All over the place.

Happy Tuesday, B-Loves!  AHH, we had a FABULOUS weekend and I have ZERO pictures to show for it because my camera all of the sudden stopped working!  I think I have it fixed now, which is a very good thing, BUT, not going to lie - I was looking at the situation as an indicator that maybe it’s time to invest in a delicious Canon Rebel!  We’ll see what happens.  :o)

Our weekend was spent wining and dining with new and fabulous friends!  We spent Friday night at the most A-MAZING sushi restaurant I have ever been to with a few of sweet Hubby’s co-workers.  Seriously, I wanted to bathe in the sauce that came on the special roll we ordered.  DIVINE.  Oh, and they had shumai with wasabi infused wonton paper.  Seriously?!  HEAVEN.  Saturday was spent shopping with my precious and amazing mommykins (I was SO good and only bought this awesome, cropped maroon leather jacket that we both agreed was a MUST-HAVE…I didn’t even buy any shoes!  Well I did, but not at Nordstrom and not on that day, so that doesn’t count, right?) and Saturday night sweet Hubs and I were invited over to our friends’ house for appetizers, mojitos and games with another new couple we have never hung out with.  So fun!  AH, I just loveee meeting new people.  Sunday after church I spent the day with two new, precious girlfriends from church.  We made lunch together, played games and spent the day chatting about all sorts of girly stuff until when my sweet hubby picked me up and we went to our couples’ bible study.  While I spent the day with my girlfriends, Hubby and Tucker had a man-date.  They went to a bird sanctuary and then to PetSmart together.  How cute is that?!  It’s pretty rare for us to have a weekend at home these days.  It was FABULOUS!

AND NOW…oh my goodness, I feel like everything is starting to tumble quickly into one thing after another.  BUT, it’s all exciting stuff.  This Thursday I leave for Chicago! I’m going for a nice, LONG weekend and am visiting my old stomping grounds and my precious lovie, Michelle.  I am THRILLED to spend the weekend loving on her and just having precious and much needed GIRL time.  AND, so excited to see everyone from there that I haven’t seen in so long.  I am thrilled!

Picture of us when I lived in Chi!  Ah, we were inseparable.  MISSSSS THIS GIRL!

A week from this Saturday, we are getting professional pictures taken with Tucker for our Christmas cards!  It’s pretty crazy how excited I am for this.  We really haven’t had professional pictures taken since our wedding and especially not with Tucker!  There is a park right next to our neighborhood that has old ruins situated throughout (it’s incredibly random) and it is the PERFECT site for a fun-filled afternoon of picture snapping.  Oh, and I’m super excited to wear my new, bright blue shoes. 

 

We rotate our holidays every year with which family we are spending it with, and this Thanksgiving we are with Hubby’s family.  Because of everything going on with his sweet father (prayers are still really appreciated!) we decided to go ahead and take over and host everyone at our house – we are ordering his mom to not lift a SINGLE finger.  EEEK!  So excited and honestly, SO nervous!  I have never before, in my whole life, made a Thanksgiving Turkey!  Thanksgiving is two weeks from Thursday and it is time for me to get cracking and start planning the menu.  I’m excited to tackle my family’s traditional recipes and am just praying I will come out on the end with no fires or burnt food, haha.  If you have any holiday recipes you think are to-die-for, please pass them on to me!

This post is incredibly random and all over the place, please excuse me.  It goes well with how my mind is right now – running rapidly wild!  Since I’m leaving for Chicago I will be taking a mini-vacay from blogging and will be back next week.  I can’t wait to show you a picture of my boys cooking me dinner the other night in celebration of a promotion I got at work!  YAY!  All that and pics from Chicago to come!!  If not from my feeble camera, then from Miche’s camera. 

Have an amazing week and weekend!
