I'm loving it so far. I just find it a bit strange.



On my mind...

• Okay, so this is a random mod podge of my thoughts this day...
• Speaking of mod podge...I wanna do some picture frames. Maybe add a little scrapbook paper, some magazine clippings...ya know. Fabric?
• I've been making fabric wrapped bracelets lately. I absolutely love them!!
• If you find a nerd scouring the fabric section of Walmart, don't be alarmed! It's just me :)
• The boyfriend has had football on for about 2 hours now today.
• Wanna know how long he's been awake?
• That's right. You guessed it. 2 hours.
• Did I mention that I'm writing this blog to avoid pinterest?
• I've got a love/hate relationship with the website.
• Why you ask?
• Because it takes up alllllll of my time.
• It's the devil! (not really!) But the website does totally suck me in.
• I love days when I know that football is on schedule allllll day long and I don't have to blow dry my hair.
• You know what else I love? The fact that Auburn plays a night game today.
• Know what that means? Pizza for dinner!
• I love some pizza. Hopefully we can score some feta and spinach from Tortora's.
• It's basically my fav.
• Umm...Does Mike Rowe's (Dirty Jobs) voice seem like and aphrodisiac to anyone else?
• Onions make me really happy :)
• Is that weird? I just love their bite.
• I need colored skinnies.
• Seriously.
• A Gap trip may be on the agenda for after church tomorrow.
• Have I ever mentioned how much I love my church?
• Willowbrook is the bomb.
• The Unplugged service is the bomb.com.

Random Thoughts

So, this is going to be a rather random posting. My apologies in advance if the flow of thought doesn't seem reasonable :) Oh well. It's a REAL post at least, right?

1. I am so perfectly content with my life right now. (DID YOU HEAR THAT? DO I NEED TO REPEAT MYSELF?! haha Seriously, though.) I am so perfectly content with my life right now. I have the BEST boyfriend a gal could have. We seem closer than ever before lately. Now, I'm just waiting on that bling. hehe My friends rock. Seriously. They're out of this world hilarious, and the best little texters :) That's important in friends, ya know. My family and I have spent TWO months back in our house, and besides kitchen cabinets and a rug for my room, things are finally starting to feel like home again. It's so nice to be back in my own space. (I promise I haven't forgetten about the pictures. They're coming, promise.) Willowbrook has definitely become mine and Jacob's church home. It's so nice to have a fit together. And finally, I know I  am nowhere near to having the job I want, but at least I have a job I enjoy. Who cares if the pay is crappy? Oh, wait. I do!! I do!! Still though, as I job search, I'm content.

2. Pinterest has taken over my life. I definitely think my existance in the cyber world exists soley on that website. I could spend hours poring over and then repinning Wedding Ideas, Outfit Inspirations, recipes, etc. etc. etc. It's a bit exhausting and overwhelming when you really step back and seriously think about the concept. It makes me a happy girl though :)

3. I have started working out. Now, while some of you may laugh...it is true. I swear it! I have set the Wii up in my room and I either play Just Dance for an hour (trust me...it makes me stinky with sweat. TMI? My apologies.) or I walk at least two miles. I'll probably give myself Sundays off. I mean, cause what are Sundays for other than going to church, eating and napping? I may also start recording my daily eats on the ole blog again. Although I haven't resorted back to my coca cola classic drinking ways (at least I only have one a week!!), I feel that I eat better and LESS when I am journaling everything down. (Did I just make up a word? Journaling?)

4. I'm obsessed with the Pretty Little Liars book series. That being said, I'm on the last book and just might stalk Sarah Shepard until she rights the next one, or three or six!

5. War Eagle! I love me some Auburn football, but can I say...I'm just a little exhausted having football on the schedule all day every day for Saturdays. What happened to date nights being on Saturdays? I'll tell you what happened...college football. On the upside, pinterest and football season have brought out the domestic goddess in me. Okay, well...maybe I'm not at goddess status yet!

6. I'm ready for the cool weather. Who's with me?

The Big 2-5

This weekend just so happened to be the weekend I turned the BIG TWO FIVE. That's right. I'm 25 now. Don't worry, I'm not having TOO hard a time dealing with it (okay...it's killing me. Seriously. Twenty-five is scarily close to THIRTY. No? You'd feel the same way, right? Tell me it's true!!). I've been blessed for twenty-five wonderful years. I honestly believe that this past year (the year of being 24) has been my best yet. Even though I'm getting closer to 30, I know that this year will be even better than the last.

So, you're wondering what I did to celebrate, aren't you?

Here goes...

Let's start the birthday celebrations on last Tuesday. Last Tuesday happened to be my Uncle Greg's 50th birthday. Because I spent my birthday weekend in Auburn, my family took us out to eat at Connors for our birthdays. Oh. Em. Gee. If you've ever had the chance to eat at a Connors, you should. I'm telling you...that's the BEST steak you will ever put in your mouth!!

Friday, I left work early, and Jacob and I cranked the Stang and headed to The Loveliest Village on the Plains. Everytime I go back to Auburn, it makes me so very happy! Jacob and I immediately headed to Laredo's for some Mexican cuisine to meet several of our friends. Included in the list were, Katherine, Gary, Aimee and Tyler, Ben and Hannah, Roeder, and Blake. After dinner, we all decided to pretty much call it an evening. We're getting old (Hello!! The BIG 25!! Do you notice a theme? haha). Jacob and I went back to Aimee and Tyler's new house. They were so generous to put us up for the weekend. Sincerely, best HOST and HOSTESS EVER! Their house is completely adorable and soooo suited to Da Motos. Seriously. You walk in and say, 'Hey! This is a house built for Aimee and Tyler.' That evening before bed, Aimee baked me cookies, lit a candle, stuck it in one, and she, Tyler, and Jacob sang me 'Happy Birthday.' It was completely sweet. And so simple, but so appreciated.

Saturday started super early. Jacob and I had secured student tickets for the Auburn vs. Mississippi State game. We had to be at the stadium at 9:30 ready to endure the game. When the game ended with an Auburn win, at 3:30, we left the stadium stoked, exhausted, sunburnt, and thirsty. War Eagle! :) We went back to Aimee and Tyler's, showered, and just rested before my birthday dinner.

We eventually pulled ourselves out of our lazy state and headed to meet friends at the Irish Bred Pub in Opelika. It's one of my favorite places to eat when we go down to Auburn because they have Woodchuck on draft. So, after stuffing my belly with spinach dip, potato skins, fish & chips and a couple of Woodchucks, we headed to Quixote's for some drinks and music. It was a PERFECT birthday evening, no doubt. It was just laidback enough to still remain exciting.

We ended our weekend in Auburn with lunch at Loco's with Aimee, Tyler, Wilson, Jon, Josh, and Blake. It was an amazing weekend, no doubt. Jacob and I really enjoy our car rides home from Auburn on Sunday evenings/afternoons. It makes us really appreciate conversation and quiet time with each other.

Twenty-five has been GREAT so far. Hopefully, it will be even greater than twenty-four! :)

If I promised you a real life post sometime later today....

...would you believe me?
