6 Months...really?!

Wow I am embarrassed to say it has been 6 months since my last post. Life has been kind of crazy these last six months for me. I have had a LOT to blog about but I guess I was just not feeling motivated...

A few things to catch you up:

-Lucy celebrated her year Birthday. We threw her a Paw-ty and it was so much fun!
-Sayer got a job in Raleigh
-Sayer moved to Raleigh
-Things fell apart with my roommate
-moved out of my house and into my sisters apartment
-Lucy moved to Raleigh with Sayer
-moved out of my sisters apartment and into my parents house
-I got a job in Raleigh at BB&T
-I am moving to Raleigh in 2 weeks!!

Told you it was a lot. It has been a whirlwind to say the least. I have had a lot of stress and have not handled it as well as I should but things are looking up. I am really excited to move to Raleigh and start this new chapter of my life. It is a huge step for me. I have never left Charlotte. So a fresh start will be good for me. Sayer is amazing. I am just so blessed to have him in my life. He gives me tough love when I need it(which is a lot) and he encourages me and loves me in good times and in bad times. He is more then I could ever ask for and I am so excited about what the future holds for us:)

Picture updates coming soon. Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far!!

Almost the weekend and a few pictures

Sorry for not posting much lately. It has been busy on the home front. Lupron is making me feel not so great lately so I am pretty tired and run down at night/weekends. Lucy has also been sick with some stomach bug so that has a been a big pain too...

but enough of the complaining. Here are a few pictures from the past few weeks:)

I got to spend some time with my roomates from college, Brittany and Katie. Katie, the one on the right is getting married next June so she came in town for a little wedding planning/dress shopping:)

My good friend from College, Lauren got married a few weeks ago. here are all the bridesmaids getting ready before the wedding...

The happy couple. congrats Lauren and Zach:)

Hope everyone has a great Thursday! ITS ALMOST THE WEEKEND!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!

I am running the Carolina Panthers 5k this weekend and then heading the lake with some friends so it should be a good one...

To be continued...

Lucy♥

I have been wanting to get a puppy for a couple years now but due to living arrangements and financial reason i have put it off. I knew I wanted a pug and I knew I wanted a girl but I also knew I did not want to spend a fortune on a dog bc that just was not reasonable for me...

well yesterday I got a blessing...I found a guy in Kannapolis(outside of Charlotte) who had one girl pug and one boy Pug and they were a great price...

Meet Ms. Lucy:)

She is newest member of my family and she is such a sweetheart

One more just because she is so darn cute...

Have a Great Tuesday!!

xoxo

TGIF & My New Beau:)

So glad it is finally Friday. Do you ever have those weeks that drag on...and on...and on....


This was one of them for me.

Nothing too grand planned for the weekend. Hanging out with some friends tonight and if the weather permits laying by the pool tomorrow.

Sooo....I have been dating someone now for 2 months but have not introduced him yet on my blog so without further a due....Meet Sayer:)



More to come about him later. I will just say this, I am very happy:)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!

Thursday Thoughts

CHAOS!

For those of you who are not in Charlotte, we have a big Golf Tournament every year around this time called Wachovia championship (Quail Hollow Championship now) and it has caused a lot of stress around our office the last month or so. Every year my boss host a HUGE breakfast where all of our companies investors come to hear one of the golfers speak. This year was Stewart Cink. Caroline and I got the wonderful task of preparing all 32 of the flower arrangements for this event and I thought i would share some pictures of our handy work...

One of our MANY table arrangements...

Pretty View of the Golf Course...

Always thought it would be fun to be a florist but after this, I have changed my mind...

Also wanted to give a little shout out to Mimi from Mimi's Making Meals. I made her Chicken and Spinach Enchiladas last night and they were absolutely delicious:) Thanks Mimi!

Wednesday Ramblings

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Things are looking up....

After a week of dreadful cold/rainy weather the sun is finally SHINING and i can not tell you how happy that makes me. I got to wear Sandals today. which also makes me happy. This is probably going to be one of those random, rambling post that makes no sense, so just prepare yourself.

I have recently become obsessed with the Pioneer Woman. I could read her blog for days...it NEVER stops. I would love to blog like that. she rocks. Just wanted to throw her a shout out, not that she will see this. but just in case.

So I recently blogged about my love life gone bad and then i just read that and realized how pathetic i must sound to all of you bloggers out there. I know God has a plan for my life. I guess sometimes it is just hard to see the big picture when you are having a personal pity party. I seem to have those often.

I never did the "25 Things" on facebook so I think I will just do it on my blog...here goes.

1. I am deathly afraid of crickets. Yes, crickets. The thought of them jumping around freaks me out because you never know if their next jump might be on you. Seriously keeps me up at night. Ask my family and roommates.

2. I have a younger sister who could be my twin. Only brunette.

3. I live with someone I met on craigslist and she is great.

4. I was the president of my 6th grade class. Ha.

5. I still love Hanson and listen to them on my iPod.

6. If I could have any job I would be a wedding planner…There is nothing better than seeing 2 people who are head over heels in love. It’s contagious.

7. I LOVE CHEESE.

8. My best friend is Jesus Christ. He is the only person who has never let me down.

9. I drive a CAROLINA blue pickup truck. Some call it the “Danger Ranger” but I prefer “Blue”

10. My Pet Peeve is bad drivers. I have closet Road rage (bad). It is not pretty. I am working on it.

11. I am still close with MANY of my friends from childhood. I love new friends but there is something about someone who has known you your whole life.

12. I had natural blonde hair until about 11th grade and now I enhance it to keep it that way. Blonde's do really have more fun.

13. I have a hello kitty Debit Card. It is one of my favorite things.

14. My favorite Jelly Belly flavor is buttered popcorn.

15. I used to be a cheerleader. Go Patriots!

16. I can’t wait to be a mom. DON’T WORRY. No time soon. But honestly, can’t wait.

17. I was born in Richmond, VA but consider myself a Charlotte native.

18. I watch the same movie over and over every night to fall asleep. This week it’s Spanglish.

19. I heart the color pink. It makes me happy.

20. I wish I had the nerve to sing in front of other people. I love to sing.

21. I love cheesy movies. And I cry a lot when I watch them.

22. I can be very shy.

23. I would love to write my own cookbook one day and I secretly want to host my own show on the food network. Any suggestions on a name??

24. I don’t have any animals right now. I really want to get a pug and name her Petunia.

25. I am NOT NOT NOT a morning person.

Random Picture of Me with my best girlfriends from high school/Middle School/Elementary school at our monthly girls dinner:) love these sweet girls. Congrats Kristin on the baby!! I am going to be an aunt!

Guess i should get back to that whole "job" thing. Being a big girl is no fun sometimes.

Oh one more thing. Please be praying for a friend of mine who was laid off this week. God is going to do big things in her life...I just know it:)
