Happy anniversary to my brother and his lovely wife. A year ago they got married in small ceremony in South Dakota. I remember it was extremely cold there, only 20-30 degrees! I was their wedding photographer, her makeup artist, invites designer, and her floral helper :D it was such a beautiful traditional Vietnamese wedding. Hubby and I at the wedding Just weeks before the wedding, dad bought me my first Canon SLR camera, so I was very clueless on how to use it. Glad he got it for me cuz now I love it!

What a nice, long weekend. I was off from work for 4 days, but I felt it still wasnt long enough though! I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving! This year, we couldn't make it South Dakota to spend time with our family but it was nice to be with our friends in town. Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more.

via via via Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year. It's a time to give, spend time with your love ones and just enjoying couple of days off from work of course. This weekend, were hoping to score a good deal on a Christmas tree. First stop is Garden Ridge since they are having a sale on all of their Christmas Trees!! Have you put up the Christmas Tree yet? I'm hoping that we find one we both love, and have it all decorated so I can take some pictures!!

I will be 6 months pregnant this Saturday and I haven't even shopped at the maternity section yet. I am still waiting for when I can't fit any of my clothes anymore, then I'll get those oh so sexy stretchy maternity pants :D { 3 months } { 4 months } { 5 months } I can tell my face has gotten so much rounder! ^_^ and cant really fit into my wedding rings anymore { Most recent } Spotted these fashionable maternity pix over at IHOD's blog ! I am actually hoping that I dont have to buy any maternity clothes at all so we'll see! :D

Our chair arrived!! I am super happy with the purchase, it is not only cute looking but really comfortable too. Hubby was also impressed with the sturdiness and he took it back saying it's ugly ^_^. Although we got the rocking chair for the nursery, it's temporary home is in our lil living room. Jet is sleeping peaceful on the sofa ^_^ So is it too early for Christmas Decorations? I started to put up some decor last week and planning to put up the Christmas tree around Thanksgiving, which I still can not believe it's next week already!!

DIY Origami Heart Note from Eat Chic Drink via When I was little, I remember making the heart shaped origami out of $1 bills all the time, but never thought of customizing it though. I think it's pretty fabulous!
