Friday, we met our friends Kyle and Amanda at Carraba's for some vino and calorie laden goodness. No pics from that night, but as we were getting into bed on Friday night, I remember turning to Stephen and saying, "Is it possible for your stomach to literally burst?"
A couple of Pepcids and a glass of water and all was right with the world again though.
Saturday morning, I went on an hour long home decor buying bender at Hobby Lobby. I gotta say, I'm a pretty lucky lady. When I tell S I'm going to Hob Lob, he smiles, nods and says "Buy whatever you want." He knows that decorating our home within an inch of its life is good for our marriage, haha!
I attempted my very first silk flower arrangement after spying a couple at a local store up here for....$300! Woah, Nelly! Yeah, this chica wasn't paying three Benjamins for a silk arrangement, so I bought some supplies at Hob Lob and did my own version. I think it turned out pretty good!
Saturday night we met some of our other friends Jason and Shannon at Bonefish for drinks and dinner. A quick pic beforehand was necessary : )
Yesterday, I put up all the Halloween decorations! Here are pics!
Fall napkins! |
New fall rug for the front door! |
New fleur de lis lamps from our friends for a wedding gift...love the fall brick red color! |
Pretty bowl of apples...a fall must! |
Finally, if y'all needed more evidence that I'm a completely spoiled girl, the hubs made his famous spaghetti and gravy for dinner. (For those of you non-Italians like moi, I learned that 'gravy' is really just their version of a thick marinara or pomodoro sauce, usually with sausage or beef added in for flavor.) Stephen comes from a big Italian family and the recipe has been in their family since forever! Can't give it out, but lemme tell ya, it takes the boy 5+ hours to make it and it's worth every single calorie...YUM.
So tell, Blonde Ambitioners, what did y'all do this weekend?
P.S. - Our one month anniversary of being married is today! To the love of my life, Stephen - Thank you so much for an amazing month! I love you to the moon!
Be blessed, lovelies-

I love decorating - especially in fall - and the first couple years we were married I went all out. Then I realized that, unfortunately, once the season is over, you have to find space to store said decorations :-( Living in an apartment in CA means you have pretty limited options for that. Boo! But, I love your decorating! So cute!
ReplyDeletesounds like a fun weekend....I have to ask, where did the animal print bangle come from? adorable and the perfect splash of a fun print.
ReplyDeletei can't believe you have been married a whole month! so happy for you both. thank you for letting us be a part of your journey leslie!
