Show us your life - Master Bedroom

Well here it is! I haven't participated in Kelly's "Show Us Your Life" in a while, but I decided to mainly because our room was all cleaned up (which is rare) and I have new bedding.

There's only one picture, because, let's face it, our master bedroom is not not very large.

I purchased this king size bed frame off Craig's List a few months ago for a steal. I really liked the furniture I already had (which I got in collge), and didn't really want to buy an entire new bedroom suite. So I found this bed and it matched pretty well with my dresser (seen below) and nightstand...the queen size bed is now in the guest room.

The comforter is new...it was a wedding present...well it was purchased with gift cards we received from our wedding (we also put some of our wedding money towards our new comfy mattress which we love!). The curtains were just recently purchased as well. Right now, I just have one panel on each window (on either side of the dresser), and I haven't decided if I need two panels. Gotta get my decorator over here and see what she thinks :)

Hope you enjoy!

Bama San Jose State Game

Can't believe football season has already started! I guess I was too involved in planning a wedding, and the summer just flashed right before my eyes. Wouldn't change that a bit though.

We enjoyed the first game of the season last weekend in Tuscaloosa. The weather was so very nice...so unusal for the first of the season. It was great seeing all of our tailgating friends that we don't see enough throughout the year.

Be sure to notice the football cupcakes that were made by yours trully. I will have to give credit to Steven though...he did the A's and I did the other ones. He's so handy like that.

Isn't Harrison just precious in the dog cage? Their new dog was quite precious too!

Gotta go get ready for the Penn State game tomorrow.

Yeah, mon!

...We definitely heard this a time or two while we were in Jamaica!

We had such a wonderul time and the resort was fabulous! I highly recommend it or any of their resorts for that matter.

This is one of the first things that we saw when we arrived.

the wonderful lazy river

Steven checking out the bed

Mom has this print in her living room, so when Steven spotted it at the resort, I just had to take a picture to show mom

beach aerobics every morning at noonish...don't spend too much time looking for use...we weren't participating, just watching :)

spent a lot of time hanging out in this area just looking over at the beach

view from our balcony

dinner at the Mexican Restaurant

relaxing on the beach and by the pool

dinner at the Gourmet Restaurant...the steak was fabulous!

dinner at the Steakhouse

Can you tell we were sitting outside? I really wasted a lot of time fixing my hair because as soon as I would walk out of the door, the humidity hit! We hadn't been sitting at the table 5 minutes, and I looked like I had been sitting outside for hours. The joys of having curly/frizzy hair!!

my dessert at the steakhouse...so pretty

more of the same...as you saw from a few pictures earlier

the pool was so very nice!

just boarded the sunset cruise that we toured around Montego Bay

again...lovin' the frizzy hair

our last picture at the resort as we wait for our shuttle to the airport.

I thought it was crazy leaving the resort over 4 hours before our flight, but what do I know...those Jamaicans don't fool around when it comes to security!

Long time, no post

Wow, I cannot believe it has been almost two months since my last post!

To say that I have been busy is quite an understatement. Our wedding was absolutely perfect and we loved each and every minute of it. Steven and I enjoyed getting to see all our of friends and family that came to celebrate our special day. A big thanks to everyone to helped make the day possible!

Lots of pictures below of all the wedding festivities! Enjoy!

Bridesmaids Luncheon

Four very dear friends hosted my bridesmaid's luncheon on the Friday morning before the wedding at The Club. It was so nice and just a perfect way to start our "wedding weekend."

about to enjoy a wonderful lunch

Pulling our charms out of the cake

Poor Wendi's ribbon had no charm on the end.

After a little digging in the bottom of the cake, her charm was found.

Practice makes perfect

The rehearsal went great...quick and short. You know...everyone has done this before.

We had the rehearsal dinner at the Hampton Inn just down the street from the church. Cindy and Doretta along with Steven's family did a fabulous job decorating and getting everything ready for us. The room really looked great...Alabama football themed, of course...what else would it be?

Goin' to the chapel...

My day started out early on Saturday morning. Christie, Mere and I arrived at the church around 9:00am to find all the exterior doors to the church locked...mind you it was POURING down rain! After we finally made it inside the church, and get to the bride's room, it was locked too!

We eventually made it in the bride's room where it was Freezing! It actually felt pretty good to me, but everyone else was dying. Thanks to Brook for bringing a stash of blankets with her for everyone to wrap up in. After that, the day was absolutely perfect!

A huge thanks to Missy for doing everyone's hair and to all of my bridesmaids for everything they did for me, so I did not have to worry about anything! They helped make my day very stress free!

Missy attempting to make me beautiful...she had her work cut out for her :)


Me and my matron of honor


Me and Mom

A very special moment for me before the wedding...

My dear dear friend, Julie, who could not be at the wedding, surprised me with a visit while we were taking pictures. I was overjoyed seeing her! It meant so much to me for her to come by.

Here comes the bride

These pictures are all courtesy of my friend Doretta. She got some really good pictures before and during the ceremony.

Our wonderful soloist, Amanda. I was not in the chapel by this point, but everyone has gone on and on about what a great job she did (and I have no doubt)...so I am very anxious to see the wedding video.

I think they're ready for me

My uncle performed the ceremony and he did an outstanding job!

heading to light the unity candle. I was just thankful I did not trip on my dress on the way down the stairs

about to be announced husband and wife :)
