A Little Under The Weather

Sorry I haven’t posted lately but I’m not feeling well. So posting will return next week. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Birthday To Me!

Today is my birthday! The day will be full of relaxation and very little work. My plans include lunch with my favorite uncle, plenty of shopping, dinner with my husband and hopefully wonderful gifts. Click here to see how I celebrated last year.

Have a great day everyone…I plan to!

We All Know What Today Is!

This morning’s post is not wedding related. We will return to our regularly scheduled wedding topics tomorrow. Today is all about the election as I’m sure most bloggers’ posts will be.

I couldn’t wait to get out and cast my vote in this historical election. I arrived at the polls at 6:50am and was shocked by what I saw. There were cars everywhere. I had to park pretty far from the school and walk a few blocks to get in line. I’ve lived in my area for almost ten years and have NEVER seen a line this long for an election. I was ecstatic! Everyone was friendly, saying good morning, helping others but most of all they were excited to VOTE.

The long line moved quickly but it still took about 1 ½ hours for the total process. That might seem like a long time to some but it was actually quicker than I thought it would be. I received my “I Voted” sticker and I’m proud to wear it.

I encourage you all to get out and VOTE today! The polls in Maryland are open until 8pm while the polls in Virginia close at 7pm.

See how long the lines were? The school is the building you see off in the distance.

This is a view of the line once I got to the front of the school.

The sticker I’m proudly wearing on my blazer.

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!

I’m Back!

I’m back from Dallas! This trip started out as a gift to my husband but I enjoyed myself just as much as he did. Our flight there started out a little bumpy…okay VERY bumpy due to the weather on the East coast. It later subsided but I thought I was on a ride at an amusement park for a minute. We stayed at the Hyatt Regency and our room was really nice. There were a lot of Cowboys fans in our hotel who came in just for the game. We meet people from Pennsylvania, Atlanta, New York and Oklahoma. The weather in Dallas was perfect on Saturday and Sunday…in the low 80’s.

Sunday was the game! The Mr. and I put on our jerseys and headed out. He wore throw back jersey #33 for Tony Dorsett and I wore #24 for Marion Barber. Once at Texas Stadium we were snapping pictures left and right. I felt like a tourist and wasn’t ashamed of it…not to mention we weren’t the only ones doing it. After walking around the stadium as fans tailgated, we finally took our seats and patiently awaited the start of the game. Some of the players came out to warm up so I was able to get a photo of Terrell Owens before he suited up. When it was time for the team to take the field, the crowd went wild as the players were introduced…it could’ve been the pyrotechnic show too though (see photos below). Country singer Randy Travis sang the National Anthem. It was a close game and at times a nail bitter but we won 13 – 9 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Later that night we went to The Capital Grille in downtown Dallas to celebrate.

Of course we stopped in the Official Dallas Cowboys Store while at the DFW airport to get gifts and souvenirs. I also purchased a DWeddings magazine from a local store just to get a peek into the world of weddings in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. It was hard to return home after such an exciting trip. Below are some of our pictures. {note to clients: this is the most casually dressed you’ll ever see me}
