Makes me happy

Lately every time I hear this new song it just makes me happy no matter where I am at. One of those catchy songs you love it the first time you hear it and are humming it all day long and you stay in the car to finish it before you get out. Its Jason Mraz's "I'm yours".

Made me think how happy I am about things like that, no matter how simple they are, those things you love from the first moment. Like friends that you click with off the bat, a great shirt or pair of shoes, falling in love with a puppy you take home, meeting my nieces when they first arrived to the world, picking up a great book you can't put down, stepping into your first home that you both love right away, first day on a job that you know was ment for what your suppose to be doing, first kiss from that person you know you will love for rest of your life, first visit to a church you know feels like home right away...

I know a lot of things in life are hard at first and worth the struggle but I love the other times when things you love and know are so good are that way from the first moment. I am currently reading "Blink" which is a book about your gut and this immediate process that take place that we should trust more than we do that tell us right away about things. Those initial responses are often crazily accurate. I love how God forms us, shapes and gives us this gifts that we get to keep unwrapping.

A new addition to my favorite things.

This is one of the most fabulous new finds I've made in a while. They are absolutely delicious and perfect for that sweets craving but each one is only 90 calories!

Jen and Misa's Wedding!

Thursday Afternoon: The events began of course long before the wedding with manicures and pedicures for all the girls:


Thursday Evening: Rehearsal Dinner

Me and Allie

Friday Lunch: Bridal Luncheon at the Tea Room.

Friday Evening: The Wedding!

Can't hardley believe it but the day has come and gone for my sister's wedding, I made it through the wedding pretty well with minimal tears until Misa gave the girls a lockets and said the sweetest promises to them, I was pretty much a gonner after that. Overall it was a wonderful celebration, a new chapter and I was blessed to be a part of it.

Book Club, book #1 Review

We had our first offical book club review and dinner. We had a great time reviewing and discussing in depth our first read: The Time Travelers Wife. I haven't laughed this much in a while. It was great company and exactly what I needed going into the rest of the week. The book was discussed with mixed reviews. I was a big fan of the book up until about 3/4's of the way in when it took some crazy turns, there are some explicit parts I could have done without but overall a great read of a love story that you can't help but need to know the end to and keep turning the pages till you get there. The movie will be out in December, which the book club will be taking a field trip too. Our next pick is The Lovely Bones. Here are our picture of how we liked the book:

Sunburn, Soar and So not ready to go back to work!

I had a fun and hot but relaxing weekend at the lake with friends and yes we did something wild and crazy and camped in Tents in the last week in July in Oklahoma. Your only in your 20's once, right?

I hadn't water skied in about 11 years! but got up on the first try, yay!

The wonderful guys that cooked our meals and set up and broke down camp for us. This the way to do camping girls!


The girls soaking up the sun! What this weekend was all about: Sun, Fun and Friends

Lost and Found

Well this was some of my excitment last week when Ryan was out of town. Rory and I went for a jog one night and ran across this cute little guy. We made posters and put them up that night in our neighborhood, he stayed the night with us and by the next night we found his home, good thing, too because he was way cute!! Thing was his owner was going to be gone till late at night. So he asked me to "drop" him over the fence into his backyard well this took a little creative thinking and inventing on my part as he has a 10 foot privacy fence so I brought a bucket with me and stood on it while I made this other contraption attached to bungee cords that I lowered the little guy over in. I am sure is quite a sight to see, but now he is safe at home where he belongs.

Forgot to bring my Camera along...

I forgot to take pictures of my weekend but anyway here's the run down. I just love weekends, I know everyone does but no matter how stressful the week I love re-charging over the weekend with food, friends and relaxing fun!

Friday: Our friends Matt and Daicia were in town from Houston, enjoyed dinner with them at hideway pizza then the girls came to my house and we rented The Other Bohlen Girl and the boys went and saw the new Batman movie.

Saturday: My mom came to town and Jen and I took her out to eat at inspirations tea room for lunch to celebrate her birthday. Saturday night Ryan cooked me a wonderful dinner of grilled shrimp, okra and mushrooms. It was yummy!!

Sunday: Went to lunch at Fazoli's with Daicia and Matt and Friends. Enjoyed a long afternoon of a combination of napping and being productive. Sunday Evening went to dinner at Chilli's with friends again and then went to Braums to continue the visiting and the fun.
