samples, samples, samples

My Birch Box invite finally came! About a month ago I heard about this great thing where you pay a small fee each month and a box of high end beauty samples shows up at your door. So of course I had to sign up! What could be better than recieving new products on a monthly basis? I went to the site, entered my email, and waited for my invite to come. Now I'm a member, and I can't wait to get my first box! Hopefully it'll come any day now! To get in on this goodness go here.

One Year

When it comes to anniversaries of things I tend to get pretty excited- one week since this, one month since that, one year since those and so on. I just love to celebrate. Well today is one of those days. One year ago today Derek and I went on our first date! I wasn't the girl who normally got nervous for dates, but for that one I was. I spent all day looking up the menu at the restaurant we were going to just so that I wouldn't stumble when it came time to ordering. (That could also be because we were getting sushi and it was only my second time ever eating that so I was pretty intimidated!) Derek spent all day cleaning his truck, making sure it looked perfect. To make a long story short that night was the best first date I had ever been on! And look at us now- Mr. and Mrs.! Here's to a great first year together.

Sam I Am + D

After 4 months of marriage (I can't believe it's already been that long!) and over a year of blogging absence it's about time that Sam I Am has a new look that reflects my new life. Welcome to S&D!

I can't think of a better way to begin this new chapter than with some exciting news. Today our wedding is being featured on Style Me Pretty!! It's a dream come true! SMP helped inspire many aspects for my own wedding, so it's such a honor that the ultimate wedding blog selected our special day to be shared with others. Thanks SMP and thanks to everyone that made our day so special!
