Jessica Simpson Nude Heels from Dillard's - $49.99
[My Aunt Patty, Mother, Myself and Aunt Sandra]
Today I learned that people are always going to let you down.. no matter what. It's okay though when you have the most wonderful boyfriend, awesome family and friends you can count on. I'm glad to be where I am surrounded by people that actually care for me. I spent the day with my grandmother, mother and aunts at a Wedding Shower for a dear family friend and I appreciated every moment. My family has always been accepting of whatever I want to do and they support and guide me if needed. I'm just trying to appreciate every moment with everyone in my life who is special to me. I've been let down and affected by so many people during my twenty-two years of living and it's time to just forget about all the negativity. I don't want to take anything or anyone for granted. There is nothing wrong with being optimistic right? I've been a pessimist far too long.
My friend Sarah had to cancel on me this evening because of summer school. She isn't done until next week so we rescheduled. My boyfriend knows how much I love going to Roosevelt's so he decided we should just make a date night since I no longer had plans. I decided to throw on this cute crop top I purchased at Target for only $17.99 along with my high waisted skinny jeans from F21 that were only $10.99! I finished the outfit with my adorable flat forms I also purchased online at F21 for $27.99. I am so excited for our little date, I love spending time with Eddie and dressing up is always fun. Have a fun and safe evening everyone!
I apologize that I am still working on my travel post. I have been using iMovie on my MacBook Pro that is five years old which basically means it works extremely slow. Also, my boyfriend and I also share a charger so I haven't been able to finish editing my videos. It will be soon, I promise!
[Ferdinand enjoying the beach]
In the meantime, I have been wanting to blog so I figured I might as well post something. This past weekend was spent at South Padre Island with my entire family, including my wonderful boyfriend and a spoiled little English Bulldog (Ferdinand). My family went to the beach because my uncle got married to his fiance this past Saturday. It was a lot of fun seeing my family and spending time with them on the beach. We ate a lot of good food, hung out by the ocean and enjoyed a beautiful wedding ceremony. It was my first time attending a "beach wedding" so I wasn't sure how casual I should dress. I bought a cute little romper from Shop 112 (local boutique) that my friend Sarah suggested I wear for the outdoor wedding. It was the perfect choice because it wasn't going to fly up on me (major plus) and it was comfortable in the awful heat we've been experiencing in South Texas. The wedding was short but it was nice to see my uncle so happy and I was glad to be there and witness it. The rest of the evening was spent with my boyfriend and my cousin Brandon who was visiting from Washington State. We drank a lot! It was tons of fun hanging out with my cousin that I hadn't seen since middle school, he is my only close cousin on dad's side of the family so it was cool to show him around the island and hang out again. We ended the evening drinking in the sand and walking along the water. Anyways, that was pretty much my weekend. I've done quite a bit this week. I've been making sure to run 3 miles everyday so I can lose some weight and it's been pretty tough but I've been keeping up with it. I just had to take Mia and Jade to watch The Guardians of the Galaxy, I saw the midnight showing last Thursday and fell in love with the movie. Chris Pratt has a special place in my heart and the movie was easily my favorite Marvel movie. My sisters loved the movie just as much as I did and I was glad that they enjoyed it. Since I babysit them all day we've also been playing a lot of Rock Band on the PlayStation and I've been cooking for them. We've also been checking out the library and making stops at Target. It's been a lot of fun hanging out with them and I'm really enjoying the last few weeks of Summer. The fun shall continue tonight because Sarah and I are going to Roosevelt's for our usual Thursday hangout which means good beer and conversations. The rest of the weekend I plan on editing, writing and doing a lot of reading. I hope you all have had a fantastic week and that you continue having a fun summer because it is almost over! Thanks for reading, I appreciate it.
[chris cohen - don't look today]
Before I go, I want to leave you with another chris cohen song. I can't get any of his songs out of my head. 'Overgrown Path' has become my favorite album this summer. This song is my favorite to sing along to, I hope you like it.
