huge swings in temperatures and humidity are making my face oily and flaky at the same time. I have made the transition to my extra hydrating face routine for the cold months, but we keep having random humid days.

4. I already miss summer nail colors. I was really gung-ho about grays, but I need just one more round of obnoxious hot pink!

5. I am dying to try this cinnamon roll recipe this weekend. But first I need a mini muffin pan. Life is rough I tell ya.

Happy Weekend!!!

Hello!

Well, I have finally taken the plunge.  After years of stalking following the blogs of other creative and witty women, I am now taking the leap to the other side and stared my own blog!

I am in my third year of marriage to my best friend, and I could never have imagined all the great times we would share. That being said....I have not been the perfect housewife. I have big dreams of being a domestic goddess who can DIY anything and everything... but I am definitely not there yet.

I'm not sure where exactly this blog may go, but I hope you will continue to follow along as I document the successes, the failures, and all the laughs along the way on my journey to becoming a domestic diva!
