Good Morning from Paris, France

L'amour - Carla Bruni

Kinda wishing I was strolling through the street of Paris this morning. It is also snowing here in Dallas, but not nearly as lovely as Paris in the photo above.

Well one day...



but for now I will be living Paris in different shades of pink through this lovely blog {where the photo above came from}.

I spotted the lovely photo of a snowy paris from Mrs.French Pinterest.

I'm a little busy bee!!!

Ok Go - A Million Ways {I"m pretty crazy about Ok Go}

How was everyone Christmas??? Mine was more than crazy and busy this year. I'm sad {and slightly embarrassed} to confess that I was still Christmas Shopping up until Christmas Eve. Here is a quick recap of the last few days last week.

On Thursday, I got to set up and witness one of my best friend proposal.

{I will post more pictures and details later on}

The same night we also celebrated my Father in law birthday.

We spent hours waiting in line on Friday doing last minute shopping.

We barely got home in time to get ready for Christmas Eve with my Hubby family.

Me and the Hub at his parents house.

We spent Christmas lunch with my Mom and Aunt.

My mom is the one in the gray dress. I double dare you to guess her age!!!! I hope I will get her good aging gene.

This post is all over the place is because I'm exhausted. My hubby, little brother and I took a little road trip to visit our siblings in Colorado today.

A beautiful sunset in Kansas, on our way to Colorado.

If In Doubt. Bake a Cake

Can you believe this week is Christmas???!!! I still have a gazillion things to do.


... like bake a cake. Along with baking a cake I will hopefully also finish all my Christmas shopping today {crossing my fingers}.

Well even if I don't get everything done I will be ok, because it's time to...

Welcome Christmas while we stand
Heart to heart and hand in hand

P.s A very happy Monday to my friends Neena and Shantini who just graduated over the weekend. Whooohoooooo!!!

On a Night Like This

He is one of my new favorite artist. His voice just sooth my soul.

This weekend has been one adventure after another. I started my Friday post around 8 in the morning, but couldn't get around to posting it. I decided to save that post for this next Friday and share with you my weekend adventures instead. Happy Monday!

On Friday, I got to help with a photo shoot at the oh so awesome Ghost Bar in Dallas.



Isn't this just the most amazing view of downtown Dallas? Did I also mention that we got the whole place to ourselves for two hours. It was a blast.



A self portrait in the elevator wearing my favorite polka dotted cardigan from Target.



After the photo shoot, I ran home and got ready for a girls night with two of my bestie.



We ate at the new Mama Pita Mediterranean restaurant at the Shops at Legacy.



{I seriously love you Neena!}



{Oh the adventures and memories we share Bekah. I love you!}



After dinner we walk around and enjoy some beautifully lights. I really do wish they keep the Christmas lights year round. Wouldn't that be lovely?



We got the munchies for some desserts. Well it turn out it was mostly me, who got the munchies because I was the only one that ordered desserts. Yes, both those plates are mine. Yes, I did share.



On Saturday, I got to set up a holiday party with Branching Out Floral and Event Design.







I love the modern decor that matches the modern architecture of the house that was hosting the holiday party.







On Saturday night, I got pretty sick. I had a 102 fever and threw up everything I had consume that day. I was glue to my couch under my blanket on Sunday in between trips to the bathroom. It was so frustrating to be sick, but it was a blessing at the same time. Being sick forced me to rest and just take it easy which is something I don't do too often. The picture above is my hubby saying "Look, I got you flowers to cheer you up" when he got home from his Walmart trip to pick me up some Gatorade. Isn't he sweet!!!

Oh Christmas lights, keep shining on

Currently on repeat right now is Christmas Lights by Coldplay

My hubby and I finally got to go shop for our Christmas tree this past Sunday night. We were debating between getting a real tree or a fake one. We ended up going for a real one, because it was at the moment cheaper and I thought we should try it out as least once as a married couple. We ended up falling in love with our tree and agreed to continue to do so each year.

We just went to one of those Christmas tree lot that usually set up in some random empty field. It was FREEZING and I did not have any gloves on, so it only took us about 10 minutes to find our tree. All in all, it was a really fun experience and I can't wait to do this with our kids in the future and make it tradition.

The under 5 ft trees corner was my favorite area.


I thought this tree was super cute mainly because it was shorter than me.


Hubby and me.


We found our tree!!!!!! It's a pretty awesome tree, and just for $30 too.


We set the tree up as soon as we got home, but didn't start decorating it till tonight. I can't wait to put all of our ornaments up.

You and I...

Let's get rich and buy our parents homes in the South of France

{I wouldn't mind one for my self and the hubby either}



{Getting a house in the South of France might be a little unrealistic, but a vacation there is totally do able? right? One day...}



Let's get rich and give everyone nice sweaters

{How adorable is this first dance?}
