I am sooo sorry I am just now getting these posts up; I've had every intention of doing it since I got these in the mail, but October has been crazy busy and I finally have a moment to get caught up!
If you don't know, I am taking part in the "Fall" Into a Friendship Swap hosted by Miss Katie atLife With the D's and have been paired with Tiffany fromSounds Like Life To Me , who is the best swap partner ever (I feel bad, because I feel like I've been kind of a let down swap partner so far to her, but I will make up for it with your package next week, I PROMISE!)

Week 4: Send something fall festive to your partner! (Something small: stickers, nick nack, etc)

Here's the cute goodies and card I got (LOVE!):

It's Okay Thursdays

This week, I've realized:



* It's okay to be 24 and have wrinkles- I happen to love my forehead wrinkles.
* It's okay to have conversations with my dog and to laugh at the blonde moments she has.
*It's okay to be breaking out heaters, electric blankets, and sweater cause 60 is "cold."
* It's okay to go over on your daily calories, sometimes.
* It's okay to wake up early on Saturdays to get to the mail and hope you got a package :)
* It's okay to still not have done any Christmas shopping.
* It's okay to look forward to Friday cause you know it's date night and much deserved.
* It's okay to rock the neutral makeup look daily- (hey, I went from champagney lid colors to granite, so it's a change!).
* It's okay to feel naked without liquid liner and pencil liner.
* It's okay to be obsessed with my new I-Phone- it's a step uo from broken cheap cell!
*It's okay to once again be driving on empty until payday lol.
*It's okay to look forward to washing your face with your Mary Kay Timewise Miracle set at night cause you love how clan you feel afterwards.
* It's okay to get on the floor, dance like an idiot, talk in a goofy voice, and just act flat out goofy all for the sake of a kid's laugh at work :)
*It's okay to be excited for payday cause you get a deep freeze (woo hoo!) and groceries!!

Bridal Pic Preview!

I got home from my photo shoot 2 hours ago (I took bridal pics today- even though I've been married 3 years, I never got to take them prior and ever bride should!) and already, I have a sneak peek of hot pretty the bridal shoot really was. I felt like a princess and loved how I looked.

Here's some of the goodness:

Where's Foto Fun Friday?

I was totally lame this week and didn't take any pictures :( I am however, going to have lots of pictures for next week's Foto Fun Friday; you know why?

I'll tell you why:

2. Josh and I ordered I-Phones! They'll be here Tuesday so I will be a picture takin!

Sorry it's been crappy with the pics this week, but next week will be better; I'll be a better daily blogger too!

"Fall" Into a Friendship Swap: Week 2 Reveal!

I got my week 2 card from Miss Tiffany today for my "Fall" Into a Friendship Swap.

Week 2: Send your partner a letter letting them know what your favorite things to do in the fall are.

The card was the cutest! I adore zebra print, so this was perfect!





I loved reading about your favorite fall things to do! You are so sweet and so upbeat, I love getting cards each week from you!

Disclaimer: Tiffany, I lost track of this week, so your cards for week 2 and 3 will go out Saturday. I am soooo sorry, but work has been totally chaotic this week!

It's Okay Thursdays

* It's okay to fall behind on daily blogging- life is more important.

* It's okay to wear chipped nail polish :)

* It's okay to not have any Christmas shopping done- Black Friday will be here soon enough :)

* It's okay to pamper yourself every now and then :)

* It's okay to schedule 3 different photography sessions to have an assortment of Christmas images to pick from for your Christmas cards.

* It's okay to pull hair in a pony tail for daily work.

* It's okay to speak your mind!!!!

* It's okay to wonder how in the hell Rhianna got sexiest woman alive???

* It's okay to not do any laundry until Saturdays- hey, work is tiring!

*It's okay to let your dog sleep in bed with you at night.

* It's okay to not get your eyebrows done all time- tomorrow, they'll be nice and pretty! Way overdue!

* It's okay to not get gas until the gas light comes on! Hey, i'm lazy!

Happy Thursdays!!!

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Scarves! Fall is here and it's the perfect touch to a plainer outfit.


Velvetta Skillet Meals! A ton better than Hamburger Helper! Chicken, Brocolli, and Cheddar is my favorite!

Plum lipsticks!


Candy Corns


Friends- I have it set to tape daily on my DVR :)

Tunes Tuesday- A Few Days Late!

I have been sooo busy this week with work and just being exhausted, so I apologize for being 3 days behind without posts! Here's my weekly tunes post.

This week, I am going with a love song and what better love song singing duo than Faith Hill and Tim McGraw? I think I adore both of them so much because they've been married for so long- you feel love in their duets. This song is probably my favorite- I Need You. If you haven't had a chance to hear the song, I've included the video for you below, it's simple and gorgeous. The kind of love I hope Josh and I can always have.


You will have to click on the youtube link, because I can't figure out how to add it lol.

How gorgeous is Faith? Seriously?

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
I wanna smell that sweet addiction on my breath
I wanna ride cross West Virginia on the backseat of a Cadillac
You know some cowboys like me go out like that so I need you

[Chorus]
Like a needle needs a vein
Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son needs the holy ghost
I need you

I wanna get lost in some corner booth
Cantina Mexico
I wanna dance to the static of an a.m. radio
I wanna wrap the moon around us and lay beside you skin on skin
Make love 'til the sun comes up 'till the sun goes down again cause i need you

[Chorus]
Like a needle needs a vein
Like Uncle Joe in Oklahoma needs a rain
I need you
Like a lighthouse on the coast
Like the father and the son needs the holy ghost
I need you

I wanna drink that shot of whiskey
I wanna smoke that cigarette
You know some cowboys like me go out like that I need you

Swapoween Package Reveal!

Today I came home from work and found my Swapoween package was here! I was soooo excited, getting packages is like Christmas for me and this was definetely, n0o exception! I participated in the Annual Swapoween Swap hosted by the lovely Beth at Living a Goddess Life and Miss Angie at My So Called Chaosand was paired with the adorable Vanessa from A Randomlicious Blog for the Soul. I could not have been paired with a more perfect partner. I really have made a great blogging friend with Vanessa and really hope we can keep in touch and continue to do swaps in the future.



Anyhow, she surprised me and TOTALLY put my package to shame (I am working on the last few touches and will get your package out on Thursday!). She didn't just send 1 package, she sent me 2!!!! Yes, 2!!! See.... my package totally put to shame! I could tell hubby had been tortured all day by having to wait until I got home to open them (maybe he should sign up for a swap next time?). Anyhow, we really LOVED opening the boxes and seeing what was inside.

Are you ready for this? I don't think you are! The boxes were totally full of cuteness!

Part 1:


Part 2:


It was all wrapped and cute, it was really hard to open!



The cutest card ever! Seriously! It really made my day!


I LOVED Vanessa's little notes on each package! This one said, His and I wasn't for sure what that meant, so I had Josh open it lol.



See.... it's like Christmas for him too :)



A baby pumpkin!
Josh-" Is this a real pumpkin?" Me- " Yeah, it's a baby pumpkin
Josh- "It looks like it's painted with glue." Me- "Nope, it's all real!"



A CUTE ghost dish that says BOO! I seriously had like no Halloween decor, so I am way excited!

Here's the matching package to the His, as shown earlier. This was labeled Hers, so I knew they had to go together!


It's another baby pumpkin!!

We All Like to Dress Up!


A ring and I think it's lipgloss? I hope I am right, cause it's sooo cute!


I LOVED this wrapping! The cute bow made the perfect touch!




Spice Apple Bread Mix from Trader Joes. We don't have a Trader Joe's close by, so I am eager to try this bread! Josh was practically begging for it tonight, but, we already ate, so he will j

ust have to wait :)

And my cam died :( The rest of the boxes were full of cute notes! Here's a picture of the rest of the goodies, all are awesome!

Dove Chocolates- yum! I LOVE Dove and I love dark chocolate, so this is perfect! Hubby never tried Dove before (shame...), so I was nice and shared. We enjoyed our motivational messages on the wrappers :)
