Thanksgiving For the Books!

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Well one of them. Its kind of a three way tie between Thanksgiving, Christmas and the Forth of July. 

Anyway.

This Thanksgiving was fantastic. It is the one time of year we go to Virginia and our entire family gets together. And since I am now living it Texas, it was even sweeter to have quality time with my sisters as well. We even got to spend time in Georgia with my Besties!!
I was with all the important people in my life (minus the few members who had to visit the other side of their family) and I could not have been happier. 
Although we spent a lot of time in the car, it was still quality time. 
Virginia is beautiful this time of year and my family does not fall short to provide delicious food and entertainment.

This year included lots of pictures, laughs, the WOBBLE, catchphrase, eating, driving, shopping, catching up, matching tees, Georgia football, fireworks and Christmas tree lighting. 

I. LOVE. MY. FAMILY.


My big sister got us matching t-shirts.
"Turkey Day Take-Over" 
Complete with a Duck Dynasty quote
"we gone"

                                     
Sisters.

Husband.

oh boys. 

First Married Thanksgiving.

Trendy Sisters.


Girl Cousins.

Part two. 

Go DAWGS!

Dancing with my BFF and the one person who loves fireworks as much as I do.

Christmas Tree Lighting Festival on Jekyll Island 
with family and friends.


Saying goodbye sucked. There were lots of hugs and tears. 
Being away from my sisters and my best friends is really difficult.
I am still adjusting to Texas.
I wish Texas and Georgia were closer together. 
Baby you're a firework.
The End.

Reunited with my best friends.

Going to Georgia was so good. I got to see my family and my best friends. I miss having them around so much. Seeing them for that short amount of time was the best. Saying goodbye was difficult. 

Funny story. We all showed up with similar outfits on. Black bottoms, boots (with fringe), scarves, denim tops and chicken wings!! Yeah, we cute.

Wedding Party.

Today one of my good friends got married. 
Kell and I got to be part of it.
I did hair and he was the DJ.
BEST LOOKING DJ EVER! 


Yeah, We cute.

Me and the bride. She is like my twin. We're fun. We're awkward.
And we started a club. Stanky Leg Wife Club.
I am going to miss her when she moves to Cali.


Typical. Lizzie McGuire move. 


Mr. and Mrs. Morrison.



BONUS FOOTAGE:
the bride and her made of honor last weekend.







#shelfie

tee hee. Instead of selfie. I am so funny.
Kell built this out of wood from a pallet. 
He is serious about starting a business.
If you are interested, holler at your girl.



Headband Curls: The true story.

I hope you get a good laugh out of this one folks. Classic case of pinterest hair vs. real life. 

Pinspiration: via the paper mama

Real life. 
Kell said he liked my hair like this. 


it took me 2 times to get it semi-tight. 
it still wasn't as tight as I would have liked. It gets difficult  towards the back.


The morning after. 
hot. mess.
(you are allowed to laugh)


I slept terribly. 


HEY! it worked. 




It didn't hold that long, I had to re-curl pieces before the wedding, and it didn't do much in the back at all. Not so much worth the trouble folks. 
But feel free to try it.

For Your Listening Pleasure:

Last Night my husband and I...and a bunch of other people went to see Needtobreathe in concert in College Station.
It was my first time seeing them live.
It was Amazing.
There is not much I enjoy more than seeing an artist I listen to LIVE!
Every time I go to a concert it is my new "BEST SHOW EVER."
This experience is no different.

As the band was singing "washed by the Water" I could not help but think of the victims of Super storm Sandy. 
This is a true statement. 
I decided "for your listening pleasure" 
I would choose this song and give you readers an opportunity to help.

Our first piece of furniture.

Last Tuesday, My lovely Husband and I decided we would look for some furniture. We were in desperate need of a dresser and some bed side tables. 
We scored this 3 piece set for $100 at a local resale store. 
Its all real wood. The drawers are on tracks and it had lots of space.
Great condition, ugly paint job.

BEFORE:
The Massive dresser.

End table. There are two of these. 


DURING:
-Stripping paint.

-Lots of paint stripping and sanding. By far my least favorite part.
side note: my husband is a beast.

-Staining. I had lots of fun with this step. 
Next we painted all the furniture a light grey, almost white, color. 
Then we destroyed it. 

AFTER:




We are so in love with these pieces. It's the first set of furniture we bought together.
Not only did we buy it together, but we refinished it together. It was a lot of work and a lot of fun. 
I love spending as much time as possible with my husband. 
He loves doing this kind of stuff. I am pretty sure he would do it for a living if he could. 
As a matter of fact he is working on our next project in the garage right now!
Maybe Mrs. Peach will share.
Until next time...

For Your Listening Pleasure

This weekend I went to a bachlorette party. 
We sang lots of Karaoke.
This video shows us being the stars of the show. 
We were famous for 5 minutes. 
Enjoy.



Ps. I hope they don't hate me for this.


Also, sometimes you have a great hair day and you want to share it with the world.
Karaoke night was that day.


How to: Style Your Husband's Flannel Shirt

First off, the shirt does not have to belong to your husband. It can be your boyfriend, brother, dad, grandpa, random old man, or an over-sized flannel from goodwill.

Pinspired by:

My Look:
-Skinny Jeans and tall boots
you may also want to try it with leggings, colored denim and a variety of boots. I personally like tall tan boots best with this look.
Choose your still depending on the colors in your shirt and your own personal preferences.

-Statement Necklace
This adds the feminine touch to the look. I also wore pearl studs and my gold boyfriend style watch. 
Also try substituting the necklace with a scarf with a fun tie. 
This is my new favorite. And this site has TONS of fun things to do with scarves. 

-Add an over-sized sweater.
or a cardigan or even a leather jacket. 

Find what look you are going for and add your style from there.  


 My husband. 
Sometimes it it ok for us to share clothes. 

Love him.
forever&always.
