Curiosity Killed the Cat...

I have a question or questions for those of you out there. I know the following questions will get answers from both sides, which is completely fine and am open to them. So however you feel please have some restraint if you feel very strongly against my opinion but answer them honestly.

Can married people not go out with friends without their spouse????

Can married people not go out and have fun anymore??

Can married people not have friends of the opposite sex without people thinking there is something going on?

My answer to these questions is simple...yes. I think it is perfectly fine to have a night out with friends without your spouse being there. Since when did marriage equal staying at home and falling off the face of the earth?? Just because people get married doesn't mean they can't have fun still...i mean come on people! Now with the last question...I have always had super close guy friends my whole life. My bestfriend is a guy..we have been friends since we were about 8 months old. He is someone I would do just about anything for on the face of this earth. A few of Jonathan's friends have even become extremely close friends of mine. We talk on at least a weekly basis.

the reason I bring this up is because a few weeks ago I spent the weekend with some grad school friends (girls & guys). They live in houston, but in town so I just spent the night. The hubs was out of town with softball so it was easier and safer. On both nights I saw friends of mine from high school and got asked the same questions over and over "arent you married" "where is your husband" "you are out without him"...and the list goes on people. So it really started to bother me that all of these people were what seemed to be bothered by the fact that I was out, having fun and not with my spouse. I spoke with the hubs after the fact about how people kept asking me those same questions and he didnt mind me going out with friends etc. I know I shouldn't let other peoples opinions bother me so much, but I do..I am working on it currently, but it will be a long road I am sure....

So there you have it. Maybe I am in the minority here but we will see how you feel.

And We're Back....

Refreshed, revamped, relaxed and just feeling good. Although I am still wanting to be in Chicago! I think I told him several times that I would move there in a heartbeat. LOVE IT THERE!!!! I am already trying to figure out when I can get back there...I am thinking when my brother graduates in December would be a perfect time!

Sorry for the hiatus, but it was something that was not planned but was needed. Our life had been kinda crazy the past few months and now I think everything is going to calm down for a bit! Thank goodness.

As my summer is coming to a close that means two things: MUST make a decision about my job and MUST start getting back in shape and watching the carb intake...yikes!

Needless to say this summer has been an amazing one so far. We have traveled, which is was the alterior motive to working in the summer to be quite honest. We made a decision to reap some of the benefits of me working...why not?!?! what else should we be doing in our 20's??

Pictures to come soon! Hope everyone is enjoying their summer like we are...happy tuesday! Thank goodness it is a 4 day work week for us..

Wordless Wednesday....

I am sick in bed..oh joy! Could not be worse timing between work, an out of town wedding and July 4th festivities this weekend....must feel better like yesterday...

Hope you are enjoying your Wednesday fellow bloggers.

Home Sweet Home...

We are back from vacation and loved every minute of it...a post about that to come later...just wanted to say hello and let those of you know we made it back safe and sound.

Wishing I was still in Scottsdale...

instead I will settle on the neighbors pool to soak up some rays after I workout...gotta get back in shape..WOW!

Giveaway Winner...

Well this post is a bit delayed that is for sure. It is not that I forgot, but with the school year over today I have been in overdrive trying to get everything finished for today and I have been trying to catch some sunrays afterwork.

I also decided that I would send everyone a little something for summer. Who doesn't like to receive something in the mail?!?! However not all of you will get the towel. So the winner of the beach towel is:

Mrs. Hesson at Meet the Hesson's.

email me at m_odom12@yahoo.com and I will get this in the mail to you shortly!

Hope Friday and I hope everyone has a safe and relaxing 3-day weekend!

Holy Matrimony!

Today JJ and I have been married one year. I cannot believe that a year has passed already..guess the phrase "time flies when you are having fun" is very appropriate. We have enjoyed the past year so much and have made so many incredible memories. I cannot wait to see what else is in store for us.

So happy anniversary JJ! You are truly a blessing and I thank Him everyday for bringing you into my life.

Here is a little trip down memory lane...well I am at work so these will have to work for now.

right after he proposed.

waiting on his bride...

probably my favorite picture of all time!

Happy Monday!

Can You Feel the Heat?!?! Summer Giveaway.

Since summer is fastly approaching is in full swing here in Houston..I started to think about some of my favorite things about summer.

I love being at the beach, being poolside, hanging out with friends on patios and of course enjoying llong summer days without a care in the world. Even though it is stiffling hot here I enjoy being outside for the most part. There is just something in the air about summer that makes everything seem better or not as important. What are some of your favorite things about summer???

I was browsing through Home Goods the other day and stumbled upon some oh so fabulous over-sized beach towels. I immediately put two in my shopping cart. Thinking this would be the perfect way to kick off summer. Well lucky you..I don't need two because JJ could careless about what his towel looks like. So I am going to have a giveaway!

The beach towel is a multi-colored paisley print

The nail polish is called Princess.
