Weekend in Review: 7/28/13

...and by weekend in review I mean Sunday, because we bought a camera on Saturday and didn't capture anything until Sunday.

We purchased the Sony Cybershot and are so happy with its swiftness in taking photos. The saleswoman at Best Buy kept saying, "There's nothing faster than a Sony" and I can honestly say she was 100% right. 

Sunday morning we met Adam's parents for lunch at Puckett's in downtown Franklin for Brunch! The drive to meet them was absolutely gorgeous and we had our windows down the entire time. The skies were so very blue and the temperature felt like fall! After we filled up on french toast we walked around the square and tested out the camera a little bit more. Again, we were just super impressed and started taking pictures of really random objects which I will not bore you with. You're welcome!

Later on we headed to see 'The Way Way Back' which has finally been released into all theaters. We really enjoyed the movie- if you are a fan of Almost Famous and the way you are really brought into a story, you'll like it. You feel for Duncan, the main character, and empathize with his experiences. Loved it.

We grabbed a bite to eat at The Cheesecake Factory (my favorite) and then walked around the mall. Adam purchased his very first bow tie at Brooks Brothers which he definitely rocked in court today. He's dreamy, I tell ya. 

So there you are, a little weekend Sunday in review. We will be going out of town this weekend so I want to show you my must have travel picks this week. I hope your Monday got off to a great start, I'll talk to you soon.

Sunday Funday

It has become quite the tradition that every Sunday we go over to my parents house for lunch. When I was little, while we lived in south Alabama, we would go to my grandparent's home and do the exact same thing. Relax, eat, hang out, take naps, catch up from the past week and have a great time. When we were little I know it was a respite for my parents to have the kids run around with a little extra help. Now we are older and are pretty good at taking care of ourselves, but the time are still as sweet. 

Daddy made sure the grill was fired up and hot for the burgers which were perfect for the beautiful late summer day. We sipped on wine, watched some fun shows and stayed until 5 o'clock. I love this time in my life where I get to spend time with my family on a regular basis. 

Thank you to my parents for always providing a comfortable place to land at the end of a busy week! 

I hope you all had a great weekend as well! 

I'll talk to you soon!

Vlogmas:Day 10 & 11

Happy Monday!

This weekend flew by but so many things happened. For an easier recap, I'm just going to post both vlogs for your enjoyment.

I hope your days away from the office or the stressful days at your job were enjoyed and relished. We're on to a new wonderful week and are less than two weeks from Christmas. Eek I've got to get on the ball!

Vlogmas Day 10 {Saturday}

A doctors visit and The Dickens of a Christmas Festival

Vlogmas Day 11 {Sunday}

A Sunday Funday filled with burritos and a movie

I will talk to you soon,

Vlogmas: Day 4

Good morning lovely friends!

I feel like this past weekend flew by oh so quickly....come back!
If you are wondering about our car, it is finally fixed. The problem was, as stated in Vlogmas Day 2, that our AC/Heater fan was broken as well as another component. For the first time in over a year our AC will blow on more levels than just high! We had the same problem about a year and a half ago which was fixed last summer and then out it went again! All things considered, we still had a car that drove and got us to where we needed to be. But now our car not only drives, it also has a fan that blows on levels 1-4. Hallelujah :)
Without further ado, our Sunday Funday! 

 

With the holidays in full force I am seeing our calendar fill up so quickly. Every weekend there is an activity, party or event to attend and I need to remember to be in the moment. I'm dedicating this entire week to solely Christmas music. Nothing but holly jolly music all the time.


I hope today is productive for you seeing as it is the beginning to a new week. Grab that coffee and work your butt off. I'll be back tomorrow for more fun vlogging!

Sunday Funday and a Gloomy Monday

Good evening, you!

It has been rather gloomy, yesterday and today, the rain has yet to stop. We've been told that snow is on it's way...I'm assuming sleet or slush but not snow...we're not that lucky.

While Saturday was semi productive we ended up sleeping in way too late on Sunday morning, so much that we slept through our alarms to get up for church. We got our little selves ready and started the day regardless of productive inabilities.

Seeing as the weather wasn't letting up and we had been given a movie gift card from Adam's aunt, we decided to check out what was playing.

About 15 minutes north of us is an area called Green Hills known for the glamorous lifestyles of the rich and famous but also to some great shopping. I like great shopping, FYI.

We opted for a late lunch at Whole Foods and split a wrap while coincidentally seeing the drummer of The Black Keys! If you don't already know who they are by their name, I'm sure you would know them by some of their songs {Next Girl, Howlin' For You} which have been featured in commercials and all over the radio. In our nerdy music-obsessed way, we got super excited inside (Adam basically jumped for joy) and then walked away. We're not the kind to talk to celebrities or ask for autographs, we just admire from afar and oogle at how well they're dressed. We are weird- it has been settled- now lets move on.

After filling up on yummy wrap-ness we shopped around and bought some grooming goodies then headed to the larger mall for even more wallet emptying.

Give me a shopping center and I'm your girl. Amen.

I'll skim over the boring details of window shopping but wanted to quickly mention that before the movies we stopped by Trader Joes to pick up some special cookies that are only out for the holidays:

We went to see Hugo which I was so enthralled by. If you have the chance to check it out while playing in theaters, spend a couple of extra dollars and see it 3-D. It was beautifully made and the story completely drew us is. The dvd will undoubtedly be purchased by these Davis's mind you :)

I hope this week treats you well, you deserve a good start to this holiday madness.

I'll talk to you soon...
