Tulsa State Fair

Is where I am going tonight with the beau!! I absolutely love the fair! I wait for it to come around each year and always will. I just love the carnival atmosphere. Not much of a rides person anymore but I love to walk around and look at all of the vendors and at least catch clips of each performance, although I have to say the hypnotist is my favorite! This will be the second year beau and I will be going together as a couple, and the third year going together period :)

It is ridiculous how fattening fair food is!! I heard through the grapevine that they have fried BUTTER...really? seriously? sick!! Pineapple Whip ice cream is a must for me at the fair. I cannot leave the fair without getting a cup of Pineapple Whip!! my love<3

The way to go is to agree that you will each get a dinner and desert and then split EVERYTHING!! Ha! Food is all we really spend money on at the fair so this is our one time to go.for.it. Anyways I am super excited and am only 2 hours away from getting off work so we can head that way!

Taylor Swift

I just got an invite from an old friend of mine to join her at the Taylor Swift concert tonight!! I am soo excited! I have not seen this friend (L) in forever!! We, along with another friend of ours that will be going, all grew up in church together and were inseperable when we were younger. They are older than I am so we kind of grew apart when they went off to college but it's crazy how much time can pass and then you see each other and it is like you were never apart.

So back to Taylor Swift! I am not a die hard obsessed fan but I do really enjoy her music and have even been told I look like her before..weird I know..but I am super excited and promise to have pictures since these will be new!! Only problem- what the heck should I wear. It's getting chilly outside but I'm sure the venue will get warm. I'm not even exactly sure where our seats are. But any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! note* I do not own cowboy boots or a hat. Thanks for any and all suggestions!!

Anything New?

So I haven't been blogging much because there is not much to talk about right now. We are in a pretty busy schedule that comprises of work and homework. Throw in a few house duties in there and that is our days right now. Exciting I know!! School is still very overwhelming but I'm getting by. C's job is going good but he's still looking for something he would enjoy more but the money is decent. While we have more income right now, I still don't feel like we have any extra money! It royally sucks, I know I am just complaining and I am so very blessed to have everything we do and each other and honestly that is all I need! But that doesn't change the fact that I would love to just get a few things for this coming Fall and Winter. Why is it that when you actually have more, it still feels like you have hardly anything?

ALSO, I never found my pictures or old files :( DEVASTATED...I still plan on having an I.T. guy look at it but I'm loosing hope. It makes me soo sad. Really not much at all is going on right now. Tulsa has finally cooled down and Fall is on the horizon! I'm ready!! Anyways I will work on replenishing my pictures and try to post more. :)

-Until next time!

OH NO!!

My computer crashed! I really have no idea what happened. It was working one minute and the next I couldn't get it to log back in.. I kept trying to restart it and run the check that the prompt recommended and nothing!! So then I come home from work yesterday and there was a new promp for some sort of Dell DataSafe fixerupper thing. So I went through that process with the mindset that it would clean up my computer and I didn't have many other options considering it was friday and I had homework assignments due this weekend. So the restoration thing worked! but I.LOST.EVERYTHING!! ugh I am so upset. I am almost positive I selected all the correct boxes to make sure my documents didn't get deleted, i.e. notes, pictures, etc. , so I am hoping all of my stuff is just hiding somewhere that I can't find it. I am stressing though because I have three years worth of pictures and I will be devastated if I really lost it all. I am going to take my computer into work on Monday and hope one of my I.T. guys can recover some of my files. If not, I will be one very sad girl :( Hoping for the best!

I FIGURED IT OUT

So YAY!! I figured out how to get pictures where I want them thanks to Lindsay@Delighted Momma. Now I just need to find the time to update my posts and add pictures. The reason that is difficult is because i do most of my posts from work and all of my pictures are on my computer at home so I really must get better at this :)

I am so excited it is finally cooling down. It has been in the upper 70s to mid 80s all week and it is GORGEOUS! I am so excited to whip out the boots and cardigans!! only problem is I need a serious shopping trip! Hopefully I can start picking things up here and there as soon as we know where our finances are with Beau's job. Also, Pinterest has so many cute decor ideas. I am already planning how I want to decorate for the different events(fall in general, Halloween, Thanksgiving, etc.) and have some cute crafts I am hoping I get to work on.

Speaking of Beau, his new job is going surprisingly well. It is so nice to know that we do not need to wonder if we'll have any gas money or be able to get groceries. Of course we do not have ANY money to blow but we are getting by and I know it will just get better.

My little brother made the highschool soccer team!! I am so freakin excited! I will be his #1 fan and I absolutely cannot wait to start cheering him on in the Spring. Soccer is one of the only things that my brother and I have had in common during our younger years. We used to always argue about everything, but now that I am out of the house and we do not get on each other's nerves, we are more alike than I could tell before and connect on a more common ground. Anyways, FREAKING EXCITED yea..

All in all life is good right now. School is tough and overwhelming but I know I can do it and I am just proud of myself for persevering and just making myself do it. Work is work but not horrible. Family and Friends are all in good health and Beau and I are doing great!

<3 alwayz

Update on Stuff

C got a job!! And it's amazing how much stress has been lifted off of my shoulders it seems. It's not a career but it will do for now and I am definitely not complaining!

Last weekend we went to the lake with my parents. They just got a new boat and wanted to show it off! I don't blame them, it was georgous! It was a relaxing day just the 4 of us. C has to work this weekend but I am going up again on Saturday since summer is drawing to a close and we won't have many more chances.

My best "guy" friend is coming into town on Friday and I am so excited to see him!! He is in the military and will be in town for a week for his brother's wedding. I am sure we (all of our friends) will be living it up while he is here!

School is a doozy, I knew I was signing up for alot and I know I can handle it but that does not make it any easier! There is always something to do and not any free time. My days basically consist of work, house cleaning, and homework. I know it will pay off but that doesn't make it suck any less.

I am SOOO ready for Fall to be here!! I have a shopping list compiled and my Christmas list started :) Maybe that's a little much but it's not that I am expecting it all by any means, it's just a wish list. I am officially a huge fan of Pinterest and have found so many cute home ideas and style ideas. I absolutely love speculating over what something might look like in our home or how might I be able to achieve a similar look. C told me last night I should just be an interior decorator :) That is fine by me!

-until next time <3

HELP PLEASE
