Weekending | 3.29 Alex's Birthday

my weekend... 

This weekend I went to Raleigh to hang out with my family + Jack and to celebrate Alex's 24th birthday {pics are on my parents camera). I had just gotten back earlier in the week (3/24) from my amazing trip to Puerto Rico {will have more on the blog later this week} and I was excited to share about my travels with my family. 

what I loved about my weekend: FOOD

Making chicken {the way Lyndsey did down in PR} for my parents. #iCanCook

Sushi Date Night at Mura

Family Time + working on the layout of my parents new house

New Necklaces.

Ben and Jerry's The Tonight Dough. Simply Amazing.

NCAA Tournament: I had Duke, like most, in the Final Four, BUT I also had Michigan State... I think I might be the only one who did!!

The Podcast: Serial.

Watching Alex eat his 1.6 lb T Bone steak Jack and I got him for his birthday #brolovesfood

Relaxing.

How was your weekend?

TWO|A new Boyfriend

I picked up this Poplin Boyfriend Shirt a few weeks ago at Old Navy and LOVE it. It’s a perfect shirt to pack for my trip next week AND it’s on sale right for $20.00 + and extra 30% off Sale with code ONSAVE. I am thinking about getting the pink pin striped I’m a 4/6 and I ordered a small.

THREE|Chips and Salsa

This week some of my Life Group gals and I celebrated our birthday of our friend, Allison. We had dinner, drinks, and lot’s o chip and salsa at Cantina 1511.

FOUR|Season Finale- The Bachelor 2015

I absolutely love watching The Bachelor and have loved watching all 19 seasons of the show, owning it! I was so happy that Chris proposed to Whitney and think that they are going to have a wonderful life together. I was somewhat disappointed by the announcement of the “Never in Bachelor History”  of having two Bachelorettes. I thought it was going to be a dramatic twist at the end of the show where Chris did something crazy, but nope! It will be interesting to see what happens with the two bachelorettes, especially putting the 25 men on night one with the ultimate say about who they think will make the best wife.  The next show will premiere on May 18 on ABC. #willyouacceptthisrose

FIVE|Jack-Jack

Thursday Thoughts with ETB | 3.12

I think...

I am unsure about the comeback of JNCO Jeans—anybody with me? #hello90s

these 80+ degree Charlotte days are making life so much enjoyable especially with the time change  

Aldi & Trader Joe’s are two of my most favorite places to get groceries –try Aldi out if you haven’t yet 

I really like the Aldi Intermingle California Red Blend Wine + its only $5.99 {prices may vary due to state & local laws} #takethattwobuckChuck

I’m going to Puerto Rico one week from today!! – I think I need to start packing

you should know that my brother and I live less than 2 miles apart, which makes it super convenient to have sibling nights

I am going to drink something green this weekend -- Maybe beer, maybe a smoothie #happyStPattysDay

linking up with Meagan has been a JOY of mine on Thursdays—you should link up too

              It's Thursday...and I am linking up with: Meagan

Thursday Thoughts with ETB

I think...

it’s time for me to get a new iPhone, its becoming hard to find an iPhone4 charger—thank you apple

where did February go? It’s almost March, which means spring forward… wahhh

snow days need to happen more often--- I LOVE when everyone gets out of their normal routine, slows down, and can play together outside thanks to the snow #lifemovestoofast

sparking / mineral water especially when in a wine glass makes me happy

booking my flight to Puerto Rico is getting me through the next few weeks #ineedavacation

being an adult is hard work, between bills, practices, meals, work, and everything else it is tough. Can someone tell me how to get it all done?

Ed Sheeran is AHHMazing. I don’t care what all you haters say #thinkingoutloud
