Soo excited for Christmas Eve tomorrow. I have to work (boo) but hopefully the 1/2 day will go by fast. Our company decided to give us the 2nd off, too. So, now I only work on the 29th! Yay!!
And my uncle is here from Peru and we'll be able to get together before he goes back, very exciting as I have not seen him in 2 yrs.

Last couple of wks have been pretty busy and exciting. We attended the Santa Pub Crawl in Ybor. It benefits charity and it is just a ton of fun. We had attended in 2005 and 2006. This year we went with a few friends and were all dressed up. For the next one: santapubcrawl.com

We also went to Eric and Jen's Christmas party. This was the 10th yr, although I believe we have only been to 7, still a lot. It was a great time. We walked out with a bottle of Jack, not bad for the crazy gift exchange.
And we went to the St Pete Bowl to watch USF crush Memphis 41-14. We actually tailgated for about 3 hrs and were approached by 6 solicitors. Yes, I was thinking of putting up signs. LOL. But we had a great time with our tickets buddies and we're totally going to miss them. I have to "lease out" my seats for the next 2 yrs so I am looking for the right duo to accompany Jessica and Leo.



The greatest thing we accomplished this week was getting out our Thank You cards and Christmas letter. I know, talk about late! But, they are out and we are soo happy to be done with that.
Last and most important...
On behalf of hubby and I, I want to wish all of you a great Christmas (or insert holiday here) and hope you are all able to be with family or friends to share in these days.

Lots of peace and love for everyone.
XOXO- RW

This past wkend we celebrated 7 yrs of being together! Yes, 7!
We thought we might do something small and private as we have a super busy wkend. But I was just so excited about it (as I always am) to celebrate another yr with my hubby, that we decided to make it out to a nice dinner. We went to The Melting Pot and had a great time... and were super stuffed!


For our anniversary, I am going to post 8 things I love about Justin. Yes, the number 8 is significant... =)
8. When he mocks my "baby bird" act
7. The way he laughs sooo loud
6. How we can be absolutely silly and weird together and just laugh with each other
5. The look he gives me when he's "trying" to be slick
4. His eyes
3. His sense of humor
2. His kindness
1. The love we have for each other, I love him for it!!

Love him sooo much! Peace.
XOXO- RW

I know I am due when my last post was about how excited Thanksgiving is going to be...hi, 2 weeks later!
Thanksgiving was nice, we went to both set of parents again and had a very nice time. Stayed at my mom's and I went shopping with mom at 5am for our traditional Black Friday spree... so fun!!! Found some great deals!!My new phone...

Fri we went to watch the Hyde Park tree lighting but it took forever so we headed for dinner/drinks a little early. Justin and I did take a walk after dinner to see the tree, it was really pretty! Here is a nice one of Justin.


The rest of the wkend I spent w/ one of my BFFs for her bach party in St Pete Beach. We stayed out on the beach and had a great time. It was a little too chilly for us to lay out but we enjoyed the food, walks, drinks, and the club on Sat night. Overall, great wkend!! And a huge congrats to Jen and Doug!! Love you guys!



One of my other BFFs moved this wkend. Courtney and Brian headed out to Key West. Best of luck to you guys!!

And lastly, one of my fave concerts all yr, every yr: NBT8 from 97X was this past wkend. OMG, we tailgated and it was crazy but way fun. I love the lawn at Amphitheater, it gives you so much room. Great bands, awesome friends, fab time!!


Will post soon as we have a very busy Dec. Lots of love.
XOXO,

I am so excited about Tksgiving this yr. I can not wait to stuff my face with all the yummy foods!!!

And I am super excited about Black Friday! Hello, my name is Rosío and I am addicted to shopping. No help needed, just point me to the sales. LOL
This yr I am on a mission to find the "right" Crackberry for myself and maybe a TV upgrade for our place. Justin is really hoping for the TV. ;-)

Wow, I am so giddy! And Sat is one of my BFFs bach party. That will be soo fun.

Pics and updates next week.
Until then, peace out and enjoy the time with your families/friends.

Last week was a little crazy. It started on Thurs night when we went out with one of our OOT friends that came in for the wkend. Went to the "very old and tired" McDs. Kareoke, it was fun actually. And who do I see while dancing and singing along w/ some tunes... our photog!! Ha ha, it was funny. Here we are. :-) Joelle is awesome!!!


Fri night I took off to Ocala for one of my last 4aaf (advertising prof in FL) conferences. Justin didn't even want to go because he thought Ocala was lame (pretty much). I get there late on Fri to find 2 of the peeps are having their tattoos done while I was pulling up to the hotel. So, no tattoo for me... on Fri night. This is the one I had for a while.

Yes, Sat rolls around and I am itching to finish dinner and go out and get my own tattoo.
We all head "downtown" (lol) Ocala and 2 of us get the OOO tattoo. W/o getting too detailed and boring, OOO (Ad3) is the "elite (lol) fun group of the bunch". So, yes... I am now branded Ad3, OOO and I love it!! Mine is a little smaller than everyone else's and I incorporated it into another one I already had, but I got it! And... now I want another one, not sure if that will happen.
So, here are some pics.

And I was not the only one... ;-)

Good times. I am going to miss all my 4AAF peeps. Love you guys!! OOO

This wkend was fun, too. Went to a Pub crawl in St Pete for a Bday and USF game Sat. Needless to say, I don't want to talk about the USF game. I am beyond upset and dissapointed and wonder what will happen to the team. It was a hard loss and I truly think this will bring the morale down. Just a few more games.
And tonight, heading downtown to see Sarah Brightman, should be pretty good.

I did want to make one quick mention about the Bolts. As much as I was not (at all) a fan of Melrose, I thought it was pretty crappy that they let him go after 16 games. The record was bad but there are so many new players and only 16 games. We'll see what happens. I'll be going to the game Tues. Go Bolts!!

Have a fab week and peace out.

Halloween wkend was sooo much fun!!!!!

We decided we were doing the old people of the opp sex and had so much fun putting our outfits together. I did forget an old man hat but that's ok... we think they turned out pretty good.

We headed to the 13 Ugly Men party with the regular crew. Way fun... and strong drinks.

I'll just post a few of the pics, most are on my myspace or FB. Some can not be posted... lol! This should be most of our crowd.

And that Sunday was the NKOTB concert. Wayyy fun. We dressed up as 90s kids. I literally was screaming like a 10 yr old... I loved NKOTB once again!! And so did all the other ladies in the crowd. It was great!

So, ton of fun Halloween wkend. Hope you enjoy the pics... they are pretty funny. I should have another post soon, I have a surprise so I will post it quickly.

Ohh, I did want to mention the wkend right after the wedding we went to my 10 yr HS reunion. It was a blast to see the old school peeps and catching up. Everyone seemed so different, but it was still great to see them all and restart some friendships. Here are 2 pics.

Until next time. Take care.

Wow, I didn't think I would be posting another one so quick. But last night we met with our photog (for about 2 hrs) to pick out our album and pics, etc. I am sooo excited to see the end result. We absolutely loved our pics and know the album will be awesome, too!

So, my excitement has not left me after sleeping and getting some work done, I thought I would share some of my faves. I made them small but I think you can click on them for the bigger version.
Hope you love them, too.

Justin's hand before the ceremony.


His first look... and my fab dress.


Happiest moment for us both.


We're married... and off we go.


Some shots as Mr. and Mrs.


Our beautiful cake... and our first dance.


There are soo many more I want to post, we love them all!
It was a fabulous day!!

Peace and love.

Hello. If you are reading my blog, you found me!
Yes, I am now a married woman. It has been just over a month. To answer 2 very popular Qs:

- Of course I feel different. I feel married. Seriously, not much has changed. But, I do love being called a wife and calling Justin my husband. I love wearing my rings. And I have officially changed my name and voicemail (by popular demand), so I really feel like a Mrs.

- Yes, we will have children (God willing). No, not yet. We are waiting a few years. Just 2 is the plan.

Here is a fun pic after our ceremony. Love how excited and happy we are. :-)


Being this is my first blog as a married woman, I am going to keep it short. Just wanted to share with everyone my excitement to being married and to start a blog: 2 musts in this lifetime to truly reach happiness. :-) JK

We'll see what topics I can come up with to blog about. Peace and love.

XOXO - RW
