Day 23

15 facts about you:

1. I dont have a middle name.
2. When Andrew and I met it was love at first sight (fact!).
3. I have baby fever.
4. I have always wanted to be in a Pop-Tart commercial (do you remember those? so f.u.n.)
5. I have been to Africa.
6. I am a total dreamer. With the help of Andrew, we have an entire folder with tons of details about our future home, where we'll live...etc. Actually, I am the dreamer he is the planner. Its nerdy but whatever.
7. I wash my face everyday when I wake up and before I go to bed.
8. I dont like to wash my hair everyday.
9. I wear the same 5 outfits every week. Lately, if I like something I buy it in every color. You have no idea how excited I am that I will be wearing scrubs for the rest of my life.
10. To be honest, I really dont like to watch sports. A ballgame in person is great, but anything else bores me.
11. I hate flying, but I cant wait til Andrew gets his pilots license! I think its weird that im okay with that too, but the idea of being more in control is a total game changer.
12. I am a control freak.
13. I like tuna sandwiches.
14. I was proposed to at a Dodgers game on the kiss cam!
15. On my left hand I cant bend my thumb without bending my index finger!

That was so hard! Your turn

Pool Day

A ton of photos from our day at the pool. We had so much fun! Loving this summer, fancy drinks, and cute babies.

Day 21

A photo of something that makes you happy:

Our honeymoon. Maybe I am bias, but I think we had the best honeymoon everever. If the airport in San Juan had an air conditioner we would probably go back.

Today

from Andrews Iphone, isnt that amazing?

Day 19

Another picture of yourself:

This weekend we bought new sheets. I lovelove white bedding (white pillows, white sheets, white duvet...). It's kind of a staple when we pick our hotels, too. A little known fact about me: I love routine. Example: I could eat the same breakfast every morning and buy the same style bedding for the rest of my life and be happy. Andrew on the other hand likes to mix it up every now and then. So this weekend, when looking for new sheets, he suggested we buy some with color. I dont think he had pink shabby chic in mind, but its a small victory :)

Day 18

Something you crave alot:

Day 17

A photo of you and your family:

Our little family

Our big family

Day 16

Your celebrity crush:

Wow I felt so lame googling these photos! I told Andrew we had to pick ones before we met so there would be no hard feelings (married couple rules). Clive Owen was totally my crush. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one who knows who he is. I think everyone knows who that girl is up there, that was Andrews crush (circa Elf). After hearing all of his celebrity crushes from through the years we decided he had 'charachter crushes' (i.e. felicity, padme, elf girl).

Okay, silliness is over :)

Day 15

Something you dont leave the house without:

My wedding ring! I loveee my ring, everything from the clarity to the cushion shape. But what I love most is that it was made just for me, just like my sweet husband!

Something to celebrate

Outside Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory
Cheesecake Factory

Photos from the celebration dinner with my parents. We were treated to a delicious dinner at Cheesecake with chocolate treats from RMCF for dessert. We also fantasized about our second honeymoons while sipping on a pineapple mojito.

Today

Day 14

A T.V. show you're currently addicted to:

Easy.

This season really blows and I blame Ashley. I don't think she is ready to find love, but I have to watch anyway because I hear she did.

It's also no secret that I am counting down the days until Teen Mom season 3 starts. Every episode makes me emotional, I can't help it.

Day 13

Your favorite musician and why?:

Chris Martin -Coldplay! We are big fans. Andrew tells me he knew I was 'the one' when he saw my smile during their concert. Im not sure, but that probably had something to do with him asking me to be his girlfriend later that night ;) Also, we took our first walk as Mr & Mrs Fulkerson to 'Viva La Vida" and our first dance to 'Til Kingdom Come'. Coldplay is kind of 'our thing' :)

Scrubs

This morning we went to purchase my very first pair of scrubs! I remember when Andrew and I went to this same shop a year ago to buy our lab coats for microbiology and being so excited for the day that we would come to buy scrubs and stethoscopes. I am so so so appreciative to finally be in this place in life. First semester doesn't start for 2 more months, but i'm enjoying every moment until then. From buying goofy nursing shoes to getting immunizations, i'm livin' the dream :)

Day 12

A photograph of the town you live in:

hot air balloon ride 2 years ago

This picture sums up our town exactly: golf courses, country clubs, and mountains.

Day 11

What's in your makeup bag?:

I dont know about you but I am not crazy about makeup. I am much more excited about the new Olay skin care line. If you havent tried it, you should go straight to Target and pick yourself up the anti-aging eye roller.

Back to makeup:

1. Bare Minerals eye shadow- for obvious reasons these are great. I wore these 3 colors for our wedding and found they work for everyday too.
2. Bare Minerals blush- again, for obvi reasons.
3. Neutrogena mineral powder and concealer- I really think BM is great, but I could never get the swirl, tap, and sing 'happy birthday' to myself process right.
4. Revlon lucious grow mascara

PS: I am aware I skipped Day 8 -song to match my mood- I was overthinking it and gave up.

Day 10

A photo of your favorite place to eat:

At home!

In our first year of marriage we have had our fare share of eating out. At first, it seemed more cost effective. One would see how that is so when compared to using $10 parm and pricey steaks every night. Once I discovered all the ways to cook chicken (and there are a lot) or how to use a crock pot, things were back in balance (and still delicious!). Now when we eat out its more of a treat and I think thats how it should be.

Day 9

A photo of the item you last purchased:

Let me warn you, there are not mirros in the pajama/work out section at Target. So I had Andrew take a photo of me trying this on. I thought 'oh perfect, a picture for today's post' but then it disappeared mysteriously (aka Andrew deleted it). I'll be honest, the last item I really purchased was an Avocado but this was more picture worthy I think.

Newport

Yesterday we went to the beach for the day, making it our first trip of the summer. It may not look like it, but the weather was so perfect. I brought the tripod to take pictures but I had to take them in the morning so I wouldnt embarass Andrew. It would be so nice if we could make all our Saturdays beach days. I'll let you know how that goes.

The highlight of our day was seeing our niece love. She cried and made me nervous but Andrew calmed her down for me. I don't mind that he brags now about being a baby whisper because secretly I told Scarlett to make him feel really special so that he will want a baby. I'll let you know how that goes too :)

Day 7

Your d r e a m Wedding:

I have been dreading this post. Andrew and I were such polar opposites when it came to our dream wedding.

Andrew's vision: Our wedding exactly.

A string quartet in a vineyard setting and his dream tuxedo was all he asked for.

My vision on the other hand: A whimsical, romantic, intimate wedding with our immediate family. Or as Andrew likes to say, "elope". He kind of says it with an underlying tone of disgust but at least he knows me well :) Growing up I never had a 'dream' wedding in my mind, but I did always have an overall sense of what I wanted to look and feel like. If a picture could capture that exactly it would be this:

Whimsy and flower child-like.

One thing I love about Andrew is that he loves people. He doesnt need to be social, but he likes to share himself with others (it definately complements my introvert qualities). Ultimately that was the reason why it was out of the question to elope. We compromised and had 35 guests -including the bridal party! My favorite part of our wedding was the reception. I had this picture in mind when we chose our venue:

If I had $5,000 more for flowers I would have loved to re-create this gem of a table scape. The vineyard we were married at had the same family style seating in a cozy room, it was perfect

Okay my brain hurts. I would never want to plan a wedding again and I am so glad were married already! I find fantasizing about being married much more fun than getting married.
