5 for Friday!

Hi, lovies!

 Have you been enjoying the wedding posts? I’ve sure been enjoying posting them. I plan to do a post on the honeymoon as well, but I figured since it’s 1) Friday and 2)November 1^st, I’d do a 5 for Friday of all of the many wonderful things going through my head this Friday.

First, let’s start with a week recap, since all I’ve been doing is lazily uploading pictures.

Monday night…{it’s sad that I have to think so hard to try and remember what I did on Monday…I’m getting old..}  Oh yes, nothing too fun. I cleaned, cooked dinner, took a bubble bath…that’s about all folks! Typical, uneventful Monday night.

Tuesday  night we had a going away dinner for a co-worker of mine. We all went out to dinner at BWW, and Charles tagged along as the world’s most handsome date. He hasn’t really gotten to meet my coworkers, so it was a good chance for him to do so. We had a blast! It’s fun to hang around people you work with in a different setting {it’s how Charles and I fell in love..}

Wednesday night – The night before Halloween! It started off with my awesome sissy bringing me a Starbucks drink and some breakfast! After work, I rushed home to put some baked potato soup {that homemade recipe I posted a few weeks ago..divine} in the crockpot to bring to my old next door neighbors because her husband {and the kids father} passed away. My mom and sister and my mom’s best friend all brought food to go with it, so we were able to provide them with a full dinner and got to indulge in some great conversation with them. It’s also a tradition that my mom and I make Dirt Cake the night before Halloween and watch The Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. We have done it since I was little and this year was no different. We had a blast, my sister and Ann even jumped in this year!

 

Thursday night {HALLOWEEN!}: Charles and I cooked dinner, had a few cocktails, and watched Monsters University {his choice, and SO adorable}. We only got one trick or treater and I was super bummed. The church down our street does Trunk or Treat so all of the neighborhood kids go to that instead. Note to self, change neighborhood…

 

Now that we are all caught up…here goes 5 for Friday!

{ONE}

My Sweetie Pie Nephew!! I haven’t gotten to meet him yet, but I will soon. Here’s some of the latest photos I have of this cutie pie! I love him already.

Houses, houses, houses! Charles and I are starting the staging process for getting our house ready to rent or sell, and looking at houses to purchase. We are weighing all of our options and are having a blast! It’s been hard work making sure our house is up to par for the selling process, and will continue to be difficult. We have a meeting with a realtor in a few weeks to they can tell us exactly what we need to get out of the house, how to stage it, if anything needs to be fixed, etc. It’s a very exciting time in our life and I can’t help but smile to think about the possibilities in a new home!

{THREE}

The holidays! My holiday bucket list will be up soon, and I can’t stop thinking about the greatest time of year! It’s November 1^st, y’all! When did THAT Happen? It’s insane how fast this year has gone by. In fact, one year ago tomorrow, Charles proposed to me. Now, I’m his wife! I have a lot of great holiday ideas in store, so stay tuned. My heart is a little happier, my family is a little closer, people are a whole lot friendly, clothes are a whole lot cuter..I’ll go on if you’d like. These holiday feelings are real, y’all.

You might need to sit down for this one. This product has kind of saved my life.

Let’s back up.

Whenever I get out of the shower {even though I keep a wide tooth comb in the shower and make sure I have no tangles when I get out of the shower}, my hair turns into some knotted mess in about 3.1434554 seconds. I cringe every time I look at my comb after I try to get the tangles out of my wet hair {no matter how much product I put in it to prevent that very thing…sigh}. I don’t care what they say, wide tooth combs still cause pain when trying to detangle my hair, and I still think I lose way.too.much hair when detangling. Let me introduce to you my very new BFF in the hair world.

Introducing the Conair Wet Dry detangling brush. I didn’t think such a miracle brush could ever be possible but it just is. It detangles my hair, doesn’t pull, and works on wet and dry hair! It’s AMAZING. If you don’t go get one right now, shame on you. It’s incredibly inexpensive {I think about $5 at Wal-Mart} and you just won’t be sorry. My hair thanks me every day and I no longer dread leaving the shower and combing my hair. You’re welcome in advance.

 

{FIVE}

It’s the freakin’ weekend baby I’m about to have me some fun. What a throwback.

Charles and I plan on taking advantage of this beautiful fall weather and grilling out with some new friends! Can’t beat making memories like that. Tomorrow, after I sing at a funeral for our dear neighbors, we are making the trip up to Fayetteville to see Charles’ grandmother and to tailgate! Then we will be heading to a friend’s house to watch the HOG game! Fun times with fun friends in store.

Sunday will most likely be spent getting the house in order. We are trying to go through each room one by one to get all of the unnecessary items out and throw away junk that we have saved due to our hoarder ways {I blame this on Charles.}

 

I hope you all have a BLESSED and relaxing weekend!
