the aftermath!

. since it was our first christmas and since we're "trying" to save money aris and i decided to set a limit of how much we could spend on each other. . after that was decide we just had to wait for pay day, of course because we're last minute shoppers. haha. so when friday rolled around . . did he stay inside the budget? OF COURSE not. . lol. he spent all the christmas money that we had set aside and bought all my gifts and i had him nothing! aggghhh! i really didn't mind all that much since he did such a great job of picking out all my favorite stuff!


1. my favorite perfume!



2. the brand new jessica simpson shoes that i've been wanting.

not to mention all the misc. stuff he got me like another pair of shoes, shirts, a neat hat, and all the mushy stuff he got me. .

p.s. i might add that my jessica simpson shoe collection is starting to grow i've got like 6 pairs!! :)


what a man , what a man.
he thought he had be beat - - until i suprised him with cable and internet! i so out did him this year haha.

the best part was spending all the quality time with friends and family.
i love being a newlywed.

married life

ugh. so here is a downfall to married life, when christmas rolls around, IT SUCKS . . ugh. i hate only getting one gift from each parent instead of tons of gifts from both! =/ poop. i wish i was still a little girl lol and i didn't have to worry about buying anyone anything and just had the excitement of waking up christmas morning with everything under the tree just for me! HA! those were the days weren't they?!?!

tonight we had dinner with aris' sister who lives pretty far away and we got a stinkin picture frame! argh, not to sound greedy i love the picture frame but i would have much rather preferred a $50 dollar gift card which is what they got us in previous years, stinking marriage title lol! =]

ggguuuuuuyyyysssss. . 7 more days til christmas can you believe it???
yyyiiiiiipppppppeeeee!
i'm praying for another beautiful snow day!

ho ho ho merrrryy christmas!!

'tis the season!

work has been incredibly stressful lately, with this holiday season comes bank robbery. thank goodness my location has bandit barriers so it makes me feel a little safer but businesss slows down for us around this time so therefore my hours have been scaled back a bit. no worries though because this is the busiest time in aris' line of business, everyone trying to ship out packages for family far away so the hours im lacking he is making up for. on top of all that i have to worry about buying aris and the rest of both our families christmas gifts, which a job on it's own! Aris is my biggest worry becase if you know him you know he doesn't like material things and loves the little creative stuff which stinks cause im the total opposite. so each year thus far i have scrathed my brain long and hard trying to figure out what it is that i could get for him to make him go wow! and i'm dry. i've got no ideas, i'm going to attempt to write a love poem and i've got eight days to do it in so things are looking grim. even on top of alll that i've got bills to worry about as well. just cause it's christmas doesn't mean we can't pay rent this month . . even though that would be nice. haha.

can't wait for the new year.
each year me and aris write down a list of things we wish to accomplish in the upcoming year and we look back at what we wrote the previous year. that's always a good laugh.

hello world

.i feel like a new born baby opening it's eyes for the first time. i was so caught up in the wedding frenzy that it seemed there was no outside world outside my four walls. i breathed, eat, and slept wedding. . now thats its almost been TWO MONTHS since we said "i do" reality has slapped me in the face :] it has taken such a long time to get myself situated with everything. moving everything in and getting settled into a cozy little apartment we call ours, to starting a brand new job and having to learn something totally new! not to mention writing a million thank you cards! eww. i love you all and thanks for the gifts but i loathe thank you cards, anywho. . as the newlywed little woman that i now am its hard letting go of all the craze from the wedding. i miss it. i was reading in one of my bridal magazines a funny article about how you know your having withdrawls from the wedding when you invite your married friends over to have a wedding dress party. i thought that was hilarious - i wanted to throw one lol.
now i'm trying to make our apartment our home and i'm trying to find creative little ideas to make it that much more enjoyable. i've been searching through married life websites for different themes for each room and now i just need the decorations for them . . can someone say HOMMMEEEGOOOODDSSS!!?!?!? ;] (love that store)
we are still getting the "how's married life" question and i have a feeling it's going to keep coming and i just have one thing to say to that.
"there's nothing else better"
i love my arieee babby, <3
