she finally makes an appearance

in december, my sister and i decided to fly to albuquerque and try to catch the birth of our newest niece, isabella. we planned our dates to be just around the due date, and a few days after. we waited and waited, convinced we would miss it. but finally, the day before we were to fly out, the princess made her debut!

we're obsessed with how cute she is. and totally in love with her. :) i love you, isabella grace molai!

carnival, we meet again

yes, you read that title right. we went on a cruise. again. if you think we're crazy, don't worry. we totally agree. ;) the husband found a good deal for this cruise and he couldn't resist. so off we go, to the bahamas again! :)

so in LVoe.. ;)

ever since i got married, and my husband bought me my first MK, i've fallen in love with designer handbags. i worked my way up from coach, to MK, kate spade, and then tory burch. but i decided that i wanted a luxury brand. one that i could buy, use it for so many years to come, and even pass it on to my daughter (if i were to have one, that is :) ). i decided though that the one way i could actually afford my dream bag, which of course was more than i'd ever spent on ANYTHING before, i needed to sell my previous bags. it took me two months, a lot of effort, and time, and even more patience. but finally, finallyyyyyy, on november 6th, i hit my goal (with the help of my husband of course, he chipped in quite a lot :) )

we headed to the louis vuitton store in lenox mall in atlanta. i could barely contain my excitement. it was finally happening!!

this bag is a dream come true. it's truly a blessing, and i'm so thankful to have it. i've learned that hard work definitely pays off. and having a husband that freakin' loves you helps too. ;) 

(this blog post was NOT to show off whatsoever. it was a big moment for me and i wanted to document it so i could look back on it years from now, which is the reason i blog in the first place. so please don't judge :) thank youuu)
