Bachelorette Party!

Last weekend two of my friends and I threw our good friend Becky a shower/bachelorette party.  We started the night with your typical bridal shower happenings-food, drinks, games, and gift opening.  After the bridal shower was over we moved the party downstairs where the night was about go from PG to R!  Becky opened her bachelorette themed gifts complete with breaks for jello shots and then we played a game of pin the *beep* on the hunk.  We then headed to downtown Stillwater for bar hopping and more party shenanigans.  It was SO fun for everyone to let loose and to have a good portion of our girlfriends together and having way too much fun, if that's even possible.  I wish I would have taken more pictures of the bridal shower but let's be honest, the bachelorette party pictures is where it's really at!

 

 

 

 

Happy, Happy, FRIDAY!

Bring on Fall!

Tonight, I am in my happy place....
 
The weather is finally "fallish"-Tator Tot Hot Dish is in the oven-Fall scented candle is burning-Dark/Fall colored nail polish is on my nails-And I think I hear Pumpkick beer calling my name now...

Pumpkick- Candles- Nail Polish


 I walked into Bath and Body Works with the plan of taking advantage of their 2/$22 candle deal+20% off coupon I had and I walked out with three candles and a fall scented lotion.  There was no possible way for me to choose only 2 candles, all of the scents were amazing!

The Tator Tot Hot Dish I made could not get any easier.  K and our friend that ate with us both raved about it and that's saying a lot!  Here's the recipe:

Ingredients:

• 1-8 oz. container of sour cream
• 1 can cream of chicken soup
• 2 tsp. onion salt OR 1 small chopped onion
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1-32 oz bag of tator tots
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• Salt and pepper

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Mix together sour cream, cream of chicken soup, onion or onion salt, and cheddar cheese
• Stir in tator tots
• Pour into 9x13 pan
• Pour melted butter over hot dish
• Bake for 45 minutes

Happy (almost) Fall!

GroopDealz Obsession

I have a new obsession. It's called GroopDealz. I'm in love and I'm not ashamed.  This website has great deals but you have to jump on them quickly because they only last 24-48 hours.  Most the shipping costs are around $1.99-$2.50. Today was my favorite day, there were two things I could not pass up. 

This camo and lace scarf, camo is way in this fall and paired with lace it's just everything.

Buy yourself one for $6.99!
 

And this, steal of a deal for being personalized..

Buy here.

Happy Shopping!

I said YES to the dress!

On Saturday, I went to look at dresses for the second time.  I went to The Wedding Shoppe after finding several on their website that I liked. The minute I met the lady who would be helping me try on dresses I could tell she was not the friendliest little peach.  She wasn't listening to what I was saying and when I showed her the dresses on THEIR website that I liked she bashed them and me. rude.  There came a point where I felt like I wanted to be done for the day and that's when it happened. Two more dresses were brought in for me to try on and the first one ended up being THE ONE.  My first thought? "You're real lucky rude woman, reeeeal lucky." 

The shop had just gotten my dress in three days earlier and it was added to their Saturday Sample Sale, which means I got an AMAZING deal on a dress that was originally way over my budget.  I get to pick up the dress at the end of this month, who wants to place bets on how many times I'll try it on before the wedding?

After all was said and done my mom, sisters, niece, and I went to Dixie's for apps, dessert, and cocktails to celebrate. 

Look at those sweet sunglasses my mom is wearing. She bought them without trying them on only to realize when she got home how completely ridiculous they actually looked. I say rock em'!

Happy Tuesday (friendly) Peaches!

The New Parents and Baby Mason

My heart swells just thinking about this couple and their new baby boy. Seriously, my heart might burst.

Kalie and I grew up living just a bike ride away from each other, we went to school together, and even worked together. We wore matching outfits to school, went on family trips with each other, had sleepovers every single weekend, went to sleep away camp (hatched a plan to leave early and succeeded) and were called peanut butter and jelly.  You get the point right? 

Let's move onto Blake, my classmate, my friend, then Kalie's boyfriend->fiance->husband, and now sweet Mason's daddy.  Oh dear that boy, there are very few people who have made me laugh as often and as hard as Blake has.  We have had an equally close bond through the years and Kal and him as a couple make me so unbelievably happy.

When Kalie told me she was pregnant I literally did a happy dance, oh yes I did.  I will say though, I still don't feel like we are old enough to be getting married and having babies.  We are grown ups, when did that happen?

I desperately wish I had the OLD pictures of us on this computer but I don't so we will go as far back as 8 years:)  I'm probably saving you all from the sore sight of a couple of teenagers dressed alike in some sweet wind pants...a shared rain coat and cowboy hats will have to do...

 

 

Mason is the perfect mix of Kalie and Blake, I am SO in love with this little man.

    

True.That.
