Happy Tuesday! Does anyone else think it should be Wednesday already? I'm not sure if it's because I'm so excited about this weekend, or just that Monday was so long? 
This past weekend was so fun--hopefully I'll have a recap post up before the week is over. Are you getting excited about St. Patrick's day this weekend? What do you do to celebrate? I love having an excuse to get together with friends and just let loose :)
I'm blogging during my lunch break today, so this post will be short and sweet. Here's my currently list... ------- Currently I am...
Listening...to the printer on my desk. Eating lunch at your desk is lovely, I tell you :) I wish I was listening to music, but we aren't allowed to stream and ain't nobody got time for a dead iPhone battery.
Eating...leftovers from last night. Healthy wheat pasta and veggies. We are finally taking the extra steps to getting healthy in our house!
Drinking...Water! Trying to put down as much of that as possible during the day. No more sprite or tea.
Wearing...My trusty ol' black cardigan, black tights, and a bright pink skirt. Hello Spring! I'm also rocking my fave black wedges.
Feeling...Happily overwhelmed. Everything is just so busy, but I am not letting it totally take over mentally. I am happy that time seems to be moving quickly lately (I can't wait to be a Mrs.!), but it seems everyone else is equally as busy. I miss the slowed down version of life...and I definitely miss my closest friends.
Wanting...The weekend to get here! I can't wait to get out of town for a bit, catch up with my BFF and have a fun time with our friends (and celebrate St. Patty's day!).
Thinking...About my favorite people. I have had some bride guilt lately. Lately a LOT of what I think/talk about revolves around the wedding (naturally, unfortunately), and I hate that I might have forgotten that other people have lives too. If I have talked your ear off about the wedding and forgotten to ask how YOU were, I apologize.
Enjoying...The sunshine! I love that I have a window right in front of my desk, so I get to see the sunshine (but also the rain, when it's here). It helps make the day enjoyable :)
Thankful For...My friends and family--they've done so much for my sanity over the last few months. AND My time with Ryan everyday. After our pre-marital counseling I really felt closer to him. It's strange how little things like that can make a big difference. ------- What are you currently?

Check, check. Is this thing on??

Oh my goodness. Blogging. It feels like ages since the last time I wrote a post. Probably because it has been ages since the last one! I am working on getting back into a groove with blogging and such. Naturally things were busy with the holidays, but we threw a few more projects (including moving and more wedding planning) into the mix to max our our time. That's just how we roll :)
I hope everyone has been doing well and enjoying the beginning of the new year. We really enjoyed seeing our families, taking advantage of  family cooking, and just being with our favorite people. That's what the holidays are all about!
I'll try to do a week of update/recap posts to catch myself up...and until then, I'll leave you with a few pics of what's been happening around here.

Halloween Recap!

Happy Monday ladies! I hope y'all had a great weekend! This past weekend was super eventful around here.

As you know, this coming Wednesday is Halloween--so we decided to celebrate with a spooky party at our friend's cabin. Ryan and I with our friends James and Kim spent the afternoon decorating and prepping for everyone to arrive! We had a great time putting up spooky cobwebs and making yummy treats.

 

Aren't these cupcakes so cute?!

Thanks for the idea, Pinterest! We put a strobe light inside too...super creepy!

Before we knew it everyone was there and having a blast! Lots of yummy drinks, good spooky music, and some hilarious costumes! With the exception of a small accident or two (everyone had the falling down syndrome?) I'd like to think the party was an A+ success!
Here are some of the costumes...

The boy and I: Zombie Bride and Vince the Slap Chop infomercial guy!

Hermione, Casino Card girl, Sugar Skull, Zombie Bride,
Egyptian, Indian, Katniss, Hunter

------- Have you done anything for Halloween yet? What are you dressing up as this year?   P.s. I'm linking up with Sami for the weekend update blog hop!

Triple Travel

A few weeks ago I mentioned going out of town for a bit. Well, being out of town for a bit turned into travelling 9 out of 10 straight days. 

Shew, that was tough!
We visited Ryan's brother and sister-in-law for a Mumford & Sons concert.   With my new job I got to travel to California for a few days. When I returned to TN we continued on to Alabama to visit with a close friend.

If you shop at Trader Joe's I suggest trying these little guys. 

The beautiful drive to Bristol, where the concert was. I <3 TN

 

Our awesome Mumford ticket book.

What a view! 

Doesn't he look like he's excited? {note my sarcasm}

A street in Bristol, state street, is the state line!

State street, the state line between TN and VA!

We had yummy cupcakes at Shelbee's Vintage Cafe in Bristol.

 

Some vintage tobacco jars...

More vintage containers in the local cigar shop.

Isn't he cute?

The Mumford stage. Such a GREAT show!

This is what a 5:50 am flight looks like :)

Almost there! The west coast is so much different than TN. 

Some amazing coffee. 

The weather was perfect :)

I met Mickey! 

We stayed close to Disney, so we saw/heard their nightly fireworks.

Of course I had to Skype with both of my boys while I was gone!

I tried coconut water for the first time. And last time. Yuck!

Doesn't everyone start the weekend off with a margarita?
This was my 1st beer-garita.

The boys. Out at our favorite bar in Birmingham.

The boy's best man :)

You have to have brunch on a rainy Saturday morning..

And what's a grown up brunch with out bloody marys...
and chocolate milk?

Noms.

My favorite :)

I had a great time each place I went, but it was SO nice to take several naps after getting back home.  Where's the last place you traveled?
P.s. Today I'm guest posting on Jessica's Blog {Before The I Do's}. Swing by to read some of my wedding planning tips!
