Nashville FUN

Hi hi!! 

Just got home from Nashy a few hours ago. First of all, I l o v e d more than anything being around the three ladies I went with. I loved getting to know them a little more.

Faith is honestly the sweetest person I have ever met. I am beyond beyond beyonnnnnd grateful to have her as a boss. Can't even believe sometimes that God, once again, has put the perfect people in my path. Blows my mind. 

Dawn, who is also a sweetie is HILARIOUS. She's reminds me a whole lot of my Meme and let me just say that in itself is a gigantor compliment. I loved hearing about her daughters and their love stories. haha! 

Mattie is seriously a GEM. We are so much alike its kind of creepy.  She loves fashion and Jesus.

and honestly....what more do you need in life? Just kidding! We really do have very very similar lifestyles and beliefs and I can just tell she is such a light to people.

I absolutely loved every second of getting to know these ladies.

We had a lot of fun shopping in Nashville. oh, except for that moment in Victoria's Secret when it was eight million degrees with eight million people throwing underwear everywhere because it was 75% off. We went to some great stores. For some reason though I didn't have too much luck. I bought one top from F21 {wearing above}, a new makeup bag, and a nice new adorable tea pot and fresh Strawberry & Peach Champagne Tea from Teavana. 

The regret of the shopping trip was not buying this top from Free People. 

I W A N T....seriously? what was I thinking? Ah clearly I wasn't. 

Mattie got the most perfect pieces from FP. They looked adorable on her. unfortunately I didn't snag a picture. Maybe when she wears it, she can send me one to show! SO PERFECT!

We not only shopped well, we ate well. We went to Brick Tops on the way in to Nashville. We had dinner at the Cheesecake Factory {and shopped while we waited, SCORE!} This morning we went to The Pfunky Griddle which was really a fun place to people watch! haha.

Calling this weekend a wrap feeling insanely blessed and grateful.

I sure hope you are feeling the same. 

If not, sending love your way.

Bye for now,

2013 favorite memories

Its on this day every single year that I realize HOLY SCHIKEY I had an amazingly BLESSED year!!! Its also on this day every year that I am super thankful for all of the photos I snap over the year. I've made so many memories during 2013 and all of my photos make my heart incredibly happy to look at. 

Walking out of work yesterday, we were joking around about the year. We all made the comment that 2013 was definitely NOT our favorite year of our lives. It wasn't. It hasn't. and now its over with. Just quickly thinking about 2013 I'm immediately B L A H about it. I feel like I didnt accomplish anything. I didnt help anyone. I didnt do anything for the good. I didn't move forward in anything I just was STUCK the whole year it seems. Until just recently. Thank GOD he has the big picture of my life and knows what is ahead. That's EXACTLY why I trust him with everything. However after looking back through my pictures I quickly realized that I obviously take things for granted. I've had an absolutely i n c r e d i b l e year.

I had trip after trip after trip, Florida, Charlotte, Atlanta, Nashville, etc. 

God put me in a church that has changed my entire view on people and life as a whole, 

I got settled into my own little place here, 

 God gave me a brand new group of friends that mean more to me than anything,

 I got to spend a good amount of time with J. Not as much as  I would love, but ill gladly take whatever time with him I can get.

My BEST FRIEND got flipping ENGAGED. 

I was MAID OF HONOR for my two best friends at the SAME TIME. whoaaaa!

Print Love

Hi There!!!

I've been browsing through a bunch of prints.

Different very very different types of prints.

But my favorites list has been piling up f a s t, So I figured I would share a few of them with you!

Thats SIX of a whole-freaking-lot of prints.

I love keeping a collection of things like this so I can refer back to them if I ever need anything for inspiration. Also, looking over different styles and types of prints is a really great way for me to merge styles together and come up with something unique and fresh.

I LOVE it.

We've made it to Wednesday and CHRISTMAS is exactly ONE SINGLE WEEK away!

Fun times ahead my friends.

OH p.s. I have Bham friends coming into town Friday night. I am pretty ecstatic about it. 

There will be fun photos while they are here.

Late nights.

I got to hang with my bestie tonight!

It was our Workout Group Christmas Dinner. GOSH I just love those ladies so much. They are so much fun. 

Last night Justin & I drove to Birmingham to see The Wild Feathers play at a Christmas Acoustic show. Ummm YEAH freaking f u n f u n f u n night! We had a blast!!

It was a really late night so now I'm about to pass out. I've been fighting my eyelids since I got off of work. Sad I know. 

I can't believe tomorrow is Friday! That makes me incredibly excited!!

Tootles.

A Freaking BLESSED Weekend

Saturday was one of the most FUN and RELAXING Saturdays I've had in a while. I loved every decimal of a second of it. 

I spent the entire day with people that mean a whole lot to me and make my days so happy.

My parents were in town for the day but had to rush home to take care of my sweet bubba who had been hit by the disgusting tummy bug. Poor Bubba. So after they left I got dressed and went to Rivertown to sip on coffee, warm up from the FREEZING weather, catch up on emails that had piled up over the busy week, and plan ahead for this week! Justin joined me a little bit after I had been there. We chatted. Talked about cool brands and some other things. Then we hit up the Panera since RT was out of those delicious Bran muffins that I love so much. 

Then....it was FOOTBALL time. Justin is from Springfield, Missouri soooo naturally he is a Mizzou fan. Sad enough for him, his team lost and the AU tigers won. Weagle Weagle ;)

This is one of the greatest souls I know. Just saying.

After the game...and a few nerf wars between The guys Shay and Emi, we decided to give a new Pizza Place in DT Florence a Try. The Pie Factory. The food was good and the place was a Great atmosphere, BUT I think there were a few things they should have perfected before opening. But overall it was a great place! Lets hope they work out all of the new business kinks soon so it will stay super cool. 

Had a blast spending time with these ladies. They are gems. Don't think they know how much I love that they are in my life. 

Paul & Will were there too...I just didn't creep any pictures of them. So sorry guys. Just know I love you none the less. <3

This afternoon I got to spend time with my new boss, Faith. She and I went to Sugarplum Marketplace. She did some Christmas Shopping and I walked out with a little Jar of Pepper Jelly! YUM. It was the only thing I think I couldnt live without.

This weekend was SO needed and I loved it so much. I have the greatest friends anyone could hope for. I do NOT take their friendship for granted. I am super thankful for each one of them. 

P.S. I got Some WONDERFUL photos from Frannie Mae & Brentys Coulpes shower...that was totally a big extravagant AWESOME party. The best party ever! So fun. Love you sweet couple!!!  I will post photos tomorrow.

I am ending the day with a little bit of Panther Football. Lets GO Panthers!

Bye now
