Let's play catch up..

I have been MIA for awhile but that is because I have been really busy which is good!

Cinco De Mayo was a huge success! Lots of fun with friends and tacos and margs.

I started my new job at Whitehead Manor conference center which I really like so far. I setup/break down lunches and things like that and tend to the guests that are there for the meetings. It is only part time in the afternoons since I have my other job in the mornings. I am working a wedding in September at Whitehead so I am really excited to be working with the Bride and Groom for that!

My Best friend had her bachelorette party in Nags Head. It was a fun 'last single' weekend for her and it was nice to have a girls weekend although I really missed hubs and Bax!

This past weekend we went to Ikea for some house shopping- slowly but surely our home is coming together! Well, we did SO good at Ikea! You really have to look through and there is so much stuff so it can be overwhelming but we accomplished a lot. We bought a dining room table, 8 slip covered chairs, an adorable outside wood patio set with four matching chairs and an umbrella, a cabinet/storage for our upstairs hallway and bought three woven baskets to go into the shelving, and a beautiful mirror to hang in out dining room! We were able to fit some in hubs car, but the rest is being shipped to our place on Thursday. Can't wait to set everything up!

My older Sister is engaged! I am so happy for her and Adam. They are thinking about next May for their wedding, so another fun year of planning and showers and bachelorette parties :)

This weekend is my girflfriends wedding! The same one whose Bachelorette party was a few weekends ago. I am SO excited to watch the two lovebirds tie the knot. She was a bridesmaid in our wedding in March and now I am a bridesmaid in her wedding Saturday. Hubs and I will be driving to VA its only 4 or so hours from Charlotte- and staying at my sisters house. My parents are attending the wedding also, so it will be nice to see them as well since it has been since Easter when they were here for the Holiday!

Well, I am off to run some errands and bring Baxter to his vet appointment...

Ayi Ayi Ayi!

Ok so I am in party planning mode right now: Hubs and I are having a Cinco De Mayo party at our house tonight! We love having people over, and it was actually hubs idea to have a little fiesta tonight. Hubs works with two guys who are also both recently married and just moved to charlotte (perfect right!?) I have met and hung out with one of the wives, but we are both meeting the other wife tonight at our house. We are all around the same age-mid 20's and new to charlotte, and looking for new friends so it has worked out perfectly.

We are having the two couples over and our best friend Pat. We are having Margs and beer, then I am making a taco dip, having chips and salsa, tacos with all the toppings, spanish rice, and then dessert! It should be a lot of fun to host, plus get to know the couples better and enjoy the company.

We offered for them to bring their dogs as well. We have a puppy Boston, one couple has a french bulldog, and the other, a english bulldog! I am going to try and get tons of pictures from our party and of the puppy play date ;)

I am super excited because my mom was getting rid of brand new marg glasses and pitcher and salt plate so I took them with to Charlotte and they will give our party that extra festive feel!

I hope you all have a great Cinco De Mayo!

Hostess with the mostest

Hubs and I had our first official guests this past weekend- my family! My mom, dad, both sisters, sisters boyfriend, grandpa and of course we can not forgot the family dog spike came to Charlotte to spend the weekend/Easter with us!

I was really excited to get the house ready for our overnight guests and do all of the grocery shopping and buy cute Easter decorations (egg hunt supplies included!) I would have to say it was a huge success. Hubs and I showed them around Charlotte, explored a bit, hung out and spent quality time together. We went to the Original Pancake House on Sunday morning for a late breakfast then cooked and cooked in the kitchen to make the delicious meal.

On a side note- I have been working from home part time with the job I was doing while in Florida. I am so excited that I landed an interview tomorrow for a possible event planning job at WhiteHead Manor here in Charlotte. I am looking forward to see what it will have to offer :)

Getting Started!

So this is my first blog post and I am so excited!- I wanted to start a blog like most people; to be able to look back on the good times, adventures and special moments that is life. My Husband and I were just married in March- 1 month ago today(!), new homeowners, and  recently got a boston terrier puppy and named him Baxter.

Our family and friends are spread out in a lot of different states so I am missing them all so much but I am also excited for this new life here in NC with my hubs!

Stay tuned for more exciting things....
