30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 13

* A letter to someone who has hurt you recently

Dear Internet/TV company,

I'm really upset on how you try to screw your customers over. I was on the phone with you for over 3 hours and my problem was still not fixed. I am sick of it and can't imagine staying with you after my contract is up. You had me in tears because I was so frustrated with you. Why is it the problem never can be resolved within 15 minutes...heck even 30 minutes. Everyone knows if they call you, they can guarantee they will be on the phone for an hour and that is an hour that we will never get back. Get your sh*t together and stop over charging me.

Thanks,
Not a loyal customer and will get rid of you the first chance I get

(vent over and I definitely feel better)

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 12

* How you found out about Blogger and why you made one

I found out about blogger through a good college friend Ashley...go check out her adorable family blog here, Phipps Family

I decided to make a blog because I loved the whole concept of an online journal. I loved looking at other blogs and being able to look back 1 year and see what you did that month in a story and picture that you posted. It was also a way for me to document different projects I did for the wedding. I am so glad I started this and hope to keep it going for a while :)

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 11

* Another picture of you and your friends
I wish I had a picture of ALL my friends to make this easier to choose a picture. I decided on this picture. It is a few of my girlfriends and I at my rehearsal dinner.

And speaking of friends...I met my first blog friend today. I won a giveaway on Love Is... blog and we met up today for lunch to meet and for her to give me what I won. It was super fun and I am so glad we found the time to meet up. I won a super cute bracelet and nail polish that I can't wait to us. Thanks Andrea!!! I hope we get to meet up again very soon!!!

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 10

* Songs you listen to when you are Happy, Sad, Bored, Hyped, Mad

There is so many songs that I love...it's hard to decide. I will put down a few songs for these emotions.

Happy
- The Good Life by One Republic (It's my ring tone so it better make me happy.)
- This City by Patrick Stump (Makes me smile and gets me smiling)

Sad
- Stand by Rascal Flatts (Great song that lifts you up.)
- Sold by John Michael Montgomery (This song reminds of my cousin who passed away when we were 14. She taught me the lyrics to this song and I have never forgot them.)

Bored
- Single Ladies by Beyonce (Let's just say I am not bored anymore if this song comes on.)
- Wild at Heart by Gloriana (Whenever it's just Mya and I home...I put this song on when I am bored and we start dancing.)

Hyped
- Cotton Eye Joe by Rednex (haha...I am the life of the dance floor if this song comes one.)
- Dougie by Cali Swag (Everyone was the life of the dance floor when this song was played twice @ our wedding reception...it's the latest and greatest dance number.)

Mad
- In the End by Linkin Park (It's a hard song but also makes you think...is it really worth to be mad.)

I only did one for mad because it's very rare that I am mad...and I can't think of any other songs I really listen to when I am mad or that make me mad.

Hope you all are having a great weekend :)

30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 9

* Something you’re proud of in the past few days

Tate and I have decided to finally plan out our meals everyday for a month. We made a list of everything we like to cook. We then filled in a calendar of what to eat on which day. I then hit up the grocery store to buy everything. This last week was our first week of doing it and man do I love it.

I never have to think...what's should I make for dinner?!? It's already decided and everything is already bought. I am so happy :)  Tate even commented on how much he loves this. He usually comes home after dinner time so when he calls to ask...I get to tell him instead of saying, 'I don't know...what do you want'. He hated that because he never knew what we even had.

This is all part of organization and I can't wait for everything in our life to be organized...it definitely makes life a bit easier :)

I would recommend doing this..it seriously is a time saver!!!

Honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas - Day 7

Day 7 was our last day in Cabo. It went by so fast. We decided that on our last day we were going to hang out by the pool and relax all day. Relaxing we did. We were by the pool by 9 am and didn't leave until 5.

Tate had been asking all week if we could go jet skiing. I didn't want to for 2 reasons...it was really expensive for a limited amount of fun and I was so scared to jet ski in the ocean. Well...on our last day, I finally said I would go with him jet skiing. He probably wishes I didn't go because I was pretty much screaming the whole time and I can't imagine it was much fun for him.

Here a few pictures of our view of lovers beach and the arch from the jet ski

Our resort from the water

After a really fun day in the sun...we decided to have 2 dinners on our last night :) We had reservation at the super fancy restaurant but not until 9:15. So we went and ate @ the buffet around 6:30 and I am so happy we did. It was 'Asian' theme night so they had sushi, sushi and more sushi. Loved it!!!

We had the best honeymoon ever. I am so glad we picked Cabo for our location and I am glad we stayed @ the Riu Palace. I can't wait to go again!!!

XOXO
