5 on Friday

Hey y'all,

This week has gone by so fast and I am ready for the weekend so that I can possibly organize my life to be a bit less crazy next week. Anyway, there are a few things this week that I am celebrating so lets get to it:

1. Carolina's Homecoming! Yep, UNC plays UVA tomorrow at 12:30 and I am so lucky to have snagged some seats through work so eCs and I are going and will be almost at the 50 yard line! Woot Woot! I have always loved going to the UNC/UVA game since there is a long standing rivalry between the two schools and I was also denied admission to UVA back in high school so I love when Carolina grabs the win. 

If you will be at the game let me know! I would love to meet some of y'all!

Also, shameless plug if you are a Carolina student go vote for Mr. & Ms. UNC! The candidates work really hard on putting together service projects the money will go towards and two of my sorority sisters are running on platforms that benefit children so Chelsea & Jordan are great choices!

2. Prep in your blood. So this weekend while I was in the guest room of my parent's house I found this treasure. 

Yep that is a needlepoint bean boot. My grandmother actually did this piece and since she was from New Hampshire. I had always grown up around bean boots and nautical things so I have always had a mixture of northern prep from my family and southern prep from my surroundings. Bean boots have always been in my life and yet I still do not have a pair since to me they were always reserved for living with snow and ice and not a fashion statement. 

What are your thoughts on bean boots?

3. Executive Board Elections. So Monday night was elections for Phi Beta Chi's Kappa chapter and I was so proud of how the night went. It was filled with tough decisions but I am excited to work with these women over the next year especially my great-grandlittle who is the incoming Fundraising chair. 

4. Boo-lated Halloween presents. So my office did the tradition of booing offices last year and talking to work friends a lot of them didn't get boo-ed. So since it is such a big deal in my parent's neighborhood I figured I would begin the booing this year. 

 Trying to be sneaky one morning to deliver the gifts.

 So I was not boo-ed during the month of October but neither was CW so on Halloween I gave CW a Halloween goodie bag and this morning she delivered this "boo-lated" gift. I now have more Halloween candy and a bit of decor to put in storage until next year.

5. 30 days of thanks. Blog Friends. Last night I went to my first TriFabb event and it was great to meet some other bloggers and hang out with Allison again!

Lauren, Myself, Allison, Molly, and Justiss

I am so thankful for the blogging community, through it I have made some amazing friends and some people I can call friends in real life as well. There are the sweetest people out there blogging and through swaps, emails, meet-ups, and link-ups I have met such a diverse group of people who all love to share things and are there for you no matter what. While I wish I could met all of y'all in person I am slowly growing my blog circle and that is a great thing!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Hey y'all,


...that I am having dinner before chapter tonight with my baby sister, kDi (yes those initials do spell KID). It has been only a few weeks since seeing Beauty and the Beast so I can't wait to catch up just the two of us and then we will both be home for the holidays!

...since I was a band nerd in high school I love this video of the Ohio State Marching Band 


and this one


or if you Michael Jackson this one


Seriously, I think I love their band director for picking these themes and having amazing band because I can promise practicing every week for a different show is tough!

...the Biggest Loser Season 15. I have always love the Biggest Loser but this season is filled with incredible stories of individuals who are trying to change their lives for a second chance.

...planning adventures with Allison. I love that we are getting to hang out and I get to know her through our small group this fall but it is going to be a fun night next week!

...tomorrow is Halloween! I am dressing up for work since there is a bit of a competition and it is hard to find a work appropriate costume but I am dressing up as Audrey Hepburn from Breakfast at Tiffany's so let's hope it turns out ok!

Hey y'all,

This week I am loving....

...that I was able to make it to the NC State Fair this year! I love going to the fair and since I missed my county fair for the past few years. I had the best date to the fair, my sorority sister lSc, and we had a ton of fun at the Scotty McCreery concert, but more on that in tomorrow's post.

...my parent's sent me this Halloween package today. Yes, I am 23 and I still get candy and a card.

...that it is Big/Little week and on Saturday I get to welcome home my great-great-grandlittle!

...I am going to the Boston College vs. UNC game this week through work. This will be my 3rd game of the season and I still have Homecoming's game against UVA so I am super excited to go to a total of 4 games for only $50.

...it is finally feeling like fall this week with temperatures in the 60s for a high. It has been perfect weather especially today.

...my new laptop so that I can get back in the swing of things including blogging!
