It’s hard to believe it’s been two years already since Tim asked me to be his wife. So much has changed and yet so much has stayed the same. I am so excited for all of our adventures.

Halloweek 2015
We’ve officially kicked off Halloween Week around these parts! Hocus Pocus, check! Scary movie (Crimson Peak), check! Halloween-decorated garden, check! Costume shopping, check!
This is exciting. I’m always excited to dress up. Last year was my first time ever being something scary. This year I’m going to be a mix of scary + pretty.
Stay tuned to see what we dress up as this year!
Bermuda… BAHAMAS … Come on pretty mama
Last week we booked our most impromptu vacation yet. It’s not for another 70-something days but it was definitely not on our radar. Our family got a great deal and we couldn’t pass up another family vacation to the Bahamas (we didn’t go with them in June). . . So Mr. L and I are headed to paradise early next year!
So what am I excited for?
To see what all the talk about Atlantis is. It has been on my hotel bucketlist for a bit now.
To frolick in a bikini and summery clothes. I know by then we’ll be ready to escape the cold winter.
To make new memories with Mr. L and family. There’s nothing like being on an island together to foster bonding time.
To see the clear, blue ocean. There’s something about (clean and clear) ocean water that is just so soothing.
Have you been to Atlantis? What are your recommendations/ suggestions?
Wearing the dress again
I can’t be the only bride who dreams of wearing my wedding dress again.
A lot of girls grow up dreaming of their wedding day. You want to meet the perfect man for you to marry and live happily ever after. And you can’t wait to find your dress that’ll make you feel the most beautiful you’ve ever felt in your life.
Then, the wedding day comes and goes. You’re happily married but you find yourself having to part from the dress. It might have gotten a little dirty or ripped and a decision has to be made: to preserve or not to preserve.
The preservation process not only cleans the dress but requires it to be placed into a sealed container. The dress is only supposed to be handled with gloves and to check for damages and/or yellowing. The process is quite costly.
What if I told you I preserved my dress shortly after our wedding, only to take it out and wear it again?
Well, I have and I am — for our Anniversary Photo Shoot. You see, our wedding photographer failed to capture photos of us in front of our church and outdoors during the daytime and I really want those photos. And what better way to commemorate our FIRST anniversary than a photo shoot featuring some of our wedding day memorabilia.
We were going to get them done in June but then we found ourselves with just 3 weeks to move so the shoot just wasn’t a priority. This way it’s closer to our anniversary and will be taken at our church.
Some people, including family and friends, think it’s a little wacky. I appreciate their opinions but I am so excited for the shoot that it doesn’t really bother me. Plus, this type of shoot, including the wedding dress, is becoming more popular.
Because I’m not the only bride who dreams of wearing the dress again.
What do you think about wearing it again? Thoughts?
Stop & smell the roses
Showing Tim around NYC has given me the best excuse to be a tourist in my own city. I’ve grown up here but I’m almost embarrassed to admit that I’ve never been to the top of the Empire State Buildng (I have been to the Top of the Rock); I’ve never visited Ellis Island to see the Statue of Liberty up close; and I have yet to venture to Fire Island like I’ve always said I want to.
So on Monday, since my dad and I had off, we ventured to the Botanic Garden. It might have been my first time there, too. I took in deep breaths as we were all surrounded by Mother Nature right in the middle of the city.
I think it’s important to let go of technology for a bit and to step outside. To appreciate where we are and to respect our earth. Nature really is so beautiful. We ought to stop and smell the roses a little more.
