Arizona Get-Away Part 2

On Sunday we checked out of the amazing hotel...and headed off to Frank Lloyd Wright's House! The grounds were absolutely beautiful! Mr. Wright is an amazing architect who was definitely given a gift. If you are ever able to see one of his designs...trust me..you will not be disappointed! Here are a couple of pictures! It was a gorgeous day!

Look at those blue skies!



How would you like to wake up to this view?!



I was obsessed with the cactus!



I totally recommend taking a trip to Scottsdale Arizona!

Arizona Get-Away! Part 1

Our quick weekend get-away flew by but was a lot fun! We definitely want to head back again! Our resort was ahh-mazing! I recommend it to everyone!! There was actually a wedding being held that weekend and it was gorgeous! Here are a couple of snap shots from our weekend!

First, our resort!

If you look straight center...there is a fireplace..and we sat there one evening..so romantic...relaxing!!

Golf courses everywhere! The mountains were beautiful...

This is the 2nd building of the resort that has most of the ballrooms...The decorations for the Holidays were fabulous!

Here I am! What a gorgeous view...area...Look at that fire pit! Also, do you see the bagpipe player off to the left? He was playing Christmas songs...it was actually very romantic!

Inside was just as breathtaking as the outside...

This was the shopping area down the road...Lets just say I had too much fun shopping and I need to get back to working :) Look at those palm trees!!

Next up...Part two!

Birthday Invitations

So, I have narrowed down to three choices! Help me decide!!! Please click on over to the voting poll and let me know what you think.

The first one is fun...and I love how the girl is holding a martini! This invite is from Swoozies.

Love the colors...simple yet fun!

I have decided to go with different shades of pink and tan as my "theme" hence why this one stuck right out!

Invites from Ink Obsession Designs



***Also, a huge thank you to those who left me comments on Arizona! We are very excited for our quick get-away!***

Quick Getaway!

For the past month now..my Husband has been working insane hours! We only get to see each other 1-2 days at a time...then he is gone... He works about 2 hours north..and lives with other guys in the same situation. I knew his work was going to become demanding but I didn't realize it would be this hard! For example, he came home yesterday morning...and left this morning... it gets old so fast!

So, when my co-worker offered us two nights free at The Westin Kierland Villas in Scottsdale, Arizona! How could I say no? So, next weekend we will be having a quick get-away! I will have my Husband all to myself for more than 24hours!

When she sent me the link to the condo..I couldn't believe my eyes. It looks amazing! We have never traveled to Arizona and are excited to explore! We are extremely blessed to have been given this gift. The timing is perfect.

Has anyone been to Phoenix or Scottsdale? We would like to find some good restaurants and things to do!

A Miracle...

Tonight I went to visit some friends who just had their first baby!!! Baby A is only a couple of weeks old! He is soo tiny and absolutely adorable. Words can not explain the change/transition I witnessed tonight when I saw my Friends hold their baby...It was like they were in a trance...a baby trance :)

Congratulations to Gina and Luca!





I loved his tiny feet!



Miracles...

Swoozies!

So, I found another store that I am absolutely in love with! Swoozies! I have never heard of it.... I casually went in one day and came out with tons of purchases!! It is an adorable gift shop with tons of gift ideas, stationary and party picks! It is one of those shops that you can count on coming out with at least something!!

While I was there I snatched a couple cute koozies! They had all different sayings..."Gorgeous" was my other favorite! These would be cute bridesmaid gifts!

While I was there I put in for a drawing....and yesterday I ended up being the lucky winner! So a couple of my friends will be heading over there with major discounts and Swoozies will be providing champagne! We get a private shopping session! Just in time for Christmas!

This would definitely be the perfect store to snatch up some gifts for your bridal party! Click HERE to check out the wedding section!

Christmas is only 16 days away!!!

Sweet Love!

So, when my Parents were in town last weekend...they had their own photo session with Jordana from Hazelnut Photography! I couldn't be happier with the sneak peak pictures she posted tonight! I immediately called my Parents and made them hit the keyboard!

My Parents are absolutely adorable!

My Parents did a lot of laughing..it was cute :) We took my Father shopping for the shoot...he looked soo good!

Yes, I brought two glasses and a bottle of wine...You could call them wine connoisseurs.... Not only good props... it helped them relax... ;)

Jordana even took this amazing shot of my Little Man!!!!! Oh this is definitely another framer!

Friends..fellow bloggers...I highly suggest you get your Parents on the bandwagon of amazing photography...it is something you will cherish forever..During the session, I caught myself in tears a couple of times...I love them so much and wished we lived closer to each other.
