Creep Show Magnet

So, it looks like my newlyweds blog has turned into quite the creep show magnet.

Case in point? Please review the keyword search terms below that have apparently lead some lovely readers to my blog. Let's all wave hello to the crazies!

• Is walmart wedding classy {NO! Is this even a question?}
• manboob meet the fockers breast feeding devices for dads { Aaaaaaaaaaalrighty, then.}
• how to do loving in a tent {really? You came here to read about this? Hmmm. I am sure you left very disappointed.}
• my husband has man boobs site {Good for you? Mine doesn’t?}
• nacho dips (Mmmm, you know I love my nacho dip.)
• sissies pencil thin eyebrows {That sounds so unfortunate. I am sorry.)
• walmart side mullet {I am pretty sure I need pictures of this.}
• I saw my husband wearing leggings {Best one! And I want to know more!}
• Carrie Underwood armpits {Creeepy. And I can't help you there.}
• Everytime you post it makes me wanna be your friends a little bit more {Oookay. And your grammar is awful and, for that reason, we won’t be friends. }

If you are a fellow blogger, please be kind enough and share with me some of your hilarious search words. I would really like to think that I am not the only one attracting these creepers!

Happy Friday, everyone!

Vintage Find to Girly Beauty

Hi loves and happy Thursday!

I am interrupting the scheduled summer recaps to share something with you all that's very near and dear to my heart. A few weeks ago, I started looking for a desk to use in my wedding planning office. I wanted something that I could fix up and redecorate to make my own. I love creating something fantastic out of something forgotten or misused. Can you tell I've been watching too much HGTV? Well, moving on. Then hubs surprised me by bringing this 1930s Craig's List find that had seen better days (many of them, in fact) home.

I know this isn't exactly the cute desk that I had pictured in my head, but that doesn't mean that it didn't have any potential. I knew that a beautiful piece of furniture was hiding beneath all of those scratches and funky looking stain.

So, with the help of this nifty little sander and a little lot of elbow grease from hubs, things slowly started turning from drab to fab.

And viola! Say hello to my new wedding planning desk & office :)

And my $15 pink chair from IKEA!

Final touches of pink flower knobs completed the project :)

Isn't she pretty! I am now obsessed with my "new" desk!

P.S. GO BUCKEYES!!

Summer Recap - Part 1

So since I am clearly way, way, way behind in the blogosphere with life updates (::hangs head in shame::), my hope is to bribe all of you, my pretty, gorgeous, lovely readers, back with pictures galore. So, here is part one of a three part life update in photos.

Earlier this month, hubs and I got tickets to a Weezer concert, and it ended up being one of the best concerts I've actually probably ever been to! We had an absolute blast and jammed the whole time. Plus, good seats always help!

A few weekends ago, I also had a chance to reunite with one of my besties for a fun night out on the town in Pittsburgh! Molly was up for a wedding, and so I took a little road trip to see her! After 4 months, it was well overdue. I love this girl with my whole heart, and best news is I get to see her again in October!

One of our favorite couple friends also came down to Columbus a few weekends ago to spend some time with us. We always have a BLAST with these two. Not to mention that Lauren and I are kindered spirits in so many ways. We met through our hubbies, but I always say that we would be friends even without them ;)

The girls will shop...



While the boys will eat...








That's all for now.. Happy (almost) Friday!! I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend! :)

Happy Birthday, Hubs!

I want to wish my amazing hubs a very happy 27th birthday today!!! He’s truly the sweetest man I’ve ever known and I am so lucky to have met and married him. I love, LOVE, love you babe :)


Please join me in wishing my love a very happy day of birth!

The Month of Birthdays!

Hi, hi, hi all!

I am so sorry I have been so MIA this month. But just bare with me as I try to rationally explain to you just how super crazy the month of August is for us. Trust me when I tell you that every single family member in addition to every single human being I have ever encountered/ befriended in life has an AUGUST BIRTHDAY or an equally important momentous occasion.

I swear to you. This is true.

So far this month we have celebrate my Grandma's birthday, hubs Grandma's birthday, hubs Grandpa's birthday, hubs Dad's birthday, my best friend's birthday and my parent's anniversary.

And it's only August 18th. Meaning that in the next two weeks, we still have my other best friend's birthday, hubs birthday, hubs brother's birthday, and our dating anniversary.

Phew. I rest my case.

So, while I have been in a food coma from shoving cake and cupcakes in my mouth on a daily basis, I have completely neglected to blog. And, unfortunately for you guys, in my world food will always win.

But I DO promise to be back to my normal self soon. And I have a lot of updates for you guys! Thanks for baring with me. I love you all!

Edited to Add: I am a Sagittarius and obvi judging from this post, I think that I get along best with Leos and Virgos. Do any of my fellow Sags out there feel this way? Or vice versa? I am interested to hear what you guys think!

Beach Bums!

We have escaped for a few days... for some much needed downtime!



I'll be back with more details a little later this week. Love and miss you all! :)

Where, oh where, did Mrs. Newlywed go?

I am here and I am baaaaacck. (Jumps up and down repeatedly and squeals.)

Can you see/hear me?

I have been a bad friend. I know, I know :(

But between traveling, coordinating weddings, attending weddings, birthdays, trips, family visits, house remodels, and the trials and tribulations of our every day life... I seriously feel like I haven't had time to even stop and breathe.

And the fact that it’s already August honestly completely creeps me out. Time is a funny thing. Those months leading up to summer can feel soooo slow. And then again June and July have seem to have gone by in a heartbeat.

I miss being lazy, blogging, catching up on my fave shows and just laying around and doing absolutely nothing! But I’m hoping to be able to get back into my normal groove very soon (fingers and toes crossed). Until then, please forgive me….
