Welcome!

This little blog started on our wedding website, which kept family and friends up to date on the planning and details. Of course this is where we will provide all of the recaps of the wedding and everything after. We look forward to keeping family and friends up to date on our lives here in Texas and all of the adventures we share as newlyweds!

Perfect Gift!

Rene and I have been trying to figure out what to get our "host and hostess" for this coming weekend (Katie and Major) who are nice enough to let us stay with them while we are in Orlando for homecoming.

Katie is a big wine fan so we figured we would go with some Texas wine and do one red and one white. However, I always feel like just putting the bottles in a wine bag isn't very creative or cute.

Don't fret though because I came up with the best idea!! Not only is it cute it's functional too! The gift goes from 2 bottles of wine and now they get 2 bottles of wine, 2 napkins and 2 napkin rings!
The napkin rings are just big enough to put on the neck of the bottle and pull the napkins through to create a cute wrapping and a functional gift.

I would highly suggest trying it for the next hostess gift, or dinner party that you go to!

Sad Halloween


I am quite sad today, it's official that Rene and I aren't making costumes for Halloween this year.


With the trip to Orlando and UCF's tradition of super early morning tailgating on game days plus the homecoming parade if we get to campus on time...we figure that going out at night is a shot in the dark if we will "last" that long.


So I guess out super awesome idea will be held off until next year...*tear*

Thursday is going to be a good one!

Today is going to be a good Thursday!

Why you might ask? Because while stopping at Panera Bread to pick up bagels for our weekly office meeting I figured I would grab a cup of coffee too....the best part?

The lady gave it to me for free! It's the little things that make the day better!
Happy Thursday!
