fill in the blank friday.

1.  My last haircut was   I think April….eeek…that’s way too long! Maybe I’ll get a trim for Christmas!

2.  My most daring hair moment was letting a friend try to highlight my hair at home…..

3.  A hairstyle I'd never be brave enough to try is a pixie..or buzz cut. Sometimes at my most frustration {i.e. humid days}, it doesn’t sound like a half bad idea….

4.  I've always dreamt of being a (blonde, brunette or red-head)   Blonde….however, I think it’d just look odd with my skin coloring.

5.  My go-to hair do is oh gosh. Mostly down and straight

6.  My biggest hair disaster was     I actually have 2 {go figure}

1) After my friend tried to highlight my hair at home…In order to get rid of the Zebra stripes, my hairdresser had to die my  hair blonde {like a “hey i just used sun-in orangish-blonde} for a week….Thank God it was close to Spring Break and I only had to go to 1 day of school like that….sooooo embarrassing!

2) I once went to a hairdresser {it was like a step up from pro-cuts, but at 13 how am I supposed to know anything different than where my mom gets her hair cut} and decided that I wanted to have my hair chemically relaxed {thinking I wouldn’t have to take 45 minutes to blow dry it & obviously pre knowing what a straightener was}. I woke up a few days after to find a 1/2 inch spike along the part on top of my head. You can imagine my reaction! {hairspray and a pony tail were my best friends for quite some time!}

7.  A hairstyle I am dying to try is The free flowing loose curls…..I’ve tried it, but not perfected it!

8.  My best hair day was actually it might have been last night….I woke up this morning and it still looked perfect!

9.  The worst hairstyle I ever had was  oooo in 2nd grade, I got bored during TAAS Testing {that’s one of the Texas Testing Programs} and cut myself some bangs. The funny part is that when I cut them I had my hair pulled out straight, not realizing that when I let go they would shrink up {because my hair is so curly}. I had awesome 1 inch bangs for quite awhile…if only I had a picture on this computer {it would make your day}

10.  My hair is sometimes my  worst enemy…..but I feel like each year I do a little bit better job styling it…one day I’ll have it down!

wow. that’s a scary picture ------>

btw. I am over the moon today! Once I figure out how to put why into words, I’ll update you!

day 13.

 

It’s my goal to

…raise a family

…run a 5K in less than 30 minutes

…work on eating better

…and be the best person I can be

day 12.

I believe

…in God and that he has a plan for me

…that people are put into your lives at the right moment

…that everything happens for a reason

…in laughing till you cry

…that what goes around comes around

…in love

…that I can never have enough pairs of Jeans or Jackets

…that Oklahoma is a great place to grow up

…in seeing the good in everyone and every situation

…that flip flops should be worn year round

…that Oklahoma football is the best

…that I have the best friends and family a girl could want!

day 11.

my favorite TV shows….

 

I’m know I could add a lot more in there too….

That’s just sad….

once in a lifetime.

I kind of had 2 once in a lifetime moments in the last 2 weeks.

2 weekends ago I went to Arlette's Wedding. It was seriously one of the most amazing weddings I've been to and I will probably never go to another one like it again. just crazy.

Beautiful Bride....even after hours of dancing and drinking

The Guest Book Table

One of the food tables {I believe the Mediterranean food}

One of the like 17 different centerpieces

This ice sculpture served us glasses of champagne as we walked in the door

This was over the dance floor

This woman looked EXACTLY like Kim G from RHONJ

The band was from Nashville and they were AMAZING

Her now husband is from Greece {so is her Mother too}, so there were tons of people who came to the States for the wedding. They did a great job of blending his background and hers too. There was Greek music, Greek dancing, and even Greek food! It was awesome!


I had so much fun and met so many wonderful people that night! What a great experience!


------------------


This weekend was also fabulous.


FRIDAY
I found out that I was going to the World Series Game 4 on Sunday Night!


I also went to a Halloween party. I was "Devil with a Blue Dress On" by Mitch Ryder.

{excuse the retarded face I'm making}

I like the idea, but I'm not sure everyone at the party got it. 
I finished the night at a local dive bar for "Scary-oke" and then to Fuzy's to cap off the night with a Fuzzy-navel. {mmmm}


------------------------


SATURDAY was game day. It didn't start till 8pm, which was crazy! Since I was leaving at 6 to head to Dallas, I was able to get in a few hours of tailgating! 


GDO #4

{It was a simple outfit this weekend as I was totally unprepared for the 80 degree weather}

I'm glad added another W to the record....


oh...and did you see the Texas Baylor game?  {ouch!}


SUNDAY could have been one of the best days I've had in a VERY VERY LONG time!


My morning started at

IKEA!

I was so proud of myself and used great restraint in what I purchased. 
• Euro Pillows for my bed
• Closet organizers for my scarves and tank tops
• Some new serving bowls and plates!


After Ikea, we headed to the Allen Premier Outlet Shops.... {by far the best outlet shops I have ever been to}
This maybe wasn't a great idea. I could have spent a whole month's worth of paychecks in just 2 short hours. But once again I used great restraint {if you call buying a Coach purse restraint} and only came away with this.

isn't she beautiful?

Our final stop before the big game was HomeGoods. I read about this store ALL over other blogs so I was super excited to go! 
The doors opened and I was in awe. Serious awe. 
It was as great as I imagine! 


I only walked away with a cooling rack {for all that baking I do...ha}, but lets just say if money and the size of our car weren't obstacles, most of the store would have come home with me =)


on to the most important part of the day....




WORLD SERIES GAME 4


My dad lucked into tickets from work. I'm not the biggest baseball fan, but I knew this was a once in a lifetime experience and I couldn't pass it up {even if it meant missing some tailgating and the first quarter of the OU game}. 

We sat on the 2nd to last row in the ballpark. It might have been breezy, but we had one awesome view of the whole place.

We waited in like for 40 minutes for some memorabilia {none of which was even for me}, ate tons of baseball food {peanuts, hot dogs, and pretzels}, and I might have indulged in a few Sunday night beers! {I was on vacation!}

We watched the former President Bushs' throw out the first pitch to my 2nd favorite Texas Ranger, Nolan Ryan {Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez is my first...I LOVED baseball in my younger years}

Sadly we weren't the best of luck for the Rangers...3 hits during a game isn't going to get you the W 9 out of 10 times. But the fans were there till the last second!


I'm so glad I got to experience this with my family. It was an unexpected check off the bucket list! 

I'm spending the rest of my 4 day weekend {thank you Election Day and the World Series} catching up on household duties...blah!

Do you ever run across something that makes everything stop for a moment?





Healing takes courage, and we all have courage, even if we have to dig a little to find it.

some days are harder than others....still.

day 10.

I’m not afraid of spiders, or snakes, or bugs of any sort.

I honestly can’t really think of anything physical that just completely terrifies me.

I guess my biggest fear in life is that I will end up alone. {no husband, no family of my own}

I’m working on getting over that.

But if that’s what God has planned for me, I’ll handle it.
