Meet...Mr. Lew Party of Two

I have seen some other blog friends (thanks Katie for the idea!) do a little husband interview. They are always so fun and very entertaining to read. When I mentioned this idea to Rob, aka Mr. Lew Party Two, he was all on board! We had a lot of fun doing this and had some really great laughs.

So friends, meet Roberto, my better half...


The clean-shaven side and the grizzly...


Me: Help these readers get to know you. How would you describe yourself in 3 words?
R: Tall, Large, Big.
Me: Great words??
R: Laughs.

B: What is the name of my blog? And do you read it?
R: Lew Party of Two and heck ya I read it.

Me: What do I usually write about?
R: Things that you want.
Me: ha ha.
R: No seriously, you write about our travels together and our adventures. Jesus and how thankful you are, and most of all you write about family...

Me: Now let's have a little fun...what are jeggings?
R: uhhhhh...jean leggings. Leggings that look like jeans! That was easy.
Me: Very impressive.
R: We've talked about jeggings before. We should both wear them. How awesome would that be for any gender? Jeans that fit comfortable like sweatpants. I'm just saying you have got to extend your market.
Me: Oh my word.

Me: What is a TV show you love? One that your embarrassed to admit?
R: That I am embarrassed to admit? One Tree Hill? Can you think of one?
Me: Many.
R: Oh man...Vanderpump Rules.

Me: Who is your favorite housewife?
R: Mmmm...Lisa! Only cause she is on Vanderpump Rules. I couldn't name another one. Who is the lady that Lisa doesn't like? Chloe maybe?
Me: Ha ha no. There is a lot. Brandy?
R: Yeah!
Me: Do you like her?
R: If Lisa doesn't like her than I don't like her...
 
Me: Who is Kendra Scott?
R: She's jewelry people!

Me:What are spanx?
R: They are the things that uhhhh...I wore with my Halloween costume.
Me: What??
R: The one when I dressed up as a cheerleader...
Me: Those were bloomers...laughs and more laughs. Any other guesses?
R: Are they things you wear underneath your skirt??
Me: There ya go.

Me:What is the best place for women to shop?
R: Anywhere. It just depends on the woman.

Me: Where is my favorite place to shop?
R: Oh dang...Gap? Dillards? Places like that.

Me: Pretty good. What do I usually buy there?
R: It depends on the season. For travel and summer...long summer dresses. The winter...coats and sweaters. You like a good sweater. You always look at shoes too.

Me: Let's switch gears a little. What is your idea of the perfect date night?
R: I loovee going to see movies. Well, start off with appetizers somewhere (cause we both love appetizers), then dinner at a different place (I would want to hop around from place to place, cause that just sounds like fun), then to a movie and go to the concession stand as often as I want...
Me: So plenty of food?
R: Yep. 

Me: What do I do while you are at practice?
R: Uhhh...you want me to tell people the truth.
Me: haha yes?
R: Well, usually you workout, do your devotional, clean a little bit. And you are always watching your shows...

Me:What's an acceptable amount to spend on a makeup item?
R: I would say none, $0.
Me: You crazy. 
R: In reality...$5-$15.
Me: You crazy.
R: I have no idea what the going rate of mascara is right now!

Me:Anything else you would like to share?
R: ummm, how immensely proud of you I am for doing your blog and how beautiful your voice is on it.
Me: Aw, your so sweet.
R: I know.

And there ya have it, folks! Mr. Lew Party of Two! He keeps me laughing every day...

5 Favorite Pictures of 2014

Happy New Year, friends! 2014 was such a good one and I am ready to see what 2015 has in store!

Earlier this week I recapped our year- a look back at what 2014 was all about {check it out here and here}. And today, I want to share a little more! As if  haven't shared enough pictures already.

I originally titled this my top 5 favorite pictures of 2014...but then I had wayy more favorites than I realized. It was so hard to choose! So, here are just 5 of my favorite pictures from this past year...ones that bring a huge smile to my face! Warning: it's a little sappy...just roll with it :)

O N E
This picture was taken at the end of our time in Germany last year. It brings back so many sweet memories of such a sweet time. Nuremberg, Germany was really our first home as a married couple and it was so good to us. This picture speaks of the beauty of Nuremberg and the beauty of our first year of marriage...a time if our lives we will never forget.


T W O
In May, Roberto and I went on an Italian Adventure. And oh man, we can not say enough wonderful things about those 2 weeks. It really was the best. Really every picture from that trip is my favorite, but this one in particular is a special one. It was taken on our first day of the trip in Venice {possibly our favorite stop}. I  remember taking this picture being in such awe. 



T H R E E
Family is something that is so incredibly special to me, something that I truly cherish. This picture brings the biggest smile to my face, love these faces so incredibly much.


F O U R
This man. I just really love him and this picture of him. He really is the greatest.


F I V E
I'll end with a picture that was taken just last week. Roberto and I had a blast playing in the snow together and this picture pretty much sums up how I feel about him...I simply adore him.


Happy, Happy New Year!! Here is to a great 2015!

Also- Currently I am in London and leave for Paris tomorrow! This weeks posts have been prepared ahead of time, but I am checking my email, so please continue to comment with any suggestions or must do's! Thanks for all the advice so far!!

Our 2014 {Part II)

Happy New Year, friends! I hope you welcomed this new year in with loved one and lots of fun!

Yesterday, I shared what our January through July looked like last year. It was very busy and very wonderful. I have such a fun time recapping our year, it is a neat way to remember and reflect and it fills me with such joy!

Now let's take a look at the rest of 2014...

August
This month was full of fun and also really bittersweet. We celebrated Roberto, my brother and my sister's birthdays..


We went to Breckenridge with Rob's family and had the most adventurous and best time.

We celebrated Jocie at her bridal shower and bachelorette party in Austin.


We spent a lot of time with my little brother and sister...it is time we love and cherish so, so much.

And we said our tearful goodbyes to this hunk as he left for Poland, our new home.

September
This was a busy month and a month full of weddings! And a month of missing my husband...


He was working and practicing hard in Poland, preparing for the season! I was able to enjoy my cousin's wedding with a lot of family and it was such a sweet time...



I got to hangout with these goobs a lot and man I seriously love it.

Then we celebrated our best friend getting married!!


 And had the greatest time. The husband continued to work his booty off for the first game of the season!


October
This month we celebrated more birthdays, enjoyed fall with pumpkin painting and the corn maize and snuggled lots of sweet babies.


 I had the best time traveling to Colorado with my mama and Gigi to meet the newest member of the family...sweet baby Norah.


The basketball season got started in Poland...


And back home we enjoyed watching Rob's brother Pat play football and lots of sweet family time.


Once again, sad goodbyes and happy hello's. Hello Poland! So glad to be reunited with my man.

November
I started to get settled here at our new home in Poland, we painted our apartment a little, waited at the bus stop a lot {which we are now total pros at}, celebrated Thanksgiving with friends and decorated for Christmas!


Look at that babe! He played and I watched lots of basketball this month.

 And we traveled to Warsaw, Poland! Our first travel adventure here and we had such a wonderful time. Fall was in full bloom and it was gorgeous.





December
This month was a glorious one. We made a weekend trip to Krakow and it was just plain wonderful, Roberto played his heart out, we had a wonderful Christmas Date night and we celebrated Christmas together at home...pure bliss.



 


And on the 26th it snowed, so of course we played in it.

I am so grateful for 2014 and the sweet year that it was.Was it perfect? Of course not but it was wonderful. I thank God for this year, all the joy that it was filled with and all the loved ones it was spent with. I am so thankful for a God who loves unconditionally and for my joy that comes from Him.

2015 has a lot in store for the Lews, I feel like it will be a year of growth and change and lots of fun. Here we go!
