Happy Friday afternoon ya'll! Hope this week treated you well! So here's some things I learned this week:
1. Taking a physics class at 8 in the morning during the summer is a very bad idea.
2. I am not a morning person. Ok so I already knew this, but it seems to have gotten worse this summer.
3. It's ok to try new things. I have gone to the same nail place for the past 5 years. Lately I haven't been very happy with the salon and I finally got brave enough to try a new place today. And I am so glad I did!
4. I have an un-natural obsession with old episodes of Beverly Hills 90210. They come on SoapNet every morning and afternoon. It's starting to drive Gabe crazy haha.
5.Melatonin supplements really do help you sleep at night. I'll write more on that later though.
That's it for me today. We have a relaxing weekend planned filled with pool time, movies and wine. We also have my brothers birthday party on Sunday. I hope ya'll have a fabulous weekend!

Happy Birthday to my baby brother!
Today my little brother is 11 years old. I can't believe that sweet little baby brother of mine is growing up so fast! It seems like just yesterday I was 11 and my Dad and Step-mom were telling me over dinner that there would be a new baby that summer. I was more concerned if we were still going to get a pool at our new house :)
Happy Birthday Chase! I hope you have a wonderful day and please quit growing up so fast! :)

Dream House Ideas- Wine Cellars
Well hello! I hope ya'll are having a wonderful Tuesday. I must say I had an absolutely wonderful weekend and even a pretty good Monday and Tuesday. School started yesterday bright and early at 8 am and while, yes my class is boring, I'm glad to have some structure in my life again.
Anyway as I've stated before I'm obsessed with home decor and I'm always thinking about my dream house that I will build one day. One thing I would love to have in my dream home is a wine cellar. Gabe and I are wine people. We love trying new wines and always have quite a few bottles on hand for when company comes over. A simple wine rack in the kitchen isn't enough for us. Here's a few wine cellars I'm drawing inspiration from:
How fabulous would it be to have one of these in your home? If I had one, I would invite you all over for a girls night and wine tasting :)

The end of my summer break is here already :(
So today was my last official day of summer break. Yes, I still have this weekend, but it's just not the same. Monday morning starts a whole two months of 8:00 classes and labs. I am NOT looking forward to it. But, it's probably a good thing that I will be getting some structure in my life because I have been extremely lazy the past month. But I did get to read a few books and catch up on sleep. I did not get to live at the pool like I thought I would though. Oh well, there's always weekend right? :)
Tonight we have plans to go out for my friend Catherine's birthday. It should be a fun night of catching up with all of our college friends. Tomorrow, Gabe and I are going to Little Rock for lunch and to do a little shopping for him. I like shopping for Gabe almost as much as I like shopping for myself. Then Sunday, weather permitting, I can hopefully get some pool time in before the dreaded Monday morning.
Totally switching topics, I was so upset to hear that the oil is starting to wash up on the beaches in Gulf Shores, AL. For most of my life my family has vacationed there every summer. I feel like those beaches are a second home to me. We've been through hurricanes and tropical storms together and always come out alright. But this oil disaster is something totally different. It may be years before things are back to normal. I can't help but get depressed when I think about all of the birds, fish, dolphins, and other sea life that are affected by this. I feel so helpless in this situation. And I am absolutely furious at BP for not doing more.
Anyway, sorry to end on such a depressing note. I hope all of ya'll have a great weekend!

New apartment, SATC2, Memorial Day Weekend, and catching up with ya'll.
Well hello there! I can't believe I went an entire week without blogging, but the move took longer than we thought it would. We are entirely moved in now though and ALMOST unpacked. I have yet to get to the guest room/workout room though. So far I'm loving the new place. I have a few pictures, but please keep in mind I really haven't had time to actually decorate. We are also in the process of getting rid of our college furniture and buying new, grown up furniture :)
The living room. I'm needing something for the wall and some things for the book shelves. We're hoping to get new living room furniture this year.
Gabe has also decided we need a bigger living room TV because this one looks so small in the new apartment.
Our new bedroom furniture! It's actually way to big for the apartment and we couldn't fit the night table in. I don't care if in gigantic though because it's gorgeous and I'm loving my new king size bed!
So our memorial day weekend was pretty low key. Friday we were still busy unpacking. Saturday was a little more unpacking, then Gabe had to help one of our friends move. Poor thing, I know he had to have been so tired of moving by the end of this week. Saturday night we went to eat at Bonefish and then went to see:
Sex and the City 2. I have to say, I actually walked out disappointed. And this broke my heart because I love SATC so much. I mean I have literally seen every episode of the series at least 10 times and watch the first movie and least twice a month. I don't really know what it was about this movie that I didn't like. I was annoyed by Carrie and actually all of the other girls too. I also missed the girls actually being in the city. And that karaoke scene was beyond cheesy. I'm still pretty bummed out about not loving it. :(

I have no pictures because as I've told ya'll before I'm super paranoid about dropping my camera in the lake. But we had a great time and got some sun.
Monday we went to my grandparents house for a cookout and some much needed family time.
I hope all of ya'll had a great long weekend! I've been busy catching up on everyone's blogs this morning. I'm also hoping to be a better blogger for the rest of the summer. I have to turn in my senior portfolio tomorrow and I start summer school next Monday. I'm actually kind of excited about returning to class. A month of doing nothing has been bad for me! Have a great hump day ya'll!
