Happy almost Friday lover faces!
Warning: this post has lots of hashtags- for those hashtag haters- please watch this video first:
I’ll be the first to admit that I tend to be a little bit of a social media whore girl. Part of my job is to see whats trending, whats happening on fb and don’t get me started on my favorite past time, Pinterest (side note- if we aren’t following each other, let’s do that shall we? I have like 5 boards dedicated to weddings, an engagement ring board with out having a boyfriend, a bunch of recipes I will most likely not get around to, and more DIY projects than I possibly have for) #endPinterestrant
Anyways.
A trend I’m loving is #throwbackthursday. Before I get started with some old- and some embarrassing pictures- there is a preface to what encouraged this weeks photos.
I moved a little over 6 weeks ago. I’m by myself- which I have a love hate relationship with. No need to go into it. This is an upgrade from living with two lovely girls this summer- but still a downgrade from the 4 bedroom house I’m used to. Yes- I did have to give up my closet floor. I know I know #firstworldproblems.
Its all apart of this being a grown up process. I’m working on it…. SHINY OBJECT…Back to my point. It took me probably a good 6 months to decorate our house, so I shouldn’t be surprised that it still looks like someone just moved in my new place. I have decorate a little, hung curtains, bought furniture, and of course my closet is done. BUT if anyone wants to come hang the ikea floating shelf of doom, or the 50 pound mirror (life lesson #832, yes it does need a stud) please be my guest.
I love to decorate with pictures, specifically family photos and long term friends (this way you aren’t redecorating every time a new man boy comes along). I found several old photos that instantly made me smile, and I thought I would share them with you.
Now this has to be one of my favorite pictures of me and my dad ever. While ever is a bold statement- I can look at this picture every day and it will still bring a smile to my face.
Coming up with a favorite picture of my mom is a little more challenging- most likely because there are too many to choose from. The older I get, the more I get told the more we look a like. I don’t see it, but any comparison to my mom has to be a major compliment. While this may not be my favorite picture, its one of my absolute favorite memories. Yep that’s right, 16th Birthday. My family tends to go all out on Birthday which might be where I learned to have birthday months errr weeks. This birthday in particular I don’t ever feel will be topped. Let me give the the cliff notes version, because I have a feeling this might require its own post soon.
Here it is: my favorite person and lifetime best friend, VEGAS, Celine Dion concert (I honestly cried through the entire thing I was so happy), my first Tiffany’s purchase, dressing up, looking at wedding venues and buying my “one of kind” prom dress.
For those of you who know me, yes my mom did put ALL of my favorite things into a weekend. Best memories EVER!
And while my brother originally posted this on Facebook as payback for posting an embarrassing picture of him… I must admit I have a thing for Marilyn, as my 8 year old self wanted to be her for Halloween too. I can at least say that I think this years costume was at least a little more well done.
Hope you all are having a fantastic week- and at least we are almost to Friday!
