Weekend Highlights


*{While Thursday wasn't quite the weekend yet, I'm counting it on the highlight list due to it being close.} Alicia of Likely Badger hosted another after hours party at Anthropologie and Kristi and I had a great time trying on clothes and getting input from all in attendance!

*Remember how last week we had dinner with my brother after one of his pharmacy school interviews? Well, with another interview down {count: 2}, he's already received an acceptance! I couldn't be more proud of him!

*Saturday morning brought some much-needed catch up with my college roommate, Kelly! We met up in our college town, hit up two local coffee shops, and filled each other in on our lives. If only we could do this every weekend...

*When I got back home, we headed over to Charles & Kristi's house to hang out. The main reason we had gone over was so I could: sew some buttons on to one of Charles' suits; and assist Kristi in dying her hair {pictured above}. After completing my "tasks", we had dinner & then got beat by the boys in Pinochle.

*Lastly, today ended up being the most productive day at home I've had all month! After church, we got our taxes done, worked out, and then deep cleaned the house. Now I feel like I could sleep for days, but it is nice to spend the last few hours of the weekend relaxing in a clean house!

Hope you all have a good week!

Weekend Highlights

*After the last couple of busy weeks/weekends, this one was anticipated to be a fairly quiet one.

*Sam and I headed up to the outlets first thing on Saturday morning. We walked away with some shirts/sweatshirt {for Sam}, jeans {for myself}, and a couple pairs of shoes {one for each of us}.

*My brother had his first pharmacy school interview on Saturday and since it was in Portland, he swung by our house after to grab dinner. It was so good to see him and hear about his future plans {a more detailed post to come}.

*Friday Night Lights has always been a favorite in our home and currently, we are spending our weekends re-watching the first four seasons in anticipation of the upcoming last season. Can't wait!

*After a few canceled dates, Kristi and I finally found a time to go get pedicures on Sunday. It was some much-needed relaxation and good conversation!

*For Christmas, my {wonderful} SIL thought to gift me some Calphalon bake ware and I took it for a spin for the first time tonight. I'm loving this brand more and more with each piece I bake/cook with.

Here's to another week...

What I Wore Wednesday

Hooray, more pictures this week! And {once again} no mirrors! However, I am still adjusting to posing in front of my husband - to be honest, I feel pretty awkward. I'm just happy I have someone who is willing to take as many pictures as it takes to get a good one {Thanks Sam!}.

Weekend Highlights: Belated Christmas Present

For Christmas, all of my husband's siblings {+ spouses} got together to purchase a joint gift for my in-laws - tickets to a Blazer game. And after the week I had, this weekend couldn't have come at a better time!


We all gathered for an early dinner of homemade chicken enchiladas and then headed into Portland for the game. We didn't have the best seats in the house {see the wall behind us?}, but we did have a lot of fun! And they won!!!

Besides the game, the rest of the weekend was spent catching up on life. There was some talk was about baby names {for our upcoming niece} and the life of couponing {my SIL is impressing me with each purchase she makes} and my MIL used one of her Christmas presents, a cast iron pot, to make a delicious roast for us all.

Hope you all had a restful weekend!

Needless to say, my mind has been elsewhere and I apologize for the lack of outfits this week. However, I do have to say that my husband offered to take my picture when I got home from work, so that's why you see no more mirror shots this week {hooray!}. Now to this week's {few} OOTD's...

What I Wore Wednesday

Lately, I've been looking forward to our days off and this week, I had two non-typical days off {Friday & Monday} in addition to the typical weekend.
