Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I woke up early on Friday so I could work at the restaurant for a little bit.  After I left there, I ran some errands to finish up some stuff for a friends bachelorette party tomorrow.  Of course, I decided to do a litte DIY at the last minute.  I came home and started on that project then ran to Target.  I ended up spending way to much time there but not very much money!!  #winning  I came home and finished cleaning my house since some of the bachelorette party was going to be at my house tomorrow. 

Saturday
I woke up early because I wanted to go to my friend Niki's, oldest son's parade that he was marching in but it was raining so I didn't go.  I went back to sleep and got up later to start getting ready for the party.  I still hadn't decided on what to wear so I went to Maurice's to see if I could find something I like better.  I'm loving their skinny jeans/jeggings or whatever they are called and I had a coupon, so I bought boots too!!  I have been looking for new boots for a while and haven't found any that I totally love yet and these are adorable!

We met at Chili's to eat to start out.  We had plans afterwards but the bride didn't know what they were.

Trisha & I
We came back to my house to eat cake and play some cheesy bachelorette party games!  We had a blast and laughed so hard!!

Me, Laura, Danielle, Trisha & Sarah
Yummy sangria in our cute glasses that I glitterized!!
The glasses were my last minute DIY.  I put a ringpop, tylenol, a glow bracelet and gum in each one.  I didn't take a picture of them all sitting there but I think one of the other girls might have.  I thought they turned out really cute.  I saw them on pinterest here.  We then left here and headed in to town to go out and do some dancing. 
Me, Laura & Sarah
At the first place we went, we were dancing and I saw Emily and had to have my picture taken with her!!  She taught Niki & I how to put eyelashes on correctly on YouTube!!  I immediately sent this picture to Niki because I knew she would be just as excited!!
 
Sunday
I was very happy to wake up and not feel awful like I did after the last bachelorette party I went to.  I didn't have any plans for today so I just cleaned up what was still left out from the party and just watched some tv.  Lindsay sent me a text saying that she had bought me something and I get this picture.....

yep, that's a hashtag and I love it!!!

Weekend Wrap-Up

Friday
I ran to Kohl's to return a pair of boots that I ordered but didn't like the color and did a little shopping since I was there.  I found a picture to finally complete my wall I had been waiting to do.
Love how it turned out!!
Saturday
I worked at the restaurant and then came home and crashed because I didn't sleep very much the night before.  I'm so tired of not being able to sleep at night.  I am so ready to start working days....October 28th will be here soon!!  My friend was having a birthday get together for her husband but I didn't make it because I slept till almost 8pm!
"On Wednesday, we wear pink"


Sunday
I slept in then ran to the mall to check out some fall clothes and still trying to find some new tall boots...I am having no luck at all right now! 
Since it was National Coffee Day, I stopped and got this little treat to enjoy while I did a little shopping.  I found a few cute tops and some skinnies....all I need now are the boots I can't seem to find!  I have an idea in my head and Maurice's has a pair that will work if I don't find anything better.
When I got home I decided to make a new recipe for dinner.  It's called chili tortellini and I got it from pinterest of course.
Chili Tortellini... nice change up for this winter.
Her picture...not mine
It was yummy!!!

I finally took a picture of us wearing our Kate Spade BFF bangles!
It was over at 11, then I decided to drive to Indiana tonight instead of coming over in the morning.  I got there at about 1:15 and the park night shift guy wasn't too happy with me!!  HA!!  I was so glad I came over then and didn't wait until the morning.  We talked for a little bit then went on to bed.
Saturday
We woke up around 7:30 and Grandma was heading out of the RV because she thought we were sleeping.  When she realized we were up she asked us if we wanted her to make some coffee.  Of course, we said yes!!  We all sat in the RV together drinking coffee and talking.  After about 3 pots of coffee, we were finally ready to make some breakfast.  We ate then took a walk around the campground.  Lindsay and I decided to run a little bit down to the lake and back.

New Car

So, today I said goodbye to my mustang and said hello to my new pretty SUV!!!




I loved it the minute I saw it!!  It's a Chevy Captiva!!  They're mostly sold overseas so I wasn't sure I was going to find one here.  I looked online for new ones and there weren't any I could find close to me.  I think it was fate that I found it!!  Haha!!  And the color, it's Crystal Red!!  See, fate!  It's loaded, remote start, leather, heated seats, moon roof, blue tooth.....it's everything I wanted!!!
