Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday, y’all!  Luckily, I’m out for fall break today and tomorrow 🙂  YAY!!!

This weekend was crazy busy (in a good way!) and I’m really glad I get two extra days to recoup from that!

Starting on Thursday night…

While our husbands were studying justification, we were hanging out!  It was nice to enjoy some one-on-one time with my friend Sarah and catch up on life.



Friday I pretended it wasn’t 89 degrees outside and dressed for fall…minus the shoes.  If it’s that hot out, I cannot wear boots.  Anyone with me?



Friday night was homecoming and we went to the game.  This picture was taken during the 4th quarter after I had moved to sit on the bleacher in front of us, and I was extremely tired!  #fridayteacherlife


Saturday morning the construction next door woke me up way earlier than I wanted to get up.  Dustin was already up, so I went to go find him and…

…found him outside staining the new rocking chairs we just bought!  He’s awesome!  I also wish I could have gotten a full outfit pic for y’all–hat, t-shirt, basketball shorts, and boots.



Later that morning I met my dad downtown for coffee at my favorite place.  



After grocery shopping, I met mom at my sister’s house while she was out of town to decorate the inside of her house for her birthday!  She was so surprised when she got home on Sunday 🙂



We watched the Alabama game at some friends’ house and this sweet girl talked non-stop.  She also played with my hair which was the BEST THING EVER!  She’s showing me her busted lip in this picture.


On Sunday…

Even though Rachel’s birthday isn’t until today, yesterday we had a birthday cookout for her 25th birthday at her house.



Sisters who don’t look alike ha!

There’s no such thing as a serious picture with Dustin as your husband!  Life with him is fun!

Weekend Recap!

Do you ever have a weekend where you feel like you need another weekend to recover?  That’s how I feel about this past weekend!  Saturday night I told Dustin how tired I was and it wasn’t even 9 PM and I’ve done nothing!  I told him I was tired from having nothing to do all day haha.

I’m starting our weekend on Thursday night when we relaxed on the couch and caught up on the last two episodes of Southern Charm.  I had been waiting on the dinner party at Thomas’s house since the first episode started out with that scene.  My thoughts on the end of the season:  I don’t like Landon, Cameron has turned into a mean girl, Katherine will always be crazy, Thomas too, Whitney is weird, Patricia is condescending but in a hilarious way, and Craig and Naomi are my all time favorites!
Friday morning I ran.  We’ve been under a heat advisory the entire weekend so even though it was below 80 at 7:15 in the morning, the humidity was at 3,000% so it made for a miserable and short 2 mile run.
 It was way too hot to take a picture outside!


Then to pass the time since D was at work, I went shopping.  I got two great tops from LOFT, a table runner from Home Goods, and ate lunch at my favorite grocery store, Earthfare!
 Lunch there never disappoints–I just wish it were closer to home.

Friday night we had Dustin’s work picnic at a local water park.  Remember how I said at 7:15 that morning the humidity was already at 3,000%??  Well, by 7:15 that night, it had increased to 603,475,927%.  Seriously.  I was miserable, in a romper, and way too hot to even take pictures.  I was ready to get home and take yet another shower and wash my hair yet again.


Saturday I went with my sister to pick up the dog she’s going to be fostering.  While we were out, we stopped at her friend’s new tiny home to see it.  I think she said it was around 400 sq ft?  This was my first tiny home to see in person!  The inside is SO cute and decorated how I would decorate.  I love her tiny home, but I could never live in one–Dustin would never fit!
Saturday night wasn’t picture-worthy.  I cooked dinner.  Dustin got home and we ate.  We both sat in the living room to be together but doing separate things–he watched the TCU and Coastal Carolina baseball game, and I watched Netflix on the laptop.  I’m sure laid back weekend nights become picture-worthy once we have children, right?

Sunday morning was church.  I wanted to capture what my hair looks like right after I tease it.  Next time I’ll leave it just like that 🙂  Isn’t it so attractive?

There was a bridal tea after church, so Rachel and I rode together.  Can you see how much she copies me?  Similar sunglasses, similar dress style, both wearing long necklaces and our OTBTs.
Just kidding!  
(Rachel will be so made that I wrote that haha!  But it’s my blog and I can!)



Then we met up with Dustin a few hours later after he got off work to eat Mexican.  Rachel and I spent a lot of time together this weekend, and I wouldn’t change that for anything.  I’m so happy that we live close and are so close!

Cruise to the Bahamas: Part 1

I have been anxiously awaiting this vacation since we booked it in February, and now that it’s come and gone, I can’t wait to share all of the details and my thoughts with y’all!

We left last Sunday afternoon since Dustin took off of work a couple of hours early and drove all the way to Tallahassee before we stopped for the night.  Why Tallahassee?  D wanted to see the Florida State football stadium ha!

The next day we headed out for Jacksonville, Florida, (our port) and ended up taking a little detour through Monticello, Florida.  My dad had stayed in a B&B a few years earlier and wanted us to swing through because it’s said to be haunted.  He actually wanted us to stop there for the night but…..no 🙂  We drove through some of the streets right off the square and the houses were gorgeous.
We made it to Jacksonville with a few hours to spare and had to make a stop at the Jaguars stadium.  My husband’s obsessed with sports if you can’t tell by now!  I actually had one up on him because I watched Alabama play Florida State in this stadium my sophomore year of college.

We walked the Jacksonville Landing because I had remembered it being fun after the football game.  Even though it was 11 AM, none of the restaurants were open.  It was so strange!  So we just walked around and sweated a bunch.

Once it got to be after noon, we boarded the ship and made our way to find our room…
 I had forgotten that we booked a room with portholes so that was a nice surprise!  Also our room was incredibly small, but that was okay because we were only in there to sleep and get ready for dinner.



 They were serving a buffet lunch in the buffet dining room.  I had eggplant and it really did taste good.  Each day was something different, and we ate breakfast here each morning.  Don’t you love how gaudy this place is decorated??


After lunch we had to go to our Muster area meeting place and watch the crew members correctly put on the life jackets.
And then we had to go practice outside.  That was totally fine with me–I want to be prepared in case we ever needed to use the lifeboats, but since our group was the first to go out on the deck, we had to stand in a single file line and wait on the rest of the ship to practice in their areas.  It. Was. HOT.

This is after we finished, and I’m probably telling Dustin to quit taking pictures and let’s go inside haha!
His favorite part of the room?  The window seat/large area? by the portholes.  

We had a horrible time getting our luggage to our room.  It took hours! We had a reserved dining time at 6 and our luggage literally didn’t come until 5:50, and that’s only because Dustin recognized my hot pink bags on the luggage cart down the hall and ran to go get them.
We quickly changed and ran to go find our dining room.

The official Day 1 of the cruise was at sea (I guess they don’t count the day you leave port). We spent that day laying out on one of the upper decks trying to feel the constant breeze.

Day 1 was also the formal night!  I stressed out over what I was going to wear and just ended up wearing my latest Lilly dress with my gold MK wedges.

I ordered roasted duck that night for dinner and it was awful!  I managed to eat 3 bites and then told Dustin I was going to have to go upstairs for pizza before we went to the show that night.   I’m giving their pizza a thumbs up!  It wasn’t the best pizza ever, but it was WAY better than the duck.
Every night there was a big production in the theatre area and most of the nights it was a type of musical.  Our first night to see one was the night that they performed songs by Beyonce, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga–any diva imaginable.  We’re not talking Broadway material by any means, but watching these shows gave us something to do each night after dinner.

I loved our towel animal that night!  Our stewardess must have known we were Alabama fans 😉

For those of you who may be cruising soon or even thinking of ever going on a cruise, what type of blog post would be helpful to you?  A list of pros/cons?  A packing list?  Tips?
