What day is it?

It's Friday!

Today I am thinking about all sorts of things (I'll share those at a later date)...

Mostly about this weekend!  You all know, I am not actually posting this today, but I have scheduled it to post in my absense.  I wanted to give you a sneak peak of where we will be spending our first anniversary!  We will be staying here, in a whirlpool suite!  I'm not sure of many  more details yet, as my hubby has planned those.  I'm sure I will not be disappointed! 

I do know that we will also be checking this out, because after all, one of our first dates was to a haunted house, just 3 years ago!!  (If you click on the link, beware that it does look kind of creepy!)

I will be back to post next week about our fun-filled anniversary weekend!! :-) Have a great weekend everyone!

Thankful Thursdays

Today I am Thankful For:

• This coming weekend!  I have Friday & Monday off and the hubby and I are going on an extended Anniversary weekend!
• Rainy mornings.  I was able to sleep in this morning while it was cold and rainy and it was great!
• Wine.  We will be drinking some very good wine to help celebrate our 1st anniversary this weekend!
• My parents.  They are taking our puppy, Bear, this weekend so we don't have to worry about him.
• My in-laws.  They are sending us off with some wine and fresh baked bread to indulge in over the weekend.
• My husband.  My entire life I dreamed of what my life would be and I have to say that I am not disappointed with how it turned out.  My husband is amazing and I love him so very much.
• Today.  It is my Friday!! :-) 

What are you thankful for?

An Award!

Thanks to Emily over at The Lamb Family, I got my FIRST award ever!! :-)

She awarded me: This Kreativ Blogger award!

Here are the Rules for this award:
1. Thank the person who nominated you for this award.
2. Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
3. Link to the person who nominated you for this award.
4. Name 7 things about yourself that people may not know.
5. Nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.
6. Post links to the 7 blogs you nominate.
7. Leave a comment on each of the blogs letting them know they've been nominated.
here it goes.....

1.  I am obsessed with organization.  Especially when it comes to my planner, if I lost that puppy, I'd be lost!
2.  I love hot apple cider of any kind!  It's sort of another obsession I have in the fall/winter time to keep me warm!
3.  I'm terrible at listening to voice messages.  I usually just call the person right back without listening to what they wanted on the message.  It drives some people crazy.
4.  I also hate talking on the phone for long periods of time.  I get bored, even if we are having a good conversation.  I think I need to learn to pay more attention!
5.  I want two children, a boy and a girl.  Preferably twins, but I don't think that's something I can choose!
6.  I went to school for Criminal Justice with the intention of working with juvenile delinquents, until I realized nobody would hire me without previous experience, which I couldn't' get because nobody would hire me... It's a vicious cycle...
7.  I love margaritas and bloody mary's.  They are my drink of choice anywhere I go even though they are both so bad for me.  However; we rarely go out, ever....

So, with that being said, I now nominate the following:
Cat from The Answer is You
Becky from The Branches
Emily at Imperfect
Miss I "Dew" from Life after I Dew
Shaina at Post Smith
Summer at B is for Brown
Chelsea at Life is Beautiful

Counseling

So, I officially applied for my first counseling position.  No, I do not currently hold a counseling license, but I am in school for it, which counts for something.  Anyway, it's a long shot, but it would be great for experience.  Please say a prayer for me.  I'm just hoping to get an interview!

Thanks! :-)

A Little Un-Nerveing....

Hubby and I are sitting on the coach, watching The Big Bang Theory, minding our own business... When he looks outside and sees not one, but to police cars in front of our house.... They seem to be empty with no officers in sight.  Anyway, a little bit later two officers come walking up the street, get in their cars, and speed off.....

Not sure what went down, but I am not ok with it that it was so close to home!!

I cannot wait to move back to my hometown!!

Dear Mother Nature:

I know you are just trying to mix things up a bit for us, but it's not right.  In August, we had what should have been, September weather.  In September, we had what should have been, August weather.  Now, at the end of September, beginning of October, we have what should be END of October weather. 

Yesterday it was a beautiful 81 degrees, I got a lot done outside and enjoyed the wonderful weather. Today I woke up, got ready, dressed in Capri's and a sleeveless top, thinking the weather would be the same today as it was yesterday.  But no, you had to go and change it, just like that.  I walked out of the house and it was a blistering 50 degrees out!  Yes, 50!  I about froze my tush off! 

So, Mother Nature, if you would kindly raise the tempture just a bit so that you don't put all of our bodies into shock it would be greatly apprechieated! 

Sincerely,
Kayla

Weekend Recap

This weekend was a short one for me.

Friday:

We headed to Old Navy for their sweater sale!  I scored:

Aren't they fun!?!?  I've never had a red sweater before, so I figured I would try it out.  Best part is, I got both for $32.00!!

After sweater shopping, we headed to Home Depot & Lowes.  Jesse will be spending the entire weekend installing a new window in the basement.

Saturday:

I worked from 11-6 and then stopped by Victoria's Secret & Bath & Bodyworks.

I got my favorite IPEX bras on clearance for $12.99.  They had 3 in my size!  That is a huge deal to be getting bras from VS for so cheap! 

We ended up staying home on Sat night and watching the movie Push.

It was ok, but it was very different.

Sunday:

We were able to sleep in, hit up Hyvee for their breakfast and head back home to do some things around the house.  Jesse finished up the basement window, which looks sooooooooo nice and I powerwashed the front stoop to try and get all of the old paint off of it.  We decided to repaint it, but put sand in it for the winter.  That way it won't be so slippary.

I ran errands and we went for a ride on the motorcycle, grabbed dinner and picked up a movie.

What a great weekend!

This weekend is the BIG weekend!  I'm super excited.  It's our first anniversary and my husband is planning most of it!  Stay tuned for Tuesday's post about how it all went and hopefully some pictures!

Have a wonderful week!
