Weekend Recap!

Here I sit, finally watching the Bachelorette from last week and blogging about the weekend. :) How was yours? Good? Hot? We actually got a little rain the past couple days...and it has been so very needed here.

Sooo this weekend, Eric and I headed on a float trip with some coworkers. I was a little nervous because  it kinda feels like you're walking on the sun when you're outside in this heat, but it was actually really fun! We had some clouds and even a little rain on part of the trip, which likely helped a lot. :) 

Oh wait... rewind... *sound of hitting the brakes here* Eric and I went and grabbed Mexican food on Friday night (mmmmm....guacamole) and then headed to see if I could quickly find some sandals before the float trip. We got into a discussion about how I'm incredibly, mind-blowingly a tinge clumsy and how I should quit wearing cheapo depo flip flops or whatever when hiking, floating, etc b/c they likely don't make it any better. He convinced me to go try on some Chacos annnnnnd guess what happened... I freaking accidentally SAT on the corner of the shoebox...and cut the back of my leg open. on the shoebox. It was super graceful. And I was bleeding at Sun & Ski. haha.. wow. So yeah, decision was made and the fabulous Chacos below were purchased... :) I kinda love them by the way... Comfy, cute, and they keep me from falling! If only I could wear Chocos to work... or if someone could just make high heels as comfy as Chacos...

Okay, so Saturday morning, I got my trusty fedora, neck koozie, and Chacos and we hit the road... :)
Stopped at a gas station right by the river... Glad they reminded patrons of the necessities... ya know milk, bread, drinks, ....smokes (?) haha... Random.
 Eric brought a one man raft... that may or may not be Nascar themed....and we may or may not refer to it as "the river racer." He cracks me up! Check him out, just leisurely floating behind us...lol! He shared the river racer with his fellow floaters, of course...

Today was Heather's baby shower! It was super cute and little Kaylee received lots of really thoughtful gifts. :) We played a couple of games that were actually really cute! I mean, I am usually the anti-game shower-goer, but these were quite good. They passed around pink yarn and people had to cut off a string that they thought measured Heather's baby bump. The below pic is her adorable son testing his yarn. So cute. And then they blindfolded the hostess (her twin sister!) & Heather and had them dress baby dolls as quickly as possibly-from diapers to socks to little Baby Gap outfits... Comedy!

 Me with the gorgeous mamma!
Little Kaylee is gonna be quite the fashionista! Check out her little True Religion skirt...ha! So adorable!

So long and short, beat the heat this weekend with some good friends and good times...

Next weekend is an annual girls trip with some college friends-excited!

I don't know what the heck I'll blog about in September when all the babies, weddings, events, etc come to a close... haha... I'll come up with something. ;)

Happy last week in July, friends! <-- whoa, right?!

Morgan said...

did you just say it's the last week in July? No way!

Also, your Chacos will last you forever...especially since they made you bleed your own blood. :)

Yay for float trips! So much fun!! The new shoes are super cute and comfy-looking! And of course you look adorbs in your fedora! The TR skirt is too precious- makes me really hope that if we ever lose our minds and decide to a child (doubtful) that it will be a girl : )

Love the Baby True. So Presh. I'm also obsessed with Baby Burberry--a few of my friends are going to have some well dress little peanuts thanks to my obsession! That float trip looked like a BLAST--and I was giggling at your story about the shoebox...too funny! Happy Monday :)

Jackie, I am SO sorry! I had you for the Bloggy Bracelet Swap w/ Michabella and just got the envelope that I sent your way back in the mail ripped to shreds without the bracelet inside. :( I will be making another one and sending it securely this week! SO so sorry!
