A few of my ex co-workers (and one current co-worker) decided we wanted to get together and do brunch. Mike was so nice as to offer his home.

It was great to get together and catch-up with everyone.

Today was Mother's Day. It was pretty low-key. We went to my parents house and had a nice lunch. MY Mom ended up going to my Gramdma's (her Mom's) house, so my Dad grilled for us and we just hung out for a bit. It was delish.

I also got an Up band, by Jawbone. If you've never heard of it before, go google it. Now.

I did Happy Hour at Pour Richards in Bloomington with the MN Blogger group. This was the HH that none of us took a picture at, so as a blogger says, if you didn't take a picture, it didn't happen, right. LOL.

I got my hair done today. I splurged. I went to Rocco Altobelli's downtown MPLS. In other words read: $$$. I did spend WAY too much and will find a cheaper alternative, but it was a slight emergency. I NEEDED it. My hair was SO bad. I don't know why I let it get that bad, but I do. Not only did I get it cut, but I also got high/low lights put in. This was the first time in a LONG time that A) I got my hair colored of some sort (other than a box at home) and more importantly B) was in an actual salon other than Fantastic Sams or Great Clips. Yes, that's how I roll. Cheap, cheap and more cheap.

Today was the 101.3 KDWB Star Party. All the artists this year:

Ariana Grande;
MKTO;
Hot Chelle Rae;
Olly Murs;
Cher Lloyd;
Jason Derulo;
and Nelly

I had printed off a picture for Olly to sign for Hailey from when he was here back in January in the Skyroom. Remember when she climbed up on stage with him? Yea, well he remembered her and signed it and now it's in a frame in her room.

I invited my cousin, Nicole, to come along with me and hang out.

Of course me and my ladies, Katie and Falen, were there.

As mentioned in THIS post, we had our meeting with Bouari Clinic to start Wayne's weight loss endorsement for the radio station.

Today I met up with some of my MN Blogger peeps at the new See's Candies that was opening in the Southdale Mall. Carolyn and Kelly put this event together. I brought Hailey with. I took this picture of Hailey and the group picture from Carolyn's blog. I was so busy with Hailey, that I didn't have any time to really enjoy myself, much less take pictures of anything.

We got to try anything we wanted, they told us some history about the company, we got to go behind the counter and practice packaging AND they sent us home with a bag full of goodies. It was so fun to actually meet a lot of them in person for the first time, although I didn't get to talk to them because of course Hailey had me running after her the whole time.

 photo Collage-SeesCandy_zpse524db47.jpg

Oh well. There will always be more blogger meet-ups, right?

P.S. I feel like 2013 is flying by. Anyone else?

Happy 32nd Birthday to the love of my life. After 10 years of celebrating birthdays with you, they just don't ever get old (pun intended). Haha. No, but seriously, I love you more and more as each one passes and even though we won't be together a whole lot today, just know I am thinking of you ALWAYS.

 photo Us_zps37328e46.jpg

I am so lucky to have you as my Husband and so glad that you picked me to share this life with. Everyone knows I'm head over heels for you. You are so thoughtful of me, my time and my efforts, while unselfishly you give all your time to working and providing for our little family. You work so hard for us and I appreciate that more than you know. More than words or actions can show you.

I know I say this all the time, but you are seriously THEE BEST DADDY EVER!! I could not have dreamt a more perfect little family for me and God only knows how thankful and blessed I am.

We are so lucky to have you and call you OURS!

I love you with all of my heart!! Here is to another 10+ years of birthdays together!!

Happy Birthday, Babydoll!

This is a Great Gatsby week. I haven't seen the movie yet. Have you? Did you like it? I've heard such mixed reviews about it, but in my book Leo can do no wrong. I'm sure I will see it at some point.

I am SO loving THIS song right now. I first heard it in one of my Zumba classes and instantly knew I needed to find out the details.

A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got) by Fergie feat. Q - Tip & GoonRock



After I found out this song was from The Great Gatsby, I looked up the rest of the soundtrack. I pretty much love anything will.i.am does, so I went and listened to this one, too.

Bang Bang (Great Gatsby Version) by will.i.am



Happy Monday!

This was Nicole & Al's wedding weekend. I took the day off and my Dad dropped me off at my Aunt & Uncle's house (parents of the bride) mid-day, so then Wayne & I wouldn't have two cars the next day at the wedding & reception. So I car-pooled with them to the rehearsal and dinner.

The ceremony was at Northwestern College in the Nazareth Chapel in St. Paul. Absolutely beautiful.

 photo Collage-1_zps39da13db.jpg

Dinner was at Grumpy's in Roseville. They did a build your own burger bar AND had an open bar! Woohoo!

 photo Collage-2_zpsfc107ff4.jpg

We all got liquor for our gift! Go figure! All the ladies ended up spending the night at The Bride's parents house, but we pretty much all just went to bed. It was going to be an early morning and a long day.

Saturday, April 6, 2013

The next morning we all got up early, had mimosas and breakfast and got our hair and make-up did at the house.

1. Nicole, the Bride, getting hair did.
2. Me & Nicole after hair, still in our comfies.
3. Cody. RIP. He died about a month after this.
4. Me & my cousin, Jenna, who is also sister of the Bride and fellow bridesmaid. Riding in the car on our way to Northwestern College.

5. We arrived at Northwestern and helped the bride get into her dress.

6. I snapped a quick selfie to send to the Hubs.

 photo Collage-Church_zpsbd900924.jpg

7. On our way to the "first sighting." The photographer in me took over and became a little bossy at this point. I just wanted everything to go smoothly and wanted both Nic and Al to have a memorable first sighting with great pictures.

 photo Collage-Church1_zpsac5c99cc.jpg

8. After the first sighting we did all the professional pictures.

9. After a few hours of pictures and hanging out. It was time to gear up for the ceremony.

10. Walking down the aisle.

11. A few ceremony pictures.

12. After the ceremony we were ready to get our party on in this:

13. Me saying that I drank WAY too much is a huge understatement. It was damn good fun, but I definitely can't party like I used to.

 photo Collage-Limo1_zps44689f61.jpg

14. So much fun! Arriving at the reception which was at the Park Plaza Hotel in Bloomington. Which coincidentally was where Wayne and I had our reception 6.5 years ago! Aw. What memories.

15. The group waiting to make our grand entrance.

16. Us making our grand entrance.

Dinner and the reception got underway. They had a great buffet and cake and got right into the speeches.

17. Bride & Groom's first dance.

 photo Collage-Reception2_zpsb2594ece.jpg

18. Hailey had so much fun dancing the night away. She was all over the place and probably on the dance floor more than anyone else. She loves weddings!

 photo Collage-Reception3_zps7b895d6a.jpg

19. And I have to end this post with pictures of my loves!

 photo Collage-Reception4_zps305da462.jpg

It was a great day and night with lots of fun had and memories made.

Congratulations Nicole & Al!!!

1. I made these delicious bars this past weekend. They didn't last very long in my house.The sad thing is, Wayne didn't have one. Hailey and I ate the whole pan...ourselves...in like 3 days.

 photo IMG_6927_zps3482b7fb.jpg

I'm going to my Dad's side annual Family Reunion on Saturday and we all have to bring something to share. I will probably make these again as they are so cheap AND easy. That's MY kind of "cooking".

2. I bought these two items online from Kohls. I've been wanting one of these for the gym locker room for awhile now. I saw another lady use it and it just made so much sense. I finally found this super cute one from Kohls AND it was on sale AND I had another 20% off coupon.

 photo ZigZagBathWrap_zps82c5a3b2.png

I also got this t-shirt. It was also on sale.

 photo StripedAnchor_zpse8615812.png

I just got them in the mail yesterday, so I haven't fully checked them out yet, but yay for good deals.

3. So does anyone watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon? I love him and I'm so happy that he will be moving up in the spring of 2014. This is Monday's full episode, but if you specifically fast forward to about 7:00 minutes in, this is one of the reasons I love him. Steven Colbert makes a dancing appearance.



Anyone else excited tomorrow is Friday? Holla!
