Miscellany Monday



I celebrated St. Patty's Day in style with my Chicago tee.  :)



LK and I had a date day/night. 
She had lots of fun trying on hats in Barnes and Noble. 
This girl has plenty of personality to share.



After eating lunch and shopping, we stopped by the dam for some fun in the sun.
One of my favorite places.





Next up, day date with Halle.
First up...facials.





Then some play time with Coral, manis, and a movie.





We ended the afternoon with some trampoline fun at Airwalk and Five Guys...thanks to the best boyfriend ever. 
Both his idea and his treat.  :)





Play date with LK and the little sis.
We had some fun while mommy took baby brother to the doctor.
We watched Cinderella and Tangled, and still had some time to take a walk, play in the backyard, and go flower picking.



Best boyfriend award goes to Justin....he treated me to a facial, massage, and a foot scrub for Spring Break.
As if 9 days off wasn't enough.  :)



Trip to Columbus to visit Justin's fam.
We took a trip to the Wild Animal Safari....very cool!





Putt Putt!



And what trip would be complete without some car games.
We played MASH and the Alphabet game.



Justin had a driving buddy while I enjoyed a major pinterest session.

Happy Monday lovelies.

If today is your first day back from Spring Break, remember that it's almost summer.

Only 43 days left of school!

Miscellany Monday

Hello lovelies!!  It's "Mon" day.  This weekend flew by and I am so incredibly behind with blogging.  I guess I was kind of in a rut for a few days.  Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm back, I think.

Let's get started shall we

Linking up with Lowercase Letters...

{Mini me}

Saturday night, I went to my brother and S-I-L's house for dinner and to visit.  They have 3 kiddos...Halle, Carter, and Cooper.  As soon as I walked in, Cooper (3) screams "Awesome"...guess he was excited to see me.  Carter sees me every day considering he is in kindergarten and I teach on the kindergarten hall.  Seeing me is old news for him, but Halle was as excited as Cooper to see me.

We had a mini girl's night until I had to leave for my night out...I painted her nails, taught her the 2 step zumba dance, and gave her a makeover.  I love this girl!

She wanted her nails to look like mine...I tried the whole accent nail thing.Love it!{Storm Shelter}So Friday night, we were supposed to get some really bad weather.  Since I'm house/dog sitting, I was obviously home alone with my dog and my sister's dog.  My older sister and her husband and kids live 10 minutes away and have a basement/living room area that is almost completely underground so she conviced me to load up the dogs and come spend the night with them since the weather was supposed to last well into the middle of the night.  Fortunately, the tornadoes missed us and we had a family fun night playing lots of games and spending time together.  My little brother also lives with them so we had a house full. Any excuse to play games all night is ok with me.  We played BS (which we renamed noodles for the kids sake---not having to explain what bs stands for), Spoons, and Clue.  We had so much fun.I also watched Lion King, not once, but twice with my nieces (LK-3 and Blakely-1).  Lion King is one of my all time faves and I love that my nieces are watching old school Disney movies!While I'm on the topic, my sister Jennifer (Lk and Blakely's mom) is 12 weeks pregnant and is having some health concerns.  Her doctors are considering putting her on a heart medicine that could affect the baby. Please keep her and the baby in your prayers.  We really want her to be able to do without the meds, but we don't know what to expect next time she goes for her checkup.  {Movies}I watched these 2 movies this weekend, In Tme for the second time.Both are AMAZING and I highly recommend both.Both will also make you cry so beware. 

{Smell the Roses}

Think about a goal you've been wanting to meet. What's keeping you from going after that goal? Time to conquer it!

My goal for the past few weeks were to go to the gym at least 4 times a week...I was only going like 2 and then doing odd and end things at home.  Well friends, this week I made an effort to get to the gym at least 4 times....and I did it!

Tuesday, I started looking at gyms around that offered a class that I might like to take and found out that Gold's Gym offered a free week trial.  I signed up and worked out for 2 hours Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday and 1 hour on Wednesday.  I would've made it on Friday too had it not been for the bad weather coming, but I'm so super stoked that I did 4 days.

This is my first time linking up with Finding Beauty in the Ordinary...

Happy Monday friendsies!

Make today ridiculously amazing!

Wednesday Loves

I am linking up with Little Daisy May for What I'm Loving Wednesday...hurry and join in the fun!

{Halloween}

I'm loving the DIY clown costume that me and my sister put together in 15 minutes.

 I'm loving Coral's ballerina costume...

 And I'm loving these precious little sweets...

Colin stayed home this year and helped mommy and daddy pass out candy.

 Me and the nieces and nephews getting ready to trick or treat.

L to R:  Pirate Carter, Zebra Princess Blakely, Pippy Longstocking Halle, Optimus Price Cooper, Zebra Princess Londyn Kate, and Clown Steph

 I haven't actually trick or treated in years.  Usually my friends and I throw a big Halloween party, but we didn't this year so I was able to spend it with the kiddos.  I love them!

{BFF Reunion}

I'm loving, loving, loving that this weekend will be a college roommate reunion.  Shelbs, on the right, is coming from Chicago to visit.  We are spending Saturday tailgating in Tuscaloosa for the Bama LSU game and I am so excited.  I haven't been to Tuscaloosa since the first game so I am so ready!

 I'm also loving that I will get to see lots of other long lost friends in Tuscaloosa this weekend.

{New Girl}

I'm loving that last night was a new New Girl...I love it!!

{Car}

I'm loving that I should have my car by the end of the week....3 weeks without a car is long enough for me!

I'm also linking up with the Vintage Apple for Oh How Pinteresting Wednesday...

All of my friends know all about this one..

Happy Wednesday lovies...2 more days until the weekend.

What I'm loving Wednesday

So my job in the Bahamas is done and I'm home bound in the next couple of weeks although I'm super sad and will miss these guys tremendously I'm so happy to be going home.

With that said, here is what I'm loving today...

{ONE}

I'm loving that if my sis holds off until her due date or even until the 1st of August, that I will hopefully be home for Colin's entry into the world!!! I'm also loving that I'll be home for some of Kim's maternity leave...we have sister time to catch up on.

{TWO}

On the same note, I'm just loving that I'll be with my entire family again and close to most of my friends... I can't wait for family nights and girls nights with my bff's!!

I especially can't wait to love on all of my babies whenever I feel like it!!

{THREE}

I'm loving that I might be taking this little guy home with me.

{FOUR}

I'm loving that I've talked with some of my awesome previous employers and they are happy to put me to work until I find a new job!! I can't wait to see the kids that I've taken care of in the past.

{FIVE}

I'm loving that my time left in Harbour Island is vacation for me...I'm enjoying sleeping in and hanging out with my friends. I had drinks with a couple of my girlfriends last night at Valentines and this is the sunset we got to experience.

Absolutely gorgeous!!!

Happy Wednesday lovies!!!
