Happy Weekend!

Happy Weekend, everyone! 

I don't know about you guys but 3 Putt is out of town and I am laying low this weekend.  Mainly because hey -- I'm poor and unemployed but also because I would like to read and maybe try to get ahead on all the laundry that followed us home from Scotland and keeps multiplying. I ended up having a really great and positive week and I hope you did, too! I have some real movement on job stuff (heck, it's happening faster than I thought it would) and I am really proud of myself for my hard work in really trying to get out there and find something that I will love and make a career transition.  What they say is true -- you get what you give, so I am giving all the effort.  

In other great news -- we are at least getting a touch of spring weather here in Georgia! Finally.  3 days in a row of at least into the 60's.  It was still a bit cold for shorts on our run this morning but all my workout pants were in the never-ending laundry pile. But soon! 

I actually spent Friday night here completely stressing and pinning all the things on Pinterest and worrying about my dress shopping appointment in a few weeks.  I'm not really worried that I will look terrible in them or anything but I am concerned about finding something I love and that is appropriate for our small wedding venue within the budget.  I'm sure it will be fine but you spend a night inside watching every episode of Say Yes to the Dress that is on TLC and it gets in your head. One thing I am happy to report is that 3 Putt's mom is actually going to be in town the day I made my appointment so I am really happy that I will be able to include her since they miss out on so much because we are all so far away from each other.  So, if nothing else I can at least be really happy with that. 

Oh well, I am quite sure your Saturday does not involve talking me off the wedding dress ledge.  I have been all motivational this week and saw a quote that I want to carry with me this weekend and at least through the next week.  I thought I would share this as well (because we do all the over-sharing here on this blog). 

Okay I'm going now.

Catching Up

Hi, Everyone! Just wanted to drop some quick lines so we can all catch up since life has been so busy! 

The Housewife has been super MIA. I am sure you noticed. But, she does have a valid excuse.  She is mid-rennovation this week and has been staying with her wonderful In-Laws while all the dust settles on those gorgeous hardwoods.  They ended up starting two days later than planned when The Housewife noticed that the brought in the wrong size planks for her floors.  It's always something!

We are still in full-on Bridesmaid mode this week! Today we leave for a girls trip to Folly Beach/Charleston, South Carolina for Little A's Bachelorette Weekend.  This vacation couldn't come soon enough for me for a few reasons.  First, I have decided to take another job.  I had some interviews over the last few weeks and found a more stable company that is also closer to home.  It's been a rough week because it's hard to put in your notice at a place you loved and leave your work family.  I have so many co-workers there that I value and some incredibly close friends there as well.  More on this later! Secondly, I have had to cut some vacation time I already had planned out since I have to start my new job where I need to accrue my PTO {lame}.  So I am going to enjoy every second of my time off until I go back to work on Tuesday. 

In other random news, I was jokingly texting Little A about TDH and then I sent a second blip about wanting to beg him to be my wedding date in June. Except I sent that text to TDH. Yes -- you read that last sentence correctly.  It didn't really mention him by name, but I was mortified.  Actually, I am still mortified.  I said "beg" for goodness sake! Beg!  I was dying {why does this not look like a real word????}.  Seriously.  I am a moron. 

Thank God he is nice and understanding and wrote me back immediately that it was "no big deal".  It doesn't appear that I have sent him running back into New Jersey to disappear forever {not yet anyway}. 

Also, I hate my iPhone right now.  You know, since it's my phone's fault, not mine...

The Housewife and I wish you an early "Happy Weekend" since we are hitting the road this morning! 

Love you. Mean it.
