Florida here I come!

I am heading to Florida tomorrow to visit with the fam and then working during the week for my job in the srq office. I am SO excited! I have only been home once since we got married in March and I am so looking forward to it. The hubs and Bax will stay behind since he has to work and couldn't take that much time off. I am so proud of my Husband. He has been working extremely hard opening stores and expanding his business. Couldn't be more excited and happy for him! Love him!

I plan on getting some much needed shopping in, the movies, baking, going out for coffee and dinners and just enjoying being with my family.

Hubs and I are having date night tonight since I leave tomorrow. We are going to our favorite Sushi place- 18 Asian Sushi Bar. I have been craving sushi for awhile so I am super excited to chow down on some goodness nom nom :)

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! Updates on my trip when I return next week!

Weekend Festivities

This weekend was a good one! Friday night hubs and I went over to Southpark and went to the Cheesecake factory- I think we ate enough for a whole week! That place is so yummy. Of course we couldn't leave with out getting some cheescake! I got the Oreo Cheesecake and hubs got red velvet. Both were awesome, but for sure a splurge kind of a thing once in awhile.

Saturday consited of running errands and relaxing. Some pictures came in the mail that I got printed from the wedding! It took me awhile to get prints to put around the house but I bought cute frames at homegoods and have photos beautifully displayed around :) We already have an amazing canvas picture hanging above our fireplace mantle from our lovely photog from our wedding! Saturday night the hubs and I went to the pre-season came for the Panthers. It was my first Panthers game so it was really exciting. It was a lot of fun and although it rained a bit at the beginning- we lucked out and were in a Suite and kept dry the whole time :) {thanks Uncle Joe!!}

Today I took advantage of sleeping in while the hubs went to work on a Sunday which is not the norm- he has been super busy with work lately and has been working the weekends a bit. I decided I wanted to finally try my familys famous homemade pasta sauce to have for dinner tonight. I went to Harris Teeter and got all my ingredients and got to cooking! It smells so good and I can't wait to have an awesome dinner ready for us tonight. Italian bread, ceaser salad, and rigatoni pasta with the homemade pasta sauce complete with sweet Italian sausage. YUM!

I have a busy week coming up which includes packing up to head down to FL on Friday to spend time time with my Fam and also work at the Srq office during the week. My sister and I will be making some headway with ordering and planning some more for our older sisters Bridal Shower that will be in November. The theme is sunflowers, so we are going for light yellows, cremes, and browns to create a chic/vintage look that we know she will love!

I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

Hi There!

Hellloo out there readers! I have been majorly slacking on this whole blog thing. I really want to keep up with it because I want to be able to look back at all the entries and keep my online 'journal'. Things have been great and I am really feeling settled into our life in NC. I am working a lot more at Whitehead Manor which has been a great learning experience and has given me the chance to meet some new people that I work with.

Here is a recap from the last few months:
-My best friend got married and moved out to LA-visiting her the end of September and can't wait!
-Went on a Family vacay to Italy
-Went to VA to go wedding dress shopping with my sister- she said yes to the dress! Also talked/planned for her wedding that will be the end of March.
-My other best friend got engaged (wooo!)
-Working more events at Whitehead Manor- including weddings
-Trying out  new resturaunts in Charlotte with the hubs
-Bought tickets to a Jason Aldean concert that is September 9th
-Planned a trip to FL to visit my parents and sister :)
-Roadtripping up to Ohio for Labor day weekend to spend time with my husband's brother, wife, and their new baby girl! (can't wait to spoil her!)

I think that is all that has been going on! Hubs and I are headed to a Panthers/Giants game this Saturday and it will be my first Panthers game so I'm excited! We may try out a new resturaunt this weekend as well we have been wanting to try.

Have a lovely Wednesday all!
