First, I'll start with last week- it was a pretty good week, not too busy with anything besides a Potluck at work on Tuesday. We have potlucks once a month to celebrate birthdays for that month and of course have great food!! This potluck was Taco Bar. We had everything from beef, chicken tacos, to chips/salsa, cheese dip, cookie cake, banana pudding and cookies! It was amazing and of course I ate way too much! Here's some pictures from the potluck
Mmmmm....so good
Delicious Banana Pudding- my favorite
Taco Bar
Mango Salsa- it went by quickly!
As you can see from the photos it was an awesome potluck with great food! Wednesday I cancelled all my clients and a bunch of us girls from work went to Fort Smith for a Continuing Education Class. It was over Pediatric Disorders and very informative, I'm glad I went and got lots of good info.
Wednesday after work I went to Sunny Nails and got a pedicure. I think I've mentioned before how their pedicures are amazing- they use hot stones to massage your legs/feet- and it feels sooooo good! Then, Thursday night Andrew and I went to dinner at Napoli's a local Italian restaurant in Rogers. I got chicken and broccoli tortellini- mmmm it was very good. Andrew got pizza and he really liked it too. There's so many good choices on the menu that I want to try- looks like I'll just need to go a lot more = )
Friday was when all the festivities began!!! I got off work at 2 and called to meet up with my mom. She came into town for my bridal shower, BUT Friday we headed to an early dinner at PF Chang's first then headed off to Cherokee Casino in Siloam. We decided to stay there that night and have some fun. I've never stayed at the hotel but it was really nice and we had a lot of fun. Of course I took some pictures
I thought this was funny- wearing their lucky jackets
Mom hit a good one!!
Saturday morning we woke up and ate breakfast at the buffet in the Casino the headed back to Rogers. We got my car and headed to Fayetteville for my bridal shower. The bridal shower was at Mermaid's and it went great!!! I don't have a lot of pictures because my camera broke that day! I took some with my camera before I started opening presents. It was a great turn out and we got TONS of goodies!!! Thank you bridesmaids for a wonderful shower!!
The yummy petit fours with rings on them
Food was great
And here's the pictures of all the stuff taking up the spare bedroom = )
We loved loved everything and was so blessed to get so many gifts from family and friends! Now we can't wait to put it all in the new house!
After the shower Andrew, my mom and I went to go look at the house. Mom and I went Friday before we headed to the Casino but they had done a lot in 1 day! They got our granite counter-tops in and the bathroom counter-tops, light fixtures and finished painting. I'm so excited- we did get some bad news though = ( Our contractor told us that they're shooting for March 30th- this whole time we still thought March 15th. BUT we're just hoping he's overshooting the deadline instead of undershooting it! Here comes the pictures galore
Closer look at granite
Spare bathroom- still need those sinks!
Storage closet in master bathroom
OK! Sorry for all the pictures- but I like to watch the progress. After dinner Mom and I went to Mason's and then went to Bordino's for some dinner. Just about every time she comes into town we go to Bordino's and split dinner and get a yummy tini. Of course it was wonderful- afterwards we went to Common Grounds and got hot chocolate. If you're ever there get the Meltdown- it has vanilla ice cream in hot chocolate- OMG wish I had some right now!!
Today my mom left around 10:30 to go back to Conway = ( and I worked on some thank you cards. Andrew and I went to Fayetteville to hang out at his parents for awhile and tonight we met with some people to possibly buy a kitchen table from. We went and looked and it was a great price so we got it. We won't keep it forever but it's a great table to last us until we find one we really like! Of course some more pictures
Ok, last thing- Big Kara sent me an e-mail Friday night that TOMs came out with light blue sparkle TOMs- THANK YOU TOMs, I've been waiting for you to make these!!! Not only because I love blue but wanted to wear them for my wedding (well reception part). I asked Mason's if they were getting them in soon, and they said they were only TOMs exclusive- so if you want some you might want to order them online.
Hope everyone had a great week, of course I'm closing the blog with 2 pictures of my sweet Nala girl.
This does not look comfy, but she didn't seem to mind
Have a great week
~Kara~
