Puppy's and Diamonds...

What more could a girl ask for!!

One of my best friends just got engaged last Friday! They have been dating for sometime now and we ( friends and family) have been expecting this day to come sometime in the near future, however this was a surprise to all! Josh ( the fiance) asked in the cutest way possible... She walked into his house and instead of Josh being around a cute little black lab came around the corner with a ring around her neck. Of course you know what comes next..Josh came around the corner next and then proposed!

When I found out I couldn't stop smiling! I am so excited for both of them. Josh and Erin are what I consider to be true soul mates.

Congratulations "EEC--soon to be EED"

Song of the Week

I am starting a new weekly post, if you haven't figured out what it is yet from the title, it will be a " Song of the week." Each week I will post one or two songs along with the lyrics. If you have any recommendations, please message me with them!

To get started, I have chosen the following:

Joshua Radin

"No Envy No Fear

This song is on the Simple Times album that can be found on itunes

Some are reaching few are there
Want to rein from a hero's chair
Some are scared to fly so high
Well this is how we have to try
Have no envy and no fear
Have no envy, no fear

Brother, brother we all see
You're hiding out so painfully
See yourself come out to play
A lover's rain will wash away
your envy and your fear
So have no envy and no fear

When your sister turns to leave
Only when she's most in need
Take away the cause of pain
By showing her we're all the same

Have no envy and no fear
Have no envy and no fear

Every day we try to find
Search our hearts and our minds
The place we used to call our home
Can't be found when we're alone

So have no envy and no fear
Have no envy and no fear

Happy Birthday Baillie!

HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY BAILLIE B.

HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL DAY!  XOXO

Happy Day

I am trying to be optimistic about having jury duty tomorrow....however I can't find anything to optimistic about...grrr!!!

Aloha

The countdown has begun...  50 more days until I leave for Hawaii!   I am going to Maui with my family for a week.... I am really looking forward to a relaxing, sun bathing week.  Unfortunately it will just be me, my mom and my dad.  One of my dearest friends was invited but she will be partying it up in Vegas this time.    My parents are old school so my boyfriend won't be able to come with me... :(  But it will be so relaxing! 

I'm Chuck Bass

Okay... I know I am on this Gossip Girl train a little delayed... but did you all know that Ed Westwick( Chuck Bass) was from England??!!  I never knew that!  His accent is amazing. It is so heavy too, I can't believe he is able to drop his accent.  He is now more unbelievable then he was after last nights show.    You know you love him! xoxo

Music is Love

Thank you Michelle (Lovely Little Things) for sending me this picture.  It is perfect in every way.   If I ever had the guts to get a tattoo...this would be one I would consider.  I am in love with this photo.

Dreaming of the South

Another item on my 2009 agenda is the New Orleans Jazz festival.  I am not sure if I will be making it this year because I looked into it a little late. But a girl can dream!  This year's line up includes Dave Matthews, James Taylor, Etta James, Kings of Leon and many many more artists that I would just love to see perform live.   I will keep you posted!

XOXO GG & Shopping

My good friend Ashley was visiting this weekend from Seattle and we spent most of our time shopping and watching the first season of Gossip Girl. I love this show! Target had the first season on sale for $17.00! I now have so many of questions answered! While we weren't watching GG, we shopped! Ashley is my official shopping friend. Her and I can spend hours and hours together shopping. Not only do we get along great, she has great taste and is also very honest. I know I will never end-up buying something that doesn't look good. :) We got the cutest dresses this weekend! Now all I need is somewhere to wear it too....

Hmmm maybe Ryan can plan a fancy date!

and the worst blogger award goes to....

Me!!

Seriously, how do you fellow bloggers keep up?!  I can't handle it.  I stare at a computer all day at work and never feel like coming home to blog....

I feel like I have failed the blogging community!  Any words of advice of how I can get better at this would be very helpful!
