Hidden Treasures

Went to a thrift store in town.. and found lots of fun treasures!

This chair (above) was only $50.. and i'm thinking about going back and getting it before I go back to school..

This was a sign in one of the "aisles".. giving a price breakdown... I thought it was super cute, it was a very mellow store, with lots of fun things.. as we were wandering around the owner and her little boy were sitting on a chair in the corner while he ate some noodles and watched "Little Rascals" on one of the tv's for sale! I love thrift stores, I must go back!

Birthday Dinner!

Yesterday was my birthday and for dinner Thomas and I went out to The Lodge at Pebble Beach. We didn't just go on our own, went with Thomas' work for a company dinner with the produce conference that's in Monterey right now! The scenery, the food, the drinks, and the company was amazing! (and getting all dressed up with my man was fun too!)

After dinner, and a while into our after dinner drinks, someone spilled the beans (and Thomas swears it wasn't him) to one of the servers and out of no where the lights in the room we were in shut off and a server walked in with a pretty little dessert cake with a few candles and everyone sang to me. It was super sweet, but super embarrassing. (Interesting fact about Corinne: nothing embarrassed me, but for some reason getting the "Happy Birthday" song sang to me has always been a little weird for me.)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend!!

Today..

I am 22. = ]

Green Dress Challenge??

Soooo for any of you who remember this, you remember that back in March I started a "challenge" for myself to lose enough weight to fit into this dress by May.... I put myself on a strict diet that went ok for a while and then it just kinda went away... but since I've been home for the summer I've been eating a lot better just from being home and not eating my "college" diet. So yesterday when I was getting ready for the Jason Aldean concert I wasn't sure what to wear so I figured, what the heck, I'd try it... and I am proud to announce that it FIT!!!!!!! YEAH ME!! Granted it was pretty tight and my mom and brother had to get the zipper up.. buuuuuut back in March that zipper wasn't going up any higher than the middle of my back so I am VERY excited! Yeah me!! = ]]

Jason Aldean!!! = ]

Last night was the long awaited Jason Aldean concert in Paso Robles at the California Mid-State Fair! Thomas, his sister Tiffany and I all went. It was brilliant! Thompson Square opened for him and then he sang basically every song I could have hoped for him to sing! It was an amazing concert!

Summer Songs!

I got this idea from Amanda Noel.

Country music has been a huge thing in my life since I was about 14, but this summer, being that I don't have a broadway musical soundtrack to be memorizing, it has been a huge contributor to my summer! Here are some songs that could define my life lately...

"Honey Bee" by Blake Shelton

"Dirt Road Anthem" by Jason Aldean (who, by the way, I get to see in concert tonight!)

"Crazy Girl" by Eli Young Band

"You're the love I wanna be in" by Jason Aldean

"Don't You Wanna Stay" by Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson

"Remind Me" by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood

"Where I'm From" by Jason Michael Carroll
"A Little More Country Than That" by Easton Corbin

and soooo sooo many more!

ps.. I am beyond excited for this concert tonight! Will report back later = ]

Lake Trip #5 (through the lense of retro camera!)

This weekend was project weekend at the lake! Thomas and his dad built a trellace type apperatice for shade and an patio bbq spot for out front the trailer. Those men worked their butts off in the blistering hot heat and it turned out really well!
