Weekend Update

Can y’all actually believe that I am back this week…with a new post. Ahhh! Watch out things are getting supa cray over here!

This weekend involved a little road trippin’ with the sis and Madre. We went to see my cousin get married. It was very informal, low key, and small. But it was what they wanted and it turned out wonderful. We thought it was going to rain the whole time, since it was all outside, but the rain held off for the ceremony and then for a little bit while everyone was eating..but not long after it started up again and lasted for a lonnnnng time. 

Sisters.

The Madre and I.

Cousin Ryan.

The Happy Couple.

We headed home on Sunday and I met up with WJ and we got to take this beauty out for a ride.

It sure has been a while and I am actually glad it is finally back together again. Gasp! Totally can’t believe I just admitted that. :)

Also, speaking of the #biggreenmachine…remember when I mentioned a little something about it appearing in the Take A Little Ride video? Well, we got the opportunity to do another video for Jason Aldean. But this wasn’t for a music video, this was for an opening to be played at his Night Train concerts. We have been trying to find someone that has been to one of his concert’s already (he hasn’t had any close to us yet) that recorded it. WJ finally found one posted on youtube. 

Pretty freakin’ cool, huh?! I think it is at least ;)

       

What did you do this weekend? 

Are you over the rain as much as I am?

   Happy Monday loves!         ETA: This was supposed to post Monday obviously...but something happened with the pics and I couldn't get it posted...my bad. :)

Dear 24:

Back on the 3^rd of May, I celebrated my 24^th birthday.  I was so positive that I did not want to turn 24 this year.  There was just something about it that I did not like.  However, not really much we can do about it.  So I wrote this letter about a week after my birthday and I am going to share it with you.

Dear 24:

We have officially met now, welcome to my world.  I honestly wasn’t sure if I wanted to meet up with you. I have certain reservations about 24.  I am very happy to have made it to 24…sometimes I look back on and wonder how the heck I made it! But I promise, I don’t see myself turning 30…ever. I will just stop at 29 and keep celebrating my anniversary of 29...every year. :) 

I can say that I thought I would have a lot more accomplished by now, be farther in my life than I am now. But we all move at our own pace, right?  Things hardly ever work out the way that I want them too – duh! I should know and understand that by now, and to some extent I do…but I still need help reminding myself of this, and the good Lord above does not disappoint me when it comes to reminding me.  And in the back of my mind, I do know all of this, it’s just all those dang control issues that I have and not wanting to let go of things.  I am not upset at where I am or where I have been.  I just feel that I should have done better in some aspects of my life that what I have. 

 I am completely okay with my job at the moment.   I am completely in love with my best friend and so glad that we have found each other, and stuck out the hard times (some way more hard than others), and decided that we do want to spend forever together.  That I would not change for the world.  I wish I made better decisions about school and what I wanted to be when I “grew up”. 

 I have had plenty of wonderful times in year 23…at the top – {getting engaged}; {watching my best friend become a mom, again}; meeting new friends; going to FL and the beach for the first time in many years (post still to come on that, promise!); working my butt off at the gym (now to work on my horrible eating habits); successfully worked two jobs and complete school classes at the same time; graduate from college, again; watch my future nephew grow from being a baby into a little boy; be a part of a music video; watch WJ graduate from college and start his big boy job; transition from a job that I really enjoyed to one that I totally love; and of course start this blog and {for the most part} stick with it and meet some pretty freakin awesome people along the way. :) 

So 23 wasn’t a bust – nor did I think it was – but I can only dream about how wonderful 24 will be. 

There were so many things that came and went, but yet so many wonderful great things still to happen and great memories yet to be made.   

I may not be so sure about this 24^th year right now, but I am ready to see what all is in store for me.  

 It has been a great year and I will miss you, but it’s time to open new doors and windows and take 24 on like donkey kong!

     

Totally not my cake - googled image ;)

 What was your favorite age to turn? 
Which age did you dread?
   

TGIF!!!

Okay you pretty people that have stayed here…I sincerely apologize for my lack of presence around here. I know I said that I would be back, and I know I have given you every excuse in the book as to why I have been busy and doing everything but keeping up with the le blog here. 

I have truly missed not checking in with you all and also the tiny amount of comments that I get. I have been so far behind on reading my fav blogs – but I promise that I am reading every post that I missed. Because I am that dedicated…ha!

I did want to hope in and say hi and that I missed you all. I actually have posts planned for all this week and I really hope that I get them all shared to you.

I of course have to participate in my girl’s linkup…

So it’s Friday, which means it’s time for…

Happy Weekend Y’all.

 Hopefully I will be better this week and I will brb. #fingerscrossed
