“The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one's relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.” -Hugh Walpole, Sr.

8/25/07.....

Saturday, August 25, will mark Trevor and I’s 5 year anniversary; Five amazing, exciting, wonderful years that I have spent with an incredible man. Trevor is not just my boyfriend, but my best friend. He knows everything about me and continues to love me. (Even when I am cranky and won’t pick out a place to eat, hehe) Trevor, in my humble opinion, is a jack of all trades. He has so much patience (something I completely lack), everyone who meets him likes him, he makes me laugh every single day, he is extremely intelligent and when he sets his mind to accomplish something, he never fails.

I believe all relationships take love, hard work, and understanding to be successful. Trevor and I work hard to be happy and also to be happy with each other. I am extraordinarily proud to say that we rarely have big arguments at this point in our relationship. Sure we have our disagreements, but I guess after 5 years we know what each other’s buttons are and do are absolute best to stay far far away from them. Our happy place is with each other, but we also love being with our loved ones (family and friends). We both have a passion for living life and having as much fun as possible which makes for some wonderful memories over the past five years.

So today, (yes, a little early, but we are doing a birthday party on Saturday and have friends coming in tomorrow) I thank GOD for that moment 5 years ago, on my 19^th birthday, when Trevor asked me very politely to be “his girl”. I am so blessed to have found the one that makes me heart whole, the one that I have prayed for since I was a little girl, the man that makes me laugh every day, the man that loves my family as much as they love him, and the man that makes me feel like the luckiest girl in the world, Trevor. I love you with all my heart and all my soul and cannot wait to see what adventures and memories the next year brings for us.

Trevor and I don't have one particular song (but many) and today this is the one that keeps playing in my head when I think of how lucky I am. Plus the video is adorable and cute and I am in that kind of mood today. 

Well guys, I am off to finish this Thursday, (which just happens to be my Friday). Have an AMAZING weekend dolls! I know I will.

Friday Favorites

It's Friday, which equals Friday Favorites time with Carlie at The Duplechin Daily

WHAT I'M LOVING!!!

Aggie Football Season Tickets are in!!!

Wednesday when Trevor went to check the mail he walked in and said we got a very expensive package today. Knowing we paid our first born quite a bit for these tickets I knew what it had to be. Did you know that the "average" sports fan will spend $90,000 on their favorite sports team throughout their entire lifetime? (That is insane, but totally believable.) This is our 3rd season as season ticket holders, and I cannot wait to get back to tailgating and the sea of maroon and white which is Kyle Field on gameday. Another exciting part of this upcoming season is our tailgate is being sponsored by Saint Arnold's Brewery ! If you are on campus and near the lot H, look for "Dat Crew Tailgate". Thanks and Gig'Em!

Flowers just because.

After making the 13 mile/38 minute drive home yesterday I walked in the house to find these sitting on the counter. I feel very blessed to have such a thoughtful boyfriend who doesn't need a reason to spoil me. He's amazing. :)

Sonic Fridays.

Yes, every Friday morning I treat myself to a Route 44 beverage from Sonic. It's delicious and it makes my Friday morning happy. You should try it sometime.

Upcoming Festivities

This up coming week marks my favorite week of the year. (Tied only with Christmas/New Years Week) Next week is not only Trevor and I's anniversary (5 years!) but it's also the day yours truly was born. With most of our Houston friends RSVPing "yes", combined with the 9 house guests Trevor and I will have in our house, plus few more additional "out of towners", it's going to be a blasty-blast and I CANNOT WAIT!

I guess I'm not your typical 23 about to be 24 year old. I actually LOVE birthdays! I love celebrating them! I don't understand why most people just don't get excited for their birthdays after college but most people don't. In any case, I am totally okay being the minority in this situation. My friend Ashley was telling me that she gets excited for my birthday because I get so excited! I have had several people tell me that can't wait for my party. That truly makes my heart happy. If people get excited enough to come hang out, have a great night out, and just have fun then I think my over excitement about my birthday is great. :) It never fails that my birthday celebrations end up being a great time and that is only because I am blessed to have a great group of friends and family that go along with my crazy birthday antics. So thanks y'all. :)

And last but not least, another fun weekend!

Tonight while the men do what they do best around this time of year (Fantasy Football) the girls are going to do what we do best, drink wine. :) Then tomorrow I have a hair appointment, followed by our dear friend Brandt's Birthday Celebration. It's going to be a great weekend with the people that substitute as our family most of the time.


Lastly, I just want share a little something.This morning when I was saying my morning prayer I got choked up...I just feel so blessed and lucky to have such an amazing life and incredible people in it. I am thankful for the health of my family and friends. I am thankful for the stand out man in my life that I get to call my boyfriend, and so much more... I know that the only reason my life is as good as it is, is because of GOD. Today I feel very blessed and I hope you all do to.

Have a great weekend dolls!

Check out the new catchy train song if you haven't yet. :)

Friday Favorites

It's time for another round of linking up with Carlie at The Duplechin Daily for Friday Favorites. :)

Who is excited for the weekend...THIS GIRL! Work has been shockingly slow this week, making the days crawl by. I enjoy being busy at work much more than slow because the end of the day shows up a lot quicker.

My BFF/Housewife/Soul-Sister is coming in town the weekend with her "main squeeze" and will be our first real guests at the house!  Also our good friend JC, (who has recently moved to North Dakota for work) will also be in town. :)

We have spent the past two evenings working from the moment we got home to get the house COMPLETELY organized, unpacked, and decorated. We have everyone room decorated except ...lol...our own room. We would rather have the rest of the house nice and pretty for guests. Plus I want new stuff for the master bedroom and home decor is pricey!!! There is something about having your first house guest and actually having a guest bedroom that makes you feel grown up. :)

Saturday we are all attending our friends Heather & Heather's "Mad Hatter" Bridal Shower.

Click here to find out the story on the invitations

The theme comes from the classic tale of "Alice in Wonderland". It is a cute and fun theme for a party. Everyone is supposed to wear hats, however, convincing Trevor to wear one has proved to be a difficult task, hah.

August is 1 of my favorite months of the year. (Tied with December) Not only is my birthday on the 28th but as of the 25th, Trevor and I will have been dating for 5 years. The honest truth is I couldn't be happier. I didn't think you could continue falling in love with someone year after year, but I stand corrected.

August also marks the start to the always busy fall season. How busy you ask? Well as of the weekend of August 18th, Trevor and I have something going on every weekend from that point until October 27th! (except one, we have one free weekend, ha). Between birthdays, wedding festivities, Aggie Football, and work, it's going to be a CRAZY couple on months. I wouldn't change it for the world. :)

So it begins, the end of summer to fall countdowns... I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend and has some fun. After this long week, we all deserve it. Cheers dolls!

Random Friday Fun

Okay guys, BE WARNED. This is an extremely random blog and I have no specific direction.

Let me just say this has been a hell on earth less than pleasing work week for me. Thank the GOOD LORD above for Trevor and my friends that make me forget about the stresses of work. So I gather up my strength this morning and head into work bright and early at 6:15 today...I get to work... and this is the inside temperature of my office...

Like, ARE YOU SERIOUS! I was so cold I couldn't hardly type a full e-mail on my computer without my hands shivering. I could seriously kill my next door office mate for being such a dim witted idiot who has no care for other's comfort. I turned that BIATCH down immediately and opened all the doors so  my boss wouldn't come to work to find his employee had turned into an ice sculpture.

HOWEVER... it is Friday. :) So that means time to let go of bitter feelings about work.

With the weekend coming up and also the month of August, which is always a busy and fun month for me, I have several things I am looking forward to.

1-Jessica & JB's baby gender revelation party on Saturday! What is a baby gender revelation party you ask? Well, they found out on Thursday was the gender of that precious little baby is and they didn't tell anyone (anyone coming to the party at least) except for our friend Marina who is hosting the party. Marina is going to bake cake balls and color the inside of the cake balls either blue or pink and all at once after games and bets have been made we will all bite into them at the same time to reveal if baby Bennett will be a girl or boy. Very exciting stuff. And our group will pretty much run with any excuse to have a party. :)

2-We are going to be floating the river in two weeks. Me and Trev pretty much look at river trips like Christmas in July (or August in this case). It has to be one of the funnest things you can do in the Texas summer.

3-FINALLY getting a queen size bed. I have been sleeping in the same full size bed since junior high and I am beyond ready for a bigger bed. It is going to be tough to part with it though, it's so comfy. Chanel however is not a very sharing bed partner so the queen bed will be a great upgrade for everyone.

4-On August 25, Trevor and I will be celebrating 4 years of dating. I don't want to blog too much about this now because I will more than likely make a whole post about it when the actual date draws near but I am very excited. I feel very blessed to have spent the past 4 years with such an extraordinary guy.

5-ANNNNDDD last but CERTAINLY not least, August 28th an angel was born is my birthday and with it falling on a Sunday this year, we are having the party on Saturday the 27th. I am a big birthday person so I absolutely love celebrating them. I am constantly amazed by my wonderful group of friends that never fail to make the current birthday better than all the rest. WOO!

So I am a huge music person. I can honestly say music gets my mood back up during the 45 minute drive home from work. Seriously. If I didn't have music to rock out to on the way home my road rage would be significantly higher (like Houston needs that) and I would be a real peach to be with after work. Here is some "Yay it's Friday and I am happy" songs. I added a link below the videos because I didn't know if they were showing up or not.

The tide is high

YES! It's totally from the Lizzie McGuire movie and yes I know Blondie sang it first but I seriously loved Lizzie McGuire and I loved the way she sang this song. The video is so cute too. :)

Super Base

Love this song. Saw her in concert,, love it even more. Barbz!

Crazy Girl

I think this song is just so cute and I have loved Eli Young Band since 2006. "CRAAAAZZZYYY GIRL, don't you know that I love you" :)

5 O'clock somewhere

Okay this just seems extremely appropriate. It's Friday and everyone is dying for 5 o'clock (4 o'clock for me). And if you know me, you know that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE  Jimmy Buffett.

The way you make me feel

Okay, so this video may have came out before I was born, HOWEVER, I believe you can't go wrong with Michael and if this song doesn't make you want to dance then you should see a Doctor.

P.S. to Friday Playlist- If I hear the songs, "If I die young", "S&M", or "Rolling in the deep" anytime in the next 48 hours I will kick a small child.

I hope you all have an AMAZING weekend spent with the ones you love.

Happy Friday Dolls!
