I've been TAGGED!!

Bride for Life has tagged me in a little game! I have to answer her 8 questions, then tag 8 people to answer 8 NEW questions that I make up :) Sound fun? Come join the fun!


Here's BrideforLife's questions that I have to answer.


1. If you could have any career other than the one you have what would it be?
-Right now, I am still in school getting a degree in Business/Marketing and plan on opening up my OWN business in Tennesse, preferrably Brentwood :) For the LONGEST time I wanted to be an elementary teacher, but after working with some fabulous people in the retail business, I just knew it was something I needed to do! However, way later in life if God has kids in my future, I would LOVE nothing more than to stay at home with them until they are school aged.
2. Post a pic of the best picture you ever took.
-Does this mean a pic of me or in general a good pic I took? Well, if it pertains to a pic of me..I really don't like pics of me unless they are in Black and White, so classy :) I don't know which one would be BEST...but I'll just put a recent pic :) If this question pertains to a good pic I took..I'm not a good picture taker, but I love ALL pics I take of my sweet Chloe, so I'll include one of those too!


3. If you were named something other than your name, what would you want it to be?
-My mom actually had a toss up between Lindsay or Lauren. So I was ALMOST a Lauren..but if I had to choose a name, It would prolly be a double name and start with the letter "M". I have decided that when/if I have a little girl one day, her name will be a double name and start with an "M". Being a Southern girl, all things must be monogramed, and well "M" looks good in every font :)
4. What would your last meal be?
-I love ANYTHING homemade and fried! My last meal would include a lot of things... A LARGE feast :) An 8 ounce Filet Mignon from Conestoga Steakhouse, cooked Medium Well. A loaded baked potato with extra bacon and extra cheese, cresent rolls, a nice and pretty salad with Ranch, Homemade French Fries, Fried Squash, Cooked Carrots and Brocolli, and Diet Coke
5. What one song reminds you of a life moment? (name song and life moment of course)
-most country songs remind me of life moments of love, fun times with friends, and family. But a favorite song about life in general is "The Time of My Life" by David Cook.

"The Time Of My Life"

I’ve been waiting for my dreams

To turn into something I could believe in

And looking for that Magic rainbow

On the horizon I couldn’t see it Until I let go

Gave into love and watched all the bitterness burn

Now I’m coming alive Body and soul

And feelin’ my world start to turn And I’ll taste every moment
And live it out loud I know this is the time,
This is the time To be more than a name

Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time
This is the time of my life Time of my life

Holding onto things that vanished Into the air

Left me in pieces But now I’m rising from the ashes

Finding my wings And all that I needed

Was there all along Within my reach

As close as the beat of my heart

So I’ll taste every moment And live it out loud

I know this is the time, This is the time to be More than a name

Or a face in the crowd I know this is the time

This is the time of my life Time of my life

And I’m out on the edge of forever Ready to run

I’m keeping my feet on the ground

My arms open wide My face to the sun

I’ll taste every moment And live it out loud

I know this is the time, This is the time to be

More than a name Or a face in the crowd

I know this is the time This is the time of my life

Time of my life More than a name

Or a face in the crowd This is the time

This is the time of my life. This is the time of my life.


6. Post a pic of your senior prom dress
-My senior Prom was in April of 2008. I actually went to 3 proms my senior year. Mine, and 2 other guy friends proms..all within 7 days!!!
7. Any vacations coming up?
-I just got back in July from ENGLAND!! I think that's my vacation of the year! I hope to go to Nashville for my 21st birthday in March, and next October my cousin is getting married in Pennsylvania, so I will be there for that.
8. What if the most dangerous thing you ever did?
-I am not that much of a dare-devil, so I haven't really done anything dangerous. If I had to choose something, it would be having surgery, flying in a plane over the ocean for about 6 hours, and riding a motorcycle...that's as dangerous as I get folks!

Fabulous Fall Fashion Finds

Yesterday I found some FABULOUS FALL Fashions...or at least I think so :) I have been wanting a pair of flat camel color boots and Steve Madden had some that were CALLING my name! Thanks to my sweet Momma, she bought them for me! I can't wait to wear them! I bought these at Belk, if anyone else wants a pair!These are the Steve Madden "Candence" Boot in 'Cognac Leather'. $109.99


Momma also surprised me with these today from Old Navy :)

This green is a MUST-HAVE color for Fall..People Style Watch said so :)


I bought this girly pink lace top from Kohl's, I haven't been in there in forever! Click HERE to see a better pic that's not blurry! I also ordered this because Wet Seal didn't have it in the store. I also had to have the belt to wear with it :)


Have a FABULOUS day!!

Fashion Emergency...

I need YOUR help! Ya'll know how much I just LOVE Express! Well, today in the mail I recieved a $15 credit AND awesome coupons :) Which means only ONE thing....I MUST go to Express and shop! I was looking online deciding on what to purchase, and I found the following MUST-HAVE for fall items! I just need your help on which ones to choose! Which do you like or dislike? Sorry the pics are kinda blurry :( Just go to express.com to make them bigger if you wish :)


I LOVE this Chiffon Ruffled Sweater Dress for $59.90. Black or Gray?
I just love LACE for Fall! I want this top in Ivory or a Oatmeal color, but Express only makes it in grey. It is still super cute though! It's only $39.90.

There are some other clothing items I want but can't get the pics to upload, that's what I dislike about Express :( O well!


I am thinking about getting this Oatmeal Lace top from Wet Seal, I never shop there anymore, but this is super cute! Imagine this with a wide camel belt, camel heels, and dark skinny jeans :)

What are your opinions on what I've shown you? What is something you CAN'T wait to wear for Fall 2010?

Weekend Wrap-Up

This weekend was such a great weekend! I can't believe how good it was :) It was relaxing and wonderful!
Friday- I had the day off :) Momma and I took Chloe to the groomers. She is such a pretty girl with her hot pink nail polish! Momma and I also went shopping to find an outfit for me to wear on Sunday. After some 'mocha frappes', we had NO luck until the afternoon at the LAST place we went to for a dress. Friday night was a relaxing one spent at home doing math homework and eating dinner with Momma.

Saturday- I worked all day Saturday and had to hear the Alabama-Arkansas score through customers that walked in the door. Let me just say that we had some pretty upset BAMA fans walk in the doors at halftime! Anyone see the game? I know there are plenty of bloggers from Arkansas reading this, and let me just say..I heard ya'll did great!! I hate I couldn't watch it!


After work, I drove to Ryan's house to watch the AUBURN game!! Auburn played South Carolina, and it was a very good game to watch..scary at times, but a good one. All I have to say is WAR EAGLE!


Sunday- I woke up and went to Sunday School and had an amazing lesson and I am looking forward to Bible Study on Tuesday night after work! My Sunday School class has lots of exciting things planned in the near future, and I can't wait. After church, Ryan picked me up at the house and we went to a Republican Candidate BBQ that his grandmother is in charge of and put together:)
*There were around 20 Republican candidates who are in office or either running for office who spoke at this event. It was planned to be outside at the park, but because of the rain it was moved to the civic center. Thankfully, it was moved there just in time! It poured all afternoon!! Alabama has needed the wonderful rain we recieved today :)

*Some candidates that spoke were Dr.Bentley for Governor, Kay Ivey for Lt. Governor, Young Boozer for Treasurer, Martha Roby U.S. Congress, and MANY more.
After meeting his family and meeting the candidates, we enjoyed the afternoon/evening watching a little bit of Sunday football and eating dinner with my momma and playing a hand of Phase 10.
I hope everyone has a great week this week! I am SO ready for a beach trip this weekend :) Also, cooler weather will be in Alabama this week..at least that's what the weather man says!

Under The Big Top!

Last night 'R' and I went on another date :) We have been on numerous dates since the blind date! We have been on fun dates, family dates, and last night we went on a date "Under The Big Top". The towns we live in are fairly small and you feel as if you do the same things over and over again, so 'R' wanted to do something different, so he got us some VIP tickets to the CIRCUS!! We felt like kids again! (I'm almost 21 and he's 24) The animals were super fun to watch and so were the acrobat/trapeze artists! Here's some pics of our night! My camera died midway through, and it didn't want to take great pics because it was kind of dark, but these will have to do!Throughout the show, the men came around selling snacks and light sticks. I was amazed that most of the time they balanced the cotton candy, snocones, and popcorn on top of their heads!

The picture above shows 2 tigers and the fire hoops they jumped through :) It was so neat watching all of the animals! Some cute doggies were also in the circus acts. This one dog in particular rode the back of a small pony, and played with it's mane, like play biting it like a soft toy, it was just too funny! 3 dirt bikes did tricks in this 1 big metal ball at the same time!!! It was crazy, i could hardly watch i was so scared for them! One girl in there riding was ONLY 11YEARS OLD!!!! That's crazy!!

I wanted some PINK cotton candy after the show, but when it was over with they didn't sell it anymore :( I was a little saddened, but 'R' said we would go to Sonic for a Snicker's/Butterfinger blast in it's place :)


**In case anyone wants to know, things have gone really well with "R" and I. We have met the parents and had some great times together...so with that being said, "R" and I have decided to take the next step..so now we are "OFFICIAL" and boyfriend/girlfriend. Yay! You know it's official once it's on FACEBOOK!**


Today I will be shopping for an outfit to wear to "R''s grandmother's "Campaign BBQ In the Park" on Sunday at 1. I will be meeting the rest of his family then...ANY IDEAS ON WHAT TO WEAR?? It's still like 90 degrees here...and this event is outside!

Happy Weekend!!

Mobile Trip

This Sunday Momma and I decided to drive to Mobile to visit Kyle and Rebecca! They were just as excited as we were! We decided to take Chloe too! Chloe did not want to sit still during the 3 hour trip there and back, but she finally layed down and snoozed :) We arrived at their house and dropped Chloe off with Magnum and Stevie, I'm sure they had a fun play date! The four of us drove through downtown Mobile and went to eat lunch at "A Spot of Tea". They were recently featured in Southern Living magazine and this is also a place that Kyle and Rebecca eat at weekly! It is such a cute restaurant. You can choose to eat outside or inside, and the food was delicious! They had like 15 SWEET TEA flavors!! I had the Strawberry Sweet Tea and YA'LL, IT WAS AMAZING!!!! So yummy! I had the chicken salad croissant with hashbrowns (they are well-known for these)


*Here I am holding sweet Stevie :)
After lunch, we all went to Spanish Fort/Daphne to do some shopping at a newly built outside mall. They had a lot of cute shops and stores that I had never seen before..one store that I had a little too much fun in was CHARMING CHARLIE. Remember the post last year about the one in Tuscaloosa? My brother was so sweet to carry my bags. We enjoyed walking, talking, Coke Icee's, Mocha Frappes, and shopping :)

At Charming Charlie I bought a few necklaces thatI could layer with :) and also I bought momma a pair of clip-on earrings, they had a wide selection! She has to wear clips :(
After an afternoon of fun, we worked up ANOTHER appetite! In the SOUTH we just love our food! We decided on NEWK'S before heading back home. I however, just opted for "breadsticks", basically just ate crackers. I was still stuffed from lunch! Mom had a Greek salad and forgot to specify half, so they came with a HUGE one! I helped eat the feta and black olives :) Kyle had the Crab and Lobster Bisque, Rebecca had soup and a half sandwich.
Yes, my brother decided to act silly for the camera. He's a goof!

I hope everyone has had a great weekend!!
**I decided on the GREY Big Buddah purse from posts previous :)**Thanks for all the comments that you left! I have enjoyed the grey very much so far!
