God gave me you.

I'm not a big Blake Shelton fan, i've always thought his songs were cheesy and just didn't seem right. I ADORE THIS SONG. How precious? 

I'm sorry for the lake of post - it's been busy around here. 

"Baby wears a white dress like a goddess."

This song makes me wanna dance. Picture me, underwear on with a wooden spoon dancing around the kitchen while cleaning dishes - that was me last night. 


I love how they say "birthday dress" instead of "birthday suit". Never thought of it that way? Will now!

The Fish Dress

Raleigh was a blast! (Should I expect anything else?) Coop got this super cute fish dress that I think is darlin'. Figured I'd share.

I also have some pretty banging hair in this picture, my secret is that I actually brushed it right before this picture. 

That cute girl in the middle is Jenn, we were the three musketeers that night with a bunch of guys that were trying to convince us to go to the strip club. That didn't happen.

I'd put up a picture of phil and I, but we made sure to take some super awkward pictures because that's what happens when we drink.

I did wake up to this the next morning:

Boys making me breakfast and a damn good one at that. 

Happy Monday!

"And I'm hopin' for Raleigh.."

In just a few short hours, I will be on an interstate journey - joy! I-85 is the worst. Seriously, just build a couple more lanes around Concord and we won't have a problem anymore!!

We'll be taking an alternate route through the hometown to drop off the pups at "grandmas". Since both Phil and I grew up in the same neighborhood, we are fortunate enough that both of our parents still live there, so it's super easy to drop the pups off at either/or. We'll possibly stay the night since driving 4 1/2 hours isn't our forte, and then take that extra hour or so to Raleigh the next morning.

Today is a great day in my office for it is "BTs" last day. I'd love to explain who BT is, but I don't really feel like wasting my breath on him. Let's just say he is a poor young lost soul. He has been the biggest pain in my butt since he started in April and I'm so glad he's leaving (Isn't that terrible??). Obvs, it isn't going to sunshine at the office everyday, but MUCH better.

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend :) 

Habits

Nobody said that it was easy to switch to healthy foods. I find myself craving cheese fries in the middle of the day, and all I can do is stuff my face with greek yogurt.

It's not a habit yet, but once it is - it will be SO much easier. I can do this, I can do this. They say 21 - 30 days makes a habit. So, this may be the hardest thing I've yet to do. Which means this weekend when I go out of town, I can't just stuff my face with lots of greasy nastiness (I will make an exception for hangovers), I have to say, "No thanks, I'll order a salad."

Once I make this a habit, I feel that having a "cheat" day will be okay. I don't think a cheat day is appropriate while forming a habit.

Am I wrong?

Weekend Plans

So, this weekend I am planning to head to good ol' Raleigh, NC. I am SUPER stoked since Phil and I haven't been in forever. He went to college at NC State, so this is his old stomping grounds, anddd half of our graduating class from high school went there, so Raleigh was always a fun place for me to go visit.

It's also one of our closest friend Matt's birthday, (which I may have mentioned before) he also grew up in the same neighborhood as Phil and I, so we've all had some pretty fun (and interesting) memories growing up. 

I also get to see my Coop-a-loop (which is never a good thing when we get together!)

This should be a pretty fun weekend :) Wish it were Friday and NOT Wednesday!!

New Start!

I put myself on a constant workout and a new eating plan. I've been pretty impressed with my last 24 hours until I woke up this morning 30 minutes before i'm suppose to be at work (and I work 15 minutes away). I didn't really have a choice but to stop and grab breakfast, and I could have grabbed something a bit healthier than I did but WHATEVER. GAH.

Today is the beginning of the rest of my life, right? Anyways, it's not exactly a work out plan, more of a "I want to become a runner" plan.

Phil and I will also be joining a gym this week since ours decided to up and close one day. We've been weary of signing another year contract since we just got screwed out of ours, but it doesn't look like we really have a choice. So, we've been visiting and asking tons of questions and really trying to get a feel of all the gyms around us.

This past weekend I went to Charlotte to visit my friend Maggie. She's a big girl and just bought her first condo, so she wanted to show it off. It's super close to downtown and it's absolutely adorable! It is within walking distance to a handful of bars andddd a nice little strip club! (HA!) We made it to the bars, but decided to skip out on the strip club. I would have pictures if I knew where my camera was. Maybe Maggie will be a doll and put up the pictures she took

I've decided I am going to look into buying a new one. I've been searching for that dang thing for 4 months and I seriously can't find it ANY-WHERE! I'd like to get a nice Nikon, but we shall see. Phil says I don't need a big fancy camera, but it's not "our" money until April of next year, so it's still MY money. Looks like he doesn't really have a say until then. :)

Have a fabulous week ya'll!
