Thursday Love

Thursdays are one of the best days of the week for me. I know it is crazy because it’s not even the weekend yet, but I look forward to my Thursday nights with my girls.

Every Thursday evening my sister, momma, and I have a date night and it usually ends up in tears from laughing so hard and an empty wallet because we tend to enjoy shopping a little a lot.

Maria (sister)

Mom

We have been doing this “date” night for almost a year now and it is absolutely therapy for me. We see each other often, but we never run out of things to say and we always have so much fun together.

The night usually ends up with my sister and I laughing at my Mom because she is so innocently funny that it is just too cute for words.

Ok Thursday let’s get moving…I have things to do and people to see.

XOXO

Closing Time

You know how they say there comes a point in the day when you no longer feel like working….is it bad that I hit that point at 9:00 AM? I think the worst part about this is that after I hit that point I had 2 meetings and a conference call. Opps!

I think tonight might consist of working out with the girls, some much needed pool time, and a little Bachelorette that I DVR’d  and maybe definitely some wine….ok 4:30 anytime now!

XOXO

Toasty Tuesday

Literally it is like 95 degrees and humid as all get out. Where is the switch for cooler weather? Because this girl’s hair just can’t handle it….Frizz Ease isn’t even working today!

Just a side note…the subject of this entry reminded me of my college days and our daily excuse for going out….we had Mad Manic Monday, Toasted Tuesday, Wasted Wednesday, Thirsty Thursday, Freaky Friday and Saturday we just drank because duh! It was the weekend. I think if I even tried to stay up now past midnight 10--I would die (not even kidding).

This weekend was so relaxing (we desperately needed it-we are always on the go) We literally just hung out by the pool, went to a cook out and did a little shopping. Andrew finished his summer semester with a 4.0 so as promised he could pick out whatever he wanted for his hard work (Best. Wife. Ever.) But seriously I do not even know how he does it…he had Calculus and Physics in one summer session of 6 weeks (talk about intense) I am just so proud of him and his hard work…Good Job Babe!

Leaving today with a picture of my baby love after our 2 hour walk on Sunday…poor baby didn’t move for 4 hours.

XOXO

Day Dreamer

I can not seem to stop daydreaming today. So much on my mind…usually I am a pretty positive person, but today is just one of those days.

Some reasons for my constant mind wander:

-My husband has been unemployed for over a year and so far he has not been able to find anything even remotely close to what he was making before. One plus to this situation is that he is back in school and working towards his bachelors degree and the military is paying 100% (thank the lord for the Marine Corps)

-My job is not at all where I want to be. Don’t get me wrong….I love the company I work for…I just don’t feel like I am using my mind to it’s full potential and I just keep getting busier and busier at work, but it still feels sometimes mindless and I know it’s a good job…just want more for myself (Dear company, This girl wants upper management....let’s get moving on this. Sincerely, Your Over Achieving Employee)

-The day before my husband lost his job we looked at houses and we were so ready to put a bid on one. (Slap in the face) I am so ready for my own home…so tired of renting.

-I love my baby sister to pieces…but I feel like she is making a bad decision right now regarding a boy (ugh!) and I am trying so hard to put my faith in her that she is making the right one because she is so smart…but it’s annoying that I have to keep telling myself that I need to step back. I wish I didn’t over analyze every little thing and just trust her. She is so beautiful and sweet and I just want the world for her. Damn boys!

-Do I want to go back to school? I have been playing with this concept for months now. MBA? No MBA? Is this even going to help me in my future career plans? Can I even imagine going back to school after graduating 5 years ago? (5 years…omg!!! Why am I getting so old? lol!)

So I keep telling myself that God has a plan for everything and I am a true believer in that….so when does this plan start? (time, exact location, who is there? what am I wearing?) because I tend to be a little bit full on control freak.

XOXO

Hump Day!

This would be my first day back to reality after a wonderful 4 day weekend! It was so nonstop with parties...I actually lost my voice...blah!


So we had a blast this weekend...to sum up the weekend...it was cookouts, cocktails, friends, familyFireworks, pool, and sooo many laughs. I don't think I went to so many parties since college (we are lame since we got married...need to work on this)


Anyways here are just a few pics I took this weekend with my cute little blackberry.

This is Merrill (our friend visiting) and I at fireworks on Sunday night

Husband and I at the fireworks

Andrew with his pimp cane and Merrill (cuties)

Hope you all had a great holiday weekend!
XOXO

Thank God It's Friday!

It is finally FRIDAY!!!! and I can not wait to start the weekend! The whole week has been pretty crazy and Andrew's friend from the high school is coming for the entire weekend so we are pretty excited. Her husband is currently overseas and we are just so excited to see her and catch up.

Side note--Andrew met Gregg (her husband) in basic training (yes Andrew was is part of the Marines) and continued to be best friends...they were stationed together in California and North Carolina...Andrew actually played match maker and now they are married....they are such a cute couple.

I am leaving today with a picture of my incredibly hot husband...who poor thing has to clean all day because I am working :(



XOXO!

Blah Blah Blah

Ok so I haven't posted in months because I have been super busy (lie) avoiding the blogging world because I am just still a little unsure of this whole thing. I loved blogging in college...but am I too old for this now?
So after reading like a million blogs...because I am totally addicted...I decided that I am just crazy and I have missed out on 3 months of good blog time.


Thank the Lord it is Thursday...I am so ready for Friday and the upcoming long weekend :)


We have a crazy busy weekend ahead of us...which I will tell you all about in a later post..but in the mean time...what are your plans for the July 4th weekend?


Soooo I clearly need to get back to work because I am just sitting with papers everywhere and I should probably finish up my report....I am waaay too pretty for this (I tell my husband this every morning, but for some reason he does not agree)


Have a great safe 4th!


XOXOXO
