Cutest thing ever?

We all have our own judgements on what could possibly be the cutest thing ever.


I have two of them.


Okay, I know this isn't a recent picture of my niece, actually it's like 4 years old, but HOW ADORABLE WAS SHE? I seriously had the cutest niece and nephew when they were babies/toddlers.

You can't even look at this next picture and not go "aww.." This was a good 8 years ago? Can't believe Gums is 11 now!

Anywho. If you haven't figured it out, i'm kind of obsessed with these two kiddos.

Another Confession

I haven't had my hair cut in about.. oh.. 10 months to a year? Just hearing that makes me feel disguisting. My hair is usually really soft and shiny, that is if I keep up with it. The past couple of months my hair has been shedding like crazy, breaking off at the ends, and just looking a hot mess. I decided it was time for a trim.

Kind of like this^^^^^

I told Nichole, who did my hair (and she did a great job, THANKS NICHOLE :)) to just cut off all the dead ends. Well, apparently, I had about 3 inches of dead hair. So, not so much of a "trim"

Yep, Gross.

Anyways, my hair feels new and looks great and I have been running my hand through my hair going, "It feels so good!"


HA!

There is a lesson to be learned here: Don't wait that long before a haircut.

Confessions

So, I have a tiny confession to make.


I've already ranted on here about my love for Real Housewives of New Jersey (RHONJ), but I don't think I've put in my two cents about my OBSESSION with Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The cool thing about that show is I actually have a link to Kim and Kyle - well way more Kim than Kyle. Should I confess that? We'll get to that later.

Anywho - the dramz on this show keeps me at the edge of my seat and I am especially liking that they are throwing in this hooker -

Straight Dramz.  LOVE IT. This is the lady that got left by that guy that is super fine to be with Leanne Rimes. So, she's already pissed off about life and is now being straight caddy to the other girls. 


I guess I have no girl drama in my life, so I like to watch women over the age of 40 prance around in heels that cost more than my car and jab jealous comments in each others faces. Whatevs. Judge if you want.


Okay, if you don't know already, because it's my ONLY claim to fame and I'm sure I tell everyone - is that my 2nd cousin is Kim's oldest daughter Brooke - so my mom and her dad are 1st cousins which means my Mimi and her Grandma were sisters. Get it? SO at one point and time in my life - Kim was my cousin-in-law? I don't think I've ever met Brooke, maybe when I was little, so no I don't go fly out to see her and parade around Bev Hillz with Brooke and Paris, but I'm not saying I'd turn down the offer. 


Well, I'm off to watch more trash T.V. 'cause I love it!

Vacation

This past weekend we went to Holden Beach in North Carolina. My whole entire family on my mom's side came and we had a blast.

Talk about relaxation - that's all I did. I also got very very sunburnt. Who knew you could get toasted in Octobert in 80 degree PERFECT weather? Lesson learned. I hurt from head to toe! Oh well, at least I get a bit of color before the fall kicks in for good.

There was a lot of swimming and laying by the pool/beach. There was plenty of eating and maybe a bit of throwing back on the blue margs.

 What up heated pool.

Our pretty sweet beach house that had to house over 20 of us! 

 Paw paw and my niece and nephew picking up some shells

 Me and my sweet girl. Love her. 

 Beautiful sunset.

Could they be anymore precious? I'm so glad my niece and nephew love Phil so much. (They've been secretly calling him Uncle Phil for a while now!)

Off to the BEACH

After work today, I'll be heading to the beach. FIRST TIME THIS YEAR.

I am so excited to spend time with my family down at the beach and I get a whole DAY off. I don't get a whole lot of time off for my job, so when I do - It's amazing.

The drive is a good 5 1/2 hours, so we'll be spending the majority of the evening in the car after work. YUCK.

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend and I'll update with pictures when we get back!

Saying Yes to the Dress

Wedding dress shopping in itself is exhausting. The first couple of places we went to I tried on the dresses and I just liked them, or "really liked them" but I never fell in love. I'm an indecisive person, so I felt like this was going to be a common denominator while trying on my dresses.


The last place on our list to go was absolutely wonderful. I did my dress shopping in Charlotte and Greensboro and out of all the places I went, this boutique blew the rest out of the water. 

Nitsa's in Charlotte was OUTSTANDING. I seriously can't go on about how awesome they were to me. I found my PERFECT dress and I fell in love with it. I always thought girls were being dramatic when they said how emotional it is. Boy, were they right. My consultant Naomi was absolute perfection. I cannot go on about how amazing my experience was. 


I'm just glad that's out of the way, now 500 million other things to do.
