Weekend Recap...ON TIME for once! ;)

Hiiiiiiiiii everyone! How was your weekend?!

Mine? 

Fabtastic, but BUSY! Why? 

Well...I got to spend time with some fabulous friends at a bachelorette party, went to a surprise brunch for one of my first college friends to turn the big three-oh, volunteered at my former university, and autumn-ized my casa!

But, the best part is... 

Do you remember this post where I talked about the handbag I saw a month or so ago and fell in love with b/c it seriously is the PERFECT bag? Do you remember how I said I'd been looking for a bag like this for um... years? But, I just couldn't justify it right now with lots of wedding showers and other events plus Maui?

Okay, so Friday night, Eric and I went to a chillax dinner. It'd been a long week for us both and we were looking forward to stuffing our faces with chips and salsa and doing a big fat nothing. So, alllllll the way there I bitched discussed how, while I love being involved and invited, having a wedding related activity and/or other thing EVERY weekend lately was really bogging me down...and breaking the bank. (So basically I was whining a lot and likely being annoying) So, after a beer and some guacamole, life was all good again.. haha... Anyway, we got in the car and Eric took my handbag from me and put it in the backseat. 

I thought "well, that was nice" and said thank you.. Then, he said "here's your handbag" and I said "No, you can leave it back there" semi confused....

...until he pulled out THE bag....

I love that guy....a lot. 

I gasped and said "No.you.didn't." And then, things got a little blurry... like literally...b/c I got tears in my eyes...haha.. Here I'd been a whiney moron the early part of the evening and Eric went and was so freaking thoughtful. Good grief I don't deserve him sometimes... a lot of times... 

After lots of thank yous and hugs and staring at the leather bag, I had Eric take my photo with it...haha! I then proceeded to embrace the bag. Yeah, I did. I'm not going to be a cheesy mess here, but if I could put into words how much I appreciate Eric, you all would stop reading my blog b/c you'd never make it through the post... I don't deserve the bag...or Eric sometimes...but I'm certainly extremely happy and lucky to have them both... :)

Okay, stop gagging now and let's move forward.... ;)

Saturday night, headed out for Carrie's bachelorette party! She's in the middle in the bright dress. Eric was at the groom's bachelor party out of town at the same time. :) Eric went to high school with the groom...and we both went to college with the bride. I'm 99.9% sure they actually met through Eric (he's thoughtful AND a matchmaker. I'm just sayin...). 

We started the night at one of the girl's houses where we played a game involving wearing a..ahem...headband...and throwing rings over it. These pics likely won't make the facebook album, but the whole thing was freaking hilarious!

Sunday morning, a group of Brooke's friends and family gathered at a local eatery for a surprise 30th birthday brunch! She's the first girlie in our group in T-town to hit the big dirty thirty so we decided do something fun! :)  

Andrew, Sarah, and their adorable little guy....

The birthday girl, Brooke, her hubs, and their cutetastic son (you'll start to see a trend that all my friends have little boys...)

Ashley, Lee, and the newest member of the little basketball team in the making (haha)...

Jenny, Jeff, and their adorable kiddo.....

And last but not least, me and my family...er...child....er...handbag.... haha.. I totally had Sarah take this to be funny after all the family photos...

The girlies... 

They're buddies and it's seriously adorable. 

Hope you had a fabulous weekend, peeps! How did it go by so quickly?! Sheesh... But, the good thing about Monday this week... GOSSIP G!RL IS BACK! Do you watch?! I'm so excited! We're having a lil premiere party at our house!
