1st blogiversary !!!!!

Its been 1 year... Can you believe it... Time flies... I started this blog as a platform to express myself and log the adventures of  my new life in US. And it has become a part of me now...
This blog opened up so many opportunities for me to express myself. It opened me to an entirely new world which i have come to absolutely love now. I met and made so many wonderful friends in this past year and because of your love and support, I am able to express myself freely...

I realized a few days ago that my blog is coming up for its 1st blogiversary and thought it was time to jazz things up a bit. As you would have noticed (or not) I did give my blog a complete makeover a couple of days ago. I am also planning to add a few new sections so don't forget to check back in a few days.
I will also be introducing a new member to my blog. It will be a good refreshing change.

Don't worry... The old sections that you love will still be there... But we will add a few more....

Here are the main highlights from the past year....












Thanks again for all the love and support... And I hope you'll keep coming back for more...

2nd Anniversary and 1st ever Cruise... Part 1

Time just Flies by... Its been 2 years since we got hitched but it feels like yesterday....
An occasion as special as this required a big celebration. So we decided to take our 1st cruise. A week of total relaxation and adventure, away from internet, cell phones, work and anything and everything that keeps your mind occupied. Except for Fun, adventure and new friends. 
We took a 7 day cruise with Princess Cruises to Mexican Rivera (thanks to our best friend Yuthika for hooking us up with a great deal). 
    
The fun and activities in the past week were so enormous that it will be hard to fit them all in this blog post...
I will definitely be posting the all our outfits, from formal to totally informal, that we wore in the coming 'Outfit Posts', but here is the gist of our vacation.

Our Beautifully Huge Ship.
946 Ft long 116,000 tons with passenger capacity of  3100 and a crew of 1200.
One of the most amazing floating marvels....

The Sapphire Princess...
A different level of luxury....


Our Running Track spanning from the nose of the ship to very back

Pristine views... Sitting in the warm waters of the Jacuzzi sipping a Pina Colada... 

The Awesome Champagne tower on the 1st Formal Night.... 

With Gourmet Food Each Day....



By the end of our trip, we were already wondering when can we plan our next cruise vacation....
After this 1st cruise, we would suggest that anyone who can spare the time must take a cruise like this. It was the best vacation ever.....
Caution: You will definitely gain 10 pounds from eating yummy desserts 3 times a day or even more. Yummy free food and amazing buffets to be blamed...

There is so much more to share....

Next Post: The amazing adventures we had on our ports of call. Part 2 of this post....

Weekend Edition X

This past week I had a lot on my plate.. It was crazy busy.. So, I have a lot of catching up to do.. sorry for not dropping by your lovely blogs.. don't worry I will definitely be reading them this week...

Did I mention the weekend was even busier.. I din't even know you could do SO much in two days.. Wanna know what I did this weekend.. but before that there is a little back story to it..

We had scheduled " a pest control fumigation " last week.. not that there was a need for it but you know just being a little more careful.. I hate any kind of bugs or insects inside my apartment... So, we've been putting our stuff into boxes.. and I seriously had no idea.. there is just so much stuff that I've collected in the past year and a half that I don't even remember buying.. let alone using it.. and some amazing stuff that I had been hiding..

Actually I could say that it was a very productive week for me.. I cleaned out my entire apartment in a matter of about 4 days and now it feels brand new... well, some of it is because of what we did on the weekend..

Friday started off with me still unpacking the boxes.. especially when you need your morning coffee fix and the coffee machine is in one of the boxes that contained the kitchen stuff!! Ok, now you've got the coffee machine but there is no cup, spoon or sugar and you have absolutely no idea where these things are, So, you go on and open all the boxes, make yourself a cup of coffee with no place to sit.. break the rule of no eating in the bedroom and have your breakfast.. thinking.. this is gonna be a Looooonnngg day.. and before you read on.. I should tell you.. this is going to be a looooong post!! :P

I gather all my strength cause there was a lot of lifting and climbing and setting and cleaning to do so.. but guess what I completed all the work before hubby came home from office... It felt so good... After all that it was time to go out for dinner.. we wanted to try this new cafe I found but turned out it closes earlier than we thought.. We decided to go for Indian food... Comfort food for me... :)









Saturday started out early, you must be thinking I should have slept till late to make up for the tiredness.. but well we had different plans.. We had signed up for an archery class... and lemme tell you.... You should definitely try it.. it's so much fun.. plus I loved our coach.. he was so patient with us.. told us all the technique.. me being the worst at it.. he took the time to work with me...

What I wore : Shirt : H&M, Cami : american apparel , Jeans : American Eagle , Shoes : Skechers

Hubby decided to give me a pose!! Loved it!!




My quiver of arrows!!



Men in action!

It looks like m concentrating too much LOLZZ

It looked like a scene from a movie.. all ready to fire at the enemy!!

targets!!


I did get hurt hurt though, No. the arrow din't go through any part of my body... but while shooting it the string of the bow hit my arm pretty bad and not one or two but several time I guess I needed a longer arm guard.. and now It's all swollen and bluish-greenish-reddish in color and pains like hell to touch.. but I guess that's something to show off.. I did something new.. yay!!

It looks nasty.. dosen't it!


In spite of getting hurt and everything we were determined to do our next project : Painting the wall of our living room.. hubby had been obsessing about it for a long time and we both thought.. Let's do it!!



while going home from the class we thought "why don't we pick up the color on our way home?".. we stopped by Dunn - Edwards.. but voila.. we both forgot the name of the colors we had chosen and got confused.. We picked up a new color that we both agreed on!! and it looks amazing!!

It looks blue in natural light!

and grey in yellow light!




We did 2 quotes of paint on the wall before going to sleep that night...

On Sunday we cleared up all the area..

I made them... :)

 I made four wall decor paintings.. We hung  them..


We  decided a place for hubby's new snowboard..

I cleared up my studio area.. It looks so neat now.. got rid of an old computer table that had been taking a lot of space in my studio..

Gol gappas and samosa feast!!
We finally rested at night by watching our engagement dvd.. and laughing at some moments... and having gol gappas and samosas (Indian Food) for dinner...

and also.. Today is my Brother's birthday...
 Dearest Sukrit.. Wishing you a very very happy birthday!! May God bless you and give you everything you wish for...
 I'm thinking of making something sweet today to celebrate as I can't be with him right now to have the yummy birthday cake!!.... Any suggestions??

Hello Monday : Weekend Edition IV

It's been a while since I've posted a weekend edition.. To be true I haven't been around lately.. roaming around in the wilderness.. which was AWESOME!!

This weekend.. we had to take an impromptu road trip (again) to Reno, Nevada.. So hubby calls at 10 a.m. on Friday and tells me we are leaving at 6 in the evening and it might take two days.. so, pack accordingly.. I left everything I was doing and started making a list of things that we would need and whether we had it or not.. plus thought of something easy to make for dinner, that we could eat before leaving or take it with us..

At exact 6 we left for another road trip, although it was an 8 hr drive it did not seem as if it was a long trip after the last road trip we took.. but we had still not recovered from the tiredness of the last trip and we started to feel it at about 2 in the night and so we started looking for a rest stop.. Can you believe it we couldn't get a place till 4.. There was either NO VACANCY or We were driving through a National forest.. Finally we got a place and straightaway went to sleep to wake up at 9 even more tired.. have no idea why.. Especially me.. I just wanted to curl up on the bed and sleep.. sleep.. sleep.. anyway we had some work to do.. So, we headed on to Reno to visit hubby's bro.. we all had a lovely breakfast, took care of the work and headed back another long 8 hr drive.. exhausting.. took a break for dinner, good long 45 minutes break... then back in the car!!.. Straight to home sweet home this time... The thought of home never seemed so good and tempting as it did at that hour!!

Well, a nice refreshing sleep and long hot shower.. Sunday was perfect with a lot of lazy times with hubby and talks with bro.. it was just perfect..

Here, it is my weekend in some pics...

Having Breakfast!!
