Sorry we haven’t posted in a LONG TIME. But we’re doing swell, and have big plans for the future! Here’s a peek into what’s been going on in our lives this past year.

Living Together
Posted in Uncategorized on March 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
In terms of The Odd Couple, Billy is a Felix and I am an Oscar. How do we even exist in the same house? Patience, and lots and lots of love.
After I moved in with my grandparents, I experienced the kind of crazy freedom that results in a mad obsession with buying cheap things en [...]

Christmas came and passed, and it’s been almost two months since. That doesn’t mean I still can’t post pictures! Here is a glimpse of our adventures. We had a lot of fun in Virginia, seeing my family and testing our brand new winter coats in the freezing cold (it was 19 degrees when we walked to [...]
Hmm… have we disappeared?
Posted in Uncategorized on December 16, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I see that I have not posted since September. Does that mean we have disappeared? Hopefully not, because we still have a lot of oatmeal to consume. Here’s a quick rundown about what’s been up in our family: Billy goes to work (and is a super worker!), Ali goes to work (and is a super [...]
The Florida Restaurant & Lodging Convention Show with OrderCounter.com
Posted in Uncategorized on September 13, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Last weekend, Billy and I were able to attend our second Florida Restaurant & Lodging Show in support of OrderCounter.com. The company’s booth set up was simply amazing, and I am sure it will only get better with each year. A lot of work goes into presenting during this three-day event, and those in the business [...]

Albelli
The other week, I saw a deal on a free photo book with free shipping from a company called Albelli. The deal only worked for about a day, but I was able to get one book out of it. I made a photo book with pictures of Billy, Dylan, and I, and it finally arrived today. It [...]
The Great Switcheroo!
Posted in Uncategorized on September 11, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I was a two-dress bride.
It was unexpected, it caused a lot of drama, and it cost a lot of money. I spent $630 on my dress, and Grandma spent a little over $400 on hers. In the end, I got my little bit of indie wedding and Grandma got her tradition, and I looked good both [...]

The Storm
We ended up being effected by TS Faye last week after I wrote my last blog post. There was A LOT of rain, and we even lost power for an hour. Scary! Good thing we had lots of candles, but this made me think we should really be prepared next time around. That rain [...]

Bracing the storm in our jackets.
Yesterday was Billy’s birthday! Happy birthday, husband! He turned 23, and fun was to be had by all. Ok, the real fun was cake and dinner and loving people. But that’s more awesome than a bouncy castle at this point (unless we had a bouncy castle… and then we’d never [...]
Westley + Ana: Europe Bound!
Posted in Uncategorized on August 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
We were fortunate to have our dear friend Ana visit us in Orlando before she went all the way to Europe until January. To her, we entrusted our dear puppy-car-idol Westley to photograph on her travels a-la gnome in Amelie! To those who do not know, Westley originated from a McDonald’s Happy Meal maybe 4 [...]

I just opened my iTunes for the first time this month, and I clicked on the song we played for our first dance. Apparently, it had not been played since our wedding on May 24, 2008 at 6:23PM! I don’t want to play the song again because then I’d lose the datestamp! [...]
Happy Bling-versary! (j/k)

We still wear these same clothes.
Yay! Today is the two year anniversary of our engagement! That’s not something we should be celebrating, and we’re not really, but I can’t believe it has been two whole years! Our engagement lasted 21 months, and while I had enough time to plan our wedding, I bet I could [...]
Our Birdy-Themed Ceremony Programs
Posted in Uncategorized on July 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I had always wanted really cute booklet style programs. But… it was not meant to be. I ended up KISSing it- Keeping It Simple (Estupido!). I had a lot of DIY projects on my plate, but this was added nonetheless. While I spent many hours perfecting it, I really loved the final product. It ended [...]

Getting To The Church on Time (Kind Of)
Posted in Uncategorized on July 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
None of us had ever had our makeup done. I had originally planned to DIY hair and makeup on the wedding day with everyone, but less than a month before the wedding, I made an appointment for us at the Dillard’s salon at my father’s request (surprisingly). I chose Dillard’s because I had gotten my [...]
The Cake
Posted in Uncategorized on July 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
At first, we had wanted cheesecake. But then I wanted cupcakes. Then I wanted cake again. Then we wanted cheesecake. Then I found out that cupcakes were cheaper. So cupcakes it was.
Cheesecake would have been fabulous, since it’s one of the few desserts Billy and I love together, but getting cheesecake to look like a wedding cake [...]
Wedding Pictures: Ali’s Camera
Posted in Uncategorized on July 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Usually, I would be one to take pictures awkwardly from my own camera, but since it was my wedding day, I kind of had to put that camera down and take up a bouquet. So, today, I will feature some pictures from my camera’s point of view in a series of posts that provide some insight [...]
Being a Four Eyes is Rad. (Thanks, Zenni Optical!)

So, this is scary. It’s a news artical on how nonprescription glasses are now a popular fashion accessory. Hmm… wait… I thought no one liked glasses. Most everyone I know has moved on from their awkward teenage pairs to wearing contacts. I am the only one out of my friends (ok, group of six best friends that [...]
Who doesn’t love Penelope Cruz??
Posted in Uncategorized on July 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I saw a picture of Penelope Cruz in my favorite BCBG applique dress that she wore in the upcoming movie Elegy (based on the novel of one from my favorite authors!). If I could have afforded it, it would have totally been the best dress for some random wedding related event.
