I am officially in crunch mode for the wedding.  It is this Saturday! I am leaving tomorrow for the farm so I can get more accomplished.  It is tough planning a wedding 250 miles away!  Luckily, I am working with the best Bride & Groom.  Of course, I am in no way biased. ;)  When Isa first asked me to help plan her wedding in only 4 months I thought we had all lost our minds.  But

The wedding is just over 2 weeks away and I still have to find dresses to wear to the rehearsal dinner and to the wedding.  Why is it that you can never find anything when you actually have to buy something? I will find millions of great things if I am just "window" shopping.  I am hoping to find something similar to these dresses.  Source: mikarose.com via ae on Pinterest

Friday night at the farm, my brother starting hinting around that he wanted chocolate chip cookies and apparently, no one makes them quite like I do. So, at 11:00 Friday night we were in Walmart buying cookie ingredients and I was baking cookies until the wee hours of the morning.

I have always loved books and am obsessed with libraries. Big, small, one shelf, or thousands of shelves libraries are my favorite places. Because they house entire worlds. That is my favorite thing about books. The endless journeys you can take. Here are some to die for libraries I have found on pinterest.

It may be the farmer's blood in me, but I love digging in the dirt. I have been so busy lately with school and workthat I have not had time to plant anything this year.I definitely do not have time for a full-blown flower bed, so I decided to do some planters for the front porch. It was so relaxing to sit in the sun and plant my flowers. Lowe's has a great selection of "springy" flowers& there is

Finally, the last road trip post . . . promise! I actually did not buy a lot of souvenirs on this trip.I did get postcards and magnets fromTexas & Louisiana.I also got this super cute mask from one of the shopsin the French Quarter. On our way back to Georgia we stopped at an outlet mall in Mississippi.This is where I got into trouble;) I bought two new pairs of Chucks!! The mall had a

On our way back to Georgiawe detoured to New Orleans and spent a night there. Our hotel: I thought this was pretty awesome because I played clarinet in school.  The entrance to the parking garage for the hotel had these murals painted on the walls.  The view from our hotel room. We walked from our hotel to the French Quarter. Here are some pics I took along the way.

My favorite part of the entire trip was the2-hour trail ride we took through the"mountains" on the ranch.In Georgia, our trail rides are going down dirt roads.This was definitely a new experience on the back of a horse for me.But it was exhilirating!The horses were navigating cliffs that werenarrower than my FOOTand going up & down some pretty steep hills.My adrenaline was working overtime. I

The ranch is about 40 miles NW of Amarillo. Cadillac Ranch is in Amarillo.Therefore, it was imperative that we tag some Cadillacs! Mother nature was working against us with all of the wind.Spray paint + wind = difficultiesHowever, we persevered and made our mark on the world some really nifty cars!  {just for the blog!}

We packed a ton of stuff into the 3 dayswe were at the ranch. So, I am splitting it up into a few posts.  The ranch was more like a small town. It has its own post office and schools. Needless to say, it is ginormous!We probably did not see even half of it. They have an old cemetery from the Wild West Days.How cool is that?! Boot Hill Cemetery There is also a museum on the ranch. Have I

Okay.I am going to finally recap my road trip west!I am going to split this up into separate parts so you are not too overloaded with pictures.  It felt like we were in the car the entire time.However, we really did see some beautiful landscapesboth city and rural.  Disclaimer: all of these pics were takenwhile riding down the interstateso they are not the best quality.

I promise!Life has been a little hecticsince getting back from the trip.  We had an amazing time! I took over 500 pictures but I promise I won't share all 500 of them;) It is going to take me a little time to go through them. I have a couple tests this week but I promise to recap my trip soon.I hope everyone is having a great week!

I saw the following graphic on this blog post this morning and it made me think about all of the ways I waste time. Now that the semester is in full swing I find that I waste A LOT of time not doing my school work. Every semester I vow to not procrastinate.I did not make that vow this semester.My reasoning is thatI have made it to my last semester in grad school successfully and procrastination

There is a set of stairs, with a moving escalator next to it .... both of which lead to the same spot on the floor of the upper level. At first no one took the stairs, almost 97% of the people took the escalator.  Okay. I think that could be a normal expected result. Then a group of engineers got together, and decided they wanted to change the percentage around. Notice what these scientists

When I started to leave for work this morning,I realized that I had a flat tire.Not really a big deal.I had to learn how to change a flat tire before I could get my drivers license.So, I called my boss and told her I was going to be late.Luckily, she told me to just take the morning off!

My best friend is super talented!As she says, she dabbles in painting and drawing.However, she does way more than dabble.Right now, she is sketching her way through my Doctor Seuss books.I am definitely going to frame several of them to hang in our library! I have been badgering asking her for years to paint me something to hang above my bed.Consistently her answer was, "no, I am not good enough.

So I just bought them a couple of things to unwrap and then I am taking them shopping to pick out a few outfits. I would hate to pick out something "uncool!"
