Weekend Recap + Vlog Part 1

Hey y’all! I hope you’ve all had a great weekend! I had a great weekend with my Momma. It’s always so fun to have her up here.

We laid around the apartment Friday morning, and then Friday afternoon, we went to the mall to the theater. We watched Soul Surfer.soul surferIt was a very inspirational movie! We all enjoyed it, even my brother!

After the movie, we went shopping for a bit. I got a super cute top at NY & Co.

We had a great dinner at BJ’s.

After dinner, we went to Shannon Miller Park to take pictures by the statue. It was pretty fun!

We couldn’t get Colby to pose by the statue. Don’t know why!

Mom had to leave Saturday, and I had to work part of the day. I spent the evening hanging out at home. After the crazy week, it was nice to just chill for a bit. I also started recording my Q&A vlogs. I did one answering all of the questions, and it ended up being 12 minutes long! Didn’t figure y’all wanted to watch one that long, so I broke them up into three parts. Here is part 1!

I will post parts 2 and 3 tomorrow and Wednesday. Hope you enjoy!

Also, my 300th post is coming up shortly! Be looking out for a giveaway!

Have a happy Monday!

Getting To Know You!

GTKY

1. Do you watch/read the news?

Oh yes! I’m a huge news fan! I watch local news at 5 or 6 and 10, World News at 5:30, Nightline at 10:30, occasionally GMA or Today in the mornings. Plus, I read Fox News and NewsOK online. I also have several news apps on my phone! I’m kinda obsessed! :)

2. How would you describe your "look"?

Um…girly maybe? I like dresses and jewelry and other girly things!

3. Did you play sports in high school or college?

Haha, no. Definitely not coordinated enough for that!

4. Would you rather give up lipstick/gloss or high heels?

I don’t really wear either very much. I’d probably rather wear lip gloss over heels.

5. What’s your favorite show to watch on tv?

private practice

grey

idol

6. Would you rather bake or cook?

I’d rather bake. I’m not a great cook, but I do enjoy baking.

Skirts, definitely!

I don’t do scary movies at all. Not a fan!
