Another SAM'S Find

I am just LOVING my new SAM'S membership :) I love the low gas prices, $1.25 Coke Icee's, bulk food, and low price magazines and books! When I bought my new planner that is in the previous post, I also found and bought this devotional book for UNDER $6! It includes 12 weeks of bible study and questions for "deeper digging". I am SUPER excited to start this tomorrow and will let ya'll know how well I enjoy it!

OVER THE TOP: Discover God's Extravagant Love
Forward by Mary Graham
Here's what the back of the book says. This helped "draw me in" and I knew this was a must-have!

Do you think you know everything there is to know about God? Do you think you understand the extent of His love?

It's easy to take God for granted. We go to church, read the bible, discuss God in small groups and Sunday school, and all of a sudden we are God experts. We know God loves us. We know He showers His generosity over us. We know He restores us. God's love is not a trickle, but a deluge; His generosity is not a drizzle, but a flood. He delights in surprising us beyond our wildest dreams. Are you ready to be amazed? Then come catch a glimpse of everything God has in store for you as He goes above and beyond, forward and onward. Over the top.

Have you ever come on anything quite like the extravagant generosity of God? Romans 11:33

Sam's Club also had these other 12-week devotional books too! I can't wait to get these as well, I may need to go ahead and get them before they sell out!

*EXPERIENCING PEACE: With God you can live beyond fear
*DISCOVERING JOY IN YOUR CREATIVITY: You are made in the image of a creative God
*IMAGINE: God can do more than you ever dreamed.
*EMBRACING YOUR STRENGHTS: Who am I in God's eyes.

Planning Made Easy..and cute!

Recently, I have been on a huge hunt for the PERFECT 2012 planner that is super cute and fits in my purse. It needs to be stylish and perfect for helping me stay organized! This week I went to Sam's Club during my lunch break and my hunt ended. I found this FABULOUS planner for under $9! They had 2 different designs to choose from and I chose this one by Lily Ashbury (she also designs fabric).
It came complete with stickers to help with reminders of things such as; Pay Bills, Family Event, Weekend Getaway,Party, Movie, Girls Night, Volunteer, Shopping, Lunch Date, Coffee Date, Vacation, Doctor, Dentist, Hair Appt, Nail Appt, and Birthdays! How awesome is that? Here's a peek at the inside :)
 If you want your own planner like I bought but you aren't a Sam's Club member, then no worries!! Just order one from HERE for $14.99.

One thing I love is that each week the planner has a quote to help start your week on a positive note! I thought I would share with you this week's quote.

Weekly Movie Night

Momma and I had our weekly movie date tonight! We decided to eat at Red Elephant for dinner where Momma ordered the grilled and blackened MahiMahi and I ordered the O-SO-Fabulous "Pasta Ya-Ya" (without mushrooms of course). It was simply delicious!! Here's an awful cell phone pic ..they forgot to NOT add mushrooms, so they had to take it back and make it without mushrooms. Underneath the chicken is some fantastic cooked carrots and squash :)


We decided to see Change-Up tonight. It was quite hillarious!
 I am soo ready for The Help to come out!! It comes out TOMORROW! I start back to school next week and no more movie nights with Momma :(
Have a great rest of the week!

Lately Lovin's

Happy Monday!

Weekends are always so short, why is that? This past weekend I spent my time relaxing, watching movies, and hanging out with my bff Rebekah :) I also picked up a tennis raquet and played for a bit, which I haven't done in 3 years, and walked downtown! Then it got WAY TOO HOT! 

I figured I would share with ya'll some things I'm lovin' lately :)

Starting with food first! Because that's the most important

Rold Gold Braided Twists - Honey Wheat flavor
-These things are AMAZING! The perfect lil' healthy snack too. The honey taste has a nice lil' sweet kick.
Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches- Cookies and Cream flavor
-I haven't tried any of the other flavors, but I'm sure they are just as fabulous. These are ONLY 150 Calories a sandwich!!! Score!
I am lovin' these $69.90 Express dress pants I totally scored on clearance for $17.99 :)
Big Brother!
I am loving that Jordan and Jeff are still in it and going strong! Rachel is getting on my nerves and I wish she'd go home!

Anyone else lovin' anything lately?

Smore' Lovin'!

I just love a good CUPCAKE. There's nothing better than a little cupcake pick-me up to make any day turn so much better! Look what Momma got me yesterday as a special "Big Brother" watchin' treat!!
Look how yummy this looks...wanna get a better close up?

In case your wondering...DELICIOUS!!! Momma and I also tried their new specialty. Chocolate Covered BACON!! Pretty good if you ask me :)


Have a FABULOUS weekend!!

Summer's Ending..

Summer is coming to an end and school is starting back up again! Personally, I am beyond ready for fall! I just love the changing of the leaves, cool, crisp air, boiled peanuts, and cute sweaters/coats! This past weekend I had a girls night with my best friend Rebekah! It was MUCH needed! We had dinner at a newer brick oven pizza restaurant in historic downtown Dothan and had a blast catching up on life. I didn't take any pics of our girls night, but here's a pic of the new top I wore from Charlotte Russe! I showed my student ID and got 10% off :) It looks better in person! I wore it with skinny jeans and my Gianni Bini wedges :)

I also got 2 necklaces for $5 a piece at CR!! Here's a pic of one of them.

Saturday Erica did my make-up for Heath's 10-year high school reunion!! My face is usually really dry so Erica decided to give me a steam facial :) It was fun and now my face is super soft and not dry! Here's an awful blurry phone pic :) See the steam? No laughing, because this was OBVIOUSLY before the make-up was applied :)
I personally didn't take any pics from the reunion...crazy me right?!?!? I do have a friend that took some, so maybe I will post some later on.

Is anybody trying to squeeze any last minute trips/activities into the remainder of summer?

Tuesday Movie Night

Tuesday's have always been "date night" for momma and I! Heath has been coming. Heath has been coming with us every now and then if he's off work :) Last night we went to see Captain America, it was really good!
Last week, we saw this....it was hillarious!
Any thoughts on what we should see next week?
