Pumpkin Pie Poptarts

I love poptarts. I mean, LOVE them. It's pure torture to walk by these in the grocery store and not put a box in my cart (because you know, unfortunately, trying to eat healthy doesn't usually involve poptarts). Nevermind the fact they have pretty much no nutritional value. Nevermind that they have a ridiculous amount of carbs... or the fact that a package of these delicious creations cost me 400 calories first thing in the morning. M shares my love of poptarts, but he is a little more selective with what kind he chooses. Me? Not so much. I don't discriminate. I love them all.

But... I also share a similiar love of ALL things pumpkin flavored. So when I heard about these...

well, you can just imagine my excitement. Pumpkin Pie Poptarts? Uh, yes please! Heaven. I had to get my hands on them, ASAP.

Only, I can't find these things anywhere! I was told my best bet was Target, in the seasonal aisle. I kid you not, I went to 5 different Targets over the weekend looking for these. All of them were sold out. I went to the local grocery store and even crossed my fingers as I walked into Walmart. Nope. Sadly, they are no where to be found. I even called my sister in law to explain the severity of this situation (don't worry, she is used to these types of phone calls from me). She agreed to look around at a few Targets out her way. Nothing. I mean, what gives? Do I need to start hanging out at Target waiting for shipments?

Has anyone tried these? I am seriously considering buying them off of Amazon.com if I don't find them at Target soon.

Honeymooning With My Husband

M and I honeymooned in Riviera Maya. Our resort was absolutely gorgeous. We spent much time pool side with drinks in our hand relaxing. We also jet skied and went swimming with the dolphins - our favorite part of our vacation.

My brother and sister in law went with us. A little odd? Perhaps. Originally we were going to get married at our resort and my sister in law and brother were our matron of honor and best man. By the time we decided to have our wedding at home, with family, our trip was already booked. The four of us had a blast and would definitely go back to our resort for a future vacation.

We stayed at Dreams Tulum Resort and Spa. I recommend it to anyone looking to vacation in Riviera Maya/Tulum area. The only bad part was our ride from the airport to our resort. It was a solid 1.5 hour drive AND the air conditioning in the van wasn't working. But they greeted us at the hotel with wet wash clothes and glasses of champagne. Nice!

I also got my nose pierced when we left the resort for a quick shopping trip in Playa del Carmen.

I have wanted my nose pierced for a while now but M was so against it. He didn't like the idea at all. Finally I talked him into it - I told him I would wear it for a week and after that I would take it out if he hated it. Wouldn't you know, his first comment after seeing it was, "I really like it!"

I don't have a picture of the actual piercing. M couldn't stand to watch it. I assumed they would pierce my nose like they pierced my ears - with a piercing gun. Not so much. They used a needle and shoved it through the inside of my nose. I was totally not prepared for that and it hurt like bitch! I'm glad I didn't know that before hand, because I just might have chickened out.

Here are a few pictures...

Hey, Is This Thing On??

Testing... 1... 2... 3...

Wow. So it's been almost 2 months since I last blogged. I'm not making any excuses. I didn't have a whole lot of blog material... and I was stressed with wedding planning.


Anyway, I'm back and a lot has happened in the last couple of months. M and I got married and went honeymooning. I got my nose pierced. I also changed positions at my job. I ran my first 5K. And some other exciting things. I'll be catching you up over the next couple of weeks.


First, let's talk weddings. M and I tied the not on September 25 - both the wedding and reception were in my parents backyard. It was perfect and very "us." Neither of us wanted a big fancy wedding... because well, neither of us are big fancy people. The wedding ceremony was for immediate family only. I blubbered through my vows (and remember this post... I never cry). And the "reception" (if you even want to call it that) was very laid back. After the traditional dances - i.e. first dance, dad & daughter, mother & son - M and I changed into a sweatshirt and jeans and hung out with everyone else around the bonfire. It was so much fun. M and I are truly blessed. We have amazing family and friends. Our day was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it.

I will leave you with a few pictures. We don't have pictures from our photographers yet, so here are a few that other people snapped.
