Ready for the Weekend.

It was so hard to get out of bed today. 

It was cold and I was snuggling Bailey.

Atleast tomorrow I can stay in bed a tad bit longer

Dear Dinner in the Crockpot, I'm so looking forward to you. There is really a sense of accomplishment I feel when I prepare dinner and have it in the crockpot before running out the door for work. And, when I stroll in the house today at 4:30, it will smell a delicious smell of pulled pork.

Dear Budget, All these meals at home this week...and leftovers for lunch. Yeah, I am owning you this week. BOO-YAH. 

(do people still say that?)

Dear Wednesday Night TV, you are the highlight of my Week. Modern Family, Duck Dynasty, Nashville and the Challenge. I love everything about you. everything. Especially the fact that it's been two days and I'm STILL laughing over Modern Family and Duck Dynasty.

Dear November, you are quite the busy month but I'm excited. Weddings, Birthdays, Thanksgivings (yes, plural...we've got 3 this year!), and cooler weather. As long as you and my budget can get a long, we'll be besties. Just you remember that!

Dear 10 year HS reunion, dang you're coming up quick! Starting the basic planning with my lovely friend, 5ohWifey. In high school, I was never about being involved in these things. Not that I was too cool for SGA, that wasn't it all ALL. It's just that I was too busy finding ways to spend every waking second with my girlfriends, so much so that I quit Soccer just to have more friend time. Nearly 10 years later...I'm excited to be apart of the planning and the coordination. Who doesn't LOVE party planning. 

Class of 2003, what what! Dear Lee Brice, I didn't do a proper blogger weekend recap this past Monday. Your concert was awesome. You are awesome and I'm 90% sure that you were drunk the whole time. 10 points for you!

and Fireball, 10 points for you too, friend!

Happy Weekend!  

Country Music at it's finest

I just cannot get over how happy I was with the CMA's last night. I truly love everything about Country music and Country music singers. They embrace each other, praise each other and come together to support each other. Country music is good for my soul Here are a few of my favorite parts of the show.

one.  Carrie, Carrie, Carrie I mean... can she possibly get any more perfect? Her outfits were amazing. Each and every one of them! Her performance? to die for! The opening with Brad was hilarious and so fun! Her Gangnam style dance was a spot on. And, on top of all of this, Flo-Rida must have already taught her to whistle! There's is nothing this girl can't do.
My favorite outfits she wore last night were the sequin top/white skirt and the dramatic black dress. Stunning.
Which were yours?

two. Eric, Jason, and Luke
Words cannot express how happy this makes me. What a combo? The song was such a true-blue Country song, and the performance kicked booty. Speaking of booty, those tight pants? Yeah. I like those too.
Can you three please go on concert together?

three.
 Eric Church taking it home
Jason and I have been big fans of Eric for years. We've seen him in concert about 6 times.
Which is just enough time to know his signature chest thumping routine.
Eric has deserved this for a long time now. I even think Jason may have shed a few tears when he won.
How adorable was it when he mentioned his son, Boone McCoy?  Just adorable, and I loveee that name
on a side note: I'm loving Jake's future daughters name, Pearl.
Boone and Pearl could be the next...

four.  Blake and Miranda
I've decided, these two people are the more talented and extremely famous couple version of us. I just love them. I'm so glad they "swept" the awards and took home Song of the Year, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist and Entertainer of the year.
Someone's mantle runneth over.
Each award they won, they look more and more humbled by it.
 I don't think I could get over their lovey-doveyness when they won Song of the Year. It just melted my heart to pieces.
(where I cried)

five. and none for Gretchen Weiners Taylor Swift
Okay, so I'm going to sound a little "Mean girl" here. True country finally won out tonight. 'bout time.
I love Ms. Swift, but I think she is a little less country and a lot more pop.
As Brooke said the other day
I'm just more Miranda Lambert than Taylor Swift.


Did you watch? What were your favorite parts?

Wine, Relaxation and a lil' Country

Wine and Relaxation prettttty much sums up my lovely Weekend. After two weekends of acting like we were 21 year olds - Jason and I decided to take this weekend off. We pinky promised ourselves when we were hungover last Sunday to not go out this weekend. It worked :)

On Friday, we had dinner and a few beer-ritas at one of our Favorite Spots, Ruby Tuesdays. I know it sounds cheesy, but their Salad Bar is amazing! For that, we love it! Orlando is pretty much 80% chain restaurants, but this particular restaurant is one that we still really enjoy. 

After a few of these bad boys - we decided to rush across town to catch a movie.

Our movie plans quickly foiled because of these few things:

1. Stopped at a Gas Station to pick up wine for the movie (They didn't sell wine- WHHHHATTT)

2. Begged Jason to stop at another gas station and assured him that they would definitely have wine (They didn't - how is that possible??)

3. Got to the movie, 5 minutes late, only to find out the movie we wanted to see was sold out! :(

We felt defeated and decided to go home.

Saturday we woke up, and decided it was time for a little spring cleaning. This included bug bombing our house to fight the little critters that like to come in from rainy, muggy, and HOT Florida Summer. We grabbed Bailey and brought him to my mom's house. Headed to breakfast, went to see 21 Jumpstreet, and hit up HobLob for some Wedding Crafts. 

This is for our Card Box,  I just need a few Paper Mache boxes to be able to make a custom one. We were lucky enough to get caught in a rainstorn just as we were leaving HobLob. It didn't seem to rain on Bailey's parade....

Our Sunday was also nothing special, just a little family time and nice dinner at Outback. We finished off our weekend with the ACMs - did you get a chance to watch them?

First of all, Carrie Underwood is FLAWLESS. I was so glad that she opened the show. Just take a look at her

I'm so happy that Blake and Miranda won quite a bit of awards this show, they deserve it. And, how about Blake announcing her performance "Miranda Lambert Shelton" it just melted my heart. LOVE them.

and, HOW cool is Steve Martin..

My Dad has played the Banjo in a Bluegrass band ever since I was in Middle School. We had a few Earl Scruggs posters around our house, so the mini-tribute they gave him and this performance was really special to me. While I never particularly "liked" my Dad, I've always had a deep appreciation of Bluegrass music. It's something that always reminds me of my blissful childhood.

What did y'all think of the ACM's?

That's pretty much it for my Weekend! I'm ready for this upcoming 3-day Weekend 

They're Here!

My Engagement Pictures that is! Woohoo, I was so happy to open that little piece of mail yesterday. I promise I won't bore you with all 300 of them.

 Here are just a small dosage of my favorites:

I absolutely love how they turned out. They are exactly what I was hoping for. I spent about oh say, 3 hours last night trying to find my top 4 pictures for my Save the Dates

Let's get to the CMA's, shall we? 

Carrie had about 10 outfit changes and she looked beautiful in all of them. Can Forever21 just PLEASE come out with an affordable version of all of these? I would be forever grateful to you! These are my top three favorite outfits

There was just so much to love about the CMA's, they have an amazing amount of performances each year. The only thing I really didn't like was The Band Perry winning everything  Best New Artist, I think it definitely (with out a doubt) should of gone to Luke Bryan...

Which by the way check out this picture of Steph and I with Luke, It's the real deal! ;)
