Zach's 24th!

Last week Jan 9, my sweet husband turned 24! I must say that we had the best day!
The Presents! 

Started out with us getting Brunch at Green Street, this is a very eclectic place in Coconut Grove and although the wait is always long the food and atmosphere are well worth it. Zach enjoyed whole wheat Banana Pancakes which were amazing.

After brunch we decided to do a little birthday shopping, First we went to this great furniture store that I had a Groupon for, we found a wonderful Red Table for the entrance of our apartment! I so love it!!

New Red Table! (I know you love it)
Then Zach's Parents gave Z money for a TV, so we bought a 32"for the bedroom. I will say that I am in love with it! (Side note I have been watching Apple TV all weekend, LOVE!)

After that we came home and I made Red Velvet Cupcakes, Z's Fav! (*side note- I always break my fast for one day on Z's birthday, just so you know I didn't quit!)

Big 2 4!
Yummy! 
Then he opened his presents! I had to make up for Christmas, and I think I did.
All the opened gifts! 

At 8:00P we went to South Beach for a wonderful dinner at Smith and Wollensky, this was part of our date night New Year's Resolution and a Birthday Dinner. We had a great table right on the water, and the food was delicious. We took a walk along the water after dinner. It was such a great night.

I like the Cookie Cow!

I must say that still when I think about this Sunday, I smile! It was the absolute best day, something about it's simplicity and the way we did so much with doing "too much" made it the best. In life I feel like it is so important to realize that sometimes the best days slip by without your notice. I dislike the saying "Time Flies" perhaps because it makes me face my own mortality or the fact that I love my life the way it is and I don't want to turn around one day and say "Where did my life go?" So in this respect on these quiet, but amazing days I take notice- this way to make every second last. As we never know when it go be our last moment.

I have much more to post, slowly but surely...

Clear Headed

I am back to blogging. I took a five year hiatus and honestly I have missed the outlet. I enjoy this release, and the ability to share with people (even if it's only 2 of you - hi mom!) I turned 30 this year and I am really focused on becoming and showing my authentic self. I love birthdays because I feel like its always a good time of renewal and to reset goals and visions. I am all about making myself better, and really discovering what is going to make me happy, and thats all about what habits and ideas are going to be sustainable. And this is a great platform to write about all those interesting things, that I am sure other people can relate to. So in this journey for authenticity I really want to strive for a simplistic materialistic approach in my life (this is a pretty new idea for me), but I think it will allow more space for the things that really matter. In an effort to move in that direction I received a little inspiration (which as we know always presents itself in ...

Crazy. Beautiful Life

Image
Well the past few weeks have been crazy! I am really getting into my new role and I must say I feel as if it suites me. Now I am still  "rookie" in every sense of the word, but to be honest I am learning from a great master. There is no better person to help me transition into this role and be the best that I can possibly be. And hey I am still me, I still Love, Love :) and that is what it is all about. When you have the honor of being a part of someone's most special day, a day that they will remember forever it really makes you realize how beautiful love is. We have a busy month ahead and I will try to update you on some of the weddings we do whenever possible because please do not doubt that they will be every bit of the word fabulous. In other news it seems that 2011 is the year of the weddings, Z and I have a lot of dear friends and family getting married this year. We are excited for this fun filled summer and fall and hope to make a lot of great memories along th...
