I am longing for fall

I've been longing for fall, which is pretty comical because I've been sick for the majority of this month and have barely left my house a handful of times. So to say I've endured the heat isn't exactly true! Ha! However it seems the older I get the more I long for fall and spring. When I was a kid it was all about summer and winter! Now as time passes I seem to appreciate the shorter seasons of fall and spring. They seem fleeting which is probably why I want to cling to them!

Since I can't feel fall where I am because we are still having 100 degree weather here, I've been coming across some beautiful fall/harvest time recipes online. My new obession is Pinterest. Which is AMAZING. Its where you can "pin" just about anything you want. I have found so many recipes I want to try, blogs I want to read, and I've seen soo many beautiful photos of places I want to visit! The site is by invite only though, BUT, I can send you an invite if you'd like one. Just comment below with your email and that you want a pinterest invite and I will send one your way!

One special dish I made to share around Thanksgiving were Caramels! They were delicious homemade, and I've had requests to continue making them. However this year I think I might switch it up. I found a recipe for Apple Cider Caramels at an amazing blog. Just click the name of the recipe and it should take you right to it! Simple huh?

Don't those look amazing?! That is for sure going to be made this year! I can't wait!

Another crazy thing I've come across is the Starbucks secret menu!!!! I knew some places had secret menus but I had no idea Starbucks was one of them! Now I feel deprived, like I've missed out on this for so long! Hahaha! Anyway I thought Id let you guys in on the secret so I'll add it below!

Alright loves! Its time for me to take some more medicine but I want to leave with you with a few fall inspired photos!

Wishing you cool breezes with no sniffles and smells of spice in your kitchen!

Love,

V

time marches doesn't it?

Its been so long since Ive been able to get on here. When I left you I had just been married and was sick..... Well as it turns out I am sick again! Man! But since then We've moved and have been preparing for deployment. And as you know life never stops because your busy! But I wanted to touch base and hopefully get back to seeing you more and more on here. I hope this blog post finds you safe and healthy and happy!

Spirits lifted by Photography

Well, I am still under the weather! However that did not keep me from having to get out of my house and run what felt like an endless amount of errands. I didn't know you had to go to sooo many places after you get married to change your name and file endless amounts of paperwork. I haven't even started on the military paperwork yet! Anyway I felt like I had a million stops to make today and no energy to do so. After I got home I was thinking and looking for things I could do to revamp my wardrobe without dropping a chunk of change. Getting married is expensive especially when you have to pay for all the paper you they require you to file lol! We are also moving at the end of the month and that saps the funds too. So, I thought of how I could get some new clothes while not spending a dime.... I found a fun video on youtube and thought I would share it with you. Its a  Tshirt Cutting Video by Kandee Johnson

I think that I'm going to do this to my Fanta Shirt! It's a men's style shirt but I think that will lend itself nicely to cutting and be even more comfy than it is now. I couldn't resist the cool vintage look and the grapey color!

I've always been a big lover of Disney. Pretty much anything Disney I love! I've also always loved photography. I always liked the idea of a moment caught in time and everything that can be conveyed in a photograph. So I thought I would share a few of my favorites. Most of these photos can be found on Disney's Wedding Blog I found most of these when I was looking at things for my wedding and thought I would share them with you. Hopefully you will find some inspiration even if your not a Disney fan and hopefully they will lift your spirits like they did mine!

 Me and my husband did a shoe picture after our wedding but I have to say... this trumps it! lol

  I've always thought this was beautiful and whimsical

What is a better dream wedding breakfast than dunkin donuts right before you slip into your glass slipper!!

Such a cute cake! Especially for a fall wedding.

What can I say besides sublime to all those photos!

These last few are featuring celebrities and shot by Annie Leibovitz for her Disney Collection. I would love all of them to adorn my walls! They are beautiful!

My First Few Days...

Well here I am a week into being a wife and I've been sick 5 out of the 7 days and my husband was gone with his unit 4 days! lol Guess thats the way the cookie crumbles sometimes. Being sick is noo fun at all, especially when I have nothing interesting to tell you! But Ive seen some cute things online that I'd like to share with you. Hopefully some will make your day in one way or another.
