This weekend was so great!
Friday night we sold my hubby's car private party for much more than that stupid dealership wanted to give us... I'm talking almost double...
We then decided to celebrate by first going to Old Navy's Stuff & Save event where we scored some great finds! We then went to Las Margarita's and I had a huge margarita and some delicious food!
While we were eating this conversation took place:
Hubby- (At 7:02pm) O shoot, we were suppose to be eating with my co-workers at 7 tonight! It's Jochen's last day. We'll just meet up after dinner for a drink or two
Me- Sounds great (while sipping my margarita that is only 1/4 gone)
Hubby- (5 minutes later)- Are you ready to go yet?
Me- Uh.... I don't think I'll be having a drink at the next stop as I have to chug 1/2 of my 16oz margarita!!
Hubby- Well good, by the time we're ready to leave the bar, you'll be good to drive.
Me- Jee, thanks!
After dinner, we headed to the bar for a few drinks with friends. We ended up staying out way too late (that's actually only 11:00) because my friend from work, Katie, headed out to meet us.
We were able to sleep in on Saturday, until 8:00am! haha yeah yeah, I know... Not much sleeping in. We woke up, made breakfast and I set out to start cleaning the house. I met up for lunch with my friend, Jill, and then headed home to finish cleaning. I got the entire house cleaned, FINALLY! It needed it so bad. We stayed home Friday night and had one of Jesse's friends over for a cookout and to play some Call of Duty. Yes, I know what you're thinking. I actually like the game only because I'm not half bad at it! Don't judge me!
Sunday we slept in a bit later, hubby got up to mow the grass and I finished some laundry and made breakfast for the two of us. My mom came to visit for the day and we went for lunch with Jesse. Afterwards, we hit up the mall and TJ Max. I actually got some great finds there! I also scored a pair of Steve Maden sandles from Younkers for $7.50! (reg. $52.00) I was pumped! After shopping, my mom wanted to get back on the road. I cooked dinner and hubby washed & detailed my car. Which was so nice of him, it looks great! I then settled in to watch a bit of TV and catch up on my google reader!
I hope you all had a fantastic weekend! We'll be traveling again this weekend, but only part of it so that's good! I also have to share with you the great ETSY finds that were delivered to my door today! Maybe tomorrow!

All About Us!
I got this from Miss Honey Dew
♥ What are your middle names?
Kayla Jo
Jesse Adam
♥ How long have you been together?
2 years 11 months
♥ How long did you know each other before you started dating?
a week or so
♥ Who asked whom out?
It was both of us, he wasn't really good at talking to women (about dating) so I had to step it up, but he actually officially asked me on a date first
♥ How old are each of you?
me- 24
him- 27
♥ Whose siblings do/did you see the most?
Mine, because my brother is closer, but we try to see his brother as often as possible
♥ Do you have any children together?
Not yet!
♥ What about pets?
Bear(dog)- He'll be 6 in September and he is the biggest baby! Josie & Allie are our cats and they complete our little family for now. Our life would be so boring with out pets, I don't know how people do it!
♥ Did you go to the same school?
Nope. I went to Loras College, J went to The University of Wisconsin Platteville
♥ Who is the smartest?
When it comes to technical things, cars, how things work, etc... It's him, but we are both common sense smart :)
♥ Who is more sensitive?
O, me for sure!
♥ Where do you eat out most as a couple?
We like to change it up ever now and then. We love Chinese though!
♥ Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Mexico for our honeymoon
♥ Who has the craziest exes?
hmmmm that's probably a toss up
♥ Who has the worst temper?
Him, for sure. Though I can crack every once in awhile
♥ Who does the cooking?
Me. He cooks every now and then and he does all of our grilling
♥ Who is more social?
Probably me. But we both like to stay home quite often.
♥ Who is the neat-freak?
probably more so me.
♥ Who is more stubborn?
Him. Though, once again, I can be pretty stubborn.
♥ Who hogs the bed?
Me. I usually wake up with Bear on the right side of me in the middle of the bed and J is almost falling off.
♥ Who wakes up earlier?
Him. He wakes up about 30 minutes earlier than I do on most days. Except for the weekends, we always get up together.
♥ Where was your first date?
On a motorcycle ride. yes, I know... What.was.I.Thinking.... haha
♥ Who has the bigger family?
Immediate family, we have the same size family. Extended family, mine is huge compared to his.
♥ Do you get flowers often?
No. I get them on very very very rare occasions. (I'm talking, almost two years ago was the last time I got flowers) but, being the engineer that he is, he feels that they are not practical because they die so quickly.
♥ How do you spend the holidays?
Hitting every place possible. His parents life 4 hours from us and mine live 1.5 hours away. we always try to spend time with both sides of our families because it's what we feel we should do. (And we want to do it too)
♥ Who is more jealous?
I'd say neither. Maybe me a bit more.
♥ How long did it take to get serious?
For me it was almost immediately, but for him it took a couple months. being burned in a past relationship made him leery, but I sure proved him wrong and I even told him I would :-)
♥ Who eats more?
Him. But I can eat my fair share.
♥ Who does/did the laundry?
Me. If I ask for help folding, he will pitch in, but I'm stuck doing 98% of it.
♥ Who’s better with the computer?
Him. He has more patients with the computer than I do.
♥ Who drives when you are together?
Him. Ever since we started dating he's been the driver. I'm not a huge fan of driving, and he loves it.

The Time Travelers Wife
Have you seen it? What did you think?
I went to see this movie last week with my friend, Amber, and I'm still not sure what to think of it. It was a decent movie, but I would probably recommend waiting until it comes out on video to watch it. We went at 4:30, so we were able to pay the cheaper price, which was nice, but it still probably wasn't worth the whole $6.50.

Complete Opposites
So, my brother and I are complete opposites. I would just liketo name a few for you:
- He's tall. I'm Short
- He likes to spend his money. I like to save my money.
- He likes to party. I like to stay at home.
- He can argue like nobody's business w/o getting upset. I get upset because I can't argue well w/o blowing up.
- He was a super good athlete. I was a mediocre athlete.
- He was on homecoming court and popular. I was not.
Even though we are so complete opposite in almost all aspects of our life's, we are still brother & sister. I wouldn't change it for the world, because in the end if I ever needed anyone to be there and support me I know I could count on him. No.Matter.What. He's my only brother and my only sibling. We don't see eye to eye about a lot of things, but we know we're family and nothing else matters. I love my big brother! :-)
Oooo My love....
Yes, Friday, that's you I'm talking about!! You're here, I've waited all week for you and you're finally here! I wish you would come around more often, it seems so long since the last time you were here! I'll be begging for you to come back again in about two days, so be ready!
Last night was great. Old Navy was having their last day of their $19 jean sale and we headed over to take advantage of it along with a 25% off coupon! Score! We ended up with a great deal and 4 pairs of jeans! :-) Though, being the tall 5'0" girl that I am, I will still need to get them altered before I can actually wear them! (I think I should get a special discount for that, don't you??) We headed home to make a quick dinner and sit down to relax and watch a movie. We were in bed by 9:30, no kidding!
This morning I had to get up extra early to go to the dentist... I mentioned here, my love for the dentist. Not really for the dentist himself, but more so for the clean feeling afterwards!
Tonight I'm planning to go to Old Navy for their Stuff & Save!! I've been waiting forever for this and if they don't have my cute blue bag with the bird on it' someone's going to hear about it! :-) On a nicer note, we have planned a date night for tonight as well! I'm so very excited! We're grilling out, having a bottle of wine and sitting at the table for dinner! :-) Then we're probably just going to watch a movie. We decided no work for tonight at the house, we're just going to relax and enjoy eachother's company!

Saturday:
Sleep in! FINALLY! Enough.Said.
Get caught up on a few things at the house since we've been traveling for God knows how long.
Meet up with a friend for lunch at 12:30 and do a little shopping.
Back home to do whatever it is I need to do and then we have a cookout to go to.
Sunday:
Sleep in, yet again!
My mom's coming today! I'm very excited about that. I also mentioned about it here, and that we use to shop and do lunch every Saturday before we moved. It should be a great relaxing weekend at HOME!
Any big plans for your weekend???

Thankful Thursdays
Today I am thankful for:
- My new blogy friends! I've had a lot of new followers lately and I'm very thankful that they are willing to give a damn about what I have to say! :-) Thanks!
- Weekends at home. This is the first weekend in 9 weeks that we've been able to spend the entire weekend at home, doing whatever we want! I.Can.Not.Wait!
- Co-workers. I don't know how I would get through the day without them. I love all of our inside jokes and all of the laughs we have when we're really stressed out.
- Friday. Enough said about that
- Fall weather. I love football time and football weather.
- Starbucks. When the weather gets cold, I love to hop on over and get a Carmel Spice Apple Cider. (I probably won't hop over so much as drive) If you haven't tired these, it is a must!
- My Mom. She's visiting this weekend and we're going to go for lunch and shopping like old times. When I lived closer, it would be our Saturday routine and it was so much fun. I really miss getting to spend more time with her.
- The Dentist. I actually hate going, but I love how my teeth feel afterwards. ( I have an appointment tomorrow morning, pray for no problems!!)
