A Throwback for Your Thursday

Lets go back to March 19th of this year. This day was my bridal shower.

I woke up, jumped in the shower, threw some comfy clothes on and grabbed a white mocha at my favorite coffee shop in town, Barista's. Then I walked down the street to Mira Bella, where Sofie did my hair for the day (: I had just enough time to make it back home before Elle was going to arrive at the house to start doing my make-up. I got spoiled for the day!!!!! I forgot to get eyelash glue for Elle to attach my false lashes so in the middle of doing my make-up we ran to Walgreens to grab glue. This was so funny rushing around to find silly eyelash glue. We made it back and Elle did such an amazing job, I felt amazing. I slipped on my dress and headed to my auntie Lori's where the shower was already beginning.

This was the front door, and by the looks of it, I knew I was going to be walking into the most gorgeous shower ever! My stomach was full with butterflies. Was this day already here? How cute is the umbrella filled with roses? My auntie Lori thinks of everything!

The house was decorated to the nines. They literally transformed the house!!!! They even took several pictures off the wall to add pictures of matt and I. Now I will show you what I saw as I walked in.

These pictures do not even do the decorations justice. I wanted to get married right then and there. "Call Matt, Let me go grab my dress" hahahaha

These cookies shaped as rings were sooo yummy.

The little Happily ever after sign was actually supposed to be the cake topper at our wedding, but when it arrived it was broken so we couldn't use it. I'm so we got a good use out of it to decorate these cookies up. 

Aren't these bride dishes adorable? They were filled with little chocolate candies that looked like  pearls. I would have never guessed they were candy by looking at them!

Some more diamond ring treats (:

This cake was so gorgeous, we could have used it as my actual wedding cake. It was delicious as well. 

I was in awe of the roses frozen into the ice cubes!

This was the bridal table! I think It may have been my favorite decorated space, look at this umbrella!

I was so thankful for all the guests that were there to celebrate such a special time in my life with me. 

Even Matt stopped by after

Thank you to the two amazing women that showered me with Love 

I will never forget this day and all who were there to make it extra special, It's a day I think I could re-live over and over!!

Psalms 20:4 "May he grant you your heart's desire and fulfill all your plans!"

Talk to you all soon

Tina Louise

Once a month I am going to highlight someone that means a lot the world to me.

Let me tell you about the woman who gave me life, Tina Louise.

She is my role model in so many ways, she has taught me just about everything I know in life and continually hear her voice in the back of my head while going through situations in my day to day life. I always tell her when the time comes that I have my own kids, my biggest fear is that I won't remember to teach them all the things she has taught me. I love her to the ends of the earth and no words are enough to tell her how proud I am that she is my mom.

MOM,
Thank you for always making sure we are taken care of. It has not gone unnoticed that you have always put your kids before yourself. Thanks for the hugs that make the world stop and comfort knowing I have the very best mom a girl could ask for her in her corner. You are such a strong willed woman and I love the way you make things happen in life. You have taught me if you want things in life go get it. I love you mom.

First and fore most her kids are her life, and we kind of LOVE that about her.

Emmy is her girl 

She was there planning every step of our perfect wedding day. What she did to make sure our wedding was beautiful was beyond our imagination. She is one very talented girlfriend (:

This was the day of my shower and she and my auntie Lori had been planning for months. The last few nights before the shower she kept texting me that she couldn't sleep she was so excited. This shows her true love for seeing the ones she loves being so happy. This day turned out so beautiful, I felt like I was dreaming. I might even have to do a whole post on it,Wink Wink.....

We had just gotten back from doing my hair trial at Wine and Roses. She laughed so hard because it took about an hour to get my hair done and I was so set that I did not want matt to see my hair that I had my mom take out all the bobby pins out of my hair on the way to lunch where we were meeting Matt. She did it without a thought because she has always taken the time to make sure my feelings are taken care of. 

The night before I became a MRS. she was so much fun to be with. We stayed up until about twelve talking about what we thought the day was going to be like. Oh did I mention this was her birthday. I am so lucky she let me share her day. On another note, Thank you to the Lucatero family for these fun socks!!!!

The day I married my prince she was the absolute best. She made sure everything went as planned and didn't make me lift a finger. I did not have to worry about a thing because mommy doll had it all under control. What would I do without you?

She has sensitive sides, emotional sides and my favorite her silly sides... There is no one that knows how to have more fun than she does. She is the life of the party, always. 

Like when we switch faces from time to time hahahah

This is a little bit scary. 

Every year she lines up my presents because she knows it just drives my inexistent patience CRAZY.... LOVE YOU DOLL

Her grandparents hold a special place in her heart and always will. While I had a lot of great time with my great grandpa, I did not have as much time with my great grandma. I remember her sweet hugs and her beautiful blanket she made me, but not so much of her personality. My mom tells me stories all the time and through those stories I get to know my great grandma better and I get to see the love my mom and her grandma shared. I usually get the feeling I have the same love with my grammie. 

She absolutely LOVES her Giants. I doubt there has been a game that she has not watched in years. She also could give you a play by play of the Crawford family...... She thinks they are absolutely adorable, and I would have to agree. Who doesn't love a cute little family that just gushes love for one another. 

Her parents are her heart!!! She tells me all the time how much she loves them. I also love how much fun they have as a family. The vacation stories they had as a family when my mom was younger are unbelievably funny. I love to see the love they all have for one another.

She shares a Cinco De Mayo birthday with her soon to be daughter in-law

And you always need a best girlfriend by your side

Mom, there is no one more amazing than you.... 

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud; is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.

Taco Tuesday

Welcome back!!!

Mexican is my absolute favorite, like I could eat bean and cheese burritos for every meal, so tonight for dinner we're recreating tacos.

Go grab your ingredients and cook along with me.

I decided to try a healthier version and use ground turkey instead of beef, red and green bell pepper, onion, beans, lettuce, and taco seasoning.

When making tacos I try to have all the toppings cut and out on the plate. That way when the meat is ready so are my tacos. 

In a large saucepan I added the turkey, onions, bell pepper, and taco seasoning. As this cooked I warmed up the beans and started heating the tortillas while making sure to stir the meat. 

Once everything is cooked, your ready to plate. If your trying to make this even healthier you could also use spinach or wheat tortillas, or even better use lettuce as your shell for your taco.

When having Mexican food, how can you resist chips and salsa.

This was such a fast yummy dinner, let me know your special add on to the traditional taco.

I hope you all are off to a great week

Talk to you soon
