high five for friday

Thank goodness for 3 day weekends! Seriously, can I get an amen?

 I'm heading to the local fireworks tonight with my parents, nothing too exciting but I like to stick with tradition.

Carlos O Kelly's recently closed in a neighboring town which was by far my favorite place to eat so I'm heading up north Saturday to eat at one with a few friends before I move down to Texas. Carlos O Kelly s is the only Mexican restaurant I enjoy and lets admit it, it's probably nothing close to Mexican food. We hit up a few Mexican restaurants in Texas and I was not very impressed. I have too many people in my life that are Mexican fans, I'd rather stick with my good ol' cheeseburger and fries.

Sunday funday will involve going to see Deliver us from Evil. I'm all for scary movies, though I do prefer to watch them with my husband instead of a bunch of jumpy girls, haha. 

I hope everyone enjoys their holiday weekend, I know I am!

1. I know I already said this but seriously, 3 day weekend. It has to make my number 1 spot.

2. Yea, check out this mess. I finally got off my butt and started tagging things for the garage sale the parents and I are having next weekend. I'm about halfway through and already had a few people rummage through and  buy some things. I have made a little over a $100 so far. 

3. Aaron has been sending me links to websites of apartments in San Angelo. They all pretty much have exercise rooms and swimming pools. Win! I am getting very excited to be moving soon. Though I am not looking forward to packing again, boo!

4. I finally broke down and bought a pair of earrings from Nickel & Suede. If you haven't checked out their earrings you probably should. I know I will be wearing mine a lot. Of course I bought the yellow! They also have free shipping this weekend with code, FREEDOM, so it's perfect to pick up a pair. (Photo borrowed from their site) 

5. I am currently reading the 4th book in the Immortal Instruments series. I'm addicted. I drive down to my little spot in the shade at a nearby park during my lunch hour and have to force myself to remember that I do have to eat besides read the book. If you are into the Harry Potter series or Percy Jackson series I'm sure these books will gladly satisfy your book cravings. Though Harry Potter will always be my fav, don't even joke.

Song stuck in my head this week:  

Check out Lauren Elizabeth's High five for Friday!

All thoughts are my own, duh.

high five for friday!

It's Friday guys, whoo! We have survived another work week. I know it's a horrible way to look at it, "surviving". Just some weeks though...
My husband and I had a recent conversation about this. We are both really struggling with the day to day activities without each other. It seems to have gotten worse since his graduation we are just so close to being back together that some days I just feel like I'm not fully immersing myself into the day and everything is just automatic. Anyone else ever get like this? I know once we are back together life will feel more back to "normal"... whatever that is. :)

This weekend will be pretty low key and involve lots of packing and pricing items for a garage sale. I have far too much stuff and I am trying readlly hard to downsize.. doesn't really work though when you have more coming in then going out, whoops. Anyone else ready to start a group, Shopaholics Annoymous? Sign me up!

Highlights of my week

1. My husband finally reached phase 2 this week which means that he gets to start the paperwork for me to move down there and he can wear civilian clothes out in public. He was so excited that not even an hour after his briefing about phase 2 I received a photo of him in his civilian clothes. Adorbs.

2. I had an amazing work out Tuesday night but I am really struggling to start round 2 of 21 day fix and stick with it. (which I swear I will do a full post on). So I joined a facebook group that a beachbody coach started and I am very excited to have a small group of people for support and motivation.

3. I was able to stop by and catch up with some friends I haven't talked to in forever. It's always an amazing feeling to catch up and have adult conversations with great minds.

4. My husband gave me a genius idea for a new tattoo and my fingers are itching to start sketching it out. It involves dream catchers and a peace sign and my inner hippie is delighted. My tattoo inspiration board pn pinterest just got bombarded.

5. Tonight I am heading to Ottumwa to the hot air balloon races and I am beyond ecstatic. Expect lots of photos soon.
