Top 2 Tuesday: Favorite US Cities


I haven't done a Top 2 Tuesday in what seems like forever! This week's topic: Favorite US Cities.
I can't say that I have been to too many places, even in the US. Hubbs and I are trying to do a bit more travelling, so I am hoping that I will be able to add to the list. For now, however, the two cities that he and I have visited since being married:

1. Stowe, VT
It was so relaxing here. Even though we don't ski, and we went in August, the town is just so quaint and peaceful. We also drove to the top of Mt. Mansfield and hiked part of the ridge. We are planning on returning to complete the ridge hike. And the lodge we stayed at was amazing!!




Panoramic photo I took from our hotel.


A self portrait of Hubbs and I on the top of Mt. Mansfield- gorgeous view!


2. Newport, RI
This is where we went on our mini honeymoon right after the wedding. I love the ocean, even though I barely get to see it. Sometime about Newport just relaxed me, it was a great release after months of wedding planning. I found the town to be cozy and homey even though it is big and full of people/tourists. I can't wait to go back!!


Panoramic I took from the top of Fort Adams in Newport.


Can you tell we do self portraits quite often?

Wedding & Wedding Pictures

Hubbs' cousin is getting married tonight. It is the first wedding we will be attending since our own almost 3 months ago (has it really been 3 months already?!) I am interested in seeing a different wedding as a post-bride, as I was so immersed in my own for so long. Can't wait to see what a different budget, different venue, and different ideas get you!!

Also- we finally got our DVD with all our wedding photos, so now I can post here!! I will probably try to do a weeks' worth of recap posts, each day will be a different aspect of the wedding. Stay tuned!!

It's Sunday, again!

1. What kind of athlete has the hottest body?
Swimmers...tall, thin, and muscular!


2. Are you a planner or a procrastinator?
Ok so here's the thing...I love to plan- make lists, divy things up. BUT I procrastinate on everything!!!!! My procratination actually makes me more efficient- if I have less time to do something, I do it well.


 3. Diet or regular (soda)?
I try not to drink soda, but I'm not picky if I do. If I am having a mixed drink, I usually go for diet.


4. What's your one "must have" for Fall?
Chunky sweaters that can serve as a coat! I want to lose some weight and change my style, but for now I will stick with what I know. Oh, and long sweaters over leggings!


5. What's your favorite fast food restaurant?
Wendy's is the only one that doesn't make me sick, and I actually like the taste of the food. Give me a small chili, a junior bacon cheeseburger, and a small fry and I will be happy!

Our state recently got it's first Sonic, but I haven't tried it yet, it's over an hour from my house. I so want to try one of everything on the menu!!


6. What do you think is the sexiest profession for a guy?
I think Hubbs is a pretty sexy software developer ;-)


7. Did you wear braces?
I did for 3 years. They figured out, however, that my jaw was continuing to grow and it wasn't really my teeth after all...so the last year was a waste.


8. Would you rather have a guy that's super sexy or kind?
Kind. Who wants to deal with a super sexy, arrogant jackass who isn't nice?!
 


**Oh and...Our wedding pictures got posted!!! I will not post the link here because some of the pictures have personal info in them, but I will be posting some of my favorites throughout the week, so follow me and stay tuned!!

WooHoo Pictures!

Our wedding pictures are done!!! There are some on facebook that our photog posted, and he is uploading the 500+ photos to our website today. I will share my favorites with you guys tomorrow or Monday, so stay tuned!!

When he posted them on facebook, I was at work at the hospital. Facebook is blocked on those computers. I checked my email and had all these notifications of people writing on my wall- they had all seen my pictures before I did!!! I went running from the 4th floor to the main floor and over to our office to get my phone so I could sneak a peek lol I was quite the sight...

Guess I better not talk about baby fever or anything too girly ;-)


*Waves* Hi Hubbs!!!! <3

Procrastination At Its Finest.

Getting to know YOU


1. Do you think mustaches are sexy?Heck yes, but only if it look like this...
LOL!!!! Totally kidding, I prefer a goatee.


2. What's the last concert you've been to?
Rascal Flatts and Kellie Picklet last weekend. Next weekend we are going to see Brooks & Dunn on Saturday night and Zac Brown Band on Sunday night. We are concert freaks, we go to at least 6 a summer!

6. If you didn't blog, what would you do with your spare time?
I don't blog that often because I don't have spare time. Case in point- I should be working on a presentation right now, but I am here instead! However, I am looking forward to spare time once my degree is done. Hopefully I will spend more time with Hubbs.

Macy's because I am shamefully addicted to their housewares department!

Mini Pouting Vent

It's been 9 weeks since the wedding and I still have not seen any wedding pictures *pout* There was a 12 week waiting window, so I guess the upside is that we only have 3 weeks left at max!!

Sorry for my mini vent...now on to write 109 thank you notes.
