Friday Faves!

It's Friday, so it's time for FRIDAY FAVES! Is it sad that I look forward to Friday not only for the fact that it is the weekend, etc., but I get to do Friday Faves! Ha I'm such a dork.

Here goes!

THIS LUNCH:

Being a paleo lately has made me come up with creative lunches. This might be the best salad I have ever had! Romaine, carving board turkey, avocado slices, a sprinkle of cheese, a couple spoons of dill relish, and oil/vinegar dress. YUM. 


THIS WEATHER:

Yes this is the weather report in North Alabama today. I'm in HEAVEN! Makes me really miss home in Pensacola though =(



THIS BOOK:

Pat's grandmother just finished this book and let me borrow it. A lot of her students had been reading it so she had to check it out for herself. SO glad she did because I can't put it down. 


THIS FACT:

We are moving in a little over a week to a new house in town. I am so excited because we are finally going to be able to fix it up however we want! YAY!! It is a wonderful 3 bed/2 and a half bath house with a big backyard, a den with a wonderful fire place, etc. I will be doing a full before and after feature on it once we get it all finished. The men are hard at work doing the hard labor (laying new flooring, fencing in the backyard with a privacy fence, etc.) and me and my mom are busy picking out paint colors, etc. I am so excited to show yawl!

THIS RUNNING PLAN:

No, I am not training for a half marathon. I just really like following this training plan because it keeps me on track for getting 4-5 days of exercise each week. I like plans. If I begin to feel like I actually want to apply this stuff towards a race one day then so be it. Now, I am just doing it for exercise, enjoyment, and accountability. Thanks Miley for the plan!


What are your Friday Faves?!

Seeing green

Since I am not following my tradition- spending the day lounging on the beach with my friends in Pensacola from 10 am - 2 am wearing our green bathing suits (or atleast our green coverups), I figured the least I could do in honor of St. Paddy's day is post some of my favorite green items =)

Was that the longest sentence ever? Ahhh

CUTE bathing suit... Victoria's Secret

Skirt from Forever 21

Love this romper from VS

Teal pillows for our couch!

And last but not least a throwback picture from St. Paddy's day 2008?

THROWBACK!

Welcome to throwback photos, edition 1! Haha. Pat is gone with the computer today which has forced me to look at blogs from my old jacked up iBook. The fun thing about it has been looking through my old picture on iPhoto. I got this laptop my senior year of high school (2004-2005), so it hold pictures from the end of high school and the first three-ish years of college. Here are some of my favorites from high school:

If you follow my blog regularly, you have seen Miley before! This is on our senior cruise.

Formal night on our senior cruise

Cozumel I think? I thought this was the best picture ever... cameras have come a long way. 

Jamaica mission trip... summer after junior or senior year? I went both years so I am not sure which trip these are from. 

Sweetest boy... we made this frame the first year and when I came back the second year he still had it in his room. 

I will never forget this child.... George was his name =)

The school we visited in Jamaica.

I LOVE this picture. 

This was at the baby orphanage.

Flying home from one of the best trips ever. Jamaica Mission Team was the bombbb.

Babysitting my sweet cousin, Finn, who is now almost NINE!

A little glimpse of the damage in our backyard from Hurricane Ivan, 2004. 

My high school BFF's... Miley and Kylie. How funny.

Be back later with more from the beginning of college!

Project 31 FINALLY

So I am finally doing my next Project 31... it is now Spring Break and I can finally breathe again!

Day 25.  Style 31.  Post a pic of your favorite comfy clothes.






Road trips are a perfect time for the favorite comfy outfit. We rode with my sweet aunt to visit my Mimi in Dothan. This is my go-to when I am aiming for comfort. Danskin leggings, black rainbow flip flops, and a grey old Navy t-shirt. It may possibly be the softer shirt in the world.

When we got here we hung out for a little bit and watched a beautiful sunset from my grandmother's back porch.


Then we got dressed and got ready to head down to Marianna to see my cousin in "The Little Shop of Horrors".

Grey dress: Targer, Black cardigan: Old Navy, Black belt: thirsted, Necklace: Belk

Joy brushed her teeth the whole way and I laughed... until she gave me a Wisp and I proceeded to do the exact same thing =)


We watched the play, which was AWESOME, then got to go out to dinner with my cousin and finally meet his new fiance Madison!!! YAY! We love her =)

And that is stuff in his hair for the play by the way... he was an old man =)

Today we hung out outside because it was BEAUTIFUL! Me and Pat went down to our river, got stuck on the four-wheeler, and had a great time making memories of us =)


Soo cold!



Just pondering =)

Cool looking river wall

You can tell Pat took these pictures? 

Posin. 

And now we are stuck.

Get the sticks!

GO PAT GO!

Yay!! After we were out these were his shoes...

Beautiful view of the property on the way back

Great weekend so far! We have been doing good with the Paleo diet. We brought apples, bananas, nuts, lettuce, and salad dressing. Last night at Ruby Tuesdays I had a turkey avocado burger with no bun. YUM. Today I had chicken, a little bit of roast, and cabbage for lunch. Tonight was leftover chicken on a salad with oil and vinegar. Yum again. 

Night night! We have a run to complete in the morning!
