Maybe Baby WANTS to be in the corner...

Hello! Debbie Casale here (my name change is OFFICIALLY complete!!!! SO EXCITING!!!)

I would just like to preface this rant by telling you that I generally am not a bitch. Unless someone fucks with my husband and the people we love, or animals, I try to keep the peace and stay pleasant.  That being said, I am about to sound extremely ungrateful, bitchy, and snobby but it is what it is.

A Holiday Riddle

How do the Casales manage to go into a store, pick out a kickass Christmas gift for someone, purchase it, leave the store with it, yet they can still say they stole it?

Answer? They fell for a genius scam.

The Luckiest Girl In The World

Happy Tuesday!  Debbie here, and this one is going to be written entirely by me because I have some things to say about my birthday.  I must warn you that this is going to be one of those mushy, super happy, endlessly appreciative posts so if you aren't into that sort of thing, avert your eyes!  But if you are one of those awesome happy people who likes seeing others happy as well, read on.  I was a little (insert unsure face here) about turning the big 3-0 this year. I am so unbelievably happy with my life.  I feel like I am exactly where I am supposed to be and I couldn't be happier!!!! But the thought of turning 30 just made me feel like it is almost over and that horrifies me to no end, I don't ever want this amazing journey to end.  The past few months I really haven't had any time to be concerned with that though because we have been just over the moon planning our AMAZING wedding.  We spent a lot of time and cash on making it everything we ever dreamed and ensuring everyone had a blast (we hope you did!!!) The day was perfect and I got myself the best husband in the whole world out of it so that was simply the best present of all time!

The Beginning

Evenin' y'all! We hope you all had a wonderful November. Honestly, there is no way yours could have been as awesome as ours...but we hope it was still good!!!!

Worlds Largest Blog Post

Well hello! We hope you are having a blast this weekend and getting into all sorts of adventures.

We had a very roadtrippy day yesterday,I know, hasn't every day been "roadtrippy"? Well, yes. But yesterday we saw a lot of roadside, pull over to take pictures, type of attractions! 

After we woke up and checked out (using our TV!) we packed our things into the fantastically reorganized car and headed to see the Gateway Arch.

Funhouse Friday!

Good afternoon, from the road! We hope all is well and you are getting ready for the new Walking Dead episode tomorrow! 

Yesterday morning we woke up in sunny Miami! Well, it was Miami, Oklahoma so not so much with the sunny! While we were getting ready we got a text and a voicemail from Pat's mom saying that she read our blog post about Lucky. She and Pat's step-dad, Doug, so generously offered to keep Lucky with them until we buy a house! Of course we didn't want to inconvenience them, but they are just as excited as we are about her! After we talked to them, within the hour they already went out and bought her all sorts of fun things. She is going to be a very spoiled girl and we think she deserves it!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We hope everyone had/is having a wonderful, safe, fun, nap inducing Thanksgiving!

The first thing we learned yesterday was that Texas closes EVERYTHING for Thanksgiving. We wanted to stop and get breakfast and nothing was open with less than an hour and a half wait so we decided to go the snack route and keep trucking! 

The Hitcher

Hola, y'all! How was your night? Ours was fantastic! We stayed at our favorite hotel of our honeymoon (so far!) last night. The Clarendon of Arizona is fantastic. If you are ever in the area and needing a hotel, definitely try for here! The staff was unbelievably nice. When we walked in the first thing they asked is if we wanted snacks. (Uh, YAH WE DO!)

We made our way to the room, which was just modern enough to be cool without trying too hard. (They also had the best hotel pen of our trip!)

Phoenix Impressions

Greetings! We hope you are all having a great week in preparation for Thanksgiving! Today was pretty much entirely spent trying to escape California. We use the word escape because our GPS just kept adding hours onto our route out. Of our entire roadtrip thus far, California had the most traffic and the craziest drivers.

Pretty much sums up sitting in California traffic.

California Love

Greetings from the West Coast! We spent the last three days in Californ-i-a and definitely had some fun. Our first stop was to sunny Los Angeles where it was 102 degrees as we entered the city!!! Then we parked and made our way to a primo spot to see the Hollywood sign.

3,413 Miles & Counting!

Hello!  We hope you have such a fantastic and adventure filled weekend! If our past 5 days is any indicator, we sure will! After we had our desert Denny's this morning we headed to our reservation to tour Antelope Canyon. If you guys are ever out that way, you should absolutely take the hour and a half and go there. Specifically, use Ken's Tours, they're so great. Our guide knew all of the great shots to take, he talked to us about our cameras and GoPros, and even played a fancy wooden flute! We must have taken a zillion pictures, enough to fill both of our phones and use an entire GoPro battery.

Greetings from the Southwest!

We haven't written in a couple of days but i promise it is for good reason!!! We made or way to New Mexico which is amazing. It is absolutely beautiful there, if you have never been...go.  Our first stop in the Land of Enchantment was Roswell. Everything was alien themed in the best way possible. Aliens were on tax professional office buildings, UFOs were crashed into the side of buildings, murals of aliens making contact, it is just fantastic. Of course we had to stop at the UFO museum!!!! We learned so much there, it is definitely a place to go, especially if you are hopped up on unnatural amounts of caffeine. Then we hit up Burger King which had a little office out back...

Greetings from Dallas

Evenin' y'all! Today was another amazing day! Gotta say, New Orleans was one of our favorite places, hands down. We started our day there and walked around. We went to this adorable little coffee shop and had some of the best lattes ever. Then we went to see the Mississippi River!

Greetings From N'Orleans

Hi y'all! Hope you've had a fantastic day! We spent today traveling down south, which is full of all sorts of mountainous majesty, front porches, and good 'ol home cooking. That might sound like we are stereotyping but it is true in the best way possible. We started in Tennessee (of course I had to go there when I told Pat he is the "only Ten I see!") and we got to experience the time zone change which gained us an hour (it was kind of a strange feeling) then we made our way to the Unclaimed Baggage store in Alabama where we found out the ORIGINAL Hoggle from Labyrinth lives!!!!! Dance magic dance, y'all!

Greetings From Tennessee

Well we are at our first hotel, in Tennessee right now! Such a great day. For the record, we didn't actually leave the house in "T minus 4 hours". Anyone who knows us could have guessed as much. We left around noon and ate some lunch and then we were on our way! Something we learned today is that Virginia is effing HUGE! It took forever to drive through but was well worth it. Such beautiful scenery, so many adorable cows and horses, and a really cool SELF SERVE Dunkin Donuts! 

Welcome to our Blog❤️

T minus 4 hours until we leave for our honeymoon! Before we get into the EPIC awesomeness that is our cross country tour, Patrick and I would like to say thank you.  Thank you to everyone who celebrated last night with us on beautiful Friday the 13th and made our wedding a night we will never forget.  To everyone who was there to dance the night away with us, and everyone who celebrated from afar, we love you more than you know.  It really is an indescribable feeling to have all of the people you love (at least most of them!) in one place. Our hope is that everyone had as magical a night as we did.We love you so much.

After coming home we picked up our rental car and went to pick up some essentials and run some last minute errands.  We are going to be blogging from the road so feel free to follow back for some photos and updates!

Love,
The Casales
