What's Your Perfect Day?

What would your perfect day look like? Now hold up, we aren't getting extravagant here. No jet setting to Paris, just a normal-ish day. Just picture this: You (and someone of your choosing) get the day off. What would your day look like?

My day would definitely include a whole lot of time with this guy! 

I would love to sleep in with my hubby (which is like 8am for us), get ready and go to breakfast somewhere super delish. I think my favorite is the Sheerwater breakfast buffet at the Hotel Del Coronado. Yum! Then we would either go home and take a little nappy nap and/or do something outside like take a walk on the beach or go for a hike or horseback ride. Then I would love to prep a good dinner and have some friends over for a grill out. Apparently that's southern for barbecue. There would be good drinks flowing, s'mores over the fire and some good guitar playing and singing by my fantastic hubby. Doesn't that sound wonderful?!

What does you perfect day look like?

Thursday Randoms

1.) I have a new favorite blog (not including, of course, the people who have blogs that I'm actually friends with.... like in real life…not cyberspace). Anywho, this is chick Jessica from How Sweet It Is and she is just the most fabulous lady ever. All of her photos and recipes look beautiful and I have been blog binging on all her stuff
for about a week! She does "Tuesday Things" which I always love reading so I'm jumping on board with "Thursday Randoms."

2.) I love love love this dress! I wear it to work all the time and I always feel so sophisticated and cute when I do. It's conservative, but super flattering and I love the little flare of the skirt! I usually wear it with black flats and a gold sparkly belt.

3.) This song came on the radio the other morning when I was coming home from the gym and it really resonated with me. It reminded me that we are all on a journey and that journey is set by God. God has great things planned for us, and I know I need to calm my mind and let God work in me.

4.) I am dying for some trashy frozen yogurt right now. You know, like a mess of yogurt piled with random toppings. Oh yeah. Trashy all the way.

5.) I took this selfie of my sock bun the other day at work (does it count as a selfie if it's of your back?). I am currently undecided on the hairstyle. I have so darn much hair that it makes a gigantic bun, and I kind of feel like I have a prom up-do going on up there. PS…see above outfit in the selfie.

6.) I really want a jeans jacket/vest. Are those still in? Also a knee length flowery skirt. I am a grandma at heart.

7.) I love this water bottle from Target and I could probably write a song about how much I love this thing. I fill it up at least twice a day at work and it helps me drink at least 64oz of water. Plus it's cute!

8.) I love all the "back to your roots" kind of country music that has been coming out lately. Songs like Tim McGraw's "Meanwhile Back at Mama's" and Miranda Lambert's "Automatic" call for a slower paced life, where you enjoy the little things. That's the kind of life I hope to lead, no matter where I'm living. See my life plan here.

Have a great weekend friends! I would love to hear what y'all are up to. Comment back or send me an email!

Update! Update! Read all about it!

Today, a lady in the department that I used to work in was sick and I happen to know her job, so it was a flash back to a slower paced day. But it did give me a chance to write, which I haven't done in forever!

Random update:

Everything is good and pretty darn normal.  I haven't seen my hubby in a few weeks (boo!)but we always have some pretty darn good adventures when he comes home (and lots of yummy food of course). A few weekends ago, we took some of my hubs' friends that he works with on their first Disneyland adventure! I love seeing the faces of people

who are experiencing the Happiest Place on Earth for the first time. However, we did have some 20 something year old complaining fellas by the end of the night. Poor little sore feet!

   

The next weekend Nate was home, we needed a little rest so that included some homemade chili, watching Frozen, a nice long nap, and just some great quality time together. Ahh I need some of that right about now!

We are gearing up for our move back down south... not quite physically preparing yet, but just in the planning stages. We are planning on living with some friends for a while so we can find our perfect home together and we can actually physically see it, not just in pictures. Good plan.

I've been going to the gym at 5:30am. Yes, I know, I'm nuts. But I'm always so tired after I'm done with work and I never want to go, so when my alarm goes off at 4:40am, I just tell myself "I'm going to be tough like Nate and get up and get it done." I'm pretty tired by the end of the day, but I'm always glad I got up and went.

I think that's all my updates for the time being!

PS... Check out my girl Madi's (seriously y'all, we're like sisters) blog Homegrown Hostess. She's pretty much the most fabulous thing out there.
