Last Night Was Better

As I am sitting here eating my lunch, I keep thinking how come this food was better last night. I think it is probably because it was reheated and kinda just turned to mush. But the corn bread was good! Maybe I should have skipped the whole lunch portion and gone straight for dessert. And as long as it contains some kind of chocolate, I am one happy camper!

I have to say that my sunglasses don't complement my outfit very well. I should have chose something that matched better but I was in a hurry and the sun was in my eyes! Should have seen the picture without the glasses. It didn't even look like I had eyes because they were so squinted.

Cake

 This past weekend Matt and I celebrated one my oldest friends, Melissa, 25th birthday! For the past couple of years, I have been making her cakes for her birthday. Last year I made a Batman cake for her but I know that she loves Bud Light so this year I tried something a little different. This cake wasn't the easiest to carve because it is difficult to get a cake/bottle to be the same on both sides. 

Well it turned out and everyone loved. It even had Oreo crumbs in the layers. Yummy!!!

Sweet Tooth

I got to say that I love skirts right now. Maybe it is because they are super comfy to wear or maybe it is because it has been almost in the 100s here. Good thing I work inside and don't have to deal with the heat on a day to day basis. But if I worked outside, a skirt really wouldn't be reasonable. Guess I shouldn't complain.

My sweet tooth got the best of me tonight. While making dinner, I thought that cookies sounded really good. So I made a new recipe that I found in one of my cookbooks. It is a oatmeal cookie bar with chocolate in the center. Yum yum I love chocolate and we have no other goodies in the house right now. I guess I will be set for the rest of the week with these bars.

Wedding Planning, Part 2

Wedding day is getting closer everyday and I know I still have like 8 months before it gets here. I just know it will go by fast. I have been really needing to get out some Save the Date cards to my family and friends. There is a problem though. I didn't find someone to take our engagement pictures till last week. My aunt said that she would take them this weekend coming up and I am super exctied about it. Only thing now is to find something to wear for them.

Here are some ideas that I love!

No Time To Rest


 (Shirt: Thrifted, Jeans: Target, Flats: Old Navy, Belt: Thrifted)

Man this weekend was a busy one. I feel like I barely had any down time. Here is how it goes. Friday I got to do some thrift shopping and only found a few things. Some of which are craft projects for the house. Now I just need to find time to do them.  We went camping Friday night just outside of Colorado Springs. It was fun and I got to have my favorite thing! S'mores!!!! Saturday we headed home to get ready to go to dinner with my family and the out to celebrate a friend's birthday. We got to dance and have some drinks. Sunday I had an appointment to try on wedding dresses and luckily I found the perfect one. It was the first one I tried on and loved it. Everyone else seemed to be in ahh of it too.
How was your weekend?
