Weekend Recap!

Hello lovely friends!

I FINALLY got my photo-uploader problems worked out, so I'm back! I've sat down several times in the last week to post, but kept getting frustrated because my pictures weren't loading correctly...thank goodness it's all good now. I've got life to document!

This last weekend was pretty low-key which is just what I needed. We kicked off Friday night at a local Mexican food place with some of our favorite people!

Chips, salsa, margaritas & lots of laughs....doesn't get much better than that!

*****

Saturday was spent shopping and lunching with the girls...of course! That's how I spend most of my Saturdays, and I love it.

We had a wedding to go to that evening. One of Rob's good friends from high school got married, and we were happy to be able to celebrate with them!

I really love this guy.

The wedding was beautiful! The reception was at the same venue as ours, so it brought back lots of happy memories! I cannot believe we'll already be married THREE years this summer.

Cookie bar...Rob & Will were loving this!

We got to catch up with friends we haven't seen in awhile, so that was a lot of fun, of course!

Rob & Stormey...long time friends!

Congratulations Gerad & Stormey! We are so happy for y'all!! :)

*****

On Sunday we did our usual church, lunch and hanging out with family routine, which I LOVE. We went to watch the Oscar's with Jerrod & Julie that night, but we all got pretty bored with that and decided to try out the new frozen yogurt place in town. Oh my. That place could get me into some serious trouble.

Must. Stay. Away.

Happy March, y'all! I hope you're enjoying some sunshine wherever you are :)

thoughts for thursday...

First of all, Blogger is giving me a lot of grief today, so this will not be my prettiest post ever...please forgive.

And moving on...I love Jennifer Aniston. Always have, always will. According to her hair and the Today show (my primary source for health and beauty tips...and news for that matter) the "shag" is back in. This brings me great joy because I HATE blow-drying my hair! Especially in the summertime. Unfortunately, my hair is kinda crazy, so my shag is more of a frizzy wave, but whatever. It's getting longer, so maybe it'll look cuter the longer it gets! :)



Have y'all ever used Mario Badescu skin care products? I picked up this drying lotion the other day, and it's wonderful! Literally dries those nasty spots up over-night...or maybe over two nights! I also got a gentle exfoliate, and I'm loving it too! Even better, it's almond and honey scented...mmm.



Good news - I'm finally back on the work-out wagon! I've been going to a step-aerobics type class with my mom, and I'm loving it! I love having someone to go with because it keeps me accountable. I'm planning on mixing in some Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred in the near future...ouch. Wish me luck...homegirl is TOUGH.



BUT I gotta keep with it because swimsuit season is quickly approaching! I certainly don't want to be a blubber booty if we happen to go on vacation...




Ahhh, a girl can DREAM...



Hopefully Blogger will go back to normal soon, so I can post some pictures and recipes I've been wanting to share.

All images via Google Images; I couldn't insert a hyper-link either...shocking.



Happy Thursday!!!

Remember when it was Valentine's Day...

Last weekend, my mom & her bestie decided to host a Valentine party for some of their favorite couples...AKA their kids & their spouses!

We were told to dress up & get ready for some fun! So that's exactly what we did.

KB & Nicole even came to celebrate :)

My sweet parents...you like my dad's tux/t-shirt combo? Classic!

We started with a little "cocktail hour"...

And an appetizer of chocolate covered strawberries...what Valentine party is complete without those? None, I tell you.

Mom & Lisa decorated everything so sweetly for us love-birds. Here's the "parents" table...

And the "kids" table...

The besties even doubled as our servers! Natalie was a server too, but she was way too busy socializing with her favorite Valentines for pictures!

We were only missing one couple...Austin & Connie. The night would have been perfect if they could have been there, but Galveston isn't exactly a quick weekend trip away from Abilene. Especially when you're in Med School...apparently they keep those MD's-in-training pretty busy!

The dinner was DELISH, but the company was even better! A BIG "thank you" to the Lisas for making us feel special & loved every day of the year! We are blessed beyond measure to have such wonderful parents!

Rob & I don't really go all out for Valentine's Day anymore, so we kept things low key this year & just had an in-house date. I made my (our) favorite salad...

Spring lettuce mix, goat cheese, dried cranberries & candied pecans.

We also had homemade gluten free lasagna...

YUMMY!

Rob was sweet & brought me roses, we exchanged cards & topped the night off with a movie! It definitely wasn't extravagant or anything, but I wouldn't have it any other way. There's nothing I enjoy more than just simply spending time with the one I love!
