Crawfish & Rainstorms

It seems like the only thing that happens in East Texas is rain. And i love the rain. As soon as i hear that its going to rain that day, i get this secret excitement deep down.

Just as long as it doesn't rain on May 2nd, ill be golden :]

This weekend was spend relaxing and growing with Colby.

This man, is incredible. He pushes me to places i never thought i would reach.

He motivates me to work out, which I've been getting compliments lately so something must be working! He motivates me to be more in the word and just to be an overall better person.

Friday night was spent on the couch, enjoying each others company and cleaning up a spilled bottle of wine. joy.

Saturday i hung out with my parents and went shopping for honeymoon/wedding clothes! I found my wedding shoes and my rehearsal dinner shoes, hallelujah! Ill post them after the wedding.

I got to hang out with this guy and he drove my car. He is such a cautious driver. This is my little brother, Nick.

Saturday night Colby and i ate....crawfish. oh heaven.

We drove 15 minutes out of town to a place called Crawdaddys, on Lake Palestine.

The atmosphere is what makes this place so awesome. Tiki torches lit around the back patio, picnic tables and music. It felt like summer.

My new favorite pair of shorts. Thanks mama.

Colby HATES mushrooms, and i could eat them everyday.

These guys were more spicy than the crawfish.

We ended up eating 7 pounds all together. And it was worth every penny.

I think its good for the soul to be outside, completely content with your other half, just enjoying the moment. And now, we have a new crawfish spot.

On Sunday morning i drank coffee with Bri at Starbucks. Its always so good to catch up and recharge my soul with her. Her and her husband came over after and we cooked a good lunch and then ran hills till we passed out. Its a blessing to have friends who motivate you mentally, physically and spiritually.

My aunt Rebecca makes candles and this one is lemongrass to ward off insects. The little chimney was also a wedding gift from her as well. Totally came in handy this weekend!

We ended our weekend with the back door open, listening to the thunderstorm and rain.

I wouldn't trade any of these days for anything.

19 days and I'm a Robertson.

GOD YOU ARE SO GOOD

Cheers

Finding the answers

Colby recently found this guy through Bethel music and I'm so glad he did. His name is Bill Johnson and his way of teaching is so easy and so comforting.

If you're needing answers, or needing encouragement, click the link below and let this message speak to you. It spoke volumes to me. Mostly around minute 17-20.

If you're like me, its hard to find quiet time, so in the mornings when i get ready, i play videos. Whether it be beauty channels or sermons. The sermons should over weigh the other channels but, ya know, I'm human. I pray that i can find more time to be connected. For so long i didn't realize that this is the key to a happy life. Being connected with God and close to God and having him fill your life is what is going to make you a joyful and fulfilled person. 

I'm still learning to be a better Christian. It is literally an every day battle. But i wouldn't trade this struggle for anything in the world. I have blossomed over the past year and i owe every bit of it to Jesus. I couldn't of done it alone.

I hope each of you can find your way if you're feeling lost or confused. Watch the video, i promise it will help.

Have a great week ladies and gentlemen.

Only 25 more days until the wedding. #ohsnap

Bachelorette Party Weekend

Waking up in Houston always makes my heart happy. There is just something about that city that makes me feel alive and like I'm a young 21 year old.

It also reminds me that i am not a young 21 year old [hehe]

The saying, "the days go slow but the years go fast" is so relevant to my life right now.

In 26 days i will be a married woman, and i never in a million years would of thought id ever have my very own bachelorette party!

My bridesmaid and cousin Laura, and my maid of honor Alexi treated me to the city.

We ate good food, had a spa day, shopped, went downtown and danced at a piano bar.

We used UBER for the first time. "Cabs are here"!

And laughed at Jimmy Fallon videos. "EW"

EWW

Lifes good, y'all.

This cookie cake saved my life.

Below is Tiny Box Woods. The most amazing brunch spot in Houston.

Champagne fruit punch.

Spa day.

This is the view from our amazing hotel.

We bought these cute rings to wear out everynight. They were a hit.

This girl and i were celebrating our parties the same night! 

When we saw each other, we pointed and ran and hugged like we were best friends.

Night #2.

Ate the best sushi I've ever had at RA.

The aftermath....

At the end of the trip, i realized that i was so thankful i didn't do a typical bachelorette party. Just isn't me anymore. I didn't want strippers, i didn't want the club scene. I just wanted time with my girls, good drinks and food, and great quality time to myself and with friends.

I can't thank you ladies enough for catering to me during the most special time of my life.

I love you all!

Surprise parties & wedding hair

Today marks 31 days until the wedding. 31. freaking. days.
Becoming a Robertson is getting more and more real guys.

Last weekend i got the family together and surprised my mom for her birthday at her favorite restaurant, Wasabis. She has done so much for the wedding, pretty much all the planning and she deserves the world!

This is my fiancé, being the cutest.

Colbys mother and my mother, talking wedding plans.

My grandmother, grandfather and Larry [he takes darn good care of my grandpa]

These eggs are fresh laid, all natural eggs that a guy brings to the office a few days a week. I can't pass up 18 fresh laid eggs for $3 bucks. FYI, free range, cage free and all those labels you see on your eggs at the store...such a scam.

Tonight i went to my FABULOUS hair stylist Tyler and we did a run through of my wedding hair. I could not be more in love! He had the same vision as me and I'm so STOKED to rock this look on my wedding day!

Oh yeah, and it took 64 bobby pins to hold up my massive amount of hair.

As the wedding draws closer, more things are falling in place. I now only hope to take each day as it comes and to not rush the wedding as much as i want to be married to Colby. This moment will pass and i want it to be special. If you're engaged and your wedding is a year away, take advantage. It will fly by, i promise! 

Tomorrow i travel to Houston with Alexi and Laura for my bachelorette party. 

wish.me.luck.
