Weekend Recap!!

I love 3 day weekends! I need to find a career where I only work four days a week. This weekend was pretty busy. Friday night Jared and I had date night. We went all out and treated ourselves to Taco Bell. Don't Judge...we're purchasing our first home next month so we're saving every penny. Afterwards we went and hung out with our friends Julie and Brad. Jared hadn't seen her bulldog, Buckley yet so we stopped and said HI. I couldn't get over how big Buckley had gotten! Julie is running the Nashville Half Marathon with me in April. Here's a pic of Buckley...


Saturday Julie and I ran about 2.5 miles. That night we went to our friend Zach's housewarming party. He just recently purchased his home and it was lots of fun to hang out with everyone and see his house. I must say for a guy his house was decorated wonderfully. (Is that a word?) But I wouldn't expect any less from him!

Sunday we went to Jared's parents house and hung out. We hooked up the VCR and watched old home videos. Jared and Ashley were HILARIOUS!!!! Let's just say Ashlee was a priss pot with a capital "P" and Jared loved some whitey tighties! haha

Today Jared and I met one of my friends Kayce for Lunch at Jason's Deli..YUMMY!!! We were all fortunate to have the day off of work. After lunch we headed over to our new house to measure rooms and decide what to paint. Picking out paint colors is TORTURE!!! I'm so glad Kayce is good at decorating. Now were just getting ready for the short work week. Hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. Now it's time to get back to the grind!

Going to the Chapel....

and McKenleigh’s getting MARRIED! I’m so excited my Lil Sis in Alpha Gam is getting married September 25, 2010 and I’m going to be a bridesmaid! I couldn’t be happier for her. She’s been waiting for this day for 7 years. Her ring isn’t too shabby either! Last night was when she asked us all to be bridesmaids. We all went to dinner at Old Venice. It was so good! Right before we ate she gave us all bags and instructed us to open the “present“ first and then the card. The “present” ended up being 1980’s prom dress they were hilarious. Then in the card she asked us to be Bridesmaids. It was so sweet and so funny!! Did I mention I’m really excited? I can’t wait for all the planning!

On another note, we signed a contract on the Condo! If the appraisal and inspection go well we should close the end of February. I’m so ready to be out of the apartment. We recently got new neighbors above us and they are so loud! It’s not fun at all.

So I’ve decided that my Goals for this year are:
*TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF MYSELF
*TRY AND BE THE BEST WIFE POSSIBLE
*SPEND MORE TIME WITH GOD

Now that they are written down maybe I will stick to them better. My big goal for taking better care of myself is running the Nashville Half Marathon April 25, 2010. I’ve always loved to run so I’m thinking this won’t be too hard. Who knows!

Offer Accepted!!!!

They accepted our offer!!! Now we have to put earnest money down and sign the contract. On to appraisals and home inspections. I can't wait to move in!

I'm a Big Kid Now...

Holy Moly, we're putting an offer down on a condo today. Hopefully they'll accept and we'll purchase our first house together! This is so nerve wracking! I'll keep everyone posted on any new information.
Also, I've downloaded pics form Christmas so those should be posted later on tonight.
Everyone keep your fingers crossed we get the house!!

Good Morning Sunshine!

I still can't believe it but I was at Starbucks at 7:15 this morning! If you know me you know that I'm not a morning person. I get to work at nine and usually on the weekends sleep til ten or eleven if I have nothing to do! So you might be wondering why the heck were you up that early well....My little Sis was in town and I had to visit!!
McKenleigh moved to St. Louis awhile back so when she's in town I always like to get together and catch up. Talking on the phone isn't as fun as cracking up laughing face to face! There are definitely some interesting characters at Starbucks early in the morning, right Mac?? I love catching up with here it always seems like we never left off! We've had our ups and downs like any friendship but I think that's what keeps it going strong. She cracks me up because she tells it like it is and I love her for that. We definitely balance each other out!

I can't believe Christmas is 3 days away. I'm still shopping for people. This year since Jared and I are trying to save for a house we decided we would just get everyone something small and not get each other anything. Therefore I have procrastinated. Luckily I know what I'm getting everyone I just need to actually go out and purchase the items!

Also, today is my Cousin Andrew's Birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDREW!!! We Love YOU!!! He's in the Air force and is stationed in Minot, ND. So when he comes in town it's a big deal! I'm so glad we'll all get to celebrate Christmas together!

Make-up Help

So, I'm stuck in a rut. I think I have used the same Clinique pressed powder since High School. Now that I'm getting older I think I need something with a little more coverage.
I've also stopped tanning so I want something that will brighten my face and prevent it from looking dull. I'm definitely not one to pick out my own colors or products. I usually do best with someone else picking it out. Does anyone have any suggestions of products or somewhere to go? I've heard good things about Merle Norman???

Also, what do y'all use for cleaning your face and moisturizer? I've been using Oil of Olay Regenerist but I need something to minimize my pores. Any help would be appreciated!!!
