A quick (photographic) recap...
J A N U A R Y
- I rang in 2016 with my darling Kayla, my boo, and hundreds of strangers at party thrower extraordinaire Rhonda's super fun #BeatsAndBubbly party.
F E B R U A R Y
- I was part of a new business pitch for the first time ever which was equal parts time-consuming, stressful, and exhilarating... and ultimately super exciting because WE WON the business! That new client is LongHorn Steakhouse and I'm the account lead for the team. (Shameless plug: if you don't follow LongHorn on social yet, you can do so here, here, and here). It's been a big learning experience and as I mentioned above - a LOT of work travel.
- I spent a week in LA and worked at the Oscars again! I was able to get Kayla bleacher seats on the red carpet, so she came and spent the weekend with me in LA too (just like old tiiiiimes). :)
M A R C H
- The beginning of wedding festivities! From March - May we had several sweet friends host showers for us. In the midst of all the insane wedding/work stress that was killing me softly during this same timeframe, these parties were a great reminder that these last couple months of engagement were a special time to be CELEBRATED with wonderful friends and family.
A P R I L
- Went back to LA for the best bachelorette party weekend there ever was. Mary found a fantastic house in the hills for the weekend, straight up Lauren Conrad style. Me saying "I feel like Lauren Conrad!" numerous times throughout the weekend inspired McKenzie to create this wonderful/hilarious video montage... hahaha.
- Chris and I both got in car wrecks this month. 2 separate car wrecks. 24 hours apart. 3 weeks before our wedding. WHAT ARE THE ODDS. Blurghhhhh to the max.
M A Y
- WE GOT MARRIED!! And it was a glorious, beautiful, emotionally overwhelming blur. It was truly the best, most special day of my life to be surrounded by all my family and friends from all my different chapters of life... Duncan, OU, LA, Dallas, and everything in between. After 9 months of planning every little detail (and there are seemingly NEVER ENDING details to be planned - oyyyy), it really came together just how we wanted it. :) I am dyinggggg to get the photos and video back (hopefully any day now!), but here's a little sneak peek from the photographer in the meantime...
- We took a super relaxing/rejuvenating honeymoon to Cabo, and it was wonderful - full of delish food, tropical beverages, hammocks, beach beds, exploring, etc. I did not want to leeeeeave.
- The day after we got back from the honeymoon, I had to leave for a work trip (oy veyyyy), so I didn't get to move into our new place until I was back from that. In case you haven't moved recently and might have forgotten - MOVING IS THE WORST THING IN THE WORLD AND I HATE IT WITH THE FIRE OF A THOUSAND SUNS.
JUNE
- Unpack, work trip, unpack, unpack, work trip, unpack. Rinse and repeat. 😐
JULY
- We spent 4th of July in Katy with my parents and it was lovely. We starting watching The People v. OJ Simpson on this trip (late to the game, I know), and it was SO GOOD. I highly recommend everyone watch this right now if you haven't yet, and then let's discuss.
And here we are in mid-July, mostly settled into our new place and getting used to married life. So far, I give it 2 thumbs up. :)
xoxo,
Annie.
