Birthday Celebrations

I have been the most blessed girl in the whole world...I had a birthday week!  We were out for Spring Break last week, so I had a whole week prior to my birthday to celebrate (since my actual b-day is today - a MONDAY! :( ).  This past weeks celebrations were filled with lots of this...

• YoCakes from Chill
• Dinner at Meritage and Dessert at Chill
• Lunch at Mexican with Raspberry filled cake
• Talk with family
• Talk about anything, nothing, and life in general
• Reading...lots of Diane Mott Davidson
• Snuggling with the Porter-Pug
• Lunch w/ Hubby
• SHOPPING...Blue Door, NY&Co., Old Navy, etc.
• Surprises - SSI here we come!
• Nook!
• Decisions to go to grad school
• Loving quality time with family and most especially, the Hubby :)

I did not capture pictures, but I am so overwhelmed at the love and wishes that have come my way for my Birthday this year...I am so grateful for another year, and hope to have MANY more to come...Can't wait to see what this year holds! :)

Working Girl :)

So today I am a working girl...at the office with the hubby doing invoicing and answering phones...I have to admit...I love being here at the office with him, there is no disagreeing, and it's so busy, we don't have time to be up underneath one another...loving the office life here at Oconee Concrete, Inc....

Going strong in the industry since 1974...Call us if you need Concrete! :)  334.214.9140!

(The only downfall...it's really dusty/dirty around here!)

Spring

I just love Spring and all of the beautiful fashions, flowers, and fun that comes with it...I get to celebrate my birthday, anniversary w/ the hubby, and a graduation this year during this fabulous Spring...These photos are so pretty and Spring-y (and it does not hurt that there is a Pug, just like our little Porter-Pug!) :)

Glitter

I am obsessed with anything and everything glitter lately...Cheesy?  Yes!  Do I still love it? YES! :)

I have always loved Glitter, but I find myself getting cute nail polishes like the one from OPI designed by Katy Perry (Teenage Dream in pink glitter), glittery shoes, glittery pencils, etc.  I can't control myself...I blame it on my birthday coming up in less than two weeks...Birthdays should always include glitter, no?

Have a glittery and glamorous Tuesday, friends :)

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

I have 20 school days left of student teaching and I am BEYOND excited!!!  I am nearing the finish line and can't wait! 

WAAHOO!  Life without school for a while...what, oh, what will I do with myself?!?

Happy Hump Day!

5 Things I Can't Live Without!

Here are five things I could not live without on a day to day basis...Some are not very exciting, but very much needed in my opinion!  Here they are in no particular order...

1.  My Blackberry - I use it way to much for either calling, texting, BBMs, e-mail...the list goes on and on...hubby and I both are Crackberry addicts! 

2.  My eye makeup remover pads...these are the BEST!  I use Lancome eye makeup, and these are hands down the most gentle (for contact wearers) and effective out there!  Easy when traveling to pack, too!

 3.  My wedding bang/engagement ring...I would feel naked and just wrong for taking them off...I sleep, shower, etc. in mine...I could also not survive without the sweet man that put it on my finger, either! :)

4.  My flat iron...enough said...use it daily for this unruly hair!!

 5.  My morning french vanilla Dunkin Donuts coffee!
