Here is a cute little shirt I ordered and got in the mail... hello honeymoon! :)

[21] Little Pots :)

I found these little flower pots at CVS... I thought they were too cute. I don't know if I'll grow them now or if I'll wait to put them in my new residence - with my new hubby :)

[20] Water

I'm trying to drink more of this:

I think we will become good friends

[19] nothing again...

I didn't take any pictures again!

So sad... it was just a very lax weekend... I took in ever minute of it, because in the following weeks to come... I am VERY busy.

Here you go:
Saturday: Senior photo Session and my Brother's Prom
Sunday: Family Shower (and I'm sure I'll work on some photos)
Saturday: nothing right now... but we will be in MAY!!! oh my gosh!
Sunday: Senior Photo Session (different senior)
Saturday: last minute planning I'm sure
Sunday: Mother's Day
Saturday: EXACTLY ONE WEEK - I am hyperventilating... someone else is marrying... don't think I'm going... haha! too much stuff to do!
Sunday: Brother's Senior brunch at church
Saturday: HELLO WEDDING!!!!!
Sunday: HELLO MEXICO!!!

I cannot believe it's here already! where did the time go!

So, I apologize in advance if there are not many photo posts!

[18] nothing...

I can't believe I didn't take any pictures.

I was doing so good!!! haha!

I had plenty of opportunities. My dad came home from Korea... he brought Derik and I fun wooden masks... photo op = missed...

Also, we had a turtle in our pool. We thought it had died, but we scooped it up with a net and realized it was still alive. It was cute. And, my brother's dog Sadie was very curious about it - haha! photo op 2 = missed again!!!

SO mad... oh well. I did a lot of other photo work :) go see my blog :)

[17] Rainy Days

It's cold and rainy today, so, I got myself a yummy cinnamon bun. Have you seen that I post a LOT about food... whoops :) haha!

So, I meant to take a photo BEFORE I ate it... but, it's like half gone now :)

[14] Me and Sonic

Not much going on tonight... just me and my cherry limeade :)

[13] This week

I had to stay late on Friday, and sadly, I have to stay at work late all this week and next Monday.

this is my note to self... instead of 10pm I have to wait until 10:30pm :(

[12] Easter Sunday

Here's Derik on our way to Easter lunch :)

[11] Flowers

I took this picture at the Zilker Botanical Gardens - pretty!

This is where Derik proposed. We went here to take pics of my brother and cousin... see here soon for their senior pics :)

[10] Shopping Art

Since I'm working on a holiday [insert sad face] I went shopping during my dinner break. I have to stay later at work to fill in for some people, so I could afford a longer dinner break.

Here are some murals that I thought were SO cool (I kept thinking... remember to come back here for people's portrait sessions) I'm always on the look-out :) ~ I did a little "doctor-ing"

[9] Easter Candy

Yes, this is my brother:

I went to take my mom something at her work that she left at home (she works at my brother's HS) and my brother came in to visit and he showed me his Easter Candy (really the container it came in) he called her Chickadee :) haha! oh my brother is just great, isn't he!?

**he doesn't know I posted this either**
haha!

[8] FREE camera

Lately a lot of people have been doing giveaways on their blogs.

For some reason I have been one lucky lady!

Here are my winnings to date:

- 50% off my custom made invitations
- free garter set
- free thank you/stationary set
- FREE Kodak camera!!!

This last one - the camera... was SUCH a surprise. Here's the link on how I won. I basically just told the blogger our proposal story... and she picked it as her favorite - GO DERIK!!! :)

It came in the mail today and I was so excited. On the contest, it showed a black camera, which I liked. I opened my camera and it was PINK - I'm not really a pink girl, but I can't complain about a FREE camera!

Here's my beloved [pink] camera. I took it with my old camera... I am now retiring it and am going with my new one.

[7] Is your Kisser

Here is my # from Whataburger tonight :)

didn't turn out bad, considering it was taken on my phone :)

I love this commercial...

[6] Baby Brother

Y'all - my baby brother is graduating soon :(

He'll be going to UT next fall... I hope he has a blast!

His graduation invitations came in this past week!

[5] Damage

Me and my mom made this weekend a GIRLS weekend! It was fun and I'm so glad we did it. We left for Dallas (see my below post) to take my BRIDALS. We went to the Dallas Arboretum - B-e-a-utiful!

We stayed overnight and ATE - YUM! first night Olive Garden, woke up for some IHOP and then we went........ SHOPPING! 

Girls, did I ever do some damage :)

I bought 3 shirts, a Coach clutch..... for an unbelieveable $15!!!!! All for the honeymoon :)

I also got Derik some "honeymoon boxers" haha... I'm ridiculous! :)

I also got a dress to go away in from the reception... but I want to keep it a surprise :)

[4] Fun Saturday = BRIDALS

ok - so since I was out of town (Dallas) this weekend... here are my Saturday pics :)

SATURDAY! oh my gosh what can I say about Saturday! It was such a blast! When I'm off and married I will let you all know where to look for my bridals! :)

Make up... I'm so proud I did it on my own!!

Here is one of me getting ready!!! :)

This was such a fun weekend!

[3] This evening...

Here is the sky behind my work... on my way to dinner!

I am going to try and take more pictures BEFORE I go to work... all of them seem to be related to work :)

~ I did doctor it a little... only cause I wanted to ~ :)

I'm going to take my BRIDALS this weekend... so, I will try and take pictures each day, but probably won't post them all until Monday :)

[2] What I wanted...

Ok, so this is what I wanted to get...

but I refrained, I am (unfortunately) eating another kind of candy that I picked up at CVS. gotta love those Sour Jolly Rancher (the chewy gummy kind) YUM! AND - our vending machine prices went up to $1 - they were once 50-65cents :( boo!

But, every time I think of the vending machine - my mind wonders to the episode where Jim puts Dwight's desk accessories in the vending machine ~ including his wallet. hahaha! LOVE IT!

OH Office - wish you were on tonight. Instead I'm watching the LAST EVER ER... hahaha - I never really watched it, well, a LONG time ago!

[1] AC Slater

So, I totally forgot (ON THE FIRST DAY - terrible) and I remembered at work. So, not creative, but pretty entertaining!

You see, we have SO many posters here at my work of all our shows that air on our station. The View, Ellen, Oprah... etc. Another ~ A-La-Extra (Extra Extra Extra - can you hear it?). We have a board that my co-worker randomly changes to voice what AC Slater (Mario Lopez) is thinking or feeling. Quite entertaining ~ let me tell you! :)

Low and Behold - AC:

Here he is saying "I am immune to the economy" and "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"
Last month AC was telling Preppie something - can't remember??

Oh AC - You keep us so entertained!
