Stopping To Smell The Flowers

It's been a rough couple days filled with nothing but taxes. My brain is on information overload!

If you know me, you know I hate not knowing what I'm doing & especially hate making mistakes! Luckily, I have an amazing husband to help me get through this rough patch. And to help put a smile back on my face, he surprised me with beautiful flowers & a sweet card when I got home from work today. It was definiately a nice surprise! 

Thank you, my love!!!

Project 52:6 - New Chapter

New Chapter

It was a bittersweet day having to say goodbye to the people & job I've worked at for the last 8 years. It's crazy to think that I was only 17 when I started - so young & clueless. Now I'm (a lil') older & more experienced, & ready to take on the next chapter in my life! I am thankful to have worked with such amazing people. I will miss you guys!!!  

{Cheers!}

 

And thank you to all the girls who took me out to lunch on my last day!

Project 52:5 - Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day

The hubs & I celebrated a lil' late. He was out of town & I was busy job hunting. So with the little down time that I had, I put my crafty side to work decorating our kitchen table. It was so much fun being creative & I think he appreciates my dorkiness craftiness. The best part was seeing CB's "surprised" smile light up his handsome face!

Project 52:4 - Unconditional (Puppy) Love

Unconditional (Puppy) Love

I hate to admit this, but before I got Peter I wasn't really a dog person. I thought they were smelly & messy - I didn't want anything to do with them. Then Peter came along & it was puppy love at first sight. It took a lot of convincing for me to keep him, but I finally gave in once I found out shih-tzu's don't shed. I'm not going to lie, I miss the shed free days cuz as of 6 months ago I became a proud momma to a big, black, shedding Lab! It's definitely been a struggle, but I've learned to accept the fact that we will never have clean floors no matter how often I clean. She's totally worth it though!

Snow Day

Yesterday San Antonio experienced it's first snow day in 25 years! CB & I got to sleep in (kinda) & enjoy some of the day from home....then is was off to work after the snow melted & the roads were safe to drive on. Boohoo! It was exciting while it lasted.  

{Warning: The following picture is cheesy, but I just couldn't resist.}

Project 52:2 - Creative Love

Creative Love

I know CB knows I love him, but I think it's important to remind him. I like to be creative & leave random notes around the house when he's least expecting it. This is advice we received from a very, very good family friend who I've known since I was 6 months old. He gave us THE best marriage advice!

Thank you Mr. Rodriguez!

Project 52:1 - Learning To Sew

It was a last minute decision to start my own Project 52. So, once a week for an entire year I will be documenting our marriage. Don't worry, you won't have to suffer through 52 posts of "CB & Tina" pictures - we have plenty of those already. Being the random person that I am, I will be documenting random stuff throughout our first year of marriage.

Learning To Sew

Since we've been married my creative side has really kicked in, so much so that when my parents asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I said a SEWING MACHINE! I have this crazy desire to make curtains and pillows for our new house, and one day Halloween costumes for our future kids. I just hope I can pick up this lost art cuz this girl had never used a sewing machine before.
