I am a coffee addict, especially Starbucks' Grande Mochas, yummy! I love to cook (especially chocolate chip cookies for my honey), travel to exotic places, and be creative. As a couple, Mr. Cookie and I are extremely practical, down to earth, and children at heart. We live in a cozy abode with our adorable Pomeranian, and love to play board games and watch movies into the evening.
Over the weekend, Mr. Cookie and I celebrated our first anniversary! I can’t believe that a year has come and gone. It’s crazy how time flies when you are having fun. In honor of our anniversary, we decided to trek up to the Colorado high-country to see the amazing fall foliage.

Hello, hive! Long time no see. I’ve missed you! Man, does time fly. It seems like only yesterday that Mr. Cookie and I were smoothing out the last minute details for our wedding. Now here we are, almost a year later. Crazy, I tell you. Crazy!

For the Bridal Shower Goodie Bag that I put together for Mr. Cookie’s brother’s fiancée (say that three times fast), I made homemade vanilla soy candles in vintage tea cups. They are super-duper easy and really fun to make at home. These candles are perfect as a bridal shower or wedding favor.

A few weeks ago, I received a call from Mr. Cookie’s godmother, and she asked me to do a little favor for her. You see, she lives in Ohio, and she was flying to Colorado to throw a bridal shower for Mr. Cookie’s brother’s fiancée. Since she was flying, she didn’t want to lug favors in her suitcase, understandably. And she needed my help to…

In my post titled, “What is Different about Marriage“, I briefly mentioned the “Marriage Penalty” and some readers asked if Mr. Cookie could do a guest blog about it. So, in honor of the day, I asked him to do just that. With an MBA in Finance and a job as a Financial Analyst, Mr. Cookie…

When Mr. Cookie and I were in the throes of our long distance relationship — I was living in D.C. and Mr. Cookie was living in Denver — we would send each other mixed tapes. As I walked home from the Metro every evening, I always had my mixed tape playlist blaring on my iPod. One song that I listened to over and over again…

This just came across my RSS feed, and I thought I’d share the happy news. Following in the footsteps of Iowa –on Friday the Iowa Supreme court ruled the ban on same-sex marriage unconstitutional –the Vermont Legislature overrode the Governor’s veto of a bill, allowing gay couples to marry, just this morning. This brings the total of states allowing same-sex marriages to four: Massachusetts,…

It was that point in the evening when the reception was drawing to a close. Most of the older folks had retired for the evening, leaving us young’uns to our shenanigans and debauchery. After all, the night was still young at 10 o’clock, and we had a food and beverage minimum we had yet to meet, dang it!

When I last left off on our recaps, my bridesmaids were using safety pins to feverishly repair the gaping hole that Mr. Cookie had accidentally made by stepping on my dress. Unfortunately, by the time my dress was back in working order, the conga line had dissipated. However, it was that time in the evening for the ol’ garter and bouquet toss.

Seriously, don’t leave for your wedding without safety pins in your emergency kit!
Okay, where was I. Oh yes, Mr. Cookie’s foot had just made contact with my train. I heard a ripping sound, and I was quickly whisked away from the dance floor by my bridesmaids. Man, did my bridesmaids have quick reaction skills!
Once we reached the bridal chamber, my bridesmaids grabbed the bag of…

After the Father/Daughter dance our DJ didn’t miss a beat. He popped in “Shout” by the Isley Brothers and our guests flooded the dance floor. Now that the formalities of the day were over, everyone was ready to let loose, take off the formal wear, kick off the heels, throw their hands up, and D-A-N-C-E!

My dad is the first one to admit it, but he’s an old fart. He doesn’t look it, but he’s hovering around his mid-60s and has the energy of a 20-something-year-old. He’s also a part of a generation of men that knows how to dance. My pops has some mad jitterbugging skills. Unlike my first dance with Mr. Cookie, dad and I never practiced our…
