best friends and birthdays

This weekend was a wild one. My best friend April came to town to stay with us. 

-BACKGROUND-

April has been a friend of mine for... 6 years now! I met her at orientation our freshman year of college. It was love at first site you could say. We were roommates for a year and bffs ever since. She is such a breath of fresh air. 

I miss her already.

We had such a fun Saturday night out. My friend Kasey's sister let us come out and help celebrate her birthday.

I love these girls!

two years

October 20, marked 2 years together. My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years now. We ate at Tumea & Sons, a little "mom and pop" restaurant in Des Moines. We had never ate there before, but will be going back. AMAZING!

I decided to try out new wings for the night.

I partied too hard Friday... so this is what I did all day Saturday and Sunday.

Hello followers, 

I have been MIA from here for some time now. Oops! Well good news. I'm back.I have been in the market for a denim vest and haven't found one that I liked or one in my budget. Then the fashion Gods shined down at Goodwill. I found a jacket that I liked and turned it into a vest. All you do it cut off the sleeves at the seam.

I finally came around to cooking this weekend also, chimichangas and spanish rice. YUM!

 Took this with instagram last night. Had natural curly hair for date night with the boy! We went to Noah's Ark, in Des Moines. It's amazing Italian food.

I will be crafting some this week so stay tuned.

long blog.

hello friends! it has been over a week since my last post. (oops!) 

I have an excuse though, I've been sick... :( Don't worry, I am getting better. 

• First, I would like to share with you a project I am slowly doing. I am converting my recipes from my little box to a binder. I have too many and my box is overflowing. My binder isn't pretty, but it gets the job done!

• Secondly, I got a free tote (Victoria's Secret addict) soo cute! 
• The little town I am from has started their "farmers market" once a week. Which means you can bring any foods you grow, anything you make, or whatever you want to sell. So a few gals from my work are going to buy a table and sell things! I decided to make a few necklaces...

... I ordered material from Hobby Lobby, and these are my goodies. including bubble wrap I had a blast popping. I will let you know how those turn out! 

• Found this little gem on a trip to Goodwill. Not sure what I will do with it, but I couldn't pass it up. Suggestions would be lovely.

• Bonus, everyone kept telling me how long my hair has gotten last week! It's always thrown up in a pony tail during the work week so I haven't noticed how long it has gotten. 

So happy to catch everyone up. I will be HOPEFULLY be doing some gardening and crafting this weekend. 

--Until we meet again!
