Walking The Dog

Oh Banksy, you are my everything

This dog is amazing. At times he is a pain in the ass on walks, but the smiles he puts on peoples faces while we are on walks just makes me laugh. Banksy is the typical lab. Goofy, loving, gently, vocal, attention lover... The list goes on. My favorite part about B is his tail. He can't hide any emotion because his tail gives it away. Walks make him so happy that I don't think his tail can go any faster sometimes. People giving him attention is his favorite and even though we are still working on him lunging in for people to pet him (he really can't wait for people to come to him) he is a great dog that just loves sharing his love. Taking him on walks has really become the favorite part of my day. Besides seeing Eric of course. ;)

Weekend Love

Why is it that some weekends just feel so much better than others? This weekend has just been...refreshing

Saturday morning, Eric and I were up bright and early. Well, I was awake around 6 and out of bed cleaning house by 7. Eric was awake but ended up staying in bed nursing a hangover until about 8.

We accomplished so much "stuff" by noon! House cleaned, mens wear picked out for the wedding, passport photos taken, lunch, and thrifting. When we got back home we were kind of like..."now what do we do with our day?" I personally love days like this. Eric usually prefers to lounge in the morning and get stuff done in the afternoon but not me. I'm usually begging for him to get up and get going. :)

I love good hair days that are 2nd hair days. :)

You really couldn't ask for a more beautiful morning.

How cool are these little guys??

I mean, seriously. 

I have a thing for Schwinn branding. Love that "Jetson's" feel

Am I cross eyed? ;)

If only I had the room for a teacup collection. <3

Our purchases. The 3 piece set is a lot less red and more orange in person. Love it! The lady said it was just put out that day so I was happy I was able to scoop it up! :)

much love

Friday Night Out

Last night was my cousin's wedding, Ben and Janelle - you had the most beautiful wedding! Congratulations!

I didn't take much of any photos, but the weather was perfect, and it was a great time!

*most photos that look like this...usually start with the photo below*

Love my sister!

I hope you all are having a great weekend!

TGIF - Dirty Dancing Style

Happy Friday! Made it through another work week. This weekend is especially exciting because weddings are fun, dancing is fun, and being with your family and loved ones is fun. This girl is working through her Friday with a good night just over the horizon. Don't bother trying to get in touch with Eric and I. We will be busy being Frances "Baby" Houseman and Johnny Castle and falling madly in love with each other. ;) (is anyone else a sucker for some Dirty Dancing?)

Throwback Thursday: Music Edition - From First To Last

I'll be honest, this week I had lots going on. Eric and I did 2 date nights, yes thats right 2. Lately we've had zero so we felt we would really kick it up a notch and to add icing on the cake we've got my cousins wedding tomorrow night that we plan on dancing the night away at and just having a good time. I haven't been planning out my blog posts like I usually do so this one y'all is kind of just thrown together.

From First To Last

This is a band that was definitely part of the Myspace era. (yes I was one of those girls) Back when Myspace was huge thats how bands promoted themselves, it was their launch pad. Some of you maybe have heard of Skrillex...well that guy is Sonny Moore who was the singer for From First To Last. Small world right?

FFTL had almost a cult following. But I guess a lot of bands during this Myspace time had that same type of fan base. More of the emo, grunge, metal, alternative crowd. Some people that know me now but didn't know me when I was in high school are probably shocked to find out I listened and still listen to music like this. I don't fall into any specific genre, but I love this shit. Somedays it's just nice to throw on an old album that you haven't listened to in a while, and it takes you right back to where you were in your life when you were so in love with those songs.

Here are my top 3 recommended songs by FFTL

*Ride The Wings Of Pestilence
"I'll hide you in my walls
your body will never be found
I'll wear your skin as a suit
Pretend to be you, your friends will like you more than they used to

Dear diary my teen angst bullshit has a body count (count)
I believe it's 6 going on 7 now (7 now)"

*Note To Self

"Note to self: I miss you terribly. 
This is what we call a tragedy. 
Come back to me, come back to me, to me.
Note to self: I miss you terribly. 
This is what we call a tragedy. 
Come back to me, back to me, to me."

*Emily  <<plus Eric learned this on the guitar and the first time he played it for me...swoon

"Smiles and her laughter 
It's the only thing that I've been waiting for a time 
Regardless of our distance and our hope...grows greater 
Trapped by pretty eyes and letters for all time 
...the only thing that I've been waiting for. 

I hope it's something worth the waiting 
'Cause it's the only time that I ever feel real 
Thunder storms could never stop me 
'Cause there's no one in the world like Emily"

What are some of your favorite "Throwback" bands?

Black Hole - The Internet

Pinterest - I'm sure everyone can relate when 3 hours go by and all you've done is browse Pinterest. For me half the time I don't even pin anything! I just gaze at my laptop into oblivion of at home cleaning supplies and do it yourself scarf making. Seriously. Life would be so much more productive WITHOUT Pinterest. Sure it gives you ideas and all these resources at your fingertips. Great! Brilliant! You know what it also gives you? A shorter life. Kudos to all of you that pin diy projects and then actually do them. I, on the other hand probably pin 5 items in a 2 hour span that I am sucked into this black hole. That's not being productive. Anyways, I've backed off of Pinterest for the most part, lately I've only been going on to see what the people I follow are pinning. But it's still taking up a good amount of time when I'm on my computer. Less Pinterest would mean less computer!

It's time to back off of Pinterest. Emily, step away from the P button on your bookmarks bar.

Happy Friday! Bring on the weekend!

This week has been a LONG week. I sure am glad it's Friday!! Bring on the weekend and good times with friends.

Today I thought I would share some of my fiancé Eric's amazing talent. Eric is a graphic designer and illustrator. If I could have the amount of talent he has in the tip of his pinky I would be happy. But I don't, so I live through him. :) He does freelance work so please feel free to reach out if you need something designed or illustrated! *All images are not to be copied or used without written approval*

Have a great weekend!!
