Friday Pins

Better a little late than never right? 
I had a really long week so I ended it with a girls night shopping trip followed by dinner, drinks and great conversation with a new friend!   Looking forward to a fun Halloween weekend with some of my favorite people!  Everyone have a great Saturday and weekend, be safe!

Here are my favorite pins of the week! 

I am so in love with the rustic look lately.  I want a wedding and home and life
that is themed "Rustic/Lush"  that is sooo me






And since Jeff is my hunny bee I love this bee kozy




I love this picture Idea!  So fun

This would be so fun, shows the true joy!

I am making these for dinner tonight!  YUMMM



Is it sad to say I have been having dreams about this color?
"All hail the Queen"  by Butter London.   




This is just too funny.  I love pinterest.



























Ciao for now!

Tuesday Outfit Post

Happy Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday, happy outfitting!

One of my favorite things about having my own place is making dinner! I love grocery shopping and talking to Jeff about what to have for dinner.  We make dinner every night and eat as a "family". I am really proud that we have yet to have a cereal or sandwich night.  We don't always make something elaborate or fancy, sometimes it is a mac n cheese with hot dogs or hamburger, but we do always take time to make something and sit at the dinner table to eat together and share stories from our day.

So I wanted to share what we ate last week.
If you guys have any suggestions on what to have for dinner I would love to hear them - so please feel free to comment.

MONDAY:  Grilled Italian Sausage and homemade buffalo chips!

TUESDAY: My special baked kicken-chicken, creamy chicken rice and green beans

WEDNESDAY: Turkey Taco Chili

THURSDAY: Brat patties and beef noodles

FRIDAY: Jeff's flank steak, mashed potatoes and corn 

Happy eating!

I will.

So I have mentioned a few times about my sheer laziness when it comes to going to the gym.  But I am bound and determined to get my lazy behind out of bed and just go.  It should be easy, Jeff gets up at 5:30 so I should get up too!  I WILL DO IT!

I will get up and go the gym

How do you motivate yourself to go the gym?  Apparently seeing the number on the scale creep up and my jeans becoming snug are not good enough for me. I need something better.

TGIF!!

Thank God it's Friday, right?
This week wasn't too terrible - just had a slow week at work and that is always a drag. I am really looking forward to the weekend...two days of not working!  I almost don't care what we do, I just could use a couple days off to not think about insurance, making calls or trying to sell.

I did a lot of pinning this week...and it was nice. So here are my favorite pins of the week!  Happy Friday my friends!

All I can say is...I am going to have the hardest time planning my wedding (whenever it happens)
I love ssooo many things about the world of weddings!


I love the style of this dress - it's elegant and classic
but you could FOR SURE bust a sweet move in it




The satin, the details, the tule...what is not to love here?









































I think my heart stopped when I saw this.
In love
























Such a great idea - first dance lyrics







































And moving away from the weddings....because it only makes my insides flutter with aniticipation for the day that is a long way off.....to something more relevant.


I NEED to do this.  I joined a gym that I can not unjoin for a YEAR!  So I need to
Stop being a lazy chub and get on it! 



Especially when you try to go at 6:00 AM! 



Sometimes I need to tell myself mean things like this.











































Do you dream of your wedding day?  And are you sometimes a lazy slug that refused to get up and go to the gym?  I thought a motivating factor would be that I pay $20 a month for the gym...but yeah, I could still care less.  I need to get into a better habit!

Happy Friday all.

Cheers.

iPhone!

YAY!! I finally begged my parents hard enough and got an iPhone!  I haven't even had it for a week yet, but I am obsessed with it.  And now I take tons of pictures, so my blog is going to be filled with pictures :) 

My pretty iPhone and my lovely purple case. 

So here are some pictures from my weekend I took on my phone! 

Jeff took me to Ritters, the custard flavors were dull so I opted for some Italian Ice! Mango and Strawberry! Yum!

My silly bunny LOVES to jump into the fireplace.  He's gonna have to cut that out here pretty soon! Crazy boy.

Friday night Jeff and I went to try out a bar by our house.  It was super relaxed and had great beer choices. But when 11:00 rolled around so did all the cougars.  These women came up to me and asked me to do the Cupid Shuffle with them.  It was hilarious, they were something else.

I have been a "fruit" beer kick.  Friday I had an Abita Purple Haze, raspberry flavored.  Abita is one of my favorite beers ever, so the Purple Haze is really good.  Then I switched to Sam Adams Cherry Wheat (Pictured).  And that was ssooo good! It was perfectly "beer" like with a sweet cherry finish.  MMmm!

And earlier this week I was volunteering for work and went out with some of the volunteers after and got a delicious blackberry beer.  See, told ya I was on a fruit kick! 

Do you guys have an iPhone...what apps do you recommend I download?  What is your favorite feature?  I am trying to get my mom to get one so we can "facetime" and play "words with friends" !

Happy Sunday!
GO COLTS!

Friday Pins!

Hair edition!

I have been thinking about doing bangs...
or like the side sweeping bangs...cant decide! 

LOVE this!  I wish I was better at braiding.

Such a pretty hairstyle! 

Well happy Friday my friends! 

YAY!!

After a little bit of digging and searching I found that my camera cord was indeed in my apartment and not at my parents house!  YAY!  That means I do have access to my pictures from this weekend!

Me and Jess

We had a mini photo shoot....it was a blast. 

Me and Jeff  <3

YAY!! ME after my riding my favorite roller coaster in the world!!  Diamondback...aka "snakebite"  

 So happy that I finally took a few pictures from a fun weekend, aren't ya'll proud of me?   I sure am!

What did you wear?

I'm back with my outfit post!

Shrug from The Loft.  I love this thing and could wear it everyday.  It looks great with everything and is super cozy, but light enough to wear on these 75 degree days.

My maxi dress you all have seen a million times, from NY&Co...duh! 

Happy Tuesday my friends!  

Weekend Recap!

Jeff and I had a great-ish weekend!

Saturday morning I had to work. :( But it really wasn't so bad; and afterall I only work one Saturday a month for a hand full of hours. I set up a State Farm booth at a family fun fair my aunt's company was hosting.  It was such a gorgeous day to be outside, I was thankful not to be in the office. I didn't do a whole lot of selling or promoting, I felt a little awkward...but it was nice to just sit in the sunshine, I even dragged Jeff out with me so I would have some company! 

Saturday night was a blast.  Jeff and I went to dinner with my cousin and his fabulous girlfriend, Jessica, who I loooove so much!  We had a great time all night, until Jeff and Matt managed to put themselves in the dog house by being stupid boys!  Overall though we had a great time playing games and drinking a tad too much....which brings us to the next part of the weekend.

Jeff and I had planned all week to go to Kings Island, only one of my favorite places on Earth!  It's an amusement park in Cincinnati.  With the weekend being so nice we decided it was probably our last chance to go this season.  Well Jeff's little drunk behind was sssooo hungover.  We were there for only a hand full of hours and only rode 5 rides before we had to go :(   I was bummed and semi pissed. 

But there is always next season....right? 

I wish I had to pictures to upload...because I DID TAKE SOME!  But did not have my memory card in my camera, so they are stuck on my camera...and my camera cord is at my parents house.  OOPS!  That's what I get for trying to take pictures right? 
So these are pics from a couple weekends ago! 

Jess and I...LOVE HER! She is seriously the best!

Flowers I got from Jeff.  I guess gorgeous flowers are always good to get a man out of the dog house.

On The Beast!  Only one of the best wooden roller coasters in the world!!

I hope you all had a great weekend too, and that none of your boyfriends got put in the dog house. But if they did, I hope they sent flowers like mine did!  Sometimes boys suck but sometimes they are really great.

Outfit post coming later!

TGIF.

Tuesday Outfit Post

Hey all - since I am back in full blogging action that means I'm back with a Tuesday outfit post.

With this outfit post comes a little coversation about the weather....I don't mind the fall, I really don't...but I hate the weather ups and downs.  If you know me you know that I am a summer girl.  I love the heat, the sunshine and the humidity; but I also throughoughly enjoy a brisk fall day.  What I hate is the bitter freezing cold of winter. YUCK.  So you would think Fall would be my favorite season...last Saturday it was brisk a cool day, but today it is 75 and sunny.  NO - I do not like that.  It confuses me and my wardrobe, what I make for dinner, how I wear my hair, what time I wake up, if I work out or not, everything!  I wish fall would be fall - end of story. 
Does anyone else feel like a weirdo for craving crockpot dinners and big cozy sweaters - but you end up wearing wearing a t-shirt and eating a sandwich?  Or am I the only weird one? Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for the nice days, I know they will soon be few and far between, I just don't like change.  My little heart can not handle a handful of gorgoeous days followed by yucky days! 

Anyways here are a few past outfits since my absence....

A date night outfit.  Jeff and I went out for a casual dinner at Margaritaville and out to the movies. 

I wore leggings, black boots to my knees, a long white tank, a plaid button up and a grey cardy.

Weird face - it was sunny okay?  This was one of those perfect fall days, it was a crisp 60ish degrees, the sun was shining and I wore a big cozy sweater, a super soft long sleeve T and my boots.  I love outfits like this! Perfect day at the zoo and a fun outfit! 

But here is my today outfit...woke up a little later than usual this morning and it's a weird weather day, so I am a little bland today. 

Ankle Pants from NY&CO

Tank from Gap 

Cardigan NY&Co

Belt is Michael Kors (form TJ Maxx..it was a steal! also seen above in my Zoo outfit)

Shoes from Bass

Happy Outfitting my friends!
