Birthdays, Parties, and Everything in Between

Happy Friday loves!

I'm ecstatic we made it to the weekend. All I can say is finally!

I'm so excited to be spending this weekend with friends and family again. Olivia comes home from school tomorrow and I couldn't be more ready. Several surprises await her arrival ;)

Today is my lovely friend, Jenny's birthday. I seriously love this girl to death. I always describe her to people this way - "She's so small but she's one of the feistiest people I know. You hurt someone she cares about and she'll kick your a$$." Jenny, now you know how you're perceived :)

 I'm pretty sure we were dancing here....

but who knows.

Happy Birthday pretty girl!! :)

Tonight I get to go to yet another Christmas party and the theme is naughty or nice. Could be interesting ;) and then I'm off to little miss J's bday dinner. Can't wait! 

What are y'all doing this weekend?

Have a good one! :)

xoxo.

And so it begins

Happy Friday loves!

Was it just me or did the week seem to c-r-a-w-l?! I'm so ready for the weekend. We've made it to December and so the holiday festivities begin! Tonight is the Grand Illumination downtown. This means two things. 1) Christmas is finally here. 2) There will be an ungodly amount of traffic and I'm smack dab in the middle of it. Trying to leave work will be a nightmare!! Ah, patience Sarah, patience.

They have several trees and all of the reindeer all lit up- including Rudolph, who has a very faint red nose. It's always been fun to try and see who finds him first. I've only been to this event once and that was enough for me. It was fun to be in the middle of it all but there were just way too many people. And it was cold. No bueno.

Tonight also marks the start of the Christmas party madness - 

and it's Casino themed!

That's right. This girl is picking up some skills for Vegas! 

So it should be fun. I'm excited....and I've heard that these parties are a blast. Wish me luck girls! {If it's anything like the last time I played blackjack, I'll walk away with $36,000....in fake money} Ah! So frustrating!!

Tomorrow night is the Tech/Clemson game in Charlotte. I definitely wish I could go! In hindsight, I would've taken that ticket but I think last weekend was just too much for me and I need to watch the game in a 'controlled' environment. If they win though, I'm gonna try to get tickets to the next game. Fingers crossed! A group of friends are all getting together to watch it somewhere and we're all Tech fans so it should be fun! Anyway, you all better be rootin' for the Hokies, or you aren't welcome back on this blog! {totally kidding! ....but I'm not ;) }

all i'm sayin'

I think we're putting our tree up this weekend but we're waiting until Olivia comes home next weekend to decorate it. Hurry up already Liv!! 

And finally, Rachel over at just peachy is having a giveaway to celebrate exceeding 200 followers! Congrats girl :)

Do you have any fun holiday plans this weekend?

xoxo.

Weekend Recap

Happy Monday lovelies!

Did y'all have a great weekend? I'm still looking for that extra hour we supposedly gained....ah! So tired today. I've got so much to tell you and it's all going to come out super random and I am totally okay with that today. 

So here goes-

{one} 

As I posted on Friday, my baby brother turned 18 on Saturday. Ah, so sad. Poor boy had to take the SAT's that morning, but then he had a lunch date with a certain female friend {aka homecoming date} Bow-chica-wow-wow. :) He had some friends over to partayy later and they ended up smoking cigars before the night was over. Well, you know I had to get my hands on one, just to say I've tried it. Let me tell you, I did it and I don't ever feel the need to do it again. But it wasn't bad....I just don't see the point.

Check it- Personalized cigars. 

Moving on.

One of my bestest friends in the whole wide world was having a party Saturday night as well, to 'celebrate/mourn' the fact that her boyfriend got an amazing job.....in Louisiana. Boo. Anyway, this party had a theme. What was it you ask?

Flannel & Fifths :)

Fun that night.....not so fun Sunday morning.

And half these guys had to get up to go play in a football tournament. I honestly do not know how they could function. But not only did they play 3 games, they won the whole freaking thing! {I definitely want to play next year :)} 

{three} 

I bought this liner for Halloween and wore it to said party and I love it!

Reasons why I love this little baby:

1. It was only $1

2. I suck at using liquid liner and it was super easy to put on

3. Did I mention it was only $1? 

{four} 

Please tell me you watched my boys play yesterday. Well "my boys" are my Colts, who once again lost yesterday. Woo 0-9 baby! At least when we commit to something we go all in. Let's get that draft pick. 

But I'm asking if you watched my men. 

See below :)

I love you. Both.

Nothing makes me happier than seeing Tom Brady upset. So proud of my Eli <3

And Tim Tebow, well, he's just easy to look at. :)

Hope you're all having a great Monday! 

xoxo.
