Weekend Wrap-Up

Another busy weekend for this girl. Whew, I am so looking forward to not doing a thing this weekend! I can't complain though- it was a good one! Friday night was girls night.. which these days consist of dinner, drinks, and a movie. A bunch of girls were missing this time but we still had a great night. 
Ruby Relaxers, Blackberry Rum Runners, and Georgia Peach Martini's 
were consumed. 






We saw The Social Network. It was definitely one of my favorite movies that I've seen recently. 
A really good movie.. a must see.


Saturday Hub and I got up early to spend the day with his Grandma. She has been asking for us two to come down for awhile and we finally had a free day to do so. It was the most perfect, beautiful day. Honestly I don't think the weather could have been any better. We went out to a local restaurant in her area called Pirate's Cove. We sat outside, waterfront, over-looking The West River. Grandma and I started the meal off with Screwdrivers, then we all devoured some sort of crab dish! Crab Cake, Crab Imperial, Fried Shrimp and more. Delicious!

After lunch, Hub, Grandma, and I walked out onto the dock to snap a few photos for mementos. 






Grandma is one of the sweetest, kindest ladies you will ever meet.  
Below is a view front her front porch, amazing.
After lunch we sat there and chatted about anything and everything, from more serious topics to the show Teen Mom, which I was thoroughly surprised Grandma watches and could tell you everyones name, their child's name, and their situation! 
We watched as neighborhood kids played on her nearby playground and people sat out on the dock. Neighbors strolled along the waterfront, walking their dogs, exercising, riding mopeds. All taking in the day.
And as shade slowly took over the yard the herons danced across the water and the sailboats came in.
There were enough to nearly fill the entire horizon. A gorgeous view. 
It was such a wonderful day and I enjoyed every minute listening to Grandma's stories and spending time with her. I hope that we can do that again soon.

On Sunday my sister hosted a 'Thirty One' party. They specialize in personalized bags, purses, and totes. Though they also sell home accents and kids items. I had never heard of this them before but really liked their products and ended up getting a lunch tote in my choice of pattern and wording. They are very cute!

After leaving there I hurried home with a friend to meet up with our Hubs and watch the second half of the Redskin vs. Packers game. Ah, another nail-bitting end, but a Win is a Win!

In other news, I am hosting my first party soon; a Scentsy Party! I'm pretty excited about this :) If you're interested in Scentsy but need an consultant here is the web site to a good friend of mine who sells it! If you've never heard of Scentsy then I suggest you also click the link above! I really love what I have bought so far!

Roxy is Ready..

For Halloween! 
Are you?
Ha ha her lip looks funny in those two pictures, probably because she was constantly licking them trying to get the bribe treat :)
Today:
Although my parent's dog ripped my new necklace and I ripped the bottom of the hem on my pant leg getting out of my car...it has been a surprisingly good day! It was warm for the first time in a week and my coffee was extra delicious! (Doesn't that make your day?!) Also, take a look at my headband! I won a giveaway from Pastor's Girl's Ponderings blog! It has three hand sewed roses in white, teal, and tan on it. It is made by Hailey Rose, here's the link to her shop Brydferth! I got it in the mail today and I love it!!


In Other News:
Tomorrow is girls night! Dinner, drinks, possibly ice cream, and a movie (The Social Network) Yay! These are always great nights. Though I do miss my Hub. For some reason not seeing him during the week is getting to me again. I should be used to it- it has been this way for three years. Anyway, I won't be missing him anymore because starting Monday he will be on a new permanent shift where I will be able to see him for a couple hours at night! He did this shift temporarily a few weeks back and it was so nice. That's when I was doing those two new recipes a week plan- and sticking to it. When he switched back I lost my motivation and stopped. So, I will be picking that back up! And lastly, I found out that our shutters will be f i n a l l y be installed tomorrow! I'm excited to have the outside finished! It's making a huge difference!


Side Note:
I was given the opportunity to be a little creative and revamp a tale of three poags blog! I mess with my own blog quite a bit so I knew the basics but I did learn a lot. And I must say I'm pretty happy with how it turned out! So go check it out and let me know what you think! Credit also goes to Summertime Designs for her awesomely free scrapbook kits!

Football Sunday

In the Fall Sunday's are dedicated to a quick clean of the house, some laundry, dishes, cooking, and football. But mainly cooking & football. This past Sunday we had friends over for hot dogs off the grill, buffalo chicken dip, and Halloween decorated cookies. 


Lori & I also worked on getting my camera's motion settings right...
Poor Roxy was the test subject :)
We now have figured it out for the most part, I just need real situations to test in!
And we watched the Skins smash the Eagles! A big upset! 





Which makes the win even greater.


Ahh it's so nice to relax on Sundays and get a win!





Hoping the weekend gets here soon!
& welcome those from Tuesday hops
