Loving my life!

Here is a list of all things big and small that I am thankful for:

♥ My truly amazing Husband! He is patient with me, the most forgiving, the sweetest, the most caring, the most passionate, the very best friend anyone could have and oh so handsome. He truly completes me! I am so blessed to have married my very best friend! This past year has been magical for us and I can't wait for our next chapter! It's the best feeling in the world to live each day with the person you love most. He makes me laugh every day and I wouldnt change a single thing about our lives together! Can't believe this was our first holiday as a married couple. :)
♥ coffee in the mornings! the smell, the taste, the caffeine. score!
♥ I am so grateful to have been able to have the wedding of our dreams! Our families are the very best and we couldn't have asked for anything more beautiful! so blessed!
♥ Our amazing families! We are so blessed to have the most supportive families!
♥ Our friends who are family! We are so lucky to have the love and support from the very best friends!
♥ Nail polish. Nothing makes me happier than freshly painted nails!
♥ Our perfect kitties. We have a little family that I simply adore. snuggle time in the morning completes me.
♥ I am so excited for the new baby Stone in our family! 7 more months until we get to meet him/her.
♥ I am so grateful for our little home! It's been ours for almost 5 years and we love it. Although we are busting at the seams and ready for a house-house, we have shared some of the best memories (THIS ONE FOR SURE!!!) and we love everything about our case de B's.
♥ I am grateful for all of my amazing Blicious readers. You all inspire me every day with your kind words, amazing blogs, pictures and the sweetest comments. I am so thankful for all of you!
♥ I am thankful for my job and the opportunities it has given me. I may have 100 complaints about the day to day but I get to work with some amazing people who have become great friends and I have been blessed to have a solid job for the past four years. I was promoted recently and have been able to travel to places I probably would never go to. It's a love/hate relationship but I am truly thankful.
♥ I am thankful for freshly washed bed sheets. There is something about the smell, the feel that makes me screech like a little kid.
♥ I am so grateful to dance! Dancing makes me forget about the bad and to live in that moment. I love to dance and love who I am when I'm dancing.
♥ I am so thankful we finally got our marriage license! Can't wait to change everything so I am officially Mrs Scarpelli!
♥ Cheesecake. I am thankful for cheesecake.

and so...much...more....

I hope you all had a very happy thanksgiving! Cheers to a long weekend with our loved ones!

We are getting ready for our FRIENDSGIVING tomorrow! We are cooking our first turkey ever together!! wish us luck! :)

P.S.
fun fact for the day---Brandon and I got our MARRIAGE LICENSE!! Officially Mrs Scarpelli!!! EEEEEEE!

our Vow ♥

vow/vaʊ/
1.a solemn promise, pledge, or personal commitment: marriage vows; a vow of secrecy. 2.a solemn promise made to a deity or saint committing oneself to an act, service, or condition.
3.a solemn or earnest declaration.

One of the most important things Brandon and I wanted to do for our ceremony was write our own wedding vows. This was something we always talked about and we did just that. I shared with you the sweetest gift Brandon sent me the day of our wedding here. I found it difficult to write my vows because I couldn't keep them short. I wanted to tell Brandon everything I felt, everything he meant to me, everything I loved about him. But we would have been there for weeks. I was nervous. Were my words ok? Would he love them? Then IT hit me...I started to just write on a small piece of paper and I loved the result. I couldn't read them without tears running down my face and I knew they were perfect. Perfect for us.

Brandon and I always tell each other "Love you till the end". always. This is our saying (and the couple's from P.S. I love you). The song from the Pogues is beautiful. It's our saying. and...the most special part about our vows is how we both ended them. When I said it, he started crying and i knew...I knew he would end his the same way and he did. That feeling was magical! and that feeling was the reason I wanted to write our own vows. ♥

What do you guys think about writing your own vows? It's hard if you're emotional. I said his name and started crying. HA!


hope you're all having a great week!

LA Unbound

Last Saturday we were asked by Dancescape to perform a routine we did in the last LA Unbound show in June. We did this dance (go to 1:15). I loved hanging with the girls and laughing as we HURRAYY'd.

LA Unbound is performing the Nutcracker Unbound in Dec. I will not be in the show but encourage all you lovely LA peeps to go see this amazing show! It's at the Wilshire Ebell Theatre and I will be there showing love to the dancers! You can buy your tickets here or support our dancers on kickstarter. ♥

smile, cry, laugh, sigh

Happy list for a Happy Tuesday ♥
Here are a few things that make me smile, cry, laugh and sigh..
[smile] *staring at my husband when he has no idea. I love that man more than anything and I.simply.can.not.get.enough.
[smile] *practicing my new signature with my new last name. It still looks like scribble scrabble but I will get there.
[smile, cry, laugh and sigh] * listening to Rascal Flatts anything. anything. I can smile, live it up the way a single girl does
But what he, what he don't know Is how hard it is to make it look so Eeeeeeeeeeaaaaasy
[smile] *a hot cup of coffee. the smell, the taste..i love me some coffee.
[laugh] *running in the rain. i don't know why but i giggle like a kid at Disneyland. I love the rain, the smell, the cold. love!
[sigh] * shopping online, adding everything in to my shopping cart and dreaming about what it would be like to check out.
[smile, cry] *reading Kristian's blog has affected me more than I can explain. I've become a huge fan (slightly obsessed) of his and I am heartbroken. He is a fighter and I admire his strength. Cancer is terrifying and I'm sure we have all been affected by it one way or another. Most of you know how it hit close to home in my family and although it ripped us apart in a very negative way...I admire this Father's strength. (I will not go in to detail about the relationship I no longer have with my father on my blog. I hope you all understand). Kristian's children and his wife are everything to him. He is fighting for them. He is still their father. It makes me jealous in a way. Why do some people let their illness rip the family apart? I can't imagine what it is like to be dealt that deck of cards. i cant. and i can't speak on any one's behalf..but Kristian is a hero in my book. His family is so lucky to have him. To have him fight for them. He has inspired me and I will continue to pray for him and his precious family.


I hope you all have a happy Tuesday! spread the love and make sure to tell your friends and family you love them.

pc-here & here


I woke up this morning and it was rainy out. FINALLY! I love love love the rain. and I'm really excited for the sun to go away for a bit..call me cray cray but I am. I slept like a baby last night and did not want to get out of bed. (husband is home) :)

So with that said my hair is up in a messy bun. I look like I just rolled out of bed which led me to looking up amazing hair pics. and being jealous. again..cray cray.

I so wish I had a thick head of yummy curls!

I hope you all have a glamorous weekend!

our Halloween post

so...If you're a Blicious reader, clearly my favorite day is Halloween. or shall I say my favorite weekend is Halloween weekend! ♥ I love dressing up!

Brandon and I went as bride and groom trolls! Everyone got a good laugh and I enjoyed being a bride again. I wish I could get married every year...to the same guy of course.

Friday night-we had a party at our place and reminisced about the most amazing.proposal.ever. ♥
I got to wear my wedding accessories (earrings, dance shoes, garter, a similar bouquet..) and B wore everything but his bow tie. he's so handsome. Even with that ridiculous wig on..










Saturday night we went to a surprise bday/ Halloween party and then went to a party at my friend Dana's. unfortunately we drank way.too.much. on Friday night and I felt awful all day sat. all.day. but we still had a fun night! :)





Sunday B and I relaxed, went to Super car Sunday (it's a car show thingy and I agreed to go only if I could wear a tutu. yay me!) I'm thinking Tutu Sunday will be a thing now. yep, it will be. done thinking...
We cleaned our house, watched the Cowboys lose (ughhhh) and carved pumpkins!!! one of my favorite things to do!










I'm IN LOVE with our pumpkins! ♥

Monday-aside from work...B went to Vegas for work (boo.) and Tracy, my parents and I went to WeHo for the parade!! Can I just say it's amazing down there. To people watch, to get creeped out and to get a good laugh! So fun! I went as a raver/ Juilliard drop out/ crack head/ OMG she has pink hair girl. After the parade we went to a bar in Sherman Oaks and saw our ghostbuster friend Brett. The other "B" in our lives.. ;) well actually his car outside the bar was the reason we stopped. It was such a great Halloween weekend. So easy, breezy, funsies...



best.costume.ever!!!!!!!! i ♥ Modern Family.

my parentals. :)






Hope you all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
