Happy Halloween!

I meant to put this up last night and schedule it for this morning, but alas! I had an exam today and I wasn't up for doing much of anything else minus sleeping and sitting in the bath, trying to make myself believe I didn't actually have a test. Side note: I always take baths the night before an exam, it just helps calm me and keep me stress-free, for the most part at least.

Back to what this post is really about. Last weekend, Curtis and I went to a little costume Halloween party, and this is what we wore! I was determined to NOT spend much money, yet still wear a "legit" costume. Since I don't have sewing skills, anything in that realm was out of the question, but I saw an idea on Pinterest for robbers and I ran with it. Turns out, we looked like the robbers off of the Sims, so that's what I told everyone we were. Way more creative, amirite? It was fun, and it's the first time Curtis and I have gotten dressed for Halloween together.. EVER. What? I know. We've always been wicked (pun intended) busy around this time of year our entire seven years of togetherness. So here we are, a couple o' robbers from the Sims. And no, we didn't manage to steal anything that night, tehe.

Me - Beanie: Wal-Mart // Top: Thrifted // Jeans: Gap // Gloves: Wal-Mart // Flats: Old // Tote: DIY (Hobby Lobby)

Curt - Beanie: Wal-Mart // Shirt: Wal-Mart ($3!) // Jeans: Wrangler // Shoes: Nike (baseball days)  // Tote: DIY (HobLob)

So basically, I spent $3 at Hobby Lobby buying the tote bags and the masks on our heads (they looked ridiculous, so we didn't really wear them), $2 on the two pairs of gloves, $2 for the two beanies, and $3 for Curt's shirt because he didn't own a black/white striped shirt already. Ten bucks for two costumes, I'd call that a success! As for tonight, I don't think we'll be doing much except passing out candy to any little trick-or-treaters, but I always love Halloween.. mainly because it means Thanksgiving and Christmas are right around the corner! :)

Thought I'd throw these in here for good fun, I was mainly messing around with the camera and lighting, but hey, at least I decorated the house a little bit! What have you guys done for Halloween? Or do you have any weekend plans? 

Finally Home

Well hey there! Sorry for the complete disconnect for so, so long, but man, have I had two and a half weeks of chaos/awesomeness/wonder/stress/crazy/magnificent.. ness! I had planned on jumping right back into blogging once I got back from the cruise, but pretty much everything was put on hold because our duplex was in the middle of a small renovation. Yay, we have freshly painted walls and brand new tile and carpet flooring! But that meant lots of moving from place to place, luckily we have awesome next-door neighbors -- otherwise known as Curtis' sister and brother-in-law, haha. Add some family health issues/emergencies on top of that, and you have a good dose of one crazy week.

But guess what?! I'm married!! And I had one of the most beautiful weddings, it was more than I could have ever hoped for.. and then some! Believe me, y'all will get to see pictures (and videos) as soon as I get some from the photographer. For now though, I thought I'd share some pictures from our honeymoon.. because lets face it, I haven't even been trying to get dressed in the mornings, a t-shirt and shorts are all I need right now.


All of these photos were taken with Curt's GoPro camera. He got it right before the wedding, and I have to say, I was semi skeptical at first, but I really have grown to appreciate it and love it. We have so many awesome videos that allow us to really remember all of the fun we had on our honeymoon. I'll definitely be sharing some of the videos at some point, and Curtis plans on making one big video with clips of everything, too.

Married life is pretty much the best thing ever, and I'm not gonna lie, not having to go home every night has been one of my favorite things because it's something we had been doing almost every night for seven years. I'll have many more photos and stories as soon as I can. I've missed all of y'all so much, and I'm ready to get caught up on everyone! (yeah.. I have over 1000 unread posts on my bloglovin', holy crap..) I'd like to give a special thanks to all of the amazing ladies that guest posted for me on the week of my honeymoon, y'all are the best and I'm so blessed to have such an amazing group of bloggy ladies! Hope you all enjoyed them as much as I did!

Hope everyone has a great start to their week! Curtis and I are starting summer classes today..boo.
