Life is Newsom-rific!

We're married! We said our "I do's" on October 24 and we have been blissfully happy ever since.

After our wedding, we took an amazing honeymoon cruise through the Caribbean visiting Jamaica, Grand Cayman, and Cozumel.

Now we're back in New York and getting into our daily routine. I'm excited about getting back to the blog after a well deserved break. I've been cooking up a storm the last few weeks so starting tomorrow, I'll be posting some new recipes from the Newsom kitchen.

Going to the chapel...

I will be taking a short break from My Cass-a-rific Blog for the next week or so while I have the wedding of my dreams with the man of my dreams. After the wedding, we will be taking a 7 night cruise through the Caribbean. We're so excited and will surely need some R&R after all the hard work that has been put into our wedding.

Check back in early November for pics from the honeymoon!

Until then...Peace to the Blogosphere!

My Super Sweet Shower with the Church Ladies

The day after the Bachelorette Party, I was given a bridal shower by the ladies of my church in Baytown. It was beautiful! They had the table decorated with a chocolate brown cloth and a centerpiece of peach roses, limes, and crystals...all to match the wedding colors. It was so thoughtful and sweet and absolutely perfect!

My Absolutely Fabulous Bachelorette Party!

I recently returned to New York after a fantastic visit to Texas. While I was there, my bridesmaids and friends joined with Lizzie's bridesmaids and friends to give us a joint Bachelorette Party which was probably one of the most fun nights of my life!
The two brides-to-be, Lizzie and Cassie, and also the maids of honor for each other.

Dresses!

Lizzie and I tried on dresses yesterday. I found a few bridal gowns that I liked and also some bride's maids dresses. I think Lizzie looks so cute here!
