Hello to New Beginnings

Hello, hello! Happy end of weekend everyone! ...I know. I'm crazy saying that. There is never anything happy about the end of a weekend, but I'm trying to be optimistic! :/

I have so much to write about, I don't know where to begin. First, let me begin with saying that I accomplished my goal of trying a new recipe. I made Chicken Francese with couscous and broccolini and it was a success! It was so delicious, juicy and lemony. It was quite easy to make too! It will definitely become part of our routine meals around here.

Okay, so Connor had his second clinical day on Friday and it went well again, of course. The whole time he was gone, I got comfy on the couch with a glass of wine, and enjoyed Friday Bride Day on TLC. There were plenty of Say Yes to the Dress episodes and Four Weddings to keep me entertained, which was nice because it made the time go by pretty quickly! And I was truly so exhausted from the week, it was so nice to just be still, decompress, and not think about anything. I almost fell asleep by 5:30, but I forced myself to keep my eyes open. I refuse to be that lame on a Friday night!

On Saturday, my future sis-in-law Mallory went shopping for a bridal gown! It was so much fun seeing her try on a bunch of pretty dresses. And everything looked so pretty, so it was so hard to choose! But in the end, she totally fell in love with a gorgeous dress, so it was a wonderful time. I was grateful to be a part of it! I wouldn't have missed it for the world. Especially since I'm such a wedding freak right now. It's like wedding obsessed at an all-time high. Yikes! God only knows what my life will become when it's all over! ...Most likely more HGTV! :O

Another beautiful gal in my life who found a dress on Saturday is my momma bear! I was so happy that we finally found something that she loves and felt beautiful in. (I think she looks beautiful in everything; however, she's much more fussy.) We ordered it in a beautiful steely purple color that looks gorgeous. I can't wait to see it on her again when it comes in the right color and the alterations are all done.

Can you believe I have even more news to tell you? Well, this won't be really big news for some of you that aren't familiar with my current vehicle. BUT for those of you who are familiar: today I SOLD MY CAR! WOOOOOOOOOO!! That car has gotten me very far...like very far, but it was time for it to go. I am so ready to be cruising around in a new, spiffy car with the windows down (weather permitting). Seriously though, it was so past due. Goodbye Toyota Matrix! See ya again never! :D

Love ending on such a high note! Hope everyone has a great start to their week,
<3 Mandy
