Accutane: Before and After

Well as some of you may know I am currently taking a lovely perscription called Accutane. Some of you may have or may not have heard of it but Accutane is a highly sensitive acne medication that is highly government regulated due to some of the side effects that the medication causes. This is currently my second round of taking this since my skin has been so bad. Here are some of my lovely before pictures.

and after 4 months of taking this 3 times a day EVERYDAY and some labs here and there, here are my after pictures..

I am so glad that my skin has FINALLY cleared up! It is always such a challenge to go and hang out with my gorgeous friends who don't have to wear make up everyday and I have cake on the concealer everywhere but now finally I can go without makeup and still feel pretty.

I encourage anyone who is on the fence about trying it to go ahead and do so!

XOXO

Daley Halloween Party

Well this weekend we had our second and final Halloween party for 2012. I mixed it up a little with my outift choice because the temperatures this weekend were going to be a bit too cold for just some leggings and a sheer top, so I borrowed parts of a hippie costume and got to be comfty and warm :)

and of course Brandon was Luigi which was adorable again and everyone loved it!

Here are some more of the best pictures from the night.

My ADORABLE husband :)

We had a wonderful weekend and cannot wait to see the trick-or-treaters on Wednesday :)

Until the next time

Fulmer Halloween Party

Last weekend Brandon and I had the privilege of having a very busy yet fun filled Saturday. After taking care of the jeep Friday night we got up bright and early and had breakfast with my parents at one of my favorite places, Kelley's, in Pearland. Then we loaded up and headed to Waller for my mom's high school friend, Cami Scarmado's cancer benefit. It was a huge success with so many wonderful people donating their time and auction items to raise money for Cami during this time in her life.

After the benefit we made the long trek back to Pearland and Brandon took the jeep for an inspection while I got ready for our first Halloween party for the year!!

My bestie Bri Kamke invited us to her parents Halloween party down in San Leon this year. So naturally we had to come up with some costumes since you have to come dressed up. Well it worked out perfectly because Bri and I coordinated our costumes and so did her husband Nick and Brandon.

Brandon and Nick decided to be Mario and Luigi from the Super Mario Brothers and Bri and I decided we wanted to be comfortable yet cute so we went with the ever popular "kitty cat" look without being too slutty and as you can see they came our SUPER cute!! We had so much fun meeting new people and also seeing some of the other interesting costumes people made and came as!! One girl and her husband came as Katy Perry and Russell Brand and she even made the entire dress!! It was too cute!!

But none so cute as our boys..

and our course their lovely wives..

Until the next time.

XOXO,

Jennifer

Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Hayford

Just as I promised we got to go back to Indiana for the wedding in August, and when I finally got to start my countdown it got very very exciting!!

 We drove this time so Brandon and I had a lot of fun on the 15 hour drive for sure. From plotting our drive..

to watching Brandon use my zebra print travel pillow while on my pink Macbook

However, once we got there it was all about family and getting ready for the wedding! The first night we stayed with his grandparents in Hatifeld, IN and then we drove back to Louisvile the next morning to get checked into our hotel as well as get ready for the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner. Brandon was a groomsmen in the wedding so I did a lot of standing around and being the type A kind of person I am I was trying to give some of my own two sense :)

Brandon, Melanie and I are the Rehearsal

Then it was off to Bardstown Road for the Rehearsal dinner and finally some time to talk to the future Bride and Groom :)

The Groom and I

The Bride Hannah, Me and Brandon

Brandon and the Groom Nick

The two married groups of Hayfords :)

and of course I had to take a picture with one of the best men Logan

And then it was WEDDING TIME!!!

Nick and Hannah got married at a beautiful conservancy in Kentucky and it was the perfect backdrop for them to start their lives together.

and to top it all off- I had the hottest date there

and then once again before we knew it it was time to head home back to Texas and the road trip was just as fun as the first :)

But nothing feels better than seeing that Highway 59 road sign

XOXO

We're Going on a Road Trip!

This year Brandon and I were blessed enough to travel to Indiana to visit our family for the next Hayford wedding!! Usually we only get a chance to go around Thanksgiving, however, this year we are going 3 times! It is so nice to get out of Texas for a bit and visit somewhere else and what a better reason to get away than to welcome another Mrs. Hayford ino the fold!

We first went in July right after our wedding anniversary and celebrate their joint Bachelor and Bachelorette parties in the beautiful Louisville, Kentucky.

The lovely bride to be Hannah and myself.

The first night the ladies got all dressed up and headed to downtown Louisville to the Easton Corbin concert and some bar hopping :) We definitely had a little too much fun during that night but it made it all worth while to see how much fun Hannah was having. We even had some fun with the boys (without their knowledge hehehe)

The next day we ventured back into Louisville to go with Hannah to her dress fitting. We were a little early so that other girls and myself decided to put the only single girl left (even thought she got engaged shortly there after!!) in a few wedding dresses of our choosing while we waited. Then it was time for Hannah to try on her dress and let me tell you when she walked out I cried!! She was so beautiful!!

After the dress fitting we did a little shopping around and then headed back to the hotel for some drinks and to get ready for our group date with the boys that evening. We went to a really yummy BBQ place on Bardstown Road,

and then bowling and that is always an experience with the Hayford boys because they are so competive but we all had so much fun.

Then on Sunday it was time to go home :( but not to fret we got to go back in only a few weeks!!!

XOXO

Our One Year Anniversary

This year on July 9th, Brandon and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. Scary to admit but time flew by! I never really realized it was going so fast until I blinked and it was time to celebrate. Thankfully for me, I have an amazing husband who had a few surprises for me throughout the day.

It started with him having BEAUTIFUL roses delivered to me while I was at work. Which in turn made all the ladies I work with jealous.

Then when I came home he had a bottle of wine waiting for me while I got cleaned up and waited on him to get home so we could go to dinner for our anniversary, so I chose to take out my Bride cup to keep with the theme of the day.

and once he came home he took me to a lovely dinner at Perry's in Friendswood since I had never been and we actually had a gift card left over from Christmas. Dinner was amazing and the company was even better. I am so thankful to the day to have him in my life and for better or worse I think we belong together.

Until the next time,

Jennifer

24 Years Young

Well before I knew it I was turning 24. Not really sure when that happened or that I was very happy about it but then again I can't go down in age, so I decided to attempt to embrace it. Luckily for me I have a WONDERFUL bestie who took care of me the whole week!! That's right a week of presents :)

Day One was a lovely snack of full throttle and Jelly Beans!

Day Two- was an amazingly fatty breakfast :)

Day Three: Yummy Suckers!

Day Four: A mock copy of my truck

Day Five got a little crazy!! I got a lot of presents that day :)

Then on Saturday we followed up with a party at our house :)

We had so many people come by and so many fun and yummy shots off the shot block

However we figured out that stars were not a good thing to do again

Bestie Shots!!

And of course no birthday is complete without a cake!

And finally we topped off the Birthday week with an Aaron Watson concert at Big Texas!

All in All it was one of my best birthdays ever :) Can't wait to see what 25 might be like!!

Our Wedding Day: 07.09.11: Part Four

Well once we were headed to the church it was all down hill from there. We were welcomed in straight away and went into our first dance.

and Brandon ended it very smoothly

and then since our pictures took a little longer than anticipated we went straight into serving dinner and of course Brandon had to be first in line! But our food was SO GOOD!! We did BBQ from Gabby's and it was probably one of the best meals we've ever had.



Our first meal as Husband and Wife!!

Once dinner was done it was time for all of the other traditional events starting with the father-daughter and mother-son dances

and then there was mooooore dancing

then it was time to cut the BEST CAKES EVER!

then came the grooms cake

and Brandon just loved trying to "saw" down the trees on his cake- therefore the face :)

Then it was time to toss the boquet!

and then it was time for the garter toss

and even squeezed in some family pictures before it was time to go

and before we knew it, it was time for us to depart for our "Nightmoon"

By far this was one of the best nights of my life. Everything was so perfect and I got to marry my best friend and start my own happily ever after.

XOXO

Jennifer
