Friday Favorites

Say what?! It's not actually Friday..BUT IT IS MY FRIDAY! :D I am SO excited about that. I mentioned we have a few things going on this weekend and besides all that I am just exhausted. haha. So here are my favorites from the week because I will be too busy to do them on Friday :D

1) Shoe shopping- I mentioned I went shoe shopping with my mother-in-law yesterday. It was definitely a highlight of the week.

2) Movies- John and I have been able to watch a bunch of movies lately. I forgot how much I enjoy watching them! We watched Now You See Me this past week- really good!

3) Weather- The weather has been amazing lately. I love the fall and this week has been perfect fall weather. Sunny most of the time, cool in the mornings and evenings and a great temperature during the day! I wish it would stay like for a long time, but I know winter is coming. bahahaha (For all you Game Of Thrones people) But seriously, cold weather will be here soon, so I have to enjoy the weather the way it is now!

4) House- Our house is scheduled to be finished next week! We get to do our walk-thru next Thursday at 1pm. SO excited! We'll get to have them go through the house and fix whatever we think needs done. I cant believe we are only 2 weeks away!! At the same time I feel like it's taking forever. haha :D

5) Brier Creek- We are getting our car worked on this week, so we are sharing until it's done. So I walked across the street this past week to look for shoes! I didnt end up finding any until yesterday- haha. But I did find some new clothes! I love that we can walk across the street right now for anything! I'll miss that for sure. But it's fun while I can :D

Anyway, have a good week! :D

On my mind today...

Few things on my mind today:

Timing- If I wake up just a little bit earlier, even TWO minutes, I feel like I have SO much more time in the mornings. It's just 2 minutes, so really? But it's true. Not sure how, but it's totally worth. I made myself get up two minutes earlier than I planned this morning and everything went more smoothly. I need to do this more often. haha But really I need to get up even earlier. I'd really like to start reading my bible before work- good way to start the day.

Scents- It's amazing out certain scents remind you of specific things. Some of my perfumes and body sprays really do this! I was putting on some pear lotion from bath and body works and it really reminds me of starting this job last winter. My Dolce and Gabana perfume will always remind me of when I student taught. I know that this happens to everyone, but I just found it interesting this morning. Every time I wear the pear stuff I think back to wearing it last winter. haha.

Mother-in-law- I am beyond blessed to have such an amazing mother-in-law. I have a great father-in-law too! But most people always hear of difficulties between the wife and mother-in-law. I dont have any difficulties with mine. In fact, I LOVE to spend time with her. She is so funny, down to earth, kind, and just one of the sweetest ladies you will ever meet. She will do anything for you at any time. I find this to be uncommon among most people I know, so I feel very lucky. I got to shopping with her for shoes last night and I just really enjoy her company. She is really easy to talk to and I really love our conversations. Anyway, I'm glad to be apart of that family and have these people in my life. I couldnt imagine my life any other way.

This weekend- Is going to be C.r.A.z.Y. Julie is getting married! yay! so we will get to do lots of fun wedding festivities and see lots of family! So there is a LOT to do for the wedding. And John and I are both in it. This weekend also happens to be energy saver tax free weekend on appliances. Well we happen to need to buy a fridge and washer and dryer. We've been looking constantly, but the prices change every week. So we have to go narrow down what we want and make these purchases this weekend. So, there is just a little bit going on. haha. I'm excited about it all! Just going to be busy.
