....

Sorry I have not blogged in quite some time. A close friend of the family who was only 24 passed away this past Friday so I've been dealing with. I will post at a later date with a more uplifting post.

Weekend update!

Ok so I know it's already Tuesday and I am just NOW doing a weekend update but with the craziness of life happening, this is my first chance. Anyway, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and your work week is coming along nicely. Let's see this weekend...Friday was a nice quite night. I went shopping with my mom and got quite a few things. One thing in particular was my graduation outfit (which by the way is adorable and I am super psyched about it). I got a few summer shirts because the store was having a great sale. It was nice to finally get to spend some alone time with my mom since our schedules rarely allow it.

Saturday: During the day my sister was home so we ran to the mall and did some errands together which was super nice. I don't get to see her that often so when I do I love it! I swear this weekend was all about family. Each day I got to spend it with someone new for which I am very appreciative. Saturday night we went to Dave and Buster's so everyone in my sister's bridal party could meet. (She has 21 people in her bridal party..whew talk about a lot of people) Here are two pictures from the night. We had a blast meeting everyone and playing games!

Sunday: It was my brother's 17th birthday (ugh I feel so old). So we had family over for a nice dinner, cake and presents. On Monday my brother got his license. Seriously where has the time gone. I feel like it was yesterday we were little kids playing together. Time does fly when you're having fun!

Well there's my weekend pretty full and busy. Now it is time for some relaxing which I have not done in forever! Goodnight!

Not enough hours in a day!

I can't believe how busy I have been the past week. Between working every day and going to school full-time, whew it's hard work. The semester is finally beginning to wind down which=tons of homework, projects, papers, and exams. Since this is my last semester as an undergrad I am really trying my hardest to stay focused! With that said my blog has taken a backseat to studying. I have to finish the semester strong in order to keep my GPA high so please excuse the lack of posts. What I hate most is not being able to keep up with all of you wonderful ladies on a daily basis. Well that's my rant for the day! Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!

Happy Easter!!

Soo this post will be a short one but I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter!!!Enjoy the day today with family and friends. This afternoon I will be going to a Flyer's game and then family dinner tonight. I am soo excited!! Well everyone be safe in your travels today and have a wonderful day!

New Luggage!!!

Ok...so I may be a dork for getting excited about buying new luggage but this is my FIRST set of luggage that I have owned. What I mean is, every time I go on vacation I use my parents' luggage and I figured since I am going to be graduating college soon and living on my own, it was about time I purchased my own luggage. Anyway I have been wanting this 4-piece set from Overstock.com for about a year now. I figured now was the time to buy because 1. It was on sale and 2. I have a few vacations coming up in the Spring and Summer that I wanted it for. It is sooo adorably cute and I CANNOT WAIT until it gets here!!!

Here's a picture of it below...I ordered it from Overstock.com and clicked on 4-piece luggage sets and scrolled through and found this one. It's so cute!! I am such a girly girl and I love pink and polka dots so when I saw this I knew I HAD to have it!! It costs me $88.54 and that was with free shipping and 5% off so it's retail price is 92.99 and 2.99 shipping but you can find a code for free shipping!!



There is my soon to be new luggage. Can't wait for it to get here!! What do you think about it?

Busy Busy Busy

Wow I can't believe it is already Monday afternoon. The past week was extremely busy (hence the lack of posts). Since the semester is beginning to wind down I am having a ton of papers, projects, exams, etc. due. The past week was filled with all those things plus more. On a positive note I received a call about an interview but the position is in another state. Although it's about 2 hours away I'm quite nervous about possbily moving if I got the position. And if I got the position and had to move the BF won't move unless he were to get a job down there (understandably). I may be getting ahead of myself but I think about things like this all the time. I feel its better to be overprepared then underprepared!

My weekend was pretty busy as we were celebrating my boyfriend's birthday. Friday night we went to Carrabas (an Italian restaurant) where I paid for dinner. Me and my mom gave him his presents which consisted of a Phillies jersey, Phillies tickets, and money (Can you tell he's a Phillies fan lol). Saturday we went to a local bar where there was an 80's cover band which was awesome!! We both had a blast!! Sunday, like usual, I spent the ENTIRE day doing school work. BLEH! The next 6 weeks can't come soon enough!!

Anyway I hope all you lovely ladies have a wonderful weekend!

Weekend Recap!!

Sooo the past few days have been quite busy for me!! This weather this weekend was absolutely beautiful!! Starting Thursday I had a benefit for my brother's high school where they served us dinner at this fancy place and there was a Rod Stewart look-alike show. That was blast. Also included was an 85 basket chinese auction in which over 600 people attended. Ladies, these baskets were insane!! There was even an outdoor grill. Talk about some expensive prizes!!

Friday I spent the day shopping with my grandmom. We did breakfast at a local place and had an awesome time the rest of the day. I did buy some goodies which I will show later one!! At night there was a benefit for my best friend's brother who had passed away when we were sophmores in high school while serving our country. The money raised goes in a scholarship fund for a local senior football player. Anyway the best news of the night was my boyfriend won a 32" LCD TV. Wow we were surprised!! (He's always so gosh darn lucky.

Sunday I drove up to North Jersey to check out the place my sister and her fiance haved picked to have their reception at. We also attended a mass where the ceremony will be held and the church is absolutely beautiful. She will be able to get really nice pictures inside and out. Seeing these two places just made me even more excited for her!!

Anyway here are some of the things I purchased this weekend (yes they are all black and white and I know it is Spring but I couldn't help it!)
