Sunday brent and i decided to give our cars the TLC they so desperately deserved..first a nice scrub at home and then a field trip to the car wash to make em shine. the scrub brush was an odd contraption so i took a little shot of it and i really like the way it turned out..and the pink halo it has around the brush. lol


187
Brent and i wanted to enjoy every ounce of daylight we could on the weekend so we did the fun fall thing- threw a football around in the park and watched the ducks.lol the camera was not hurt during the making of this shot, however i did get hit a few times :) no worries its a nice shot

For Biggest Loser date night at Erins she whipped us up this tasty casserole dish....it was wonderful, prob not the bes pre-run dinner but we made it work ;)



161
we searched far and wide the city for this elusive item...thats right...the desk fan. you'd think in Texas this particular peice would be readily available however if as its a nice 85 at nigt in Oct, apparently we were informed these were out of season in order to make way for those handy heaters.....but alas, we have prevailed champions.....thank you Target

updating fun

sorry im being so behind but on a positive note, its a lot of new pics to look at :)

160
sunday i got to see jess too!!! and she suprised me with some awesome TOUNGE-TOOS for us to enjoy...see as she, cat , and i model. I also got to see my wonderful friend Alayna and her adorable son Jaydyn today too....sorry i forgot to take pics at the new house :(

159a
i finally got to see my ADORABLE nephew Hayden this weekend along with my wonderful UMHB friends. i havent seen them since hayden was born so it was soo great to talk to everybody and get to play with such a cutie all day long. this ones not the cutest pic perse but this face is priceless.... what i imagine hayden thinking at this exact moment is..... ."PUMPkin?"


159b
so i know i already posted one today but i wanted to post one of my beautiful friend responsible for making the adorable little one you see above (plus its my lbog and i can do that) so my beautiful friend kate had to make an appearance as well (if you go back a few months youll see her baby shower shot on here too)

157
oooooh the strain for the reeses puff....


156

155
so i leave work and its nice and sunny. i come home, eat a snack, and literally 5 minutes later, the bottom fell out.... i had no idea it was even going to rain


154
Today is the first day of  my eating healthier time.... I wanted to eat healthy foods but also try some new, unusual healthy treats as well...... so... here you have the jicama (pronounced "hicama") i attacked this root with a furry....this root was very hardy!!! has a taste between apple and turnip, and the texture of a water chesnut...who knew :)


153
sadly, the last day of girls weekend, on sat night (which im going to classify as early sunday for the sake of my shots :) ) we headed to uptown for dinner and dessert. we had a blast, were stuffed with food, and got checked out by a very "buzzed" japaneese man. :) great night!!


152
We had a great girls weekend out on the town, starting with a nice 4 mile walk in the morning, football game on tv and craft bizzare in oak cliff (yes, oak cliff) to wrap up the day. it was such a fun day and i was in love with everything at the fair!!! a nice shopper took this one for us:)


151
Jennifer being our wonderful happy host, and yes, it actually was cool enough for a fire finally!!! it was wonderful! and funny side note, if you look on the mantle you can see the burned pine cone.....apparently her parents thought it was a log


150
A nice view of some of the Dallas Skyline, what i saw coming in to stay with Jennifer for the start of our girls weekend :) i miss this city

aaah its been 18 days since an update....whoops

Day 146
Today is my 24th Birthday!!! aaah im getting up there ;) We woke up to a chilly Arkansas morning then headed back to Texas around 10. on our way home we stopped in Texarkana to check out this whole state line business...it is very intriguing to us that a courthouse can be in two states, and that one side of the street was TX and the other AR. :) I  got a birthday kiss that was so great it was felt by 2 states :) I had a great birthday weekend in AR and i am so happy that i have a husband that's as adventurous as i try to be


Day 145
so for my birthday weekend brent and i were trying to think of something fun and different to do.....and we landed on diamond hunting in Arkansas. We arrived in Murfeesboro about 1 and mined for diamonds most of the afternoon....im pretty sure we didnt find anything monetarily significant but we enjoyed the cool stuff we "panned" from the dirt :) after that we drove around in the mountains for a bit, ate what i would prob say was the best chicken fried steak id ever had and ended the night relaxing at the hotel watching football and movies! awesome day!!!


Day 144
the magazine rack at Albertsons is prob one of the most organized displays  i have ever seen


Day 143
we FINALLY got to play softball after a 2 week rain out!!! btw we won both games..yesssss

Day 141
the new Paramore cd dropped today.....i am SUPER EXCITED!!! i'm pretty sure ive gotten most of it memorized already :)

Day 140
this week started out with a "bang"...as in, i got off work and my tire was so stinkin low i was scared to drive the distance to any gas station with air to fill it up. turns out the construction that is C.S. strikes again. my sweet husband came to the rescue for me :) i love him

Day 139

Day 132
late sat. night i got the urge to change my haircolor, buut, after hearing the extensive work involved we decided it was best to leave it to the professionals, soooo we made a quick trip to Henderson Sunday to have it done (its still a little "fresh" at this point so ill show you the finished product in a few days). while we were there i got to play with my "nephew" tiger, who happens to be staying with his gparents while kris and justin are in Europe
