Those Bloody Brits

Ok so originally I was going to boycott the royal wedding, because quite frankly watching it would have no impact on my life whatsoever and there are alot more important things going on in the world. I did however cave and these are a few reasons why...

1. I have always had a fascination with the royals possibly because before I was born I was going to be named after these two lovelies...(I obviously wasn't though)




2. I used to have pictures of this boy on my wall...before he went bald. (So I still have a soft spot for him.)



3. I love a hat. I mean why haven't Americans embraced this? Wouldn't it be fun if on a bad hair day you could throw on a large hat and say "don't look at me, look at the hat!" I mean the stuff they wear makes me want to burn every baseball hat I own. These are some of my favorites...




4. Lastly I love a British accent. I could listen to them talk all day long.The first Americans came from Britain, it is a shame that the mystical accent didn't stick. Here's a sampling of the eloquence from one of my new favs...The King's Speech.



I don't feel like watching the wedding is the most profitable use of my time, but it is on the DVR and I love the Brits so I guess I will watch and have a bloody good time doing it.

My Newest Venture

This past week/weekend Drew was working out of town. For the first few days my BFF Jenna stayed with me and then for the latter part of the week/weekend I stayed with my parents mainly because I had like a 3 day migraine and I love it when my mommy takes care of me. All that being said my mom is teaching me to crochet. I am currently working on a blanket which will definitely deserve a post in and of itself. This junk is tedious, but rewarding as well. I keep thinking of all the gifts I can make. Also this is what people did back in the day so I feel like it is also a way to channel my inner 1940's housewife. Hey Mrs. Cleaver, Hey!!! So now that you know what I am doing in my life here are a few things that I want to try to do with my new-found skill:

Precious hats like these...


A purse like this...


I love a pair of slippers...


Thanks for the ideas Etsy!

A few videos to make you smile today...

And this last one will make you smile and probably cry a little too...

Summer Lovin’

I love summer and I love the sun! For the first 9 years of my education I was forced to wear dresses to school and thus rebelled against the idea of wearing them for fun. Now I love a pretty summer dress. I have been in a dress kind of mood, but alas I don’t have nearly as many as I would like. If I could buy these pretties from Modcloth I would be a summer dress wearing goddess…What do you think?

You say it’s your birthday…

Twenty seven years ago today, before I was even born, God gave me a precious gift…Drew.  He is one of the most tenderhearted and loving people I know. He is crazy and fun…my favorite person to laugh with…a hard worker…a great dirt bike rider…smart…and a great listener. Drew is so many things to and for me. I don’t know where I would be without him. Happy Birthday Drew…I love you!

New Look

Ok so I have been in a redecorating mood, but alas you need time and money to do that, so I decided to change the look of the blog. Thus the new look. I was pretty excited I figured out how to do all this.

In other news I am about to take a Spanish test and need to study, so I will leave you with a song I am absolutely in love with and is a reflection of where I am right now…marital bliss. Isn’t weird how you love your husband every day, but sometimes you just love him a little sweeter and miss him a little more even when you are only apart for a few hours? Love makes you crazy.

Let summer begin…

This past weekend I got a little dose of summer. It being my Spring Break we took a little trip down to Jacksonville. I am in love!!!!! When Drew and I first visited there after his parents moved in September, I really liked it, but didn’t get time to fully appreciate all it has to offer. Needless to say after a trip to the TWO STORY Forever 21, two trips to my favorite cupcake shop, and walking along the beaches I want to live there. Drew and I both had a great time hanging out with his parents and just enjoying the beauty that is Jacksonville, FL.

Isn’t it beautiful?

I love Cupcakes!!!!!!

Needless to say we will probably be using too much gas to visit this summer, because we are both aching to be back there. I am so ready for school to be out and for lazy days in Jacksonville and elsewhere to begin…I will work going to work in there somewhere. ;)

I plan on visiting this turtle many, many times this summer!
