HAPPY MARCH!

When did it get to be MARCH?! What in the world?! lol. Time is seriously flying. and look! it's only been 2 weeks since I blogged! Thats like a record these days :D So here are my "Friday Favories" from the past two weeks :D

1) I GOT A  NEW PHONE! Praise the Lord. Seriously. Ever since my Iphone 5 got stolen FOREVER ago- I've been using John's old IPhone 4. and let me tell you. It was hanging.on. by.a.thread. It wouldnt hold a charge, took years to load, and started to randomly turn on and off by itself. Then I dropped it and shattered the screen. In Food Lion. I may or may not have yelled something inappropriate (sorry Mom). BUT it was really time for new phones, so it was kind of a blessing in disguise. Now I have an Iphone 6 and John got the Plus! So exciting. While his wasnt super old, he still very much needed an upgrade. We are VERY happy campers :D Our cases took a few days to come in (we didnt want to pay store price when you can pay a fraction of it online) so it felt like I was playing with fire having it not protected for a few days. Luckily, I managed to not drop it and crack it. :D

One of our first pics with the new phone :D

2) Snow days- I hate the snow. That is not why this is a favorite. BUT it did give me and John for the first time in I dont even remember a few snow days together! He's always worked at WRAL, which requires him to work when it snows and it didnt snow in Miami- so this year with our new jobs, we BOTH GOT SNOW DAYS! :D They were awesome. The snow not so much, it was more like ice and rain anyways where we live, but it was nice to have a few days off together :D YAY! I love that we both have jobs that allow for us to be home during bad weather. I also may or may not have gotten the Mustang stranded one day last week and John may or may not have had to come rescue me :D Luckily, I have a sweet man who will do those things for me :D We managed to get it to Johns work and then were able to get it the next day before more bad weather hit. 

When I got the 'Stang stranded it was because I followed Waze and it took me some back roads that were quicker to ice. :( This is 540- I was the only one on it!

 I got to a parking lot safe and there just happened to be a Starbucks in it! :D So I got some while I waited for John to come rescue me :D

 We got more snow on Tuesday, everywhere else got it bad on Thursday.

Even though I'm not much of a fan of the stuff, snow does make everything pretty :D 

3) HOUSE OF CARDS- WHAT WHAT?! We have been bingeing on Season 1 and 2 this week in prep for season 3! :D

4) Cracked Drain Pipe? Again, not a favorite. the favorite is that it ended up being not busted!!! We got down to 0 degree temps recently and one day after basketball John came home and tried to shower in our bathroom and the shower wouldnt drain. womp. We went under the house and there was an icicle hanging from the pipe. We got thawed and luckily we couldnt find a leak. We had the builder check too and he couldnt find anything either. We were afraid it was gunna cost us a pretty penny :( BUT it didnt. We'll still keep an eye on it, but hopefully we are outta the woods on this one!

5) Walk-thru- 4 months later and we finally had our walk-thru with our builder. He is NOT my favorite person and can actually be pretty rude sometimes. Luckily, he was nice when he finally decided to show up at our house for our inspection (2 hours late). He fixed a few things for us- our list wasnt long- and told us how we could fix some others. Luckily, there was nothing major on our list to begin with, but it was nice he did fix a few minor things. I'm honestly just glad to be done with it. It was hanging over our heads for far too long.

6) WE BEAT UNC! IN THEIR HOUSE! Woot woot! Oh yea! we may have lost TERRIBLY to BC right afterwards :( but that's normal NC State crap. I'll take the win over UNC any day though! :D

WOOHOO!

 Carter passed out on Andrew during the game. lol

7) Brewing- we brewed beer for the first time in FOREVER! We are making a Belgian Triple! Krystal and Josh had a brew day at their house and had a few friends over. Andrew also brewed. It was fun and now our beer is fermenting! We are gunna keg for the first time with this batch thanks to Krystal and Josh! I cant even remember if I posted about us buying a keezer, but we did! lol. It needs to be repaired, we think there is a leak in the coolant line (this is Johns territory) but the deal was too good to pass up. So hopefully, we'll get that working soon and then we can keg at our house!

8) Instagram- I'm a little late to the party. But for some reason when we got our new phones, we both joined. lol. I can see the addiction people have it! you can follow me now :D

Of course my first pic was of Carter and Bailey! :D

9) TGIT- GIRLS NIGHT! I love love love having Krystal and Josh so close! We get to watch Scandal together on Thursdays and the boys go and play basketball! I feel so blessed! :D 

10) Bailey's birthday! We've always been so far apart from Krystal and Josh that we have never gotten to celebrate Bailey's birthday with her on her actual bday. Well this year we did!! Just another perk of them LIVING RIGHT DOWN THE STREET!

11) Valentines day!- We ended up spending it with Krystal and Josh and then ran into some friends, which turned into a spontaneous dance party at our house. It was SO much fun. We ordered Chinese since we were having people come over and made our steak and salmon another night that same week. Which was delicious :D

That's all for now y'all! :D
