Weekend Recap

Our weekend was (and please tell me we're not the only ones that have these) not restful, not rejuvenating, and busy!

It's Monday and it feels like a Wednesday I'm so exhausted.

le sigh.

Friday, Jackson got home and we ate dinner (stay tuned for delicious Breakfast Casserole recipe later this week).  We watched the Croods on Netflix; SUCH a cute movie!! I spent most of the night working on our wedding album so I can order it from Shutterfly! I am so addicted to their photo books it's not even funny.  But for the most part, I had the longest most exhausting Friday at work ever, so it was good to unwind.

 

Saturday, was my sweet little sister's birthday. We went to the movies and she chose to see Son of God.  Can we just take a second to talk about how intense that movie is? Wonderful, but intense.  Then we ate at our favorite Mexican restaurant for Lunch.


Sunday, Jackson woke up not feeling too hot, so he slept in and I went to church.  We met his mama and daddy for lunch, and then we went to the grocery and to return some stuff that we had buyers remorse about. haha. There was a baby shower at church Sunday, and I was overly excited about the adorable gift bag and card I got for baby Maddux. 

 

And of course, I couldn't help but snag a selfie with hubs:

 

 Here's to hoping everyone has a great week! I'm avoiding children because I couldn't find green today!

Erin Go Bragh!

 



High Five for Five on Friday!

I had a nightmare last night that we skipped the weekend and went from Thursday to Monday.

Needless to say, I'm so thankful for a Friday and a weekend!

 

High Five for Five on Friday!

;)

 

1.

Monday, I went to the DMV and got my new license with my new name.  Can we just talk about how much my face has changed since I was 18? Four years have not been kind to me! Anyway, it is so weird to see my license with my new last name on it. And believe it or not, it took me longer to get to the DMV than it did to wait in line!! And the lady was pleasant. All around win, if you ask me!

 

2.

Tuesday, I got to celebrate my sweet Boomer's Adoption Day. Yes, I'm that person and I'm not sorry. He came to us three years ago after a big big storm and we adopted him after I accidentally-on-purpose fed him and he wouldn't go away.  The top left picture shows what he looked like when he came to us.  He was matted, yucky, and timid.  We came to learn that he had been abused and neglected before he came to us.  His story is soon to come, I promise. :) 

 

3.

My sweet husband has been blessed to be able to go in to work early twice this week. Sure, he has to get up early early, but he is off work and home when I get there.  I loved spending afternoons with him this week.  I may have gotten a little too used to it, though, because knowing that today he's working until 7 just stinks.

 

4.

My sister and I went to see Sister Act at the Tennessee Performing Arts Center.  I wasn't really looking forward to it, but the play was GREAT! All of them had incredible voices and it was hilarious.  We had a great sister night until I twisted my ankle on my stupid wedges and bit the street with my knee. Owwie.  We're having a funeral for my favorite pair of dress pants later this week.

 I'm working on getting wedding picture prints ordered to frame and hang.  I can't wait to have them hanging in our home!! :)

 

 

Our Wedding: Father Daughter First Look

Happy Wedding Wednesday!!

We were not able to have our first dances as father and daughter and mother and son, so I knew I wanted to do something special for my dad.  I got the idea for a father daughter first look on Pinterest and knew that I had to have one! My dad has always been my best friend, so our time together was special for us.  He told me how much he loved me and gave me a special gift. 

The gift I received from my dad was this Precious Moments figurine.  It is special because he collects them and I have always admired his collection.  He started my own with this figurine called "You'll Always be Daddy's Little Girl"

Weekend Recap

I honestly woke up this morning and jumped right on the struggle bus. 

I don't understand why an hour one way (usually only forward) throws me so out of whack. 

I was fine getting up for church yesterday, but work today?

no thanks!

 

Our weekend was a lovely one, though.

 

Friday was a long day.  We took my car to the shop Thursday because there is a leak in the EVAP system somewhere. After a million tests, they found that my gas cap was leaky.... REALLY!? We picked it up, I was driving it home, and the check engine light came right back on.  I'm SO upset.  I stress over small tiny things, so this is killing me.

However, I did have time to update our chalkboard wall to something Irish-y (and pinspired) for St. Patrick's Day.

 

Saturday night, we went to see some of our littles in their school play, Beauty and the Beast.

They were Mrs. Potts and the Beast; they were AWESOME.

 

Sunday was a great, lazy day.  We had church, Bible study, and I went to the grocery.  Love the mister, but it took me half the time at the grocery without him.  I was gifted this awesome service called e-Meals. You pick a meal plan and it makes a meal and shopping list for the week for you! The one I picked is coordinated with what Kroger has on sale that week. How awesome!?

High Five for Friday!!

This week has been really hit or miss.  Some parts have been perfect and others have been BLEHHHH. 

1. 

I had Monday off work and went in late on Tuesday because of the ice craziness that hit Nashville. I'm not going to lie, I didn't mind.  I got a million chores done.  I bleached the tub, cleaned the toilet, cleaned the sink, swiffered the bathroom.  I vacuumed the living room, organized the cords, dusted, and cleared the clutter.  In the kitchen, I cleaned every appliance, cleaned out the fridge, and swiffered the hardwoods there. I did not, however, make it to the DMV to get my name changed on my license. 

2.

My free shoes from JustFab came in the mail!! They're so comfy and cute!! 

3.
Monday, while off work, I also monogrammed everything I could get my hands on.  Specifically, the sleeve of a sweater inspired by the following pin.  I also found my monogram magically appear on two pullovers, a tote bag, and dish towels.  Magic, right!?!

4.

I was the first one to hit my best friend's wedding registry!! I even got her spice rack on sale!! ;) Shh, don't tell her! I was also able to score a gift for a baby shower at church on sale, and this adorable set of onesies! I love love love Target days like this! 

5. 

Oh, and last but not least, look what the amazing Jana Tolman did to our blog!! How adorable is this design??! I seriously keep coming back to look at it. I love how wonderful she was to work with and how she truly brought my vision to life!! I had a vision and she took it and ran with it and made it beautiful!! Seriously, work with her! She's great! 

Our Wedding: Our First Look

I debated for months about having a first look.  I wanted to keep it a surprise, but I wanted to have our special moment.  I wanted to be able to focus on each other for two seconds because I knew the whole day would be a blur.  I am so glad I did.  We had Jackson turn his back to the back door of the church.  I came out and he turned around. Some of my favorite pictures are from our first look. :) 

Our Wedding: Girls Getting Ready

These are pictures from our wedding day of everyone getting ready! I truly had the most amazing bridesmaids. They were patient, loving, honest, patient, and I couldn't have picked more amazing women to stand by me.
