The Perfect Pair

Hey strangers! I can't believe I haven't blogged since last Sunday.

This week was a little much for even me to handle. I had one of my mini meltdowns (those seem to come more often these days). I literally went to bed every night at 12 so I could fit in all my homework, housework, and even managed to read a book for work. I'm beginning to see a light at the end of the tunnel...just barely. As far as school goes, all my major projects and assignments have come and gone, so now I just have a few papers left.... and my finals. With work, its slowly but surely getting there. My good friend Mark has now joined "my team" and he'll be taking some of the load off my shoulders. I'm hoping over the next few months that life will get back to normal.

This weekend was wonderful though....everything I needed. Friday night a few friends from work came over and tested out the new deck. We had a blast! We sat outside and talked and laughed for about 3 hours. Its so awesome to have such a wonderful relationship with your coworkers.

Saturday Presley and I did a little shopping like we always do. I got her the cutest little Ralph Lauren dress at Macys...half off!! Then I went to Baby Gap and they were having a sale, buy one pair of shorts, get the other pair for $10. So of course I had to partake in that event. Then low and behold....what do I see???? Why nothing else but Jellies!!!
I was so excited! A ton of memories came rushing back into my head from when I was a child! So I bought her two pair...the ones above, and a clear pair.

Saturday afternoon we headed to Jackson, TN to visit our friends Josh and Betsy. I blogged about them not to long ago. Anyway, they were in Jackson visiting her parents, so we headed up to meet them for dinner and to finally meet Miss Lily Ann Conner!

We had so much fun, and it didn't last near as long as I wanted it to :( The good thing is that Betsy and them will be in Jackson a couple times a month, so we'll be seeing them a lot more than usual!!

Today started off very lazy. Presley slept a little later than normal, and Clinton was super sweet and let me sleep in. Then we headed to Home Depot, did our grocery shopping, then went to my parents so Presley could run around like crazy....and she did.

There is sooooo much for Presley to do at my parent's house, so we always try and take her a few times a week. I decided to take my camera since I knew there were a lot of flowers in bloom there. However, I didn't take into consideration that I might want to put her in something cute...and fix her wind-blown hair after riding in the Jeep. Oh well....

Clinton put this flower in her hair...just in case you were wondering.

Clinton sat her on this goose to take a picture, but at the same time my mom walked out with the kite. Needless to say, Pres wanted the kite...not the goose.

We went out into the pasture where there were no trees, so I began snapping away at my parents horses.

Although I'm completely terrified to ride a horse, they are my favorite animal hands down. How gorgeous are they???

We all had a great, relaxing day today. The weather was perfect, Presley was full of entertainment (as usual), and we were all together...which doesn't happen as often as I would like.

I'm hoping for a better week this week. Since I don't have as much school work to focus on as I've had over the last few months, I plan to get back on track with my diet. For those of you that don't know, I started WW last November and even managed to lose 18 lbs (yes, even over the holidays) up until about mid January. Then it went down hill from there! I stopped going to weigh because I was busy, overwhelmed, and every other "excuse" under the sun. And since the first of February, I've just been extremely stressed out, and even depressed, since I've started my new position at work. Between that and school...and just life in general....a healthy lifestyle was the last thing on my mind.

I'm going to talk with this lady I've been training to see if she would want to walk on our lunch break. I know I would feel so much better mentally and physically. Plus I have a goal to meet, and so far I'm way off track.

Well for the two of you that made it through the end of the blog, I hope you have a wonderful week! Talk to you soon!
