High Five For Friday

Friday, it's good to be reunited once more. You really should come around more often. Since you are finally here, time to celebrate all the awesome things you brought my way!

[one]

Little Darla (who hasn't visited this blog in awhile) got a haircut! How cute is that face? Pretty stinkin' adorable. The best part- she smells heavenly!

[two]

Boyfriend and I had our eighteen month anniversary Tuesday and he took me to Olive Garden! Yay for a night on the town and a cute outfit.

My new boots finally came after 10 days of agony! I can not longer find them online, but they came from urbanog.com !

[four]

Boyfriend took me to Krispy Kreme... their pumpkin spice donut is to die for! Nothing like some donut holes and my favorite k-cup, also♥

[five]

We finally got some rain this week and experience the brightest rainbow! It was stunning. The picture doesn't come close to doing a justice!

High Five Letters

Happy Friday! The title of this post might confuse you, it did me the first time I saw it on another gal's blog. You've all seen the "High Five For Friday" link up hosted by Lauren, and the "Friday's Letters" link up hosted by Ashley! Both are fantastic link ups... so why not combine them! So that is why this fabulous post is titled High Five Letters! 

{one}

Dear Thirty One package that arrived earlier this week... I am lovin' what you contain! Can't wait to share what I bought! Next Saturday I will reveal, can't before them because the photos showcase my mom's birthday present and my school lunch box! 

{two}

Dear Couch to 5K... thank you for exsisting. I started this program again (more details on why later) and I am so happy to be considered a "runner" again. I feel so great about myself post-workout! I will confess my previous couch to 5k experience later, along with the whole gist of Couch to 5k. If you are dying to know now, Google it.

New kicks I purchased for running, working out, and school! 

{three} 

Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for your grace, your everlasting forgiveness, and your willingness to listen and understand. Talking to you like I would to a friend is the perfect way to end every day, and begin one. You are an amazing God.♥

{four}

Dear Tyler, thank you for all you say and do for  me. Knowing I have your support means the world too me. Everytime something happens in my world, I want to run and share it with you asap. You are that person for me. "Boyfriend" has became a universal term for all things you are- they're are too many to type. Thank you for always being you, and for always loving me!

{five}

Dear Myrtle Beach, look out! Dad, Tyler, and I are headed your way!! Please grace us with great weather, and slim crowds! Thanks, you're the best!!

It's Friday!!!

Finally- I thought Friday would never come! This week has consisted of long hours in the scoring southern sun! My neighbor, Ashton, and her family are out of town which left me in charge of watering there plants. This week has been the only week in months that went without rain. No rain has left all the plants bone dry, and made the days seem so much hotter! Thankfully they return tomorrow! 


Without further or do, here are the five best things this week has brought...


1. I got my permit!! Which means I can drive from 5am-9pm with a person who has had a license for 5+ years! Exciting, exciting. 


2. My cousin took me out to dinner Monday for a belated birthday dinner! So great catching up with her and a good friend Leah!

The waiter who took this wasn't an experienced photographer...sorry!

3. I finally got to go to the Sweet Frog which just opened in Salisbury! Triple Yum!!!

4. With my $75 dollar gift card to Marshal's, I purchased two great blouses for a little over 30 bucks! This one was originally $54.00! Love me a good bargain.

5. The countdown proceeds... eight days until I smell that salty sea air! Couldn't be more ready!

If you have not ever linked up with Lauren in her weekly High Five For Friday link-up, you must join the fun! Expose your blog + meet new people! Be sure to have a fun filled blessed weekend♥

TGIF! {HF4F}

Hooray! It's Friday!!! In just two more days I'll be fifteen years old, and in three more days I'll be street legal (with a parent/guardian!!!) Time truly flies by and I'm realizing more every day that you need to make the most out of the time you have! Here are my top five things from this week! If you've never participated in a "High Five For Friday" post, go link up with Lauren @ From My Grey Desk and join the fun.

1. Building Emmie Lou's bunny condo in just two days- two very long, hot, exhausting days. When I say condo, I mean it. She loves it, which is all that matters. 

2. Finally getting a hot glue gun so I could finally tend to my list of "crafts to-do!" Make sure to come by Monday to see whats featured on "Refreshed and Reusable" Monday! It is hair-accessory related!

3. Anticipating all the goodies I will get for my birthday. The only non-fun part is I ordered all my presents, which kind of sucks the fun out of it. But I'm still super excited!

4. The countdown continues- 15 days until I'm Myrtle Beach bound with my amazing boy friend & His family. 

5. I'm having a pre-birthday celebration tonight at a local country tavern. All of the 'High Rock Supper Club' will be there, a.k.a- my dysfunctional non relation family! Word on the street is, I'll be getting presents tonight too! SCORE♥

Have a super, splendid, and safe weekend!!

HiGh FiVe FoR fRiDaY!

This week has been stressful, none the less. I'm so pleased to finally say I am no longer a freshman, but now a sophmore! Freshman year was real, freshman year was fun... but freshman year was not "real fun!" I do not dig homework, or drama, or getting ready at 6:00am so I am glad to be settling back into my naturally go with the flow lifestyle. However, here is what you've all been waiting for, my "High Five for Friday" post! Be sure to go link up with Lauren if you want to link up & join the fun!


1. Passing all my exams, and for sure making a final grade of an "A" in three of my four classes- didn't have a chance to go check my Algebra ll grade, so not sure about that one.


2. Taking a "personal day" Wednesday- aka, leaving early because I didn't feel like watching CSI. (:


3. Getting around three inches cut off my hair. I needed a new look for summer, and I was not liking my other hairstyle, what so ever.


4. Starting off my summer vacation with a good ole' best friend photo shoot! 

Ashton^

Me...duh :)

5. Falling more hopelessly in love with Tyler. He is the most supportive, loving, and passionate guy in the world. He makes me soo happy! 22 days til our beach trip!!
