5 on friday


one. I just have to start out by saying how happy I am that it's Friday and the weekend!! I only have one class on Friday, so I often skip it, and that's definitely happening today so I can get the weekend started early! I have a fun date planned tonight for me and R, so check back soon for pics :)

 two. I also think I'm going to be totally free from homework this weekend! YAY! That means maybe I'll get some time to craft. Here are some things I'm considering making :)

Where should I start? Anyone want to join me to craft?? :D

 three. My niece is seriously the most adorable girl ever. She is 16 months old, and she just said my name this week! Not all the time, but she definitely said it. And, when I saw her today, she not only left her mom's arms to let me hold her, but she then stayed with me pretty much the whole time she was here, even choosing me over Grandma! [Sorry Grandma :)] Love that sweet girl :)

four. Do you ever think back about old boyfriends and then think, Man. I'm so glad it didn't work out with anyone but my husband? Because I do. Because though I knew and dated a lot of great guys, no one compares to Russ. He loves me perfectly, treats me like a queen, and smiles at me and kisses me when I do something weird. He gets me, and I get him. I'm just so grateful for him every single day :)


five. A few days ago, R's sister Lacey came down. I thought she was only going to be around for like half an hour, but she ended up staying nearly four hours! (Til 12:45am, which is pretty crazy since our typical bedtime is 10pm.) But it was so fun :) We've seen her relatively recently, but I guess not recently enough since we just kept talking and enjoying being all together :) Always fun to see family, because I have one of the best families ever (my family including husband, in-laws, and blood-related family members). And I say "one" of the best families, rather than two or three, because they're all my family, and I love every single one of them! :) I'm so blessed :)


And that's all, folks! Happy Friday! Feel free to join the link up--click the icon at the top to see what it's all about! :)

    Glad I'm not alone. I totally skipped out on socioling, too.

      Bahaha yeah. I really shouldn't have, because I'll be missing next Friday and the following Monday as well, but . . . I guess I just couldn't wait for the weekend to get started! :) Hope you did something fun instead of class ;)

      Haha no, of course not. My free time had to go to not-as-fun things like grocery shopping and dishes. But at least I got some time with my honey :) Thanks for stopping by! :)

our first murder mystery

Image
A murder mystery been on my "party list" for ages, but I've never gotten around to throwing one (probably because there are too many other ideas on my party list haha). So even though we were planning to do Harry Potter movie parties every Friday and Saturday in October, when my friend asked if we'd be available for a murder mystery, I told her I would rearrange my schedule to be there! Haha :) When the actual invitation came, I was super impressed because it was so themed and legit! Diana went above and beyond -- the kit they bought (from  Night of Mystery ) came with invitations, but she had someone design different ones that were so awesome. Girl knows how to get the party started right from the get-go! I had heard about and seen other murder mysteries before, and the main thing I always heard about was people dressing up. It was so fun to arrive at Diana and Michael's and find that everyone had really gone all out with their costumes! Wigs,

Lately I have been looking for a nice purse. I always carry a bag around, and so I want something that looks nicer and more grown-up. Trouble is, I can't make up my mind! So for today's 5 on Friday, I'm showing the options I have. Please help me out! :) one.   couldn't find a picture online so . . . you get my inadequate photography skills on this one :) Cobalt Bag: Burlington Coat Factory Similar:  A.   B. ++pros big enough to fit my planner best price ----cons might be bigger than I want limited organizational features (only two giant sections; no smaller compartments and zipper areas) two.  Coral Bag:  Target ++pros smaller size love  all of the compartmental options ----cons I have a lot of shirts this color, so it will look either too matchy-matchy, or the two very similar colors will clash won't fit my planner three. sidenote: I don't actually wear cross-body purses across my body (pict

it's a love story {part 5}

This series is turning into a novel! So if you don't want to read  part 1 ,  part 2 ,  part 3 , or  part 4 , I wouldn't blame you. But if you do, there you go :) Part Five - First Date . . . or Second? When we last left off, Russ and I were finally interacting more and we both knew that we liked each other. But he still hadn't asked me on a date! But sometime in early December, he finally remedied that. On a Thursday, he asked me if I would go stargazing with him on the coming Sunday evening. I was super excited :) But in the meantime, he kind of asked me on a different first date, but I didn't really know it. He texted me on Saturday morning, asking if I wanted to go on "a walk" with him. Fully loving every minute spent with him, I readily agreed! But let's be clear--it wasn't a walk. It was a hike. Which isn't a big deal, except that hiking through rocky places requires different shoes than those used to walk on the nicely paved sidew
