InstaFriday and my week in review

This was just going to be a post of the past weeks Instagram pics, 

but then I realized that I didn't Instagram all that much....

So, it's just turning into a random spattering of pictures.

Some Instagram,

Some not.

Some boring.

Some delicious.

and some very cute.

Starting with last Thursday...

I got together with some girls from work to assemble 

carekits for Heart to Heart International.

My friend Amy is quite the hostess and turned our

volunteer time into a dinner party. She fixed us all a 

yummy Italian dinner...the cherry on top was this

little cutie Savannah, my friend Cathi's daughter!

10 months old and so much fun!

Friday

Friday I met my mom, sister and Alicia in the Westbottoms 

for another month of First Fridays!  Alicia and I had plans

for fried pickles and cheese fries afterwards so I purposefully

headed out with on empty stomach...

this unfortunately just led to me being tired, hot and hungry so

we only stayed for about 2 hours and then had a 

long awaited rendezvous with Tomfooleries' fried pickles..

YUM.

Saturday

Not much other than Olympic watching.

Still loving it!!

Sunday

I finally got my butt in gear on Sunday and

hung the windows that I bought in July at First Fridays.

(I can't have too many First Friday projects hanging

over my head afterall...)

Roy was working, and I nearly killed myself hanging these

50lb windows (as in...falling off an inadequate barstool turned ladder with

the window coming down with me....), but I got it done!!

It was a very 'Iamwomanhearmeroar!' kind of moment when

I finally stood back and admired my hard work.

I'm pretty pleased with how they turned out!

Tuesday

I've spent much of this week fretting about what I'm going

to wear to a wedding we have this Saturday...

Dress on the left is the what I'd like to wear IF I can

squeeze into it...it's a little bit tight and I don't think I need

to be bustin' seams on the dance floor.

Dress on the right is cute too and quite stretchy...

hmmmm

This predicament was not made easier by these 

cupcakes I decided to pick up for my orientee's last night

with me on Tuesday.

But they were delicious, and definitely worth the

calorie splurge...right???

Wednesday

Wednesday was super fun.

I went and visited Rachael and Ro 

(I got my R&R as I like to say...

please remember, I'm a fan of corny sayings)

Little Ro was sleepin when we got there,

but she just looked so cute and cozy that I just

had to give her a snuggle...

those boppys are freakin' comfortable PS...

After visiting Rach I went home to get ready for

date night!! WooHoo!

We decided to go to CinemaSuites and solve the

elusive question of 'dinner first or movie first??'  

It's a little bit pricey, but a fun date night every once in awhile.

Apparently I couldn't take my eyes off the 

spell binding previews...?

We also saw a really pretty double rainbow on our

way to the movies

(and yes, it rained....THANK YOU GOD!!!)

I thought it was cool that this rainbow ended right

on top of Lifeway Christian Store.

A great reminder of what rainbows were originally 

meant to stand for!!!

Thursday

I just hadn't gotten enough of my Rachael and Ro time

so I went back over to visit and got to go on a walk!!

It wasn't too hot when the sun went behind a cloud,

but when it came out we started getting a little toasty

and had to make a short lap home.

Roy wanted me to send him a video of little Rowan in 

her stroller. I happily obliged. 

Cause thats what proud Aunties do!!

Friday

My friend at work let me try some of her pickles.

She canned them herself and I about went freaking

crazy....SO GOOD!  

And then just like some sort of angel she was like

'Hey, you want a jar? I've got extra' and I looked

at her like she'd just offered me her kidney!

I ate 1/3rd of the jar over the second half of my shift!

I couldn't stop myself!!

I'm for sure gonna swell up like a balloon and 

not be able to wear the striped dress to the wedding!!

Good thing I've got the stretchy pickle-friendly dress

as a back-up!

Roy went and worked with his best friend Ed today. 

The two of them have this 'bring your best friend to work' thing going on, 

and Ed has ridden along with Roy a few times,

 so today Roy was an honorary vault man.

Vaults. 

Not bank vaults.

As in...a vault you put a casket in...

Wierd job, right?? 

I dont get why people pay extra money to put their casket

inside a sealed vault? Are they planning to exume the person?

Want them to stay earthworm free for eternity?

I told Roy he better not even think about spending any

extra money on a valult for me....he can just buy the

bargain casket and be good to go.

He sent me this cute picture of himself out on the job.

I just wanna pinch him.

And that's it!!

It's been pretty busy week.

Tomorrow is the wedding and we'll have the

final dress showdown....stay tuned...

Dun-dun-dunnnnnn
