Weekend recap

Friday, I left off with coming home and pouring a lovely glass of wine and rewinding after a hectic crazy week. Soon after, I changed and headed to meet some friends for River Rock!

We got there around 9, grabbed some beers and then posted up to listen to some great live bluegrass music, including the popular Keller Williams.

Overall, it was a great time spent with an amazing group of people. I am truly blessed to have met such a great group of people in the short amount of time I've been in Richmond, they have been so welcoming and inviting! I can't wait for more good times to be had together.

Saturday I let myself sleep in until about 10... shocking I know. Then I decided to get a bit crafty in the kitchen..

These cuties are baby potatoes I picked up from Trader Joes last week. I cut them in half and boiled them for about 12 minutes then sauteed them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and tarragon... amazing.

After an amazing self made brunch, I headed out to the balcony for a little laying out.

The rest of the day was spent studying at Barnes and Noble, boy I can't wait for this exam to be over!

Today I am heading into work for a bit but will hopefully be off in time to do some laundry and a little relaxing before the week begins!

Happy Sunday Y'all!

Yours truly,

Recap of the week

Sheesh did this week fly by! No complaints from my end, I am definitely looking forward to catching up on some sleep this weekend! While this week was off to a bit of a rocky start, it ended up being a lovely week...

Monday- I spilled coffee on myself being walking into work.. great I know. People were kind enough to lie to me and let me believe that somehow the coffee splatters looked like a design on my white shirt. Work was also a bit stressful that day, but it ended strong with a GREAT class of kickboxing! I am officially addicted.

Pants: Banana Republic

White Top: Forever 21

Sweater: The Limited

Tuesday was another rough one and a majority of my day was spent arguing back and forth with Bank Of America about why my new credit card has not yet made it to me... I was not a happy camper.

Shirt: Banana Republic

Green Pants: Old Navy

Wednesday I actually had the day off to head home and see my mom graduate from her Physical Therapy program! I squeezed in a quick run in the morning before I got on the road but was home early enough to spend some time with my mom and my grandma before the festivities started. I could not be more proud of her and was also glad to spend time with my family after a not so fun 2 days.

She's the first one on the end of the row in the orange!

Thursday morning I was a bit sluggish after driving back to Richmond so late but eager to get back to work and even more excited when my roommate told me about a yoga class she was going to after work. This yoga class was going to be held at St. Johns Church and I had heard awesome things about the instructor. I am so glad I went, the relaxation and stretching was exactly what I needed to end the week! After yoga my roommate and I headed to a friends for a great dinner and a ~~few~~ glasses of wine.

Also another note about Thursday- when I'm at work I carry a pager around so that anyone can page me at anytime to get a hold of me. About an hour before I was about to leave work for the day, I received an anonymous page saying what a great job I am doing and the hospital is so happy to have me... talk about making a girls day!

Friday I wanted to get up early for a run, unfortunately that did not happen. Instead I headed to my favorite coffee spot for a bit of studying for my certification. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of my outfit before I flew out of the door but the day went quick and before I knew it I was home with a glass of wine in hand!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and enjoys this amazing weather!

Yours truly,

Let's Do Some Decorating...

Now that I have moved into my new apartment and have started getting more settled, I've been thinking of more ways to decorate my sweet little apartment. Here are some prints and ideas I have had my eye on...

Being that both my roommate and myself went to school in the south...this print seems extremely appropriate

My roommate has a weak spot for champagne and I think this will be fabulous in our kitchen

LOVE this peace/quiet pillowcase set

obsessed with the idea of different color chevron panel pieces

I happen to have an empty canvas and I think this is a great idea- masking tape and color of your choice.

Yours truly,
