{Hello} Again

 
Since I have not made a visit to this place in a good 5 months, I decided it would be best
to re-introduce myself to the blogging society...
 
 
That's me. In the black. With the bottle straight up.
Not to be confused with the lady in the back with her hand up looking like she is getting after it.
 
But for a better picture that will make my momma proud....
 
(not sure if the lady is looking at my shoes or booty)
 
That's more like it!
 
 I am a lover of all things, all while having champagne taste on a Natty Light budget....
I am a small town Texas born girl who is lucky enough to call this my husband
 

Z is my sexy dime piece and a saint for putting up with me on a daily basis. We have almost been married for 2 years and together for 5 years. We absolutely love being married, however we have our daily struggles of me being ridiculous and him having to put me in my place and me not liking it.
 
I am a mother of two fur babies, the cutest you ever met in your life.
 
 
One minute we love each other the next we don't. Ace is my bulldog that I got my Junior year in college. I am honestly surprised him and I both made it out alive our first two years together. He was super wild and uncontrollable. Louie is Z's dog. (insert laughs here, we get it all the time) He bites me constantly and only wants to have something to do with me when Ace wont play with him. However, he LOOOVES Z and I let Z know on a daily basis that if he thinks no one else in the house loves him, remember Louie does.
 
I am a lover of family, friends and food (seriously, I gained 20+ pounds my freshman year in college off of double bacon cheese burgers from Jack in the Box). I am beyond amazed daily on how much Z and I our blessed, but I recently learned to be VERRRY specific what you pray for. I now know not to ask to not be materialistic or worried about future plans.
 
We recently just moved into our first house and I am loving every bit of decorating and entertaining!
 
 
I hope you will all stay around a little longer to read more about our day-to-day lives, as we try to figure out this whole marriage thing, get ready for the possible parent thing (not in the near future), travel, cook and just enjoy this time of our lives!
 
 
Xoxo,

P.S. I am sooo horrible at this whole "about me" "introduction" thing...the whole time I was writing this I kept hearing Meredith Brook singing "I'm a bitch, I'm lover, I'm a child....". That's probably not a good sign.

New York {Day} 1

 
Remember that time I didn't blog for a month and went to New York during that time and didn't tell ya??????
 
Yeah this post is about that!
 
Warning the next couple of days will be lots of pictures, so if you are like me and like picture books more than books with lots of words (aka novels) then you are in the right place!
 
This New York trip was to celebrate my sister Hannah's 21st birthday!
 
My mom (Lori Mayo), Hannah, my bff Alyssa and I took off early May 15th and headed to the BIG APPLE!!
 
Our limo ride from the airport to our hotel
 

 
This was lunch at the most amazing Italian food restaurant ever!
 
Carmines! 



 
This delicious lunch was Parmesan shrimp and the special - mussels, clams, shrimps, and scallops!
 

 
This is little Hannie posing like Beyonce! 


 
Times Square!
 






 
St. Patricks Cathedral
 




 
Grand Central Station
 
I kept waiting for my flash mob to break out with Justin Timberlake as the ring leader!
 






 
Our first subway ride!
 



Brooklyn Bridge




 
A girls favorite store.....
 




Allegedly...if you rub this bull's balls then you have like really good luck for the rest of your life...we may have gotten a little out of hand......no pun intended.







We had to take a picture of the Killarney Rose Bar since its the rose of Delta Zeta!
 


The first night in NYC we took a boat tour of the Hudson River and the Statue of Liberty
 



View of the Freedom Tower from the Hudson River - All 1776 Feet!
 





This was our awesome tour guide, Danny!
He sang happy birthday to Hannah and the New Yorker's loved them some Texas girls!


This was our first night out, outfits....we tried finding karaoke bars in "k-town" also known as Korean Town but had no luck!
 
Also, "k-town" and Koren town are not my words, there Danny's.
 


 
After looking back at our pictures now, I can't believe all that we did in ONE day!
I am starting to see why my feet are still hurting....
 
 
Xoxo,
