Fortunes

I finally got the disposable camera developed from Katie and Jeremy's wedding, the one that puts fortunes on the pictures. Well the quality is horrible. I attempted to make them better using Photoshop so now you can at least tell who the people are in the pictures.

Daylight Donuts | Tuscaloosa, AL

This donut shop is a nice change to the donut shop we already have in town. It's nice to have options. I really like their cake donuts. The blueberry one was delicious. They call this huge chunk of sugar cinnamon goodness a "pinecone". 

   

Bobby + Kylie | Stock the Bar Shower

A few weekends ago Trey and I went to Montgomery for our friends, Bobby and Kylie's Stock the Bar Shower. It was a lot of fun. Bobby and Kylie are so much fun! I cannot wait for their big day!

WIAW #20

During the move I ate out A LOT. Now that I have more time I am trying to get back into cooking more. Plus I have a bigger kitchen and a deck to grill out on! I can never turn down Zoe's Kitchen though so for lunch today I had a chicken salad sandwich and potato salad. Zoe's potato salad is my absolute, all-time favorite. For dinner tonight I made a grilled cheese and heated up some tomato soup.

Weekend Snapshots | May 10-12, 2013

After work on Friday I made a stop at TJ Maxx and purchased a lot of cute things.

I love how my house is beginning to look and feel like my home. It's the little things that make it feel like it is mine. I haven't been wanting to leave it lately. I want to stay home and get everything put up and organized just the way I want it. But then I remember those trips to TJ Maxx and realize I need to go to work to fund my obsession with cute things.  

This weekend was another busy one.I finished painting my kitchen and dining area. I love the bright white walls. They feel so clean and fresh. Now I have my bathroom, hall bathroom, both halls and guest room to paint. I enjoy painting but I am ready to have my house finished. 

My Mom came over and cleaned while I painted. She showed me how to work a weed-eater. On Sunday we sat on my patio sipped iced sweet tea and her drink of choice Dr. Pepper. We grilled teriyaki chicken, pineapples, peppers and onions. I am so lucky to have such a wonderful, loving and caring mother. 

Weed-eating is a job but I managed to get my front and back yards finished just as the second battery went dead. I don't think it will be as bad once I kill all the weeds and get some grass to growing again. Some of the weeds were so thick they could have been mistaken for baby trees.

Quick Update | I'm moved!

Just checking in with a quick update! All of my stuff is moved into my house! I turned in my keys to my apartment this morning. I have been busy painting, unpacking, etc. The soonest they can set up the internet at my house is this Sunday. I guess that is a good thing because there will be no distractions from unpacking and cleaning. Have a great week!

Currently | April 2013

Loving: My cactuses cacti (I still think cactuses sounds better) and succulents that I bought at Lowe's and Walmart. Now if only I can find the bowl/planter that I have envisioned in my head... I hate when I know exactly what I want and cannot find it anywhere. 

Reading: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I am so glad I decided to read them! I am enjoying them a lot more than when I tried to read them in middle school. I may even finish the series this time.  

Watching: The Vampire Diaries on Netflix. I don't know what it is about teenage dramas that just hook me in. It's a tad bit embarrassing... Meh oh well.

Anticipating: The actual move. Now that things are finalized I can't wait to be moved in.

Listening to: Mumford and Sons Pandora station. So good. 

Planning: Coordinating paint colors, light fixtures, faucets, hose pipes, weed eaters, how I am going to get grass to grow in my yard?!, etc... If there are any lawn specialists out there feel free to give advice.

Working on: Painting! I want to get everything painted that I can before moving my furniture. I also made moving announcements. I was going to order some online until I decided that I could design and print my own. It saved me a lot of money since I already had the paper and envelopes. 

Wishing: For more time in a day. There is just so much to be done!

Thankful: I am so very thankful for my family and friends. They are so encouraging in stressful times. 

What are you currently loving, reading, watching, anticipating, listening to, planning, working on, wishing, thankful for, etc.?
