I've already blocked out a few hours today to catch up on all of y'alls blog posts from the past week.

+went to look at engagement rings ;)
(this wasn't the first time, we've looked several times before BUT we're getting closer & closer to getting engaged now & I'm SO excited!)
+went to the bridal extravaganza
(for one of my BFFs that's getting married, not me lol)
ANDDDDD Darren has received TWO job offers to be a teacher.
Now it's just a matter of signing the dotted line on the one he chooses!
We are SO excited! :)
I have every intention of blogging every day this week instead of falling off the face of the earth. I'll be sharing a DIY housewarming gift that I meant to share with y'all last week & a recipe & some other fun stuff!
And because I absolutely adore Jason Aldean & just can't get enough, I think I'll share a recent fave of mine with y'all!
Now I'm off to catch up on y'alls lives! ;)
Linking up with Sami!
Welcome back! Looks like you've had lots of greatness surrounding you lately. :) So fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great weekend! I need to seriously start looking into houses, its on my 25 bucket list! I'm happy that Darren got job offers. Seriously one of the best feeling.

Take your time, don't feel guilty for being picky! And big congrats on D's two job offers! Such happy times, so excited for you!!!!

It looks like you have had so much fun while you've been away from the blog world! Looking for a house is crazy, we're doing the same thing right now. And my engagement ring and wedding band are from Helzberg in the mall at The Woodlands - they were so amazing and helped Jason & I pick exactly the ring I wanted within his budget!
ReplyDeleteWe started looking for houses (for real) too! And I think we're actually putting plans in place to buy a lot on a private lake from J's parents and build! Where we are going to get the money for this house, we are going to have to figure out! Haha :)
ReplyDeleteThe circus pics are so cute. I have never been to the circus. I really need to.
