High Five for Friday (3.15.2013)

Its been quite the week - a good one for sure... let's hop to it and get to the things worth High Fiving about with Lauren

 

1. My brother sent this to me on Monday... if you have ever met Layla Bean you would know this is her to a T. & she calms down 10 minutes later.... I die. I love this & Boogs little personality.

 

 

 

2. Speaking of Layla Bean.. we have been letting her stay out of her crate all week & she has been so good! J&I laugh when we get home because she is always in the same spot... makes you wonder what she does all day! Party it up until she hears the garage door open.. that gets my vote.

 

3. The Texas weather has been beautiful! My favorite part about spring is when the tulips bloom all over Addison - no picture because that would mean I was using a camera and driving which would be a big fat no no!

 

4. J&I took advantage of the spring-like weather and enjoyed a little patio action this week for HH. A definite favorite to the spring season for me!

 

 

5. I finally got my hair done this week! & at the same time got to spend time with my momma

 

 

 Off to Raleigh in the morning - jealous of all you peeps that will be celebrating the Luck o' the Irish!

 

 

 

Weekend Nonsense

This weekend was much needed after last week & we took advantage of every moment!

 

Friday's plans changed, but we did some errands and spent time together (attempting to get my house back in order post Christmas... dont judge)

 

Saturday we had a lazy/relaxing day & then headed out to see my bestie, Heather's, new man play a gig at a local bar.

 

We had such a great time (a little too good of a time for me)

 

He thinks he is so funny... what he doesnt realize is that I will publicly humiliate him :)

Love this girl

Pardon my awkward pose... i was told to "get down"... this was the result... yeeesh

 

Sunday, although moving slowly, we had my parents and grandparents over for dins to celebrate my Mom's birthday.

 

 

 

So funny when people tell me we look alike - I'll take it - she's kinda cute, I guess :)

 

Have a fab week!

     

High Five for Friday (3.8.13)

Oh man... there has been a serious countdown for today. && you can bet your money that you can find me being lay-zeeeee in bed.

 

It was a rough week, but I think thats why it was important for me to write today's post - finding the good within the crazy week!

 

Linking up with Lauren as usual!

 

1. We knocked out one of my 30 before 30 items

 

 

2. I learned many, many new things about Audio/Visual this week... many! & I am thankful for the new knowledge and the experience

 

 

3. This picture made.my.day this week. My sweet Jolie... I needed it.

 

 

4. My hubs cheered me up with a surprise from Tiff's Treats - me and the girls enjoyed! 

 

 

5. I loved coming home and snuggling with this sweet babe last night - it was perfection

 

 

 

HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my Momma!

 

 

So happy for the weekend - I am going to relax, relax, relax! I hope you all enjoy your weekend too!!

        bad!
I have decided I will try many new fruits and veggies over the year... 1 was far too easy!

Not on the list - Indoor Skydiving. But I have promised one of my besties that I will go with her.. super looking forward to it, even though it terrifies me!
