My wish list

1 // CamelBak Better Bottle Insulated 0.6L – I just love these water bottles.  I opted to get a nalgene for my everyday water drinking at work simply because it sits on my desk more than likely collecting dust all day and the spout on these is open to that dust, so I didn’t want to put my mouth on that.  I’d still like to get one of these though!

2 // Lean In – Brittany suggested this book to me when I shared some experiences with her about the job I’m in and I really want to read it.  It sounds like the perfect book for what I’m dealing with right now!

3 // A nice beginner photography camera – I don’t have a specific type because I haven’t really started researching it yet.  I know I don’t have the money to spend on one right now and I won’t until I get my legit big-girl job hopefully starting in August, but my sites are on a nice camera.  You photography buffs have any suggestions for a reasonably priced beginner camera for someone?!  I know absolutely NOTHING about photography, so it needs to be user-friendly.

4 // Erin Condren Life Planner [Gold] – I’m not gonna lie, I think it’s absurd that EC wanted to charge $75 for a gold life planner, but then I saw Jennifer’s and kind of fell in love.  I’m a tad bit ashamed because I still find it ridiculous, but her planner looks stinkin’ adorable and I’m starting to want one.  I still have my regular EC life planner and it lasts until December, so I’m holding on to it for another few months, but by then I may actually break down and get this.

5 // Jack Lalanne Stainless Steel Power Juicer – I recently got fed up with my crappy Walmart power juicer and threw that sucker in the trash.  Right now I don’t have a juicer and I won’t for a little while because I’d really like to save up and get a really nice one like this one!

Next Month’s Home Town Hop:
August 6

We recently got the cutest coffee shop on Main St. in Starkville, MS called 929.  If you are a bulldog and haven’t had a chance to visit it yet, then next time you’re in town, it’s a place you MUST stop by!
I’ll mostly let these pictures do the talking because I don’t think I’ve seen such beautiful and creative interior design in my life {except on pinterest, of course}.

That cute little gold crown is their logo.  They have fabulous outside seating!

Right on the strip of Main St.
I love the butcher paper hung on the wall for their menu.

These look amazing every.day!  Before I move from Starkville, I’ll be trying one of those cinnamon rolls that are literally as large as my face!  Seriously, the picture doesn’t do their size justice!
I tried this sausage, egg, & cheese sandwich since it was dinner time and I was starving.  Unfortunately, I wasn’t impressed.  But their cakes are delicious, so I know you can still go there for some good food!
They have BINGO night every other Thursday with tons of prizes!

I love these booths!
Beautiful arrangements with coffee beans.

These lights remind me of sparklers! I just love it!

I saved the best for last!!! Those are cookie sheets… as their wall.  I absolutely ADORE this design!

I hope you’ll decide to stop in at 929 if you’re ever in Starkville, MS.  It’s a cute coffee shop that has something for everyone!  Link-Up your post below – I look forward to seeing what you have to share!

A weekend to remember!

This weekend turned out to be wonderful! I went home for a wedding that Nick was the Best Man in and we had a blast!

That morning before I traveled home I joined in for my last day of PT with the ROTC students. 

 
I managed to get a 9:09 mile.  I’ve been pretty pleased with my early morning runs.  I know they’re short, but my pace is getting pretty good and I’ve managed to get a few miles that are under a 10 min. mile.  I consider myself a really slow runner, so this excites me!
 
I was suppose to make it home in time for the Bridesmaid Brunch (even though I wasn’t a bridesmaid), but there was some confusion on the time and I wasn’t able to be there.  So I went home and spent some time with my family, got some coffee with my dad and then worked on applying for some more jobs and writing up some blog posts for the week.  I felt really productive in that hour!
 
Nick finally got off work and so I went and spent some time with him.  We hung out at his house until it was time to get ready for the rehearsal dinner.  We made it to the rehearsal just in time and they did their things, then we headed to McCain Lodge for the rehearsal dinner.  The food was amazing, but the best part was the bread pudding!! It was to die for!  Nick and I were able to squeeze in a good picture from the evening, but I’m sad that I didn’t take any others!
 
 
Right before everyone was going to leave, the sky opened up and it just poured… the lights flickered and I thought I’d never seen so much rain!  We waited it out until it was to a light drizzle and made our way home.  When we got to my parents, Nick decided to hang out just a little bit and so we watched some Arrested Development.
 
Saturday morning I woke up and did some more blogging while I enjoyed my cup of coffee then I got ready to take care of the bride-to-be.  On my way to pick her up, she asked me to get an “I love you” card for her future hubby and so I picked out 2 so she could pick the best one.  I figured I could save the other one for Nick later.  I picked her up and took her to get her hair done.  While she was busy doing that, I went over to the groom’s parents house where I was invited to get some brunch.  I left the guys outside so they could enjoy their guy time (It was the groomsman brunch after all), but I enjoyed a cup of coffee, some fruit, a cinnamon roll, and some sausage.  I then took the groom’s sister with me and we went and picked up the bride and her mom and I dropped them back off at the hotel to get ready for pictures.  While they were all busy, I ran an errand to bed, bath, & beyond to pick up our wedding gift and then joined my parents for lunch at Newks.  I ran into the other groomsman’s wife at Newks (I met her the night before) and met a few of their other friends.  Nick and I absolutely adored the groomsman and his wife and we look forward to hanging out with them again soon! 
I went home and got ready for wedding.  I got picked up by a limo and dropped off at the church so I could pass out wedding programs and have people sign the guest book.  After the wedding, we all crammed back into the limo and opened up a bottle of champaign to toast the newly wedded bride & groom!  The reception was amazing – there was great dancing, a candy bar, and an open bar!  We had a really grand time!
 
Sunday morning I headed back over to Nick’s and we decided to make some juice.  He got his juice all the way to the rim of this cup!
 
 
The juice was delicious!  Afterwards we thought we would go and hang up the hammock that he received as his groomsman gift, but right as we stepped outside it started to rain, so we decided not too, but that meant that we could then go and fix my blinker!  My blinker has been screwed up for a while now and it makes this annoying sound and doesn’t always work when you want it to.  Now I have a full functioning blinker!
 
 
It was the hazard button that we had to replace.  Then we decided to take a ride out to dogwood and get some food and look around for a bit before I headed back to Starkville.  We enjoyed the leisurely time together.
 
Later that evening, I got this picture from Nick
 
 
Looks like he was finally able to enjoy his hammock!
 
Have a great week, I’m looking forward to a 3 day work week! 🙂
