Hello there! Ahh the lovely weekend has come back around again, this time it's a three day one, which makes me VERYYY happy! Last night I had some drinks at the apartment, and watched "The Office" with Bob. His friend came over for for awhile, and he worked on our computer. It's been running slowly for a long time, and his friend is really good with fixing computers. I can see a difference today.That was really nice of him to do that for us.
Yesterday my veil pattern came in! My mom's going to make my veil next month. I'm so lucky that she's very helpful, and a talented seamstress! Also a pair of heels came in yesterday. I ordered them as my possible wedding shoes...and, I LOVE them! They seem like they'll be comfortable, which is very important. They got a lot of good reviews online: a lot of people said they were comfortable. I think they're really cute too. I sent pictures of them to my bridesmaids, and they all liked them. So, I'm pretty sure I'll be keeping them! I might look at heels a little bit tomorrow at the mall, in the off chance I see anything I really love, but I doubt I'll find better ones, and at a good price.
I hope we find our wedding rings tomorrow, as well as a bra for my wedding dress. I want to get those two things out of the way. I want to get as many items out of the way now as I possibly can. I don't want to be stressing at the last minute! I know the time is going to go really fast, the closer we get. It even sounds pretty close now, to say it's five months away.
Today I don't have many plans. Bob is going to his parents later on, to work on brewing beer with his brother. I'm going to clean the aparment, do laundry, work out, and call my grandmother. I'm really looking forward to tomorrow, to go to the mall and movies with Bob. We're seeing "Nebraska."
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of my favourite casual outfits. I love the pairing of this shade of bright blue with lime green. And I adore this necklace! I wish I had more to wear it with. The colours are so exceptional in it, so nice and bright.

Hello there! Ugh, we had more snow today! All day, it started early in the morning. Luckily, the drive to work was fine. But, we got out a little early today because of the weather, and when I turned out of the parking lot onto the road, I started sliding already. I got really scared, and ended up going back to my work parking lot, and calling Bob to come pick me up. The road that runs in front of my work was still slippery when he picked me up, and he was driving a big truck. The main roads ended up being alright, and since he does drive a big, heavy truck, he is less likely to slide than I am in my car. I can't believe it's not even winter yet, and we've had 3 snowfalls in a week! This is so awful.
Tonight I'm not doing much at all. Bob will be plowing for hours. I'm just going to relax- read, watch TV.
Christmas is SO close now! I can't wait until next week. This Friday is the company work party, and Saturday Bob and I are going to my parent's for their Christmas party for their friends. My sister is coming home on Friday, and will be here for a few days.
I have worn the dress in the pictures below several times on my blog. It's one of my favourites. It's the first dress I ever got from Modcloth, last February. I love it paired with this bright blue cropped cardigan and thick red belt.

Hello there! I'm glad it's so close to Friday. And next week is a three day work week, the very best kind of work week! I'll be spending a lot of time with my family. I'll be seeing them Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. My sister will be home for a few days, and my relatives from Texas are flying in on Tuesday.
On Wednesday night Bob and I are going out to a bar with some friends. We're going to be walking there, hope it's not too cold! Also hope it's not super packed at the bar. The night before Thanksgiving is the busiest bar night of the year. But, when we went out last year, it wasn't crazy busy at this bar. (The same one we're going to Wednesday.)
Tonight I'm not doing much. Just going to read and watch TV. I can't wait to go to Bethlehem on Sunday! Bob and I are meeting our two friends there. We're going to the Christmas market, and then eating at Brew Works. Brew Works is one of my favourite restaurants!
In the pictures below I'm wearing a dress that my mom recently made me. I wore it on another blog post, as well. I like it paired with the cropped red cardigan, as well as the jean jacket.

Hello there! Ahh, so close to the weekend now. Tonight Bob and I went to my great uncle's house for a little while, and my parents met us there. He lives only five minutes from us. My mom gave me two dresses that she just finished making for me, she also brought a dress with her that she's giving me for Christmas, I wanted to try it on and make sure it fit me. I love all three of the dresses! The dresses she made me look so great, she always does a perfect job with them. I'm lucky! It saves a lot of money too.
In the pictures below I'm wearing one of the dresses that my mom just finished making for me! I already had a pie print dress from Modcloth, except that the background is light blue, the colours of the pies are a bit different, and also the shape of the dress itself is different. I really love both of them though. Also, as seen below, I can't stop wearing my new fruit flats! And this cropped red cardigan has been getting a lot of use. It goes with so many of my dresses.

Hello there! Today I'm not doing too much. It'll be a typical Sunday. Bob and I are just hanging at the apartment. I'm going to do some laundry and work out. Yesterday my mom and I had a great time going Christmas decoration shopping in Pennsylvania. She was very generous, and bought me a few items. At the first shop she bought me a gorgeous little hand made feather tree, and a handmade pumpkin. These items are pictured below. The people who run the shop have a workshop there too, and make all the items in it. They are very talented!
She also bought me a couple Christmas ornaments. I actually only spent a dollar, when I bought a pumpkin beanie baby.
In the pictures below I'm wearing my Halloween costume. I hadn't bought a costume in five years. I really love this one! It's so perfect for me, since I love bright colours, and sweets! I wore it last night when Bob and I went to his friend's costume party. The only problem was, after a little while I had to put on my coat and keep it on, because his friend doesn't have heat! I even left the party early because I was so cold.
The lollipop accessory I happened to find yesterday, at Party City. It looks like it came with the outfit, because they match so well! It was only $6, too. I can't wait to wear this outfit again. I'll be wearing it to work on Hallowen.
Bob was bad/hippie Santa again, ha. He's been that several other times. He carries around a trash bag full of little wrapped "gifts." The "gifts" are hilarious. Everyone gets a kick out of it! For example he wrapped hemorrhoid cream, enemas, pennies, etc. He hits up the clearance bin at Wal*mart.
At least at the party I got to hang out with a tiny kitten for a little bit! His friend (the one who lived there) had recently gotten her. She was so adorable and sweet! I got to hold her, too. There's nothing cuter than kittens!

Hello there! In the pictures below I'm wearing a colour combo that I really love- bright blue and lime green. I don't wear this combo too often, because most of my wardrobe is pink/orange/red/yellow. I picked up this great lime tank top, as well as a bright orange tank top at Kohl's on Sunday. I don't usually see anything I like at Kohl's, but I was happy to score these two cheap tank tops, as well as two great cropped sweaters! I got one in red and one in black. I'm going to wear them all the time with my dresses.
I really like this bright blue shirt, I love the draping of it. I think that makes it so flattering. I'm always looking for clothes to flatter me, since I'm larger on top than I am on bottom.
I really LOVE the necklace I'm wearing in the below pictures. It's definitely one of my fav accessories. It was such a great find! I got it at Dillard's in Virginia Beach. It was on sale for $21. I've never seen that necklace anywhere else, and I was surprised Dillard's had it. It doesn't seem like the type of style they would normally sell. We don't have any Dillard's up near where I live. I remember first hearing about it because my aunt in Texas loves that store.
I found a Halloween Hello Kitty beanie baby at Walgreens on Sunday! (Pictured below.) I was glad to finally find one; I didn't have any Halloween Hello Kitties before.
My Halloween costume came yesterday! I hadn't bought a costume in about five years. I'm not even sure where the one I was wearing the last few years went. But, I like my new costume much more anyway! It's so colorful and adorable. It's a Candyland dress. I can't wait to wear it and pair it with so many bright accessories. :) It feels very "me."
